    I think that posts like this are important. It is real experiences by real people that tell the true story of what is happening out in the world. 

    It also maybe gives credence to a recent news report about flying after the non war. The comment was that travellers could expect some great deals in order to fill planes after such a slack period for air travel.

    Good news re that Indrive

    Managed to get it working and after confirming my location (rather than app indicating I was in UK) as Laguna Maldives Jomtien and wanting to go Henrys Bar opposite start of Soi Bongkot it came up at 98 Baht with 4 drivers available

    Now under Bolt that same trip was virtually identical ranging from 90 Baht to 110 Baht normally

    Also time od day allowing for time difference is virtually identical as real time now. Looks like an alternative should Bolt stop is already in place currently

    Here's the problem. Instead of one larger organisation's you will probably end up with two smaller ones. You wait for a cab with grow longer especially if there are less Farang visitors coming to Thailand

    Because the weather is fine and the roads less crowded I have walked everywhere this trip. Friends however tell me that nothing has really changed yet with Bolt and even the prices have remained stable. 

    Let's just hope that it continues.

    It seems that it hasn't bitten as much dust as we thought as it's due to reopen on April 2. 

    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.
