No more customers > no more girls > no more rents > no more shops > no more people = Pattaya's death at the end of the road.
Pattaya is emptying.[/QUOTE][QUOTE=DannyDuck;2450574]Methinks c19 may have been the KO blow to Thailand in general.
Pre c19 I was in Pattaya December 2019. I recall seeing vacant business space all over in the main central area. Saw a you tube video today its even worse now.
Same goes for BKK. So many big operators have left the scene. Weeknights the Rainbows were having a real hard time.
We all agree that the famed Los nightlife has gone downhill the last 5 or so years. No freaking way it comes back.
What say you.[/QUOTE][QUOTE=PedroMorales;2450453]Thank you both. Very helpful. Goodbye Pattaya and thanks for the memories.[/QUOTE]This guy is not and looking at the world through rose colored glasses.
[QUOTE=YyzTravel;2450699]People are being wayyy overly doomsday-ish here. Sorry, but even though I have never been to Pattaya yet, I do know one thing. Follow the money. The world is not great right now, but it won't be forever. Bro, even in The Walking Dead with actual fucking zombies they had brothels, etc. Girls may be going home for now, but when countries start to open up, money comes back, it will come back like crazy. I'm going to be balls deep 8 hours a day, mask or not. Like the first good weather day of spring, girls are going to come back and it's going to be open season.[/QUOTE]Nobody on this board says P4 P is dead or sex for money is dead. But what Pattaya represents and if you have ever stepped onto Walking Street or anywhere in Pattaya, you would know what they are talking about. No other city compares to Pattaya, not Bangkok, not Angeles, not Jakarta. Last night, Mr. E, XXL, and I met up at Tree Town and our thoughts about this town was pretty much in line. We are on the ground and see the dismal despair and hopelessness. Daily long lines stretching blocks of people begging for food. Even as restrictions are lifted, most businesses stay closed in Pattaya. Where are the workers, customers, no air conditioning in the mall? Pattaya is not Bangkok or even scenic like Phuket. It survives off sex, bars, partying, and alcohol. The Health Minister knows alcohol masks body temperature. Drinking it vasodilates your blood vessels, which lowers that core temperature which can hide a low grade fever. All they have is these electronic thermometers and hand sanitizers as weapons to protect themselves to screen for symptoms. Many of these symptoms of Coronavirus is similar to being drunk besides the fever. Hence, the alcohol band in Thailand and not in other countries. Of course, they don't tell the public this. So how in the world is Pattaya ever supposed to bounce back by not being able to serve alcohol, social distancing inside a club (especially a tiny one like Palace which packs in customers for higher revenue), with every one wearing masks while trying to find the better looking girls or customers? If you know of a solution, let me know? I have an MBA in Global Business and an MHA with a minor in Epidemiology and I can't figure out any solution besides one. And that's God.
You realize that this is not a Thailand problem but a world wide problem that's going on, and a huge one at that. This is not a natural disaster like tsunami where you rebuild. Live during the Black Plague or Great Depression, and you might understand the magnitude of what's going on in the world. We are just a few months in. There has never been a vaccine for any Coronavirus (yes this is NOT the first). And Ebola, which is much deadlier, took 5 years for a vaccine, was on fast track. It's nice to be optimistic, but at least offer some rationale on your thinking or you just sound silly. It's like some of the Jews in the concentration camps just hoping for the best and turning a blind eye to the reality, all the way to their end in the giant chemical ovens. Fight back and stop living like sheep. When this started they told me not to travel. I went against it all and did my own thing because I have this thing called a brain and a mind. I trust in my own guidance over anything else out there.
