Regarding mongering scene amidst coronavirus
Fellow mongers!
If anyone has been recently to Phuket please throw some light on the overall mongering scenario due to the ongoing virus scare.
1) are freelancers still working? Have their terms and conditions become more lenient?
2) are hotels creating any problems in getting freelancers to the room.
3) are people wearing masks in gogo bars and other related places?
Is the scene same as how it was before the corona scenario or has it lost its charm?
Beer bar off the beaten path
I stopped at a bar close to chalong pier. There were 5 women working at it an no customers on a Saturday night. A couple of the women were okay looking. I stayed there about 40 minutes and bought 1 beer. I tipped 1 woman 100 thb and another 20 thb. The air kind of stank, it had a stagnant bay type smell. I have no idea how these places can make money. 1 woman told me 300 for barfne and pay her whatever I wanted. She said she was 28 but she looked older and wasn't very attractive.
My guess, and it's just a guess, is that whoever owns the space rents it out for very cheap bc it's a bad location. The women stay there for free and get a bit of tips or occasional customer. But really are just barely getting by. They can't be saving any money. I bet they go some nights with no customers.
No real point to this just my random experience and thoughts.
Bangla Road is closed due to Coronavirus
The Thai government has closed the Patong Red light district, Bangla Road, according to this video I found on YouTube. I still see some girls looking for customers. It looks like our world won't be the same and I hope the re-open very soon.
