Pattaya Reports

[Mr Enternational]

If you were in Pattaya, you would be shocked at the number of empty bars.

Shocked why? Everybody knows there is a glut of bars, massage shops, weed shops, tattoo shops, etcetera here. The only thing that shocks me is that people keep throwing their money away on that bullshit. Grand opening; grand closing.

Pattaya has been 3 months away from a meltdown for 50 years.

One quirk: Soi 6 will be okay, due to its dependence on Korean whales. That's a long term problem, not a 3 month killer.

Meh. I've been going to Pattaya for 16 years, they've changed the visa policies countless times and will change it right back when they don't like the annual tourist numbers.

It won't stop the riff raff from coming or applying for 30 day extensions unless you also stopped all those direct flights and made it more expensive for them to come. Hell India had 2.4 million tourists in Thailand last year, they'll still be there.

Yes but it's better to let the riff raff know somehow they're not welcome. If you read the article, it's even stated Thailand economy depends on tourism, so they can't go hard on it either,. They wouldn't have to change rules all the time if westerners behaved like they ask in their home countries, so adding that layer of annoyance for them is better than nothing. You can still lie that you practice muay Thai and get your extension indeed.

I give Pattaya 3 more months before the meltdown happens. Too many bars, and too many massage shops for a tiny number of customers. By the end of August, tons of bars will be for sale or closed. Of course, landlords will increase rent to make up the difference.

In the meantime, Pattaya will be a mongering paradise, with so many broke ladies.

It's always the case, but moreso now, that the ladies are divided into 2 groups, those with foreign sponsors, and those without. Sponsored ladies can throw money around and be picky about customers.

When ladies come to my condo, they always talk about how crazy sponsors are. The lonely guys who insist on talking for an hour every day, and check their location constantly.

20 years ago I saw exactly the same post as this I seem to recall.

Drinks, should be no surprise whatsoever! Whether it is Soi,6,7,8. Or pothole these owners farangs are all interlink in some manner shape and form, High rollers was doing this years back reason I stopped going only went because the manager and mamasan were from Bacarra pre-covid.

At times it is about more money than brains. Reason the market is so bad, but let the strongest survive and then?

Sounds like she didn't want to fuck you, unless she was a straight 10.

On the contrary, she was ready to go, but I had another lady scheduled later that night. I came to the bar with the intention of buying her some drinks.

[Karikamiya]

A lady at a bar on Soi Chaiyapoon told me there is a requirement to buy 4 ladydrinks before she can be barfined.

To me Soi 6 works because you are interested in the girl you see on the street or in the bar. Make sure before you step into the bar that you ask the girl if they Bar Fine or do short time in the bar. That way you don't waste money on Lady Drinks for her. Also, you can just walk into a bar and order a drink for yourself and chill without buying a Lady Drink for any of the girls.

No, is your power! The ability to get up and go to another bar in Soi 6 is your super power.

Just going to leave it here. The 60 days Free visa has been reduced to 30 days and its automatic renewal canceled. You now need to justify why you want to stay longer. Thailand finally did what needed to be done, and I'm all for it. Always rooting for the countries that want to protect their legacies and image. I myself Called out the attitude and behavior of western foreigners overseas on this forum and based off what I saw when I go there,. LOL. Now governments are reacting.

Lets go Thailand, lets go Colombia,. Next stop Parque Lleras- Medellin. #All money ain't good money#.

Pattaya is pretty dead right now, there just aren't any customers. Last night, I spent 2 hours as the only customer in a bar. Walking around, I see lots of empty bars. There are still a handful of high traffic areas that have customers, but once you get to the second tier areas, its quiet. I don't have the time to go with all the ladies who are looking for customers.

My experiences in Pattaya (right now; current, real time) mirror the situation that Explorer8939 has described.

My regular girls that work in different venues (Soi 6, Naughty Massage, Gentleman's Club) all report dramatically decreased business. The clubs are still jumping still!

[SubCmdr]

Is Pattaya different in that respect? When there are fewer or no customers around are hot girls still showing up for work and offering Real Sex at deep discounts to the precious few customers in town?

For me Pattaya is different. Low Season is much better.. Online (the prices are better) and I don't detect a change in service. Now in the venues, they don't lower prices. If girls go home it does not affect me. I can only fuck one or two a day and there are thousands available. In my opinion, the ones that remain during low season need the business and it shows!

I cannot speak for Bangkok!

It should be noted that I don't write about bad experiences because I have rarely had them (one stole from me - a tube of expensive toothpaste and two no shows). My experiences are current and I don't live in the glory days

Never been rushed or up charged in Pattaya!