You are witnessing the worse economic crisis since Great Depression. Look at the USA model and what's going on in that country when it comes to personal liberty versus public safety. It's dividing that country and now imagine that model for the entire world. People blaming others for getting sick and people fighting each other for freedom. There will be a divide, confusion, combined with a poor health system in a 3rd country is a recipe for disaster. USA is failing, while China is looming in the background, ready to take over as the #1 spot. Pay careful attention to what happens with the tension and economic warfare between these two. It WILL affect the entire world. What happens to those who align with China and embrace them (well you see what happened with the trade and import sanction imposed on Thailand by the USA recently) ? We have this global crisis pandemic like you never seen before in modern history because the economic crisis is linked a public health crisis that has always existed. COVID-19 just exposed all the flaws related to co morbidities, sanitation, and pollution. If it makes you cough or sneeze, it needs to be eliminated because asymptomatic people can spread the disease. If you want to build herd immunity or self immunity, then focus on preventing the co morbidities (cancer, cardiovascular, stroke). Which means yep. Big business like tobacco, oil companies, fast food and so on and so on. The longer this plays out, then here comes a depression with businesses failing and bail outs. But bail outs is just debt spending by countries which results in more printed paper money from a machine backed up by nothing but increase future work and inflation for the middle and lower class. Good luck traveling for mongering with inflated prices and more restrictions. Give this some thought from all perspectives and place yourself in everybody's shoes. You will understand how dismal and bleak it looks.
So yes, it does matter the price of tea in China, just like it matters what went on in Wuhan even though you lives thousands of miles away. So stop thinking on a micro (all about me) level and try a macro (the entire world) level. You only have one world unless you closed up all borders and international travel from here on out and forever. So what happens in one part of the world, can affect the entire world. Am I lying about any of this? Do your research and let me know. I'll stick to my final answer as a solution. God.
P.S. : By the way, leading up to my #333 post (Google the meaning of this number), I did give you guys fair warning and called it a FINAL COUNTDOWN. I even gave the heads up to some of you and told you to spend the last year traveling and enjoying. Feel free to go back to verify and my favorite color is still "blue. " Also, isn't strange that Thailand is 66th ranked when it come to COVID-19 with 66 country code while HR Bill 6666 about Coronavirus is being debated?
Not even close to Nevada prices
[QUOTE=Cool;2450737]If Soi 6 goes up to $100ST and top gogo's $200 in 5 years a lot of guys won't come. They would be closing in on Western / Vegas prices.[/QUOTE][QUOTE=BananaBoi;2450783]Not even close to Vegas pricing. I used to live there. Last proposition I had from a stripper there was if I got $700 USD in lap dances she would go to the disco at Hard Rock Cafe with me. This didn't even include sex! She was from Kentucky and an easy 9. 9. This was around 2010. Made me re-evaluate why I hobbied in Las Vegas so I started going to FKK clubs.[/QUOTE]My last trip to Western Nevada was about 10 years ago. Made the rounds of about 4 of the desert brothels. Lineups ranged from 2 to 8 girls and none looked good. I negotiated with 1 girl in each brothel, as best I can remember the prices were about $200 for half and half (covered blow job followed by covered sex). Similar quality girls on Beach Road might be 10% of the cost in Nevada (700 baht).

An Ode to Fasai. The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly.
[QUOTE=PedroMorales;2450453]Thank you both. Very helpful. Goodbye Pattaya and thanks for the memories.[/QUOTE]I feel you. Since, I don't see the Go Go bars opening with the same thump as before. It was sad to see the #1 club with only 15 of their worse girls and 4 customers back in March. So, I want to say a public goodbye to my favorite girl at Palace.
The Good: When I first met her, I dug her looks. I thought she was pretty hot. Body was tight. Face was pretty. Skin was white. She was my number 1 girl on Walking Street when it came to number of barfines and money spent on a girl over the years.
The Bad: Over time, she changed her look to please another class of customers. However, when I showed up, she would still go with me and not them. However, I just really wasn't fond of the change, felt like I was being punished. Body was still hot, but face errr not so much. Didn't like her new look. And I finally swapped her out for another model this past Christmas.
The Ugly: Then one day she sent me a pics of her au natural. That pretty much ended it all. Nice reminder to why I don't do long time or get into relationships or want to see girls outside of the Go Go bars. I need them dolled up and looking their best for me at all times. Monkeypaw is spoiled like that.
You can decide yourself on which exact pics are the Good, Bad, and Ugly since our tastes may vary.
