No such luck. They were fined 4000 baht each. Less than the cost of a nights good drinking!!

Ah so someone had dumped a Boeing 747 close behind this suspected public toilet somewhere near Siam @ Siam in downtown Pattaya... Nothing in Thailand surprises me any more.... However, I wonder what made you spot that fuselage just behind the urinal wall? We’re you using said Privy, or were you cruising, or are you just a closeted plane spotter?!

The Ladyboys probably came to Pattaya some years ago as real boys before “transforming”. That being the case they are probably scared stiff to return to their villages armed with a huge pair of tits and possibly no cock! I went to the Kitten Club before it closed (probably 3 or 4 years ago). An entirely forgettable experience...you didn’t miss much!

It’s a public urinal. Now that would be unusual for Thailand!

There is one in Pattaya! https://www.siamatsiam.com/pattaya/home/?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIrNnaod637gIVhb2WCh3zAwvtEAAYAiAAEgJAhPD_BwE

The canopy appears to be attached to the steering? The left hand steering does not appear to be connected? No brakes? Only one pedal on each side? Different size front wheels?

Try this: Select “Activity”.....then in that little tiny hidden icon at the bottom of the page select “Search”. . Make sure that when you select Search you leave all the options for “other, date and now” deselected. It will then show you the ones currently logged in with a green dot and for those not logged in it gives the time last logged on in the top left corner of the profile. I get the feeling that many of the boys have returned to their farms and there are far less available on the apps at the moment. It stands to reason that if large numbers is hospitality workers have left Pattaya then a large number of boys will have gone too. I did a count up and of my “favourites” on the apps I calculate 70% have gone home. That’s probably why you are seeing so many who have not logged on for month or two. And they a have forgotten to delete their profiles. Maybe that’s also why ladyboys appear more prevelant?

I am now coming to the conclusion that Thai regulations are similar to market prices. You go to a market to buy something and there is no price on any of the goods. You make an offer, there is a counter offer, and another, and so it continues. Haggling. After all this Covid nonsense I’m sure the same applies...it being Thailand. One office invents a rule...it’s haggled by another..and another..and so it goes on. Eventually it reaches the Big Boss who makes a decision, overruling all the Hagglers. Numerous examples now exist: All restaurants closed New Years Eve.... All restaurants closed, except takeaway...nobody allowed in from the UK...All visa renewals require a covid test...and so it goes on. Each one overruled. Just wait until the Official Announcement. TiT.

Other ones I have known over the years...Topman, All boys (Soi Yensabai), Look (Soi 17) Kaos, Sundance and another upstairs next to Forest House (TomYum?).

While we are at it ..what’s Agogo?

I went there last night (26 December). Should have been the height of the high season in normal times. I was the only customer and the “show” consisted of one bored boy at a time on the stage. I drank up and left.

Get out of your chair, move towards the kerb and take pictures of them. They get REALLY embarrassed!

Won’t give me a quote as a future tourist. Even though it is one of their options! All It says is i am not allowed to travel. I know that! Not much help

I know this guy Chin too. Always very off hand and just ignores most of the customers. One night I was with some of his friends from his Sunnee bar (Diamond) and we bumped into him in Marine Disco in Walking Street. I bought him a drink and didn’t even get a thank you. I was just totally blanked. Really strange. A few years Previously I was thinking of an off with him but just couldn't break the ice. That, and his awful smoking habit, finished matters. Just as well! amazing how first impressions are always right. A lot of the problems discussed above I put down to the Thai trait which I call “Cling on”. Some guys just don’t get the message that you do not want to off them again and just won’t leave it alone. I could name a few ”Cling Ons” in Sunee!

So little mask wearing despite all the horrific warnings and the commentator implies the midnight closing is ignored too. hopefully it won’t be long before all is back to normal...and they let us back. TiT!

600 In quarantine for one case. At that rate how many cases would you need before the whole country is in quarantine? and where are you going to quarantine all these people? As someone else said Thailand has lost the plot.

We are starting to see demonstrations around the world against all these Covid restrictions and they will only get more vocal. Thailand included. In years to come it will be seen as the worlds worst own goal. The Media is the Virus.

Sounds to me like a scheme to get the Chinese in...NOT for me!

With no cases in the last month, what are you going to catch?

That will be the killer for Western tourists. Imagine the USA and the UK being on any “approved list”. And who is going to be able obtain the medical certificates? In the UK all doctor surgeries and hospitals are effectively closed to anything but life threatening problems. As for covid insurance...forget it!

Have you ever thought that the world is far too complex nowadays to be run by humans? It did ok for billions of years before we arrived to ruin it.

It’s not Silom, Patpong, Boyztown, Jomtien, or Sunee. Its Thai Immigration which is going to be the problem. No doubt they will view all Farangs with a great amount of suspicion and invent all sorts of “suitable entry requirements” . Lord knows what they could invent but you can rest assured they will see these restrictions as preventing a recurrence of Covid 19. Whilst the reopening and restocking of the bars may be a simple matter, getting back into the country again may become an insurmountable problem for some. And would you be willing to sit in a 400 seater aeroplane for 12 hours so shortly after this epidemic? Its going to be a very very long haul.

How are expat farangs going to return to their homes in Thailand?

That’s why I said Pattaya!
