She must have been quite a character:

 

Cockatoo, Shadow, and Temptations ladyboy bars belong to The Stumble Inn Group. This bar group posted this ad for their "Funcard" on their Twitter account today:

Seems that with the exception of Mercury, all of their ladyboy bars will reopen (someday).

Was there another police raid tn TreeTown tonight?

No need to panic right now imo...

Hopefully everything will be back to normal in a few weeks...

Oops...

Thip Bar

Is Thip bar a mixed (GG/lb) bar?

The official statement from the government:

Well this is not good for me!
https://thethaiger.com/news/national/breaking-registration-closes-for-test-go-starting-today
But some can still get in the country:
Travellers registered to enter Thailand under the Test & Go will still be able to enter Thailand under the programme, but no more travellers will be able to register, according to Thai media.

If you arrive before 10 January you'll have to take a second PCR test. But will you have to quarantine between the two PCR tests? I don't think so but I'm not 100% sure.
A bit of conflicting reports out there on this point...

According to Nikkei there's no quarantine:

"Meanwhile, 90,000 people who had already obtained the Travel Pass but not yet arrived will be allowed to enter the country without quarantine. They will be required to take two mandatory RT-PCR tests, the first upon arrival and the second seven days later. They will also be required to report their condition and whereabouts more frequently."

The "beer garden" set up in the main court is not open, and has been mostly taken up by the ground level bars outdoor seating.

I find it strange that the Temptations bar sign is still there:

Pic above from social media apparently taken over the weekend

I thought the bar wouldn't reopen anymore. Even their FB page is still online:

unlike that of sister bar Mercury:

Pdoggg mentioned in a different thread that TJ's music bar's now open. This Facebook pic was apparently taken last night:

Looks like it's been a fun night...

Soi Cowboy 18 December 21:

Suzie Wong, Oasis, Spritz, Corner bar, and others are open. Unfortunately it doesn't look as if the two ladyboy bars were open...

Someone on the other forum mentioned that Sensations Bar was open again. And indeed, on

So according to Nick, Pattaya open air beer bars can resume business on Thursday.

We'll see...

There was a meeting yesterday:

Pattaya entrepreneurs ask the government to open beer bars

writes 77 Kaoded: 

https://www.77kaoded.com/news/sangk/2211059

Published December 14, 2021

If I read it right, the opening of beer bars before the holidays was - so far - just something what the business owners asked for:

"At Pattaya City Hall, Chonburi Province, Pattaya City entrepreneurs led by Mr. Boonan Pattanasin, President of the Pattaya Business and Tourism Association and representatives of various associations and organizations in Pattaya have gathered to meet Mr. Wuttisak Singhadecho, Bang Lamung District Chief, Mr Sonthaya Khunpluem, Pattaya City Mayor, Pol Col Kulchat Kulchai, Pattaya City Police Superintendent. They listened to the demands of the operators."

Whether the beer bars will be allowed to open tomorrow, as was suggested by NDTV and some folks on other forums, will be in the hands of the local / provincial authorities. The business owners' demands were apparently already forwarded to them. 

"Mr. Wuttisak asks for cooperation. If a restaurant operator violates for the first time, they will get a warning. But if it happens a second time, the district has the authority to make arrests. If entrepreneurs are not strict, it may result in Bang Lamung District having more strict measures."

The rules, i.e. the alcohol booze ban from 11 pm (more specifically alcohol can be served from 11 am - 2 pm and from 5 pm - 11 pm) and that the restaurants have to close at midnight are still in effect if I get this right...

Translated from Thai into English using Google Translate so please bear with me if it's not 100% correct.

Soi 7 bar girls: GG or LB?

I'm wondering if the girls (GG/LB) really need to go for a fuck with us ugly old farang guys (primarily speaking of myself of course...) when they can make a lot of money just sitting and drinking with you...

A Nana Plaza mamasan posted this staff wanted ad today:

They get 100 Baht for every lady drink in addition to their fixed income (currently about 400B for 4-5 hours of work, before covid it was 800B+ for 8+ hours).

One customer last night dropped 13,510 B (400 USD) in a Nana Plaza bar for example:

The average salary in Thailand is around 20K, the daily minimum wage about 300B (10-11 USD).
