Once again another good start to my day. Thanks for the effort.

Well there you go! If ever you needed a thermometer to tell the Pattaya tourist heat levels, Champagne may be the tool of choice. My second thought was however, will it close again as soon a Songkran is over? My "People on the ground" in Pattaya now are telling me that the place is really winding down and that tourists are far and few between. It's all the same to me but last year's low low season compounded by a bleak 2026 will be a real blow to the local economy.

I found it interesting that Champagne has once again bitten the dust. Thanks for the update. The point is that almost every review of the place since the reopening seemed to be negative. The volume was too high for common mortals. The lady drinks were a bit on the expensive side and in fact there was bugger all money spent on the place when it ceased to be Pure and started up again as Champagne. I guess that while the management had a long history in Pattaya they took no notice of what people were saying.

As usual your efforts are appreciated. I must admit that the section regarding new bars and clubs and those places closing is my favourite part. Keeping up with the things that matter in Pattaya when you are not there, is important. Also pleased to see that the "Bridge creating troubled waters" has not been forgotten.

Yet again you started my day with a smile, a chuckle and renewed doubt about ever setting foot in Pattaya again! [emoji39] Sent from my CPH2669 using Tapatalk

I don't suppose that there is any questions that you can ask or can't ask on this forum. I also guess that you are only asking for opinions but... Its quite rare to get questions that require very specialised replies. The vast majority of people here don't even live in Thailand. It's rather like asking a legal question of a non law professional. I wish you the best of luck but I think that there are much more appropriate places than Pattayatalk for this sort of question.

Actually I find that there is wisdom mixed in with the mirth. Well done for taking aim at the aimless. Already looking forward to next month's targets. Sent from my CPH2669 using Tapatalk

One sort of change that I was noticing, but it could be the time of night that I choose Bolt. I got the opinion that they were trying for added value for their drivers. By this I mean that rather than say wait 10 minutes for a standard Bolt, I would stump up say, another thirty baht for a Premium ride in three minutes. I did this a couple of times but I think that it all comes down to time of day, destination and location. Why any sane driver wants to get into the thick of Soi Buakhao is a mystery, but that's my general destination.

In Thailand this is a Bolter! Sent from my CPH2669 using Tapatalk

I was in Thailand a few days ago. I used Bolt every few days and reports of it's death are grossly exaggerated. Sent from my CPH2669 using Tapatalk
