Central Pattaya, 9th April nightlife scenes incl Diana & Honey

The video captures a weekly ride around town on Thursday, April 9th, just before 9 PM, leading up to Songkran. The host notes there won't be a video next week due to Songkran and his camera not being waterproof. He begins the tour by showing various locations, starting with Octopussy on the right, where the girls are a bit shy, especially when he cycles fast. He mentions being in town 20 minutes early and finding it generally quiet, although Tree Town wasn't much different from normal. He recalls asking why Indians walk the road and receiving an unhelpful reply about Mumbai. Current exchange rates are provided: American dollar at 31.82, Euro at 37.10, British pound at 42.65, and Australian dollar at 22.2. A lottery ticket seller ducks away while being filmed. The host then encounters someone asking for a "smudge," a new term for him, before continuing the tour. He acknowledges a previous audio complaint and has adjusted his microphone placement to reduce rubbing. He describes the town as very quiet, with not enough people for major incidents. He recounts a story about a foreigner on a motorbike with a tiger on the back who sped down a soi, sideswiping another bike and knocking someone off. The foreigner was caught after four or five days, but the outcome of such incidents is often unknown. He also mentions an earlier roundup of ladyboys, speculating they were released due to lack of charges, suggesting it was an attempt to scare them. Despite the quietness of the town, traffic remains busy. The host points out a spot that's becoming popular as a "mini coconut bar" on Second Road. He believes the motorbike incident's perpetrator was arrested on Wednesday. He notes that even the big motorbikes that usually race in Pratamnak are gone, either caught or having left after a few weeks. The motorbike rental business is extensive. He observes the quietness of a specific area on the left, noting the "funny massage" which he believes is number one, with three locations now. He spoke to Phil from Rum Rum, who reported steady business, having good nights often. The Rock Factory appears very quiet. News about weed shops is discussed, with new regulations requiring medical licenses, expected to reduce the number of shops to around 1800. He recalls that a motor show a couple of weeks prior attracted 1.8 million visitors, with 132,907 cars sold, representing 21% of annual sales. BYD was the biggest seller, closely followed by Toyota. He interacts with several people, including Frank and Steve, and a person who recognizes him from YouTube. He plans to film his soi six video and then Walking Street, which he doesn't particularly enjoy filming. Dave the Reeve had commented on how quiet Walking Street was. The host passes Candy Club, a sponsor of his videos for at least a couple of years, noting it's quiet but will pick up. He spoke to the owner, Grant, who confirmed business is down but not critically so. He buys a snack for his wife, Nong, who likes lottery tickets. He mentions a subscriber named Robert who has been unsubscribed by YouTube twice, encouraging viewers to subscribe as the channel relies on members and Candy Club. He met people before filming who all confirmed the town's quietness. He encounters someone offering a "free" service, which he likens to scams in Paris where money is eventually demanded. He observes that many people enjoy simply sitting and having coffee, taking in the town's atmosphere. The girls at Coyote are in new outfits, and the Rock Factory has more people than earlier. He greets the girls at Annie Jack's, who also confirm it's quiet tonight. He clarifies Songkran dates: the actual Songkran day in Thailand is the 15th, but in Pattaya, Wan Lai is always on the 19th. He has a plastic cover for his camera because water splashing started two days ago on Soy 7. He sees people in Triangle Bar and notes that Walking Street is very quiet, with many businesses in the market struggling due to high costs. The ladyboys on Chayapun are less shy than those on Elk-e-Metal. He discusses the New Year celebrations, noting that banks will be closed Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday next week for a national holiday, reopening on the 19th in Pattaya. Different towns celebrate on different days, with Pattaya on the 19th and Vangsuri on the 20th. He observes the chaotic traffic. He enters Elke Metro, where he usually gauges how busy it is. Fever bars are even quieter, possibly because many expats with Thai wives leave town for Songkran to visit villages. He meets John and Andrew, noting Andrew's "pearly whites" as a dentist. Lacey Billabong is busy enough. He navigates through congestion caused by parked motorbikes. Ladyboys on the right cover their faces to avoid the camera. He meets a fan who has been watching his videos for two years and has been coming to the area for 12 years, but this is their first time meeting. The host advises everyone to be safe, take care, and have fun, as life is too short. He concludes by saying goodbye until next time.
