[QUOTE=EihTooms;2621421]As of tonight, Tuesday November 2nd, no bars inside Nana Plaza were open, only some of the beer bars out on Soi 4 were open. And they were all pretty much closed by 11pm tonight. Some earlier than that.[/QUOTE]I would guess that open bars are operating under a restaurant license, and serve food.
[QUOTE=Explorer8939;2621426]I would guess that open bars are operating under a restaurant license, and serve food.[/QUOTE]You're right. They all have display stands with food menus out front. I wouldn't be surprised if some go-go bars undergoing renovation will change their signage to something like "Butterflies Food, Drink and Go-Go Bar" to better prepare for the future.
Not really joking about that. I have seen it happening with beer bars over the past year.
So I've been in the UK for about five days.
Plotting my escape. Never really got to see any of Bangkok when I was in Thailand in July. Flights are cheap enough. I've got an exit stamp from The Gambia on the 29th of November, so under the '21 days in a green list country rule' the earliest I can fly is the 19th of this month. Need to be back in the UK the 3rd of December.
Is it worth it? Hmmm.

One of my fave locales because you go right to her flat and fuck in her bed. Check out London thread or HMU on message for tips and recommendations.

Maybe they will just put up a "grab food" sign on the bar as a means to order food with your beer.
I Posted the following in another section. I live in Bangkok, so it is pertaining mostly to BKK. Please note this is just my opinion, no one knows what will exactly happen.
For anyone else here it would be good to hear their views too.
As I did state below, unless you are in Thailand or have been here you really won't comprehend how devastated the tourist areas are. Thailand normally gets 40 million visitors a year. This year they have had maybe 100,000. So you can imagine how businessed that rely solely on international visitors have shut.
-repost from another section-.
There is no sign of life yet for the big soapies or gogos. I don't see them opening until early 2022.
I think everyone is waiting to see what happens in November as far as how many tourists come in. If there is no big spike in cases they will look to open up bars and entertainment places at a later stage.
You can see a little more activity from normal businesses in the tourist areas in anticipation of arrivals. However most business have been shut for 1 1/2 years and many completely gone. The ones that remain are hanging on by a thread so they are very cautious about spending money until they can see the demand arriving. Every time they open and then shut it costs money. Think burning cash 18 months. No cash is left. The first priority is to get normal activity going. Enterntainment and bars will be the last to open.
Having said all of this. There are many oilies open, albiet with a skeleton staff and are quite tragic at the moment. If tourist numbers start to increase these places will probably be the first to get going and to start building staff.
There are also a few bars that have called themselves restaurants in order to get going. These places are small and nothing like before, not worth coming for.
Unless you are here you would not comprehend the devastaion covid has brought to the tourist areas inlcuding all of lower Sukhumwit, Patpong and Khao san. The entertainment streets are completely shut, it is eerie to walk down them at night. Completely black. They have been like this for 6 months.
Even normal things are eerily quiet. You can get a seat on the BTS in rush hour. There are no tourists here at all.
Thailand is in a holding pattern. I would not jump on a plane right now and expect everything to jump back to normal in weeks. It is going to be a slow build and most people are in a wait and see mode. I think you would have to be very optimistic in wishing to see bars / gogos and soapies open in December, I would think this is maybe a 10% chances. Some time early next year would be a more realistic time scale.

I do not live in BKK but on a recent trip ,6 days, I would pretty much agree with this report. Especially with respect to the services. If there is a keeper at an open shop, she is probably only available by appointment. I had 4 sessions, 2 appointment 2 just going with my gut feeling at the moment. All not up to old standards. Even Doki Doki. They say the cure for high prices is high prices, people see money can be made so more is produced bring supplies up and prices down. But I find it hard to see poor service being the cure for poor service.
Guess the WW group is banned. Have the opened a new one?
My buddy on the ground in BKK as of Thursday November 4th.
There is more signs of life. There is a little bar above Thermae (the old restaurant to the left of the money exchange). I sat there for about an hour (8-9 pm) just now, sipping on Singha for 100 baht. Then started to feel nervous because I wasn't sure if they had the right papers to be serving alcohol or not. Next time I will just get a Coke and bring my own booze. While I was there, I did see about 5 groups of what looked like just arrived Asian tourists try to go down into Thermae, which was closed and has been for months. Apparently, they didn't get the memo and looked as if they were baffled. I've been in BKK now for a 40 days. My other reports on the street scene about how scary the girls and dismal the scenes were has changed for the better tonight. From Soi 11 to about the McDonald's at Robinsons, I counted about at least 80 or more girls (and LBs) out tonight. There is much more talent than what was out there before. Lifting of curfew, alcohol until 9, and November 1 probably has much to do with the change in numbers. A handful, I might take a chance with in the future. But those masks make it too damn hard to tell. Venture towards 7, after you pass 11, and it gets a bit more scary. I did not want to go look at Soi Nana. 1500 seems to be the asking price for most of the girls on the street, some will take 1000. Now at least there is something else to play with besides FiwFans which is about 1500 as well. So things are looking up. Not sure how much longer the 1500 price will last.
[QUOTE=RacShack;2622126]1500 seems to be the asking price for most of the girls on the street, some will take 1000... Not sure how much longer the 1500 price will last. [/QUOTE]Good report.
As of March 2021, all of the streetwalkers on Sukhumvit were taking a 1000 without much difficulty, with a few even proposing 500 in desperation. Of course, if you ask them the price rather than offer 1000 first, most will open with a higher one. Admittedly, that's a few months ago, but I doubt the prices would have gone up since then.
Decent prices will last as long as there are no substantial numbers of punters taking whatever price the girls ask.

But Phuket is not.
Many many many girls of great quality and good prices around.
For now, come to Thailand and go to Phuket.
Go to Bangkok later.

So he never walked down Soi 7, just scanned the options on Sukhumvit Road "towards" Soi 7 and did not walk down Soi Nana/Soi 4 either to see what was going on? After being here 40 days and that was last night. Seriously?
I mean, other than missing the 2-3 most happening, crowded, open and accessible scenes on lower Sukhumvit with the most eager, live and in-person doable party girls available, that was a fairly accurate report.
It's been going on for weeks and many of the better looking doable girls he might have seen in front of or near the closed Thermae or on Soi 11 usually stop by there nightly as well.

But the mind, for most, is supposed to stay strong or perhaps even more acute. Perhaps less time arguing with other about Politics? And more time posting in Bangkok? Or maybe it's a memory or disconnect thing.

Today I was told by one of my go-go girl favorites that some Nana Plaza go-go bars will re-open on November 16.
I have not heard anything about Soi Cowboy go-go bars or Patpong go-go bars specifically but I assume if they can re-open in Nana Plaza they can re-open anywhere in the city.
