Three security staff on the door but no punters milling around. Best of luck to them. The beer bar nearest Kiss Food has re-opened, and has the live music back on. That makes two bars open in that complex now. There do seem to be signs of life about, people expecting an uptick for Songkran and the school holidays perhaps. The requirements in get into Thailand are brutal and $$$ I really dont think there are many more farang on the ground than 2-3 months ago...

But if bars are closed, and restaurants, as usual, start serving drinkers, it would surely follow, as before.

Bollywood a go-go is about the same price as a cheap apartment, and you could just live there when it's closed. 1.4 million, but the rent is 60k. For 4 floors including two apartments right off the beach. Sounds too cheap. I wonder if there's a catch.
