A youtube video tour of Pattaya as posted today by "everything Pattaya" showing Pattaya as the latest lockdown kicks in...... sad to see but I fear is the way things will be going there for a while yet :-(
Interesting story in the commentary too re "tea money" and a friend of his getting fucked over ( or not depending on your view I guess) by their shop landlord for not paying on time.

I’ve said it before ...Chernobyl.
Few points:
Firstly, about 3/4 through he said the time was 1 o’clock, so he started a bit earlier than that. Nothing much is open at those times anyway. Thailand is a “late in the day” sort of place. Well it was before lockdown.
Secondly, Irish it was KEY money I heard him talking about...but yes someone being done over.
The scenes were similar to what I saw earlier this year, but it has to be said were only seen in tourist areas which is where he took the video.
Other parts of Pattaya, particularly on the dark side, were “situation normal”. I expect they still are, more or less.
I thought Pattaya was opening in 5 weeks in September? Is that still on?
(imo) if they open at all it will just be a "technical" opening. Meaning that they will continue to make it very unpleasant for travelers who want to travel. As of right now, not enough damage has been done. They want their "reset". I think we're at least another year+ away from seeing tourists being able to return.Originally Posted by cdnmatt
Ha yes you are of course absolutely right and KEY money was what I meant to type and was what I was thinking of. Thailand's TEA money just automatically came out of my fingers as I typed it seems it being the more common form of "payment" we hear about !

How about a video made at night?? see exactly what it is..
Here's an early evening video ( with the place getting dark about half way through the video) as made by that same walking guy ( so watching it speeded up might be a good idea until you reach the areas that interest you - jumping to around 28.00 or 39.00 mins takes you to the tukcom area.
Good to see Salt and Pepper cafe opposite Mosaic still open and trading ( at to 30.00mins) - and even his yappy wee dog still there and in fine yapping voice too still it seems :-)
At least it's showing the place isn't totally closed up - although as to whether or not thats a good thing or not Im not sure.
For clarity and to save people wasting time this is the same video I'd posted on another thread and I added it here re the "we need an evening video" so if you've already watched it feel free to skip on past.
