That,d Raya s new facade

As I said in another thread, politicians are full of BS over covid worldwide and that is scary.

Welcome to Thailand, home of smiling , smooth and handsome

Peter, Your supposition is correct. I'm neither coronasceptic nor covid denier but omnipotence of governments went too far over this and I suspect we will regret our complacency one day. when I pounded Pattaya,s pavements passing along literally hundreds of boarded up businesses and grand hotels closed down I couldn't escape thoughts that we are starving and ruining lives of millions to save life of dozens. When funeral directors are complaining about bad business in pandemic it is telling story.

Another BS from scared politicians IMNSHO

Calling me " distinguished board member", gee, thank you . I don,t hear this often , lol

From passing by many times nothing at Madrid door would be suggesting permanent closure so hope is there. I,m monitoring situation closely

Last night show at Boyztown well attended. From few interlocutor, both Mamasans and boys, I heard that now bars in the soi are co-operating to bring soi back to life. For now shows are in the open in the soi. Prices of drinks went down. Last night charges at BBB: Beer 90, non alcoholic 70, boy drink 200( quite a hunk from southern Thailand), off fee 500 from previous night, did not off the hunk due to other plans. Sunee last night almost dead, Winners padlocked, 2 lesser bars, open but almost no clients. Nice Boys - enticed by a word from member who had fun a night before, other member and me visited full of hope but IT WAS NOT A, SUCCESSFUL visit. Basically both staff and boys decided to have fun themselves and it was, almost impossible to get an eye contact with any of boys, not to mention that out of 8 or 10 present at best 3 presented themselves on the stage, usually only to watch goings on their smartphones. Even exrtrecting a bill required loud scream ,, can we get a bill please,, Drink 200, not we'll spent money let me tell you. Hope they improve, if not Sunee will be of the books quite soon with pandemic and that level of service. Jomtien Complex dead for the night due to new police chief visit but expected to be opened tonight. Massages, were, allowed to open but only Thai employees were allowed to work so my guy, Cambodian and hs friends had day off forced on them. Rollercoaster indeed.

That's relative peanuts if it,s free

As reported elsewhere week after my first stay there Pattaya seems to be picking up slowly but surely. Both Boyztown and Walking Street were immensed in darkness 10 days ago but not they are lit. Just walked aptly named Walking Street, at least overhead lights are there and few bars pretending to be restaurants are open. No loud , in fact no music at all, few wanderers but at least it's something. About Boyztown I reported already , will check again tonight. Booking an emergency room through Agoda I noticed interesting fact. In quite a few cases in Pattaya hotels not available on the website we're still available on the Agoda's app. Also in case if few properties along Beach Road and possibly elsewhere as well prices were slightly different ( 100 - 300 ) baht. I did not detect particular pattern, some were cheaper on website, some on app. Bottom line - if you can, check both.

Another lunacy introduced by panicky politicians not knowing what to do. Nothing particular about Thailand as that is worldwide phenomen I suspect the suspension will be reversed before Christmas , yes this 2021 Christmas.

It, s one of those zillion covid rules introduced wotldwide but not followed up

Yesterday along with distinguished member we visited Boyztown between 8-9. Earlier , around 5 while passing by I took some pictures attached. What a change to a week ago when it was dead dead. Red carpets on the soi, Copa , Castro , New bear between Castro and Serene,( name escaped me), Serene, Panorama and BBB opened! Number of customers not overwhelming but perhaps 2 dozen scattered in the seats. It was still early. BBB mamasan told me the show will be on the street. Several boys attending , almost all new faces but few veterans including one who remembered not only me but also that I liked his massages. Will visit again today . earlier rather long stroll from Boyztown along Bitch Road ( spelling ? )all the way to Terminal 21 proved the same observation. Compare to week ago city is much busier, more venues opened and sidewalks are more crowded BOYZTOWN AT 5 pm yesterday Week ago it was dead as I said.

Hope if they do after I leave if at all

Not quite but at times I have feeling that is not much competition of buyers of their charms.

I visited Jupiter and Hot Male last night. Soi 4 busy, not overwhelmingly but busy. Entered Jupiter just before 9 , on time for 7 boys on duty to start their parade through the stage and audience which was about the same layer on swelling to perhaps 12-15. Smiling boy from week ago was gone or at least his smile was so boys sporting their usual sober look. Drink 150-180. After that they disappeared to their seats so interested party would have bit hard time to assess what's on offer. I find this model strange but that,s me. It seems that they repeat that routine every 30 minutes because the same happened at 9.30, this time with more boys including 1 or 2 traces of smile. Then again into shadows and of course smartphones. I used audiencecpartvof parade to force red note into palm of one of guys I liked look the most.THEN I got a smile indeed. At 10.00 Proper show, nothing unusuL there some more flesh and as always there , no nudity. About 10.15 I moved myself to Hot Male. 5 people inside, 4 of them half my age. Moonlight models Nicky , Tum, Smart, Bee and Tae on the stage, leaving after that without takers, Bee did not leave but joined about 8 bar boys on the stage. All fully clad but mostly cute and/ or handsome. Again one got 100 from me, I got the smile and young farang in the audience had flow of oxygen to his head improved seeing that as he called over that guy almost Immediately. We weren't in competition as I was in reporting mood only. it looks that poor cousin to more glorified other models Bee got lucky again called over by group of young Asians. so there,s some life with more to come we all hope

63 cases in nation of 70 million seems not excessively alarming at all. I think world enters phase of idiocy over this. And no, I, m not Corona sceptic nor covid denier, fully vaxed etc. I'm afraid that at one point impatient nations will elect really dangerous leader who will promise to end this lunacy. And THAT would be truly disastrous outcome of whole pandemic.

By the way, looks that renovation at Raya is almost completed so it may not be an issue at all. Passed by this morning but did not have a phone on me so didn't take a pics. Bubble wrap facade is no more

Stop bothering them, they are working after all, lol

Patpong 1, few days ago immensed in darkness is, showing signs of return to life. Last night three neons lit at 10 pm and of course at both ends touts returned whispering,, do you want a lady? ""

BBB open! That's good news. What a change one week made!

Unfortunately and fortunately lack of tourists is visible and no doubt painfully felt financially. Visited MahaNakhon last afternoon, nice Sunday weather wise, chilling wind gently blowing and still around 4 pm they were moments with not a single person on the famed glass. Unthinkable on such day before restrictions. Patrons at Jupiter can be counted on both hands, at Hot Male, one would do at 10.30 On another hand dream of some about empty sidewalks of Silom at night come to even too successful realization. On third hand, is not that bad to have city to oneself in time which should be busiest of the year.

No doubt, you are much taller

It is and their baguettes are excellent. Breakfasted there twice and hope for more. As for quality of coffee don't ask me as my favorites are 3 in 1 types, specially Thai own Khao Shong brand so you get the picture. I understand coffee lovers pains of finding good one though since I'm the same when comes to a tea.
