Looking Street is gone tonight

[2 slices short 10]

Just ventured down Walking St and the old "Looking Street" appears to be gone.

 

The new name seems to "WTF am I here for Street" as I gathered from many of the girls that I spoke to tonight.

They seem to be bound by the GBOs (Greedy Bar owners) to fulfilll their day quota befor they are allowed to escape home for their New Year (Songkran)

 

Istanbul Kebab was doing a brisk trade and the Russian lovelys were out in abundance, I was surprised that the Thai boxing near Dollhouse was open but noise was to an absolute minimum. No GoGo bars open that I saw on WS and a quick look down Soi 15 showed nothing but darkness from the WS end, not worth venturing into so I didn't.

 

So "WTF am I here for Street" seems to be the norm for the moment. Even Simon 2 I walked down and instead of the usual cheers and come ons they were whispering, bloody funny when you know the place.

 

High Season ???? What High Season ??? Welcome to low season gents. Oh and 2 days from now you can go to "Drenching Street" where you can get a free involuntary shower just in case you dont like washing. I'll stay home or on the boat. If I want to get wet I prefer that it be at my (or her) discretion.

 

I must admit. however, there was one saving grace, the Arab quarter was totally closed and it's the first time I've been there for a long time without my ears be assaulted. Keep it up - Pattaya, the Family friendly city. (bugger forgot to mention the Dengue mosquitoes, stay tuned)

Why are you suprised? Apparently all music, drinking and having fun is forbidden due to the funeral.

Alcohol is being openly served, but no music or festive lighting.

Weird, went to Chow Soy restaurant in Soi Chayapoon yesterday evening and could not get a beer with my meal. Every bar and most restaurants in the soi were closed. Then the outside fans failed and I was sweltering - double misery.
