Finally found the place @Senior Player
It's the Ariya bar.
At the junction of beach road and central Pattaya road.

Based on the pics and my own visit, I'm 99% sure it's the place you're looking for.
By Jove, I think you've got it! In fact I'm pretty certain that's it. Big thank you, Honey Badger.

You'd need a combination and key safe. I got robbed with a key only safe. Lady friend simply knocked me out with an extremely effective sedative, found the key in my pocket and helped herself. Doh! What a plonker.
Also, some of those combination safes are easy to break into without knowing the number or needing a bypass key. I rented i room in a cheap place once, and when I returned my safe had been opened without my knowledge and money stolen from my stash. I decided to look online to see how easy it was to bypass one of these closet safes and there were lots of demos on YouTube showing just how unchallenging it really was.

I noticed similar unruly behaviour once when I was staying in Goa, India, on one of my world travels. My apartment block was full of twentysomething Russians who would sit outside their rooms in the stairwell and party on the steps. Unfortunately, due to the confined stairwell space, the acoustics of their boisterous behaviour was amplified even further by the ceramic wall tiles and concrete steps. Not once did they consider doing it on their balconies or by the swimming pool. No, it was always in the stairwell with a much greater acoustic range than had it been done out in the open. Of course, sometimes I'd tell them to zip it but they're Russians, so by nature they're ill-mannered and discourteous, and would continue on regardless.
You have my sympathy.

The only thing I'll add is it's easy to put on weight when you get older, but much harder to lose it. Best to keep up some kind of fitness routine as you'll still need to burn off those daily calories. On average, men should burn around 2,500 calories a day.

The whole debate about scooters versus motorbikes can be confusing for your average holidaymaker. Personally, I tend to avoid them. However, there does appear to be an assumption within these forums that your average holidaymaker is always trying to somehow scam the insurance company or just get someone else to pay their medical bills via Go Fund Me. Having recently returned from a trip to LOS myself that required a few hospital visits and various tests (CT and MRI scans, etc), I can honestly say that wading through the claims process when you're actually physically challenged by an ailment can be a horrendous ordeal. Myself, I had medical and travel insurance cover with one of the top 5 travel insurance companies in the world, but I still had to jump through hoops to get my money back. And yes, I had to pay-up front and send the insurance company the actual physical printed receipts (bills)—not copies or PDFs—afterwards. So I can understand why some people ask for help when they have to pay in advance and claim back later.
Without going into my own illness, I can tell you that the insurance company bounced me around various departments and sub-contracted people which I found thoroughly frustrating. Also, I kept getting cut off when using the emergency telephone number and ended up communicating with them via email!! For what it's worth, the final paperwork had to be sent to a sub-contracted company based in England and took about 8-9 weeks to finally resolve.
As some here have pointed out you will receive an Insurance Policy Certificate that will have your policy number, cover limits and excess waiver fees, plus an emergency contact number on. This certificate will be quite basic and will not provide the full terms and conditions, definitions and exclusions which relate to your travel insurance. This information is normally contained within the Policy Wording, a copy of which is available on their website and provided by a linked address. This is what I assume Richard was referring to when he mentioned 117-page policy wording. And yes, Richard is correct, these full terms and conditions are universal, not customized for each holidaymaker.
Clearly, if anyone is intending to hire a scooter or motorbike then reading your Policy Wording thoroughly first is advised. In fact, doing anything that could result in a trip to the hospital. it's best to read your insurance Policy Wording first. Obviously if you have an undiagnosed illness which you previously knew nothing about before taking out the medical insurance and boarding a plane, well, that's an entirely separate matter.

The bar is probably listed on Maps.
Just filter your map for bars in specific locations and then scroll through the proposed list and look at the pics. When you see a potential match, click on the bar and investigate the dedicated page - especially the pics tab.
Honestly, you could hit the jackpot in 10 sec.
Thanks for the tip, Bunny, but there's approx. 4,000 bars in Pattaya. Even using a filter that could take me a helluva while, and there's nothing to say I wouldn't miss it during the initial first search. Needle in a proverbial haystack springs to mind, hence why I tried here.

I would go check those old beer bars on the road that leads to the Nakula fish market...
That's a good shout.
Although, that Nakula area isn't particularly aimed at farang tourists which I know the bar at least to be.

OP, why do you want to know which bar it is?
You said you got the pics off Facebook so how do we know you aren't some stalker that's trying to find some random girl you saw on Facebook?
I didn't say I got the pics off Facebook. You said that. I was sent the photos originally by email but I can no longer reach the person who sent them, hence why I'm asking for the name of the bar on here rather than from that person.
It's not the end of the world if I don't find out. I was just putting it out there to see whether someone knew the name from some of the details in both photos. If nobody knows then so be it.

Well if the OP could at least say the bar was in Pattaya we could make some guesses...
It's in Pattaya, not Jomtien. That's about as far as I know.

Have you checked all the pic's metadata? A bar that ugly right next to the beach shouldn't ve that difficult to find. Where did you get the pics from? Facebook?
Yes. Neither photo has any metadata.

