I wonder what practical difference this “reopening” will make.
Yes Gogo bars can operate but some have been open with guys in jeans for some time. In Pattaya we have read that A Bomb, and Dream Boys have been open already. Winner has been partly open. Nice boys has been operating throughout.
So that leaves Cupidol and my favourite Toyboys. The former is permanently closed and it remains to be seen if Toyboys reopens.
In Bangers many are open already but with guys in jeans. So apart from seeing more flesh no real change.
Massage places in Jomtien have been open for months as have most of the bars. Some new ones have even opened,...so no sudden improvement next month.
Seems to me that the gay scene can continue, maybe with a more secure future, but no big overnight changes.
