Well, heard that stroy before but this line echoes some points already raised about the media in this thread
It's been touted (sic) before and not happened. Yet combined with the stated intention to turn Pattaya into a more family-oriented destination I have a feeling it will carry more weight this time.

Back to Soi Twilight. There is a report on another Board of a police raid in the Soi last Saturday. They appeared to target at least X-Boys and Fresh Boys go-go bars. The writer subsequently visited Fresh Boys and discovered only about 10 boys working and the show shortened. He believes this is a result of that bar employing a large number of Vietnamese and Cambodians.

There are no posts about the scene in the Soi on following evenings. But it completely bears out what BonTong said about the bars depending increasingly on foreign sex workers. Judging from some chats I have had on the apps, it appears there are also now more foreign guys working in the massage spas.