How do you have multiple photo of girls in the bar but you don't know what bar it is?
It's the last photo I have of the bar. Clearly if I knew the name of the bar I wouldn't be asking.

Ugly white tiling, pitch-black background... Should be pretty easy to identify by scanning bars along beach road on Google Maps. Alternatively you can try and watch videos of people walking around the area on YT.
It might be one of the bars at the entrance of Walking Street - next to the entrance of the Pattaya Beer Garden.
I love those guessing games. Come on, more pics without the mystery girl on them. I'm gonna pinpoint that place for you (pretty sure I know it. Remember once thinking to myself what an ugly white tiling - can't remember where though)...
Yes, I tried Google Maps already, plus AI location. There's also no GPS info on the photo to help. I was rather hoping that someone who'd been to this bar might recall the name or location. The last time I went to Thailand (April this year) the entrance to the Pattaya Beer Garden had changed quite a lot and no longer looked rundown. They've even got rid of the Thai Boxing ring in the centre.

If you published with the girls face, that would probably help.
Here's another photo of the bar with a different girl in the shot...

Is that a farang thumb in the background?
No, it's a lady's thumb.
I can see in the background there's a trellis wall top fencing which appears to be mounted on a blue painted wall. Hopefully that stirs a memory or two in the gumshoe crown...

To me, yes.
Here is the full picture minus a person in the shot. I don't know if that gives a better clue as to its whereabouts?

Looks same many older bars in walking street or anywhere else.
Near Mike beach road?
No.
From soi 10 going south,
1. Five Star bar been around 30+ year, cashier been there 28 yrs, different tiles and bar.
2. Cocktail bar, brand new open only 2(?) months ago.
3. Pasha's cafe, newer open air directly outside Mike. No bar.
4. Chalee bar outside modern city. Newer style, no bar.
None of these looks anything same the photo. Not near Mike on beach road.
Thank you for your feedback

The shutters were still down on the bar I thought it was, so no confirmation yet, but I'm quite sure it's one of the bars close to Mike Shopping Mall.
Do you want to find out if she's still going with customers? Maybe Stickman is in Pattaya and feels like doing some gum-shoeing.
I didn't think Stickman was still in Thailand, or Bangkok. I have to admit, it does look like one of the older bars by the tiles around the bar which lead me to somewhere close to the beach front. Further back the bars tends to be more modern. Perhaps you're right in your assessment of it being near Mikes Shopping Mail. I don't suppose you have a name?

Hi. I'm trying to find the name of this bar and location from a tiny portion of a photo. The bar is in Pattaya and might be close to the beach, and that's pretty much all I know. If any good detectives out there can piece together the name from this small background clue, I'd be grateful. If not, don't worry.

What is the Pharmacy name?
There's only 1 pharmacy along Soi Honey that I know of so it's not difficult to find. But it's roughly at the midway point just opposite the Family Mart.
-
I bought Apcalis-SX 20 (4 film coated tablets) — which is a generic version of Cialis — for 250 baht from a real pharmacy down Soi Honey.
Surprisingly, Kamagra was only 200 baht for 4 tablets. This had come down in price since the last time I was there pre-covid.

The DM's details are rather scant to form an overall opinion. Apparently, the three-story fall happened on Koh Phi Phi island, which was where the speed boat had to rush Kieren from to Phuket. But questions need to be asked, such as how did Kieren happen to fall from a balcony? What were the circumstances? If the balcony isn’t faulty, how do you fall off it? And does the hotel bear any responsibility, assuming that it was a hotel? I would suggest the manner in which he fell from the balcony is perhaps the reason why the insurance company will not compensate him. Also, are balcony falls something of a red flag to insurance companies, as in do they suspect another reason for the fall? Without more details, it's difficult to judge. I understand why so many here believe intoxication is probably the lead cause, as it's difficult to understand how a fully grown adult could simply fall off a balcony while sober.
Only thing I'll add is young people really need to take more care of themselves when holidaying abroad.

In the UK it was 2 initial doses, then 2 boosters, given by the age of the patient (oldest first). My most recent one (Moderna) was 26 September 2022 - all 4 are shown on my NHS Covid Pass.
If you've had 2 boosters on top of the initial 2 doses then that would be considered 4 doses. As it stands, the information provided, simply states 2 doses for the majority of vaccines, not 4 doses. That's not to say things might change in the next few hours, though.
Also, the requirement is for a certificate, not an NHS Covid Pass. Basically, you can still have an original certificate of your vaccinations without the need of an NHS Covid Pass.
Further update: I've just logged into my NHS app and asked for a new Covid Pass and was given one based solely on my first 2 jabs. It now expires on 7 July 2023. So you can still get an NHS Covid Pass if you've only had 2 jabs.

Does anyone know the name of this bar from this background clue?
in Pattaya

Yes, you're right. It's just the exterior I think has changed, different frontage. However the interior decor is identical. Well spotted.
I'll be sure to stop by and say hello. Many thanks for everyone's help, especially Honey Badger With a Badge.
