Pattaya Reports

[QUOTE=Bdonkadonk;2434489]I heard from two persons today that there is a risk of bars will be forced to close for some time. So I had to search for the news about it and it does seem like bars etc can close. Tomorrow there will be a government meeting where it will be discussed. I certainly hope this will not happen.

Who owns a pad in Bangkok one can see at night, in particular, the downslide in people. After light dinner, we headed to our favorite Bacarra although a bunch of new popular Asian clubs I still like the place been a regular since the day they open due to circumstances I've not visited for some time my cousin promised his former regular since she decided to return to the village due to the lack of customer.

In the past, even on slow times, Bacarra was still wall to wall customers when we walked in there was like 6 customers although still early I could see the number of girls working was cut in half upstairs was now closed. After talking to the manager and head mamasan the salary has been reduced and the shows which pay extra to showgirls has been eliminated.

Although lacking in customers across from us and on the left side was a small young group of Japanese they kept all the girls hopping around for ping pongs it was like a contest between the two groups both I surmise spent easily 10,000 baht on basket one guy got up and threw out a stack of 1000 baht notes one girl who works as a hostess considers me like an older brother came over to say Hello, and gave me the load down.

It has been a while since I could sit and get a full view of all the girls my cousin who is considered a whale was picking up the tab so while the other two groups were tossing money he was buying drinks for his regular and all her friends I sat and got smiles from all the others girls wanting to get into the action. In the end, I knew where this was going while both continue to throw money our group grew larger than the money tosser because of my cousin, like to BF his regular and a bunch of her friends of choice to go eat and party at local Thai places and this is exactly what happens in the end. Although I had no plans to partake #133 her friend came along I did seem interested because she had a great smile and nice body and legs.

After a few hours of partying the group started to split up by now, I had made a great impression on #133 regardless of two kids and a Thai Boyfriend she was party girl tonight I guess since no Songkran this year so tonight was her night to let loose luckily even for an old guy and not really interested.

During the evening while eating the girls were discussing tomorrow they were told whether the clubs will be closing for at least for a month if so what were they going to do? Maybe why #133 was so interested in me and after last night if she performs in the future as she did last night I will be keeping her busy. What I see many clubs on Walking St. Were hurting before the Virus, I saw Infinity and Nui 2 was closed last night plus Heaven Above. With the ownership structure of many of the GoGo on LK metro unless the landlord makes a reduction I don't see many coming out of temporary closure.

Depending on the closure restrictions things might open up for Soi like 6, but I see Massage parlors and Gentlemen Clubs really benefitting the most plus the Freelance market should explore. I believe in the free market in time we might see a whole new market less venues? prices lower I don't know but it should be really interesting. While parking the Van last night behind Marine Seafood, I noticed many of the restaurants, massage places close on the far end of 2nd road with the high rents we will see who has the deep pockets to survive?

I don't see it getting any better it is tough enough getting a handle even for a country in the West like U.S. the government here has no clue they follow like Monkey's open their racist mouth. You got people screening you at Makro yet when you go into a major hospital like Bangkok Pattaya all they have done is put a fine piece of ass at the door putting a green sticker on your shirt! I ask recently on another forum if I suspect where does one goes to even get tested since no one wants to be around the person especially here in Pattaya the numbers will grow and will continue to grow. Going to a temple isn't going to solve the problem!

Really, I wanted to stop at #333, but couldn't help chime in when saw it was deemed necessary. Don't believe the hearsay about bar closures and just go see for yourself. Monkeypaw is alive and kicking and STILL "on the ground" in Thailand. Just spent a week in BKK, and Billboard in Nana is Monkeypaw's new #1 go go bar in Bangkok with the sheer number and quality of girls, especially after the renovations, new lighting, and that huge LED screen added near the naked tub. Yesterday, was able to talk down a girl from 2500ST to what was left in my wallet, not wanting to hit the ATM. She left with 1160 baht foe 2 hours on play. Not quite Mr. E bargain, but a bargain nonetheless.

Now. On my way to Pattaya to "party and play" with the girls. Nothing like getting high with girls during a threesome, while watching the world as we know it is end. I knew that eventually my USA passport would come in handy, when my Hong Kong one let me down. I'm one lucky dude! And the party continues, while the saga goes on.

