Reply #3 obe's post THAILAND UPDATE
Just finishing a 4 week trip between Bangkok and Pattaya.
Pleasantly surprised that Thailand is back open, and fully open for the most part. Except for the places that didn't survive the Covid shutdown, most bars & shopping spots are open. Things are normal except for virtually all Thai's still wearing masks ... everywhere. Look around the malls and mass transit and almost all Thais are masked, while most Farangs are not.
Lot's of new, nice small bars have popped up ... BKK Soi 7, 8 and 11, and all over Pattaya. Definitely a buyers market and all were fully staffed with ladies, while I would say customer load is only up to 80 to 90%.
Above is IMHO, but based on a lot of walking around. One thing for sure is the Thai people are as lovely and friendly as ever, and glad to be back to (almost) normal.
