Did you have to Quarantine for 1 day?

Sorry for not being clear, I came from Pattaya, and flew from Bangkok. There were previously all sort of restrictions and procedures to come to Phuket, now there are none.

I had a quiet first night here. I am with the twin sister of my ex, we just drank tequila, then relaxed in the hot tub before going to bed. Tonight, we will hit the bars.

Did you have to Quarantine for 1 day?

Coming to Phuket was a breeze, once I realized that nobody cared about the non-functional app that was supposed to provide a necessary QR code at Phuket Airport.

Hey mate,

I'll be in Phuket December, it'll be my first time there but I've researched quite a bit about it. If you need a drinking buddy whilst finding these chicks let me know.

Said politely with a chuckle.

You two will likely be a case of the blind leading the blind. LOL!

But, if you open your wallets enough, and they're full enough of 1000 baht notes, you'll have no problem having fun.

I'd say send me a PM to chat and I'll give you some tips, hopefully you have paid to get PM capability.

If not, do so quickly.

Divorce finalized 3 months ago and after the shitshow that was thanksgiving, I decided to spend December in Phuket. Woefully unprepared, looking for a guide to show me the ropes. Thanks in advance!

Midnight or later.

If it was quiet, were the girls still there?

The best bar is at the very back, Pleasure Dome.

Freelancers mainly start to come in after 10 pm.

If you want to know more, please send me a PM.

Not many of them.

However was there again yesterday (Sunday), arrived again around 9 PM. Was a bit slow, not many visitors but quite a lot of girls. After 10 PM it started picking up, more guests and more girls. And as you say the freelancers started to arrive. Could not see any big difference in quality between the bars, though in the first bar in the complex there was a lot of older women. Didn't talk to them but my guess is they are FL.

The bars closed down 12 PM.

[ThaiGoodTimes]

Got it thanks. If I understand correctly you are saying to avoid it only for the sake of not catching it. Any other reason? I am not worried at all to catch it or test positive. Have been travelling nonstop and never tested positive and I'm double vaccinated. Or are you saying the girls are also kindly to avoid the area as they are worried of catching COVID?

Just avoid for the covid risk side.

If you're not concerned about that then, Bangla is humming very nicely.

The girls aren't avoiding there as the big spending tourists are there, and they're like sharks on a feeding frenzy. LOL.

One thing I've noted about the girls tho is an uptick on their social media platforms.

It's not just food, drink and bar places being visited like before, now they are showing each other their covid rapid test results.

Because Bangla, and quite a number of the bars along it, have been identified as the source of a covid uptick in Phuket.

Over the week leading up to my comment, some 30 cases, and 10 bars had been identified.

There goes the Christmas plans!

For short term visitors, aka tourists, not a great situation to find yourself in if you catch it there.

And now personally.

I'm at home isolating, waiting out the covid incubation period to have another covid test done.

My first test was negative when done after two days, so now waiting to retest on day five.

A diving tourist customer of mine, has tested positive, a week after arriving, so they most likely caught it here.

And it seems they were frequenting Bangla right after arrival..

Hi guys,

I've been Thailand a few times but this will be my first time in Phuket.

I know bangala road is the most popular for girls.

But what are some other spots that you guys think is good? So far I've read nanai road, rawai plaza?

Is there more?

Also the Patong bay hill resort has a nightclub called kingkong?

[ThaiGoodTimes]

Just arrived to Rawai from Patong. Took a stroll from beach road up towards Laguna Plaza. There is a couple of bars with some girls on the right side on the way up.

Landed in Laguna plaza around 9 PM and it seemed very slow to me, only a few girls and a lot more guys. Not know if it was to early in the evening. Didn't matter to me as it will be an early evening, hope it will be better tomorrow. Anyone know what time the bars in Laguna closing?

[TourduMonde]

The words you are looking for are "joiner fee". Just email the hotel and ask if you book a double room do they charge an additional joiner fee. They all know what this means.

I second this. It's amazing how many people write questions on booking.com and google (and presumably also by email) in monger slang like "girl-friendly" or "guest-friendly" and get back nonsensical responses like "Yes sir, our staff are very friendly to guests" or "We warmly welcome both male and female guests."

Why do you say Bangla is a hotspot to avoid?

Not trying to speak for ThaiGoodTimes here, just my take.

The locals, especially the business owners, are hyper Covid aware. There's been a lot of talk in the Thai media about outbreaks / hotspots in Bangla venues and the locals, at least here in Kata, are all a twitter about it. The boys in brown are putting the hairy eyeball on things there too. I've tried to find the same reporting in English but had no luck. In any case I read "hotspot" to mean Covid hotspot not hooker hotspot. Interpret that as you wish.
