Not really the death knell, but all these factors including visa problems, possible insurance requirements all deter people coming 14 Link to post Share on other sites

Popular Post OneMoreFarang 26,559 Posted December 14, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted December 14, 2019 It's some time ago that I was in Pattaya. But when I look at Bangkok's nightlife everything is getting a lot more expensive. There was a time when I just ordered drink after drink for myself, maybe friends, and one or two pretty girls. But over the years the prices increased dramatically. So now maybe I drink a little slower and does she really need a 2nd drink 10 minutes later? After two or three it adds up to real money. I know one reason is that the rents are a lot higher than they used to be and many girls have discovered that they can get more - if they just decide to work together and not against each other. The cheap times are over and I would be surprised if this would get any better. 18 Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe avoiding the growing Russian bars in Walking streets as they can see Russian girls at home ! 6 Link to post Share on other sites

Amazingly even though exaggerated TAT tourists numbers nor Thai tourism itself depends on the washed desperates or cheap Charlie looky- loos that congregate in a 2 bit over rated brothel town.

Popular Post phantomfiddler 7,327 Posted December 14, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted December 14, 2019 The mathematical formula is quite simple. The number of paying Farang customers wishing to come here to spend money on the nightlife scene will be inversely proportional to the number of Indian groups roaming the streets looking for prey. I already know of condo pools where Farangs no longer use their swimming pool due to "Asians" washing their underwear in said pools with a bar of soap, I guess a cleaner substitute for the Ganges. And it,s going to get worse 16 4 1 3 Link to post Share on other sites
Popular Post cyril sneer 3,524 Posted December 14, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted December 14, 2019 the tourists are still there in numbers, though they just walk past the nightlife and take photos instead also I doubt the gangs of 5-6 Indians that take 1 girl to a room stay for very long in the bars 6 Link to post Share on other sites

Popular Post spidermike007 37,128 Posted December 14, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted December 14, 2019 Years ago, many Western tourists came here, and were willing to spend hundreds of thousands of baht, while on vacation here. Also, there were tens, if not hundreds of thousands of ex-pats, many of whom spent 100,000 baht or more per month. Where did all that revenue go? Why are those people gone, baby gone? Who, or what drove them out? The authorities here have only themselves to blame, for the massive collapse of the tourism market. I am not referring to the tens of millions who fill up the airports, and clog the streets, but bring little in the way of revenue. But rather middle class tourists, and wealthy tourists who used to frequent this nation, and have not come back for a dozen valid reasons. Talk about biting off the hand that feeds you. 28 3 Link to post Share on other sites
