Nightcrawler Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 Looking at the iRover's Live Webcam feeds, it seems that Billabong in LK is open again, but seems to be a few blokes sitting on their own with little sign of the freelancers that would have normally been out in force. Not a lot of footfall but the Soi does look busier than it was a month ago and more lights are on..... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are the Sunee Plaza toilet cams still functioning, or have you worn them out?. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I though the same when Trench Town opened in 2018 0r 2019 a bit further north on Bukhao. I figured it would never have any customers. However, I passed that stretch of Bukhao multiple times daily and Trench Town always had plenty of customers. Often all the seats were taken and people were standing. I'm not interested in anything Rasta so I never visited the bar, but apparently many others did. Evil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His reply: Quote Posted Friday at 11:24 PM Sadly no. We are ready to open and will do as soon as the Corona (government) situation allows tourists to enter Thailand with out unreasonable restrictions and alcohol can be sold.

They did that here in Patong, every bar closed for 24 hours and sanitised. Every employee in the bars to report for a PCR test at the hospital or they couldn't work anymore.

Glasseye Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 Around this time last year (Jan.-Feb.) there was a case (Japanese couple, so I'm told) in my condo. I didn't even know it until two days after it was reported. I thought something was odd when I walked through the lobby and noticed all of the sitting areas where roped off. I found out because a friend of mine who lived in the complex sent me a text alerting me. The signage they had up was nowhere to be seen, go figure. The next day after I learned about the case I noticed a cleaning team of at least 30. It was actually amazing to see how they worked. They went over every inch of that place (two buildings, 16 stories each). I was dumbfounded. I just thought to myself... well this place will be staying spic and span for a long time. Sure enough.... weeks later there was still an active crew keeping the place spotless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The King Kong must be one of the oldest surviving bars in the infamous Soi 6 and i must confess to having spent some most pleasurable times in there in years long past......