Spent the weekend in Pattaya (first time) and didn't make it out of Soi 6. All the bars I saw were less than half full, if indeed they had Ny customers at all. Enough eye candy for anyone, sitting round looking disinterested. BF 400 and st 1000, services very negotiable. Girls I spoke to said several no BF for 4 days+ and only a drink or 2 if lucky. Some talked about going home, others were talking about travel to Korea and accepting 14 days without pay. I had a fabulous time there, but I felt leaving today is perfect timing to be getting out as covid case numbers are starting to climb after a long pause.

Well just back home after 4 days in Pattaya. Firstly, it is obvious that the Asian and Indian numbers are way down along with the European numbers. Did not see a lot of USA guys either. Walking Street was very quiet compared to my past trips.

Soi 6 had lost of girls but very low numbers of punters. Visited a number of bars and settled in Pussy Club Bar the most. There were some cute ones in Nature Bar and Roxy as well. Girls were all desperate for cash as the punters were low in numbers. Only bar that we had a hassle in was the gogo bar near beach road. Girls were not interested in our money for boom boom and only wanted drinks. We moved on once that became apparent. We did have fun in the other Soi 6 bars though and the girls were very eager to please. Also found Scooters bar in Soi 8 to be worth a visit.

The bars we visited on Walking Street were Sapphire (my favourite) and Happy which also had some doable girls. Both lacked punter numbers but that was a good thing for us. Both sets of the gogo girls were very hungry to get barfined. Took a few out to iBar and noticed it was still fairly busy with a lot of girls.

We also visited Kink in LK Metro but found the quality a little low. The freelance bar on the corner in LK Metro had a lot of low quality girls as well but we did not bother to stay long.

Over the course of the 4 days we barfined about 4 girls from the gogos and visited Soi 6 each day for a few rounds there as well. So all up, a very worthwhile trip and just in time to beat the inevitable shutdown that will come with Covid19.

Happy Hunting.

Me and my nephew were chillin on the 6 tonight. I was at the bar where a chick that I always see in 808 works. A man came up on a motorbike. A lot of the girls went for their bags and took out money and a yellow card. When the guy left I asked the chick who he was. He was a creditor. When the people drive up and down the soi selling things the girls can get it on credit. The guy comes around everyday to collect 60 baht until it is paid off. The chick I was with said that she had gotten a comforter set. 3900 baht is what she has to pay off.

Small, daily payments for over 2 months.

I like learning this sort of things. It makes me feel fortunate that I had the opportunities that were available to me for many decades.

I ask them where their nice watch or cell phone are and they say they had to use it as collateral to get money to pay for rent, etc. I don't recall if they had to pay back 100 baht per day or per week since, TBH, I don't listen when girls talk about their need for money. They usually have enough to pay off the loan when they get their contract money and the process begins again until they finish their next contract.

There are independent Gold sellers who run around local markets that sell Gold (legit) to those who feel they can pay must provide a I. The. Address to verify overall you pay a bit more for the piece but you are able to make weekly payment.

At this point I am just waiting to see if 1) My flight is cancelled. 2) Thai immigration will still let Americans into the country by the time I get there in late April. & 3) The bars & clubs remain open. I heard Mandarin (Nana) Go Go is closed. As Tom Petty once said, "the waiting is the hardest part."

Natty, apropos your second point.

"Now, Thailand has closed entertainment spots everywhere. " Other source in Pattaya Soi 6. Can someone confirm?

Personally I am in Paris I canceled my trip to Pattaya in emergency yesterday morning death in the soul because of the closing of the borders which was looming. FYI Walking Street in Angeles City has closed all bars and gogos since the day before yesterday.

It's war we're telling you.

Anyone thinking about arriving in Thailand in the near future should consider:

"The new measure requires all nationalities arriving in the kingdom to show a medical certificate, issued no more than three days prior to their arrival, have purchased an insurance plan for COVID-19 and giving consent to allow authorities to install a monitoring application on their smart phone."

It looks like there's a 14 day quarantine for some countries also.
