Thailand’s tourism industry is in turmoil due to the media hype over the coronavirus outbreak. The levels of panic among certain people worldwide created by the media has caused hysteria.
This is severely damaging tourism and also Thailand’s entertainment sector. No doubt a number of bars, pubs and clubs will be affected, some have already closed as a result.
Stickman’s opening article in his weekly column is a collection of opinions and on the ground reports from foreign residents in Thailand. My opinions are among them and you can read it HERE
I still stick by my guns in my previous article entitled, Thailand Gets Knocked Off Its Pedestal which you can read RIGHT HERE
Thai Airways has announced over 12 billion baht in losses in 2019 and surely it must be as bad, if not worse this year.
When this scare storm passes, I fear that the damage will be done. The unscrupulous media machine will move on to its next scaremongering campaign. Then Thailand will be left to pick up the pieces of its shattered tourism industry.
Mark my words, the media machine will have a lot to answer for regarding the COVID-19 virus scare. Let’s hope this COVID-19 virus soon passes.
However, will the public become any wiser to their devious trickery?

Popular Thailand nightlife columnist Stickman, has recently published a great piece on the on the difference between Nana Plaza and Soi Cowboy (see here for the full article). As readers will know I have been around Nana Plaza for over 12 years and therefore, I am somewhat biased towards that area.

It appears Tenderloins the long established great steak restaurant on Soi 33 will be moving from its current location and taking over the Music Station. The manager told me they expect to move in the next month or so as soon as they have fitted out the new place. We look forward to enjoying their infamous Aussie steaks at the new location.

BANGKOK CURFEW UPDATE 26/05/2010 – All the bars were open in Soi Cowboy last night. In Nana Plaza the go-go bars were open except for the Crown Groups bars. Down in Patpong Soi 2 Bar Bar are open from 2:00pm until 10:00pm for the duration of the curfew. Considering the early hours and the heavy rain, there is quite a good number of bar girls turning up for work. The curfew starts at midnight and ends at 4:00am on Saturday, May 29th.
WARNING! The curfew is serious and starts at midnight until 4:00am. Be aware that a lot of taxi drivers are refusing to take customers from 11:00pm onwards. This especially applies if your destination is some distance. Some notorious taxi drivers are demanding extortionate amounts of money. Therefore, do not leave it too late before you make the journey back to your room. Stickman had to zoom off on a motorbike taxi, because no metered taxi wanted to take him last night. (more…)

BANGKOK BATTLEFIELD – Violence continues for a third consecutive day in Bangkok’s commercial district Silom, as Thai troops battle with the ‘red shirts’ mob. The number of those killed and injured rises to at least 17 dead and over 150 injured. In parts of Bangkok, which is normally a hustling, bustling capital, there is an eerie silence. In stark contrast, the downtown commercial district of Silom resembles a battlefield. Below is a selection of detailed media reports and updates from Bangkok’s battlefields…

PATPONG NIGHTSEEING TOUR – 26/04/2010
Despite the recent bomb blasts at Sala Daeng Skytrain Station, I decided a visit to Silom was long overdue. I spontaneously felt I needed to go and report what was happening in Patpong. (more…)

DEADLY GRENADE ATTACK ON SKYTRAIN STATION
TRAVEL WARNINGS 23/04/2010 – Several countries have issued Thailand Travel Warnings. However, Germany advises that visitors to Bangkok should avoid Silom district and any groups of anti-government protesters. At this stage, I agree with Germany. Meanwhile, America, Britain and Australia continue to send out ‘broken record’ Travel Warnings. No matter where the actual problem areas are located, they constantly send out Thailand Travel Warnings. This makes it a very difficult task for foreigners to evaluate the situation. (more…)

BANGKOK SONGKRAN, APRIL 13-15, 2010
Down in Kao San Road, Patpong, Soi Nana and Soi Cowboy, the water wars were wet ‘n’ wild under the searing sun. Songkran is a lot of fun for those who enjoy getting soaked, but it is very frustrating for those of us who do not want to participate. When you live in Bangkok, or Pattaya there is no escaping it. Why can’t they just leave the dry people alone? During the water wars, even passing motorcyclists have bucket loads of water hurled at them. Combined with too much booze, it’s no wonder there is so much carnage on the roads during Songkran. I think there should be designated areas and times for the water wars – this would allow the normal people to go about their daily business. However, Thailand being Thailand, it probably will not ever happen. (more…)

NANA PLAZA – WELCOME TO THE NEON JUNGLE
RAINBOW 4 GO-GO BAR, NANA PLAZA, BANGKOK
RAINBOW ROUNDUP – Continuing on our journey into the neon jungle, we decided to check out a couple of the Rainbow Bars. Rainbow 1 was as lively as ever and the line-up remains for the best part very impressive. Most of the go-go girls were sporting mono bikinis, but I spotted a few who were in their birthday suits. Yes indeed, things have finally changed in Nana Plaza. The gang decided to visit Rainbow 2, which is located next to Obsession Bar in the far right corner. Rainbow 2 was never a favourite of mine, because I felt it never created the right atmosphere for Westerners. The amount of open space is partly to blame, but the biggest reason is that it has remained a Jap Trap for many years. However, things have changed and Rainbow 2 has become more farang friendly. The stage was packed with go-go girls and the majority were facially and physically attractive. These Rainbow bar girls know they are cute and sexy, I have never seen mirrors get so much attention!
