Shibuya

Won’t be long before all the restaurants are closed in Pattaya. Police are already doing the rounds and closing places at random. there is one beer bar near to me that is operating almost completely in plain sight, they aren’t even pretending to serve food

Incredible the amount of “restaurants” that have sprung up in the last few hours i swear they weren’t serving food 3 hours ago

Gym says it’s closing tonight. Massage parlours closed as of a few days ago ”restaurants” all still open

That would be 19th, then. i think is more of a case that the police haven’t made the rounds yet to tell people to close

Bars are still open this afternoon, I guess they are claiming that are restaurants?

But quieter tonight in Pattaya, feels like there has been some kind of change in the last few hours Noticed a few bars and restaurants didn’t open up today

I went for a dump in Pattaya City hospital this morning (emergency measure due to oysters last night) I was surprised how quiet it was. You would never know there was a pandemic going on

Pattaya is quiet, but not dead by any means. Windmill was packed last night as was Billabong

Are there no hidden geniuses in some back room in a small pub (like the old Belgian Dog) cranking out strangely good burgers? I don’t half feel nostalgic for bars like Big Mango this week

Are those holdouts on QP Plaza still there?

Thanks Stick

Went down soi 7 tonight, perfectly fine bar area that hopefully will grow into something. Lacking character, but that might come Noticed there was a couple of bars still clinging on in QP, don’t know how long that will last.

Walked past where Big Mango used to be tonight and got me in the mood for a burger. Where,s good now? Really miss bars like BM

Central Park is twice as nice, but twice the price. Id look to stay there again due to the big rooms and the jacuzzi.

Spent the last week in Angeles 1st 4 night at Central Park Tower andantes 2 at orchid inn. both were very good, pure mongers places. Walking street seemed quiet and everyone said it’s low season. But the girls were extremely accommodating and I liked the 24 hours nature of the clubs and bars. only downside is that I think one of my companions has given me a water infection and you can’t get amoxy without a prescription here.

If leaving the E.U. was hard enough, imagine how hard Scotland leaving the UK would be Customs Union, Hard Border etc? People have learned absolutely nothing

Has anyone tried these Argentinian steak houses that area around? eye watering prices, is it worth it?

I just do not know what’s going off out there.

That was a great bar area about 10 years ago. The food court and the pool bars were good fun. glad to see something like that is coming back

Is this where the food court and New Wave was? the Bangkok bar scene is an absolute joke now. All these identikit boiler room bars are awful. id give my right bollock for Soi Zero or Sukhumvit 1 Plaza to reopen.

Oh dear, I was a fan of the Whistle ive been breakfasting at the Sportsman on Soi 13 when in Pattaya, good food but it’s a bit crap at night.

Did there used to be a Greek restaurant on Patpong 2? i have vague memories of eating some excellent Souvlaki down there once

Actually there is one. It used to be Check Inn 99 but has changed its name looks about as inviting as a prostate exam. up and down the street there isnt a single one. I think the last one to go was that Ozzie bar half way down

There isn’t a single bar on Soi 33 now. Every single bar on Nana looks the same. Patpong closed at 2am Queens Park Plaza closing in 5 weeks time whats going off out there?
