With Xmas coming up next week, is this year going to be a good time to be in pattaya, or is there a lack of farang , which has been common all year. Friends of mine have been saying that the lack of farang around boys town is due to the stupid prices of drink charged, ie funny boys charging 160 bht a beer, the cafe royale charging more for a soda than a beer. They are still living in the past with their prices compared to todays exchange rates.I know what some guys will say , and that is , a bht is still a bht nothing to do with the exchange rate, ,but you need to compare the whole sale price compared to the retail price, in thailand, then see what the bars charge, Im not in pattaya so i have get my info from friends, but they are telling me that even now the number of guys at the cafe is way down after midnight compared to a few years ago at this time of year. This is also the same at bbb,, I can rember when that bar was humming , late at night
