Struck a chord with me as I am in the Pattaya!

Another view on the current UK heat wave

How the British handle a heatwave.

According to British media this could be the best candidate?

Keep them(and yourself) coming. Always appreciate the effort.

It's same the whole world over

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.

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.
