Tahitian Queen closed down.

[Natai Beach 2,351]

The birthplace of world famous Thai style gogo bars survived syphalis, gonareah, herpes and HIV, but unfortunately the old girl couldn’t survive Covid 19. 
 

I first came to Pattaya in 1978, the same year the legend was born. 
 

A tragedy. 
 

RIP Tahitian Queen. 
Gone but never forgotten. 
 

I think I am going to cry now.

perhaps we can start a gofundme?

All good things must come to an end...We can all agree that in 2015 not a single person got the answer correct to, 'Where do you see yourself 5 years from now?...

Nah, it’s the missus.

She said to say hello.

Let's not forget "reports of my death have been greatly exaggerated."

 

This is actually fake news at present based on usual rumor (no direct contact with an owner or statement alleged) and now being relished and embellished our usual Coroners and Economists, who are unlikely to let it go even if TQ opens back up again.

 

Astute financial forensic analyses have--wait for it--blamed the landlord (nobody's talked to the landlord or been privy to any conversations between TQ and the landlord), location, daytime opening hours (hours have been changed),  unpretty girls, no fish and chips on the menu, blah blah.

 

Pre-COVID it was doing OK (NO, not like the glory days of course) and even surviving post-COVID. Obviously this second wave represents another blow for all businesses dependent on farang custom.

 

As with all the other bars and esp. go-gos, the new restrictions meant TQ had to close for now as well. It may or may not reopen, but some of us may still hope that it does. We'll have to wait and see or hear a direct quote from the management.

 

But do carry on with the eulogies. TQ's always worth remembering.

I got a message just now that the permanent closure is FAKE news. 

 

Better him, than me?

Being reported in the press.  Could it be an elaborate hoax?

Also survived bird flu, swine flu, SARS, MERS, military coups, volcanic eruption, tsunami, global financial crisis, but could not survive a greedy Thai landlord.

Typical gullibility, believing everything that appears in the "press." Especially when we spot an opportunity to dazzle with the brilliant TVF Landlord Theory of Economics gleaned from talking to some bar owners on Soi Buakhao. What named sources are quoted in the "press?" Er . . . . It's correct in that TQ like all other bars, esp. go-go bars, is currently closed. As for later, we dunno until there's "real" confirmation--which, BTW, there very well may be.

I hope this is "fake news"!  One of the first establishments I visited in Pattaya many years ago.
