  If half of the bars in Pattaya closed tomorrow there would still be too many bars there. &nbsp;<br><br>Bars open and close all the time. The increased prices mean that punters stop coming or come and don&apos;t even bother with bars.

  What piss me off is when you buy a lady drink and they come with a shot that they empty in 2 sec and then leave.

  Pattaya grievances include, Bar fines that change depending on what time it is, Girls wanting you to buy lady drinks for their friends as well , Bill paddling and girls that will get drinks and then tell you they don&apos;t go with customers, the current business model is not working and hopefully bars like Candy Club will become common place.

  1. People drink less alcohol today due to health reasons <br>2. The average Girls are older compared to 2018<br>3. Prices increased <br>Bar owners thought they can increase the prices &nbsp;as much as they want &nbsp;because &nbsp;they are controlling &nbsp;the market but they forgot &nbsp;we have freelancers for less money and drinks from 7/11

  Overpricing is 100% responsible for decline of Pattaya bars. There are alternatives to bargirls but they have failed to realise this.

  Because Thailand is probably the only place that gets away in selling water for 200 Bhat basically most lady drinks are water with a drop cordial. And on top of that itd about 200 ml its gone in 10nminutes.

  Most of the women in the bars are old and overweight, I asked a foreign bar owner why didn&apos;t have younger women, he said a lot of guys prefer them bigger and older! so just look for freelancers, don&apos;t leave money in the bars.
