Dragon has increased off fees (I heard 400) and expected tips. Divirium minimum tip is 1500. Times are changing.

I know 2 bars for sale for 5 million. One building recently sold for 12 million, and a bar (just the business and lease) recently sold for 2 million.

Doug is yet to make a move on a new bar. Many of us are praying he does something soon. The complex needs something new. The old formula is failing. As for drink price fixing. Yes, one farang bar owner tried to fix drink prices at 100 baht / beer. Some bars went along with it, others didn't. Complex prices are getting stupid, when you can walk 20 meters to one of the newer "pop up" bars and pay 30 - 40% less for drinks. Greed will be many bars downfall.

Europe is crumbling. I will never go back. If I look at the likes of Biden, Justin Trudeau, Lizz Truss, the horse face cunt in NZ. The west is pathetic. These people are criminals and scum. However this new world turns out, I will be on the side of China/Russia and their allies. To everyone else, enjoy your energy bills.

The USA is the bully. The rest of the world need to stop appeasing warmongers. This is all caused by NATO's advance east. I am 100% anti-war. I feel great sorrow in the suffering of the civilians in Ukraine. If as a species we found a better way to organise ourselves, maybe all this pointless killing could be avoided.

You are entitled to your opinion. I am mine. The US / EU and UK governments I regard as criminal filth. I would condemn them before any other global leaders. While Thailand may be corrupt, it has nothing on Ukraine (which most under 40s can't even point to on a map). Follow the money. The scum then (30s,40s), are being funded by the same people as the scum now.

I feel far safer living in a country that abstained. Don't poke the bear!

Cafe Blu Seeland. The Kebabist All the previous suggestions are years old. There are some fantastic places to eat if you will pay for it. Des Amis is what it is. No tourist will eat there every night.

I believe as of today, October 1st, Thailand is open to all visitors, regardless of vaccine status. Back to pre-covid normality. The emergency decree is over.

No, they don't. They only put the mask on when they leave with a farang. It's a good disguise.

Will see you soon at at Cocka2. You will be the only masked person. Or did you change your flights for 2023? Covid is all over Pattaya. Everyone has a sniffle. Maybe cancel the flight.

no? You choose how to live your life. I will choose how to live mine.

I spent a year living in Bangkok in 2015-2016. There were days that I put on a pollution filter mask. But they are very different than anything medical. You can buy packs of replacement filters in 7-11 that you chance each day. They might still sell them. I don't know. I don't live in Bangkok anymore.

BOLT is great. @Gaybutton continues to be a voice of knowledge on everything Pattaya. Alternatively, hire a motorbike. That's how most of us get around.

In Pattaya, I haven't worn one at all in 2 months. It's a thing of the past. I was in a Pharmacy yesterday and the nice lady smiled, and I could see it! Fantastic. A few of us expats commented the other night that were was only 1 "expat" who walks through Jomtien Complex masked up. He stands out like a sore thumb. It is true that maybe 50-70% of Thais are still wearing them indoors (shopping malls, ect). Take a short walk through Central, and you won't see many, if any foreigners with one. Having said all this, I hear in Bangkok it's very different and mask use is still near universal. A good reason to stay away from Bangkok.

And? People will continue to catch a cold for the rest of time. I couldn't give 2 fucks.

You should come to Pattaya. I haven't put a mask on once for 2 months now. It's over.

I would just like to add, I really miss Screw Boy... damn.

It's open. Left with a handsome boy 2 days ago, and we went to Cafe Blu at Arcadia Beach right next door. Anyone who has contact with the owner should really suggest allowing free entrance to boys under 25. Just add 20 baht for farang if needed.

This is nonsense. I lived in Bangkok and was well acquainted with the Ha Tinh boys 5 years ago. I used to sit at Red Dragon (outside screwboy) till the early hours multiple times a week. They are all from the same province. They won't take shit. But if you show them respect, it will be returned. I am unsure why the OP is so hateful. I found them to be some of the more honest, no bullshit people to spend time with.

That's not the correct way to say it. But if you are a tourist talking to a bar boy it doesn't matter. He will smile and say yes till you open your wallet and pay him.

Make your mind up. In your original post, you said propositioning a bell boy for some fun. Now, you have changed to offering random people in a 3rd world country money to suck your dick. These are very, very different things. My advice was sound. You articulated badly.

2023... 1. 3 month motorbike adventure in Vietnam (Hanoi to Saigon) 2. Open business in Pattaya (not a bar) 3. Reach my goal of becoming fluent in Bangkok Thai. If you want to fuck the bellboy or motorbike taxi driver, just ask. Really.

Cannabis was decriminalised. It's not legal to walk around smoking it. A couple of bars in Jomtien Complex are allowing customers to smoke there. More bars are not allowing it. I have no interest, but others can do as they wish. I smell it everyday now, but I don't worry so much. My only concern is it will attract the wrong type of people.

I had a Thai boyfriend in 2018 (not a bar boy). We broke up but stayed friends and had fun sometimes. We had friends in common so would still regularly go to Sinlapin Issan ect. We were separated during COVID as I was no longer living in Thailand. \ 6 week before my return to Thailand we were talking most days, excited to reunite. 4 weeks before my return, he went silent. His friends told me drugs, but I never saw him take drugs. He was a hard working young man. He died. He was 28. ============ Yes these things happen in Thailand. But the country has little effect on how much it hurts. I'm sorry you lost your friend. Just writing this has me in streaming tears.
