misteregg Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 my mate note who sings at pattaya rock street blue sky bar 2 next to skyfall told me they will reopen on 1st june.not sure if it will happpen.but i can see a lot of bars struggling to get customers in if the prices are still the same.bars and gogos are going to have ot rethink the prices for a got 6 months before they can get back to normal.and as for xmas new year i can see it a very quiet one to.a lot or place will not last and close i see.but thais do not see thsi and just hick prices up so people just leave asap when they see prices.They won’t be opening on June 1st. Nobody has an opening date yet, nobody, not the police, army, they’re just talking to get face. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well Phil I am guessing that since they will allow all business to open July 1st that they just leave the bars closed till that date as well Hope I am wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have too many well connected business owners and their own, out of work population breathing down their necks to do so. That and the fact Thailand has gone over a month now with no new infections, other than Thais returning from abroad who are in quarantine. Hard to justify a continued shutdown of businesses when you have no internal infections. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just this week they've pulled forward to opening date for gyms here from September 1st to July 1st due to mounting pressure from businesses and the public, I suspect Thailand will do similar. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once that ban is up, what little sympathy shown by Thai landlords will run out, and with hardly any customers in town this could get ugly. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Initially you think 'how did you manage that', really though it's a silly mistake, but we all make them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrcharliemofo Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 (edited) Probably one of a load of places that won't be re-opening is the Do Call Inn on Soi Buakhow, I was in there a few times and it used to get a good write up on PA but I walked past it today and all signs have gone now. I'm guessing it's going to just one of a hell of a lot that won't open again. Edited June 5, 2020 by mrcharliemofo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Opened by the same guy as started Do Drop Inn on Soi Diana in the middle of 2017 and moved to this place a year ago past May. Could be a one year lease just finished and no give from a landlord?

Not according to his thread on the place over on PA, the money they must have spent on the bar and the rooms above then there's no way it was a 1 year lease. Edit Posted on 1st May by one of the owners of the bar Looking fairly glum for all bars. I note that several bars are packing up in Pattaya and calling it done. I will have to consider my options if it extends further than mid June. Even when we can open the customer base is not there to trade without still making a lose. I think that lose will be for at least 12 months into the future. My lease extends for a further 24 months, so still have that obligation to consider.

Was just a question really given that it opened in May 2019, but maybe not a very good one. 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
