A married couple friend of ours stayed in VT2 recently and had dinner somewhere in Jomtien

They commented on the wide street, the absence of visitors and that something needed to be done.

I agreed but was surprised to receive an email with their suggestion.

In the early 70's Bugis Street in Singapore was famous around the world for its parade of drag queens,
tranvestites, ladyboys call them what you want but still prostitutes.

Their suggestion was as the bars cannot afford to hire many boys/ladyboys they encourage freelancers to
parade themselves[for hire] of course but without off fee. The street tables and chairs are very suitable for watching the passing parade

In Singapore they appeared just before midnight and paraded for around 30 minutes. The tables were full up to an hour before show time.

No pay, but maybe some food and drinks for favourites and amplified music to encourage a show. Best looking or those with personality could earn some good tips

Ok it is just an idea, but more positive than most of the posts re Jomtien that have been posted here.

Some advantages for the complainers , is that no cabaret or go go could mean cheaper prices for drinks and no off fee required.
