How are the bars, restaurants, agogos, massage shops, gentleman clubs and any business doing during covid?

So after month after month of massage shop closures a number of them on Klang by Buakhao have dropped the price to 80 baht an hour, already busy, finally they are realising by lowering the price you get more customers

The place I used to go has the sauna still going but the girls are gone, except the one that used to massage me. She's selling fruit from a stall near the sauna, and massaging when a customer comes.

Hope she washes her hands before selling the fruit again.

The oil would get on the fruit.

IMO business is down to about a third of what it was pre-COVID in Chiang Rai. Prices are 150 baht/hour, they must be pretty desperate for business asking 80 baht.

i saw a massage shop next to me lowered it to 100 now promotion, i am contemplating trying it out,

but i really dont like to try out new places when i finally found a place with effective massage, in my experience 90% is not worth the time let alone money,

its pure luck to find competence

Probably down to one hand or two fingers for 80 baht

I heard a couple of months back that the TQ on Beach was in a deep hole and struggling to keep the doors open. Anyone know if it's still struggling?

 

I also hear that at least a couple of beer bars on Soi 6 have ip cams set up where stuck-at-home punters can buy their favorite bar girls ladies drinks via the bars FaceBook page. Apparently it's 300 baht a pop and the girls seem to be doing OK. Not sure if it matters if the punter is in Northampton or Naklua either.

Yes desperate but 80 baht is better than zero baht and it's working already, busy, for this weekend anyway

Not limited to Soi 6 (Soi Buakhao and side Sois e.g.) and a couple of live streams on youtube (don't know what payment channel they use).

I think 44 Baht beers on Soi Buakhao also attract more than 160 for a LEO in a Gogo

This is a good (and needed) thread title.....That should cover just about everything Covid related in Pattaya as far as businesses go..

 

Speaking of massage shops on Pattaya Klang.....I have gotten to where I almost dread walking to Big C Extra because you have to walk past a bunch of massage shops, and boy are they desperate for customers...

I honestly think the girls are only working there due to lack of other employment options....Its sad....

Some of my favourite massage shops have already closed on Klang, I think it's likely ladies who previously were strict on massage only now do specials because of no customers

Yes, for an extra 100 baht she will put her phone down and use both hands.
