So does that mean the Red Chinese will also not come? That's a huge slice of the Thai market.Comment

Chinese barely spend any money in Thailand, nobody would miss them.
They buy all in inclusive trips in China using Chinese airlines. When they arrive they use Chinese bus companies.
The buses take them to stay and eat in Chinese owned hotels and restaurants. They take them to Chinese approved tourist attractions and sell them Chinese trinkets.

Chinese love Big Eye show ... opens in October Woody tells meComment

Oh yes but they all come in on Chinese buses, transported from their Chinese owned hotel.
The tour companies in China buy mass tickets and they funnel them through the Big Eye Show.
It does employ some Thais but it probably wouldn't exist without the Chinese, I bet you may find Chinese money behind it.
It also seemed to have some Koreans and Japanese at the shows, but Japanese also come to Thailand independently, especially to golf.
Tourists from mainland China almost always come in groups and they never seem to go to ladyboy bars.
The Big Eye Show probably tries to keep tourists from seeking out the real sex in Pattaya.
The doctor that came to my room in Phuket was very upset it was a Chinese owned hotel. He felt all of Thailand was slowly being taken over by the Chinese.
Tourist that are directly from mainland China probably spend less money per capita than tourists from many other countries.
I suppose the total from Chinese tourism is high but the margins are slim. Tourist companies in China suck up most of the profits.
The best ones are those who visit independently but still live abroad. They own condos and send money when not there.
When they do visit Thailand they spend money at many businesses and are often generous to companions.
Also those taking retirement in Thailand are usually transferring large amounts of wealth into Thailand.
Still in the current situation flights from China should be the last ones resumed.Comment

Not sure how it will be with few customers.
Tourist areas are set up for mass consumption.
Gogo dancers will have to take turns buying rounds for each other.

This sounds real sucky...especially the part about service staff cannot sit with customers and also all chairs must be 1 meter apart ....and face sheilds.... no pool playing.... but the bathrooms will get the most attention...certainly more than the have ever seen ... supposed to clean now every 30 to 60 minutes... I've seen some bathrooms in bars that look like they cleansed 30 to 60 days apart...

If Thailand plays games too long they will lose my business.
As far as beaches go, there is plenty of closer ones.
Just like everyone else they are reacting with nothing but panic, logic never comes into play.
It probably doesn't matter because our Communist Prime Minister will probably keep us locked in Canada forever.
Just because they can.....Comment

More of what's to come ? Friday is scrubbed for the official rules ...official rules released Monday now. See link for details.
I heard from Bella that Why Not is open and I've heard yell of other non sanctioned bars being in operation so it seems there's a gap in enforcement...so, as it states in the article, there is discussion of the Thai authorities to have CCTV access to the goings on of the various establishment's including "sex massage" .. I suspect to make monitoring easier (easy to catch and fine non compliant bars et al.

Yep, "tea money to grease the rails". Over the years living and traveling in the entire Asian continent, Europe, the USA, Hawaiian islands (8) and reading the newspapers, magazines, and watching all the news channels, I had finally had a Eureka moment. I have finally seen the light. Corruption fuels the movement of MONEY. Sometimes it's good and sometimes, bad.

Without corruption and tea money none of these bars for boys and girls filled with GOOD, BAD, AND UGLY boys and girls would open up. So that's why ladyboy bars like Bangkok's and Pattaya's Obsessions, Bhukao Street, plus Sois 6,7,8 bars are able to open and stay open. Until the world recession came crashing down when I first arrived in 2012. Sad to say I came TOO LATE. Really hated myself for being scared out of my wits when I first walked into Stringfellows. Lucky are the guys like StickmanBangkok.com who arrived around the year 2000. Do read all of his archives of weekly reports complete with EXCELLENT photos shot with a $5000 Canon DSLR with very expensive top-of-line Canon lense. Amazing how he could shoot stripper shots in the ordinary bar spot lights WITHOUT A FLASH!
Anyway, MONEY makes all thing so smoothly and not so smoothly (Trump). I think now I understand why barfines have been going up to the stratosphere causing bars to close permanently all over Thailand. Add the ongoing recession to the evolving DEPRESSION and to the mind-blowing C pandemic reaping lives of all ages all over the world. The Thailand police need to be smart and lower or stop tea money fines under the table otherwise their cash cow will permanently die. Then the police who get absolutely NO MONEY from the federal government with retrogress and expand the criminal elements of their secret enterprise like loan sharking, kidnapping and ransom money, slave prostitution, HEROIN and cocaine growth, processing, and distribution to the entire world and the USA, gambling and Bone-breaking style of collections, and their MURDER-FOR-HIRE sinister operations. Sounds exactly like how the Jewish/Italian Mafia does business. This are the list of things I think I know. I don't know if their operations encompasses the lucrative tourism trade. I think they surely do. Evildoers just can't miss an opportunity to score some fast profits without any lay money. They feed on OTHER PEOPLE'S MONEY.

So now I reverse my opinion that all bars do need to raise their rates when they return to business. Or the Keystone Cops should hold off and allow a vacation on tea money collections (lest they, too, will go bankrupt). Think they will? Fuck them. In the meantime I will walk Beachwalk looking for my lovely little teen femboy Baitong who I think will gladly let me date her again because she has run out of money and needs to replenish her bank account. I will forgive her for hiding from me and she will say, "Mai pen rai". Then it's AWAY WE GO. Three times a week.
Pray for a speedy success for the human vaccination trials in Brazil. Thailand should forget about the monkey trials. It's already tooooooo late to start this monkey business.Comment

So, according to this article, bars in Pattaya are not going to bother opening until it becomes more normal ( have customers and rules of conduct make sense)
