Traditionally Europeans flock to Thailand for the cold season, however this year tight budgets are forcing foreigners to stay home. Already shops, bars, and hotels depending on the holiday trade are sensing a drastic downturn in sales and the national airport is already reporting a 33% per cent decrease in arrivals. Everyone is going to be hurt, however this hasn’t stopped Pattaya bar-owners from raising the price of barfines for the Christmas season.
“We have to make sure the girls stay in the shop or else no one will be there.” One Walking Street go-go owner professed to his clientele.
So look for empty streets, cheap hotels, and expensive dates with the girl of your choice.
Sounds like fun to me.
