Apparently you go in here to get to the I Bar ocean side.......... Remember the New York Diner as I went there once intending to eat in Don Joes and it was no longer there having been replaced by the diner. Think the diner took over the property next to Don Joes to make an entrance into Ibar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, has been that way since the beginning of the last lockdown, and I think even before then. With no tour buses clogging up the road, and a reduction in vehicles in Pattaya they don't need the extra lane so might as well use it for parking. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

john luke Posted January 7, 2022 Author Share Posted January 7, 2022 Beach Road, Central Festival and a walk through Tree Town and surrounds. By and large Pattaya overall seemed quiet; as far as the bar scene, Tree Town seems the significant area at the moment. Even in Tree Town some bars were busy and others were not. I did not get near enough to ascertain whether any were requiring a lateral flow covid 19 test prior to entry. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forcebwithu Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 ^^^ Some good pics of what the nightlife currently looks like. Noticed last night the Tree Town testing station that had been set up the past few nights in front of the eating area in your picture below was gone. Was kind of surprised by that given the spike in infection numbers we've seen this week. Which maybe is why they removed the testing station. If they don't test then the daily count of new infections will go down. I call that a win, win. Also saw last night Jie Jie bar on Soi Pothole was shuttered. I was told staff caught the virus. I won't be surprised to see a few more of the popular bars close up in the coming days due to staff illness. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Need to have a "legitimate photo of your ATK result" to get served though. Don't know what qualifies as legitimate. IMHO, it's good that businesses are trying to protect their staff by making sure the customers they serve aren't sick. Unfortunately if legitimate means a govt test where if you test positive you're immediately thrown into a jail cell hospital bed for 10 days at your expense, they probably won't have many customers for the time being. It would be far better if the govt would change their stance and allow home isolation, and only require a hospital stay if symptoms warrant that level of care. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Horizondave Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 Just reading a Facebook comment from Phil at Le Pub that you need a test within 72 hours to enter his place. Am I reading that right! So everyone who wants to go to a restaurant, bar etc needs a negative test result within 72 hours of visiting. Seems like a costly exercise or am I missing something. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the latest rules from the pattaya powers-that-be. Some bars restaurants even have supplies of lateral tests available (I think I read 60baht upwards) available for prospective customers to use. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jambo Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 Does it not seem obvious that omicron is in the process of spreading like wildfire. Nobody is wearing a mask or applying social distancing once sitting in or outside a bar. If the UK is anything to go by, and I am sure it is, vaccination is having little or no difference to the spread of omicron. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the UK is anything to go by, and I am sure it is, vaccination is having little or no difference to the spread of omicron. I agree totally with you. (I bet that surprises you.) When restaurants were allowed to sell intoxicants, unfortunately a lot of bars jumped on the bandwagon and pretended to be restaurants. This caused more mixing and as you point out a lack of social distancing. Additionally when Covid 19 originally reared its head the baht buses restricted numbers on the vehicle to six; this now has gone to the wind. Mask use generally has not been maintained. The main offenders being European and American Males; the Thais including young children are pretty compliant in respect of mask wearing. Finally the Christmas and New Years Celebrations will have acted as a spreader of the virus. The redeeming fact is a lot of the bars are outside and there is good ventilation in the back of a baht bus. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
