I guess it is still going on, but on a acceptable level. Same as maybe one day our clueless politicians will understand this thing is here to stay forever, and we better learn to live with it. Like we live with cancer, heart attacks, strokes, dengue, malaria, diabetes and another 1000 diseases... as well as car accident, floods, earth quakes, volcanos, and plane crashes. We learned to deal with those, we learned that some will be cured and some will die of it and that's it. F.F.S. ..... 3 1 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soi 6 was raided and the bars were told they weren't allowed to open until 6pm. I took the above picture from twitter, apparently taken today at 3pm. Can you say C-O-N-S-P-I-R-A-C-Y The people in power WANT business to fail.... To go out and enforce some trivial regulations to take away what little income the Soi 6 bars have is not only heartless but is hanging stones around the neck of a drowning man......They know what they are doing....

Thai Spice Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 How can we believe any of the Covid numbers when things like this happened in a first class developed country ? https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-54422505 Fucking Excel file problem ...... And we are supposed to take this people seriously and without questioning ? When I worked, anytime somebody came up with some Excel file / chart of his making the first thing I did was going through the cells and check the formulas, links etc.... I remember one day a guy from another dept was pretty shocked, as I did it in the meeting and he went "wait, are you're double checking my file / chart construction ?" Well of course I am ! And don't start me on the error margin of the tests themselves ........ Depending on sources it is between 20 and 30 % ...... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seen a video from last friday night on suk soi 4, you could have counted the number of cars on one hand, as you will know the road is usually packed with cars and people from friday night right through until monday. As quiet as Pattaya apparently is at the moment, it's still faring better than much other places. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think .. can't remember exactly because I was a little "buzzed" ( a lot ) .. but, nevertheless there seemed to be a handful of bars open and doing a pretty good business .... Kaosan Road has opened up in BKK .... I went down there a couple of nights ago ... the place was packed with a shit load of gorgeous gals .. they have really cleaned up the place .... I have only been down there a couple of times in all of my years here ... I always thought it was a dump .. but, now it is pretty nice ... Kaosan Road was rocking ...really, all of the women down there was a sight to see ... a shit load more gals than guys ....

fforest Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 This madness will be lasting a lot loooooonger than 3-4 months...

dcfc2007 Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 Nightwish will survive, they may lose a few bars but they will survive, my guess is they will take on more 'investors'. I was one of the more optimistic people when this whole thing started, but now I would say you would have to be mental if you think tourists are going to return in any significant numbers within the next 6 months (at the very very least). 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Survive how mate? They're selling off bars every chance they get. There's not enough customers to keep them going. Even the biggest optimist won't be putting money in that franchise now. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
