The real lowdown on Pattaya imo -- I'm literally there rn
Hi there,
Thought I'd give a lowdown on Pattaya right now because I'm literally right there right now and I'm shipping back to Bangkok.
I literally created this account now because I feel like there's a lot of information I disagree with. Ok so here goes.
All the massage parlors, ie Honey, Saibadee, are all closed. I think people already knew this but wanted to clarify.
All gogos are all closed.
I just want to mention that my tastes are very different and I prefer the girls that are more Japanese looking. So my favorite joint has always been Baccara etc. I also liked Palace (god it's so sad it's gone), Panda, Pinup -and occasionally Sensations. Sensations kind of is a honey trap because they throw a crap ton of people there.
But yip, if you like the Baccara look. Tree Town is no good.
I scoured the f-ing place.
Treetown IMHO is just like a lesser version of Soi 6 (back when Soi 6 was good). Basically the girls there aren't my type.
There's a joke among Thais but basically the Farangs like taller, darker, wide nosed, tattooed, skinny look and the Japanese like the more Thai Penthouse girl look.
On a side note, the strange thing was that the type I like was available -- but only at Tantra. But get this, you can't barfine them. They just only want you to buy drinks but you can't take them out. But there were more my type there.
A good portion of the 7 Elevens in Walking Street were shut down. Simons is shut down.
Dude I literally have to mention this but Tree Town had like almost no pretty girls. I feel like all the pretty ones just flat-out jumped ship and decided to get the hell out of there. I was seriously disappointed. Even during the golden years of Soi 6, I'd walk down the aisle and eventually spot like 1 or 2 that were cute. But this place, Tree Town, wasn't my bag. If you're looking for more that Thai Penthouse look, it ain't in Pattaya. I'm literally dropping ship to Bangkok because at least you can see former peeps from Baccara lounging in chairs there. Honestly most of 'those' types of girls aren't going to be sitting out in the hot humid weather. They never did before and they won't now. Those are only the bar girls and the 'other type' which I never really was a fan of. Again, not saying it's no good. I'm just saying, Tree Town is basically all that type -- which I never really cared for.
Team Player and Dunkirk Spirit
[QUOTE=HorseTrader;2640241]Thanks for that link. I seems that British Airways has known this for several days, but they still haven't notified me that my existing flight schedule is cancelled.
I guess it's time for me to restart work to find flights and then redo test and go hotel, other hotels, insurance, and Thailand pass. Im back at square one.[/QUOTE]As your post interested me.

I checked BA's website as a tram player.
It tells me there are no direct flight and that they will try to reroute me via Qatar Airways / Doha. No doubt this will be suggested to you. It has happened to me on far too many occasions recently flying around Europe, where airlines are just keeping the main arteries open and then at reduced volume. If they are not packing in the punters (ha ha), they are in deep doo doo.
And.
(1) I looked up main and most profitable lines to wonder what happened to your Dunkirk Spirit.

Though long haul is the place to be, not all long hauls are currently sustainable. BKK ISO ne of those hauls. I am just surprised BA did not work out an alternative hub and spokes eg fly everyone bound for SE Asia into Singapore and then work it from there. Airline companies are being kept afloat by massive government loans and something will have to give. There have been far too few gravity defying failures of late.
