October 18, 20241 yr Left condo at 8:45 and headed to Silom vis Soi Thaniya which was wholly free of ladies of the evening. Once we arrived on Silom rd., foot traffic was moderate. Took a quick circuit through DonDon Donki which was pretty much clogged with tourists, the first indication of what businesses were benefiting from the alcohol sales ban. Soi 4. Was just about dark. G’s open but can’t go there unless I can have beer with meal so we agreed on Sunrise Taco and customary Sante Fe chicken salad. After did a tour around Patpong rectangle. All the masseurs from Oliviva’s were occupied within. The Silom end of PP 1 was packed with tourists although it thinned out heading to Surawong where others massage shops doing brisk business, benefiting from the sober throngs. Cannabis dispensers also well attended. PO 2 deserted save for Foodland and a pharmacy. As Vinapu and others agree,, if you plan ahead you survive nights like this just fine. Even if you didn’t, you can still make the best of it by patronizing the always welcoming massage shops. Even the gods of nocturnal flesh chasers smiled upon their minions, holding off a torrential down pour until about 1 a.m.

Just saying. Get 2km from the beach in Pattaya/Jomtien, these are just normal days. Drink and eat what you want.
