Pattaya Nightlife Scenes, including Soi 6 & Walking Street 9th April

The video begins at Lucky Eye Bar at approximately 9:40 PM on April 9th, where a killer pool game is underway with 17 participants. The rules of killer pool involve potting a ball with one shot to continue, or losing a life if a shot is missed. The host mentions that Candy's Instagram channel was blocked, and encourages viewers to re-add her by searching "CAND.Y" followed by four "C"s. Irina also mentions having issues retrieving her page. The host then sets off, reflecting on the busy traffic and food carts on the soi (street) and reiterating that he will not be filming the following week. He notes that he's prepared with a plastic bag to protect his camera in case of wet patches, recalling water in Soi 7 two nights prior. He observes that Maggie Mae's beer garden seems a bit busier than the previous week, though he gets mixed messages about the overall activity. Three girls are visible but shy away from the camera. The temperature is 30 degrees Celsius, and the past two weeks have been extremely hot, preventing him from even using his bike during the day. He mentions that he now plays pool at "The Snug" on Soi 5, which has air conditioning, instead of Benny's, due to the heat. He also notes that many bars are sparse with customers. Driving to the second road, he recounts a moment where he thought he had turned on his bike's electrics but hadn't. He mentions that traffic was horrendous earlier in the afternoon while getting supplies for Nongshaw, making it difficult to judge the current state of the area. Arriving at Soi 7, he checks for water, finding it mostly dry, but anticipates it might pick up near the bottom where bars are located. He briefly spots girls at Zombies in Looper and mentions Stephen Lee playing at Putea Glow on April 25th, encouraging viewers to check their Facebook page for bookings. He observes the Black Angels bar, which has installed glass doors and windows to keep the interior cooler, highlighting the unbearable daytime temperatures in open bars without air conditioning. His plan is to finish filming there, then cover Soi 6, and finally head to Walking Street, possibly cutting the camera during the drive and resuming on foot. The time is 5 minutes to 10 PM, and the temperature remains 30 degrees. He passes Old Beer, offering 75 baht beer and free pool. He then drives to Soi 8, noting that Bar 7 is very quiet, and greets "Mac" who confirms it's quiet now but was busy an hour ago. He then proceeds to Soi 6, observing that it seems quieter than the previous week. He gets off his bike to walk down the soi, finding the inside of the bars very empty despite the street being easier to walk. He mentions a police crackdown on security guards in town, possibly more focused on Walking Street rather than Soi 6, clarifying that a "crackdown" often means a "chat." He notes the presence of water balloons and water pistols, though mostly not held by the girls yet. He witnesses a "Happy Birthday" celebration. He concludes that Soi 6 is very quiet, making it difficult for businesses to pay their staff, and notes that it seems to have shifted from a daytime to a nighttime venue but lacks its former busyness. He then transitions to Walking Street, rejoining the video near Soi 8. He explains that the main water-throwing day in Pratea is the 19th, but Monomax (a Thai version of HBO) is sponsoring music events on the 17th and 18th to create a three-day event, likely targeting international tourism. He attributes people's reluctance to travel to high fuel costs, noting that diesel in Scotland is much more expensive. He recalls a time when his parents owned a small hotel and he poured flammable liquids at 36 pence a gallon. He observes that the area near Soi 8, which was busy earlier, is now manageable. He points out the original Coconut Bar and notes that he talks less in heavy traffic due to pedestrians, cars, and motorbikes. Upon reaching the Walking Street sign, he highlights the CCTV cameras supported by AI, which can identify individuals and flag those who are wanted, assisting police in tracking down suspects. He then walks down Walking Street, showing "Republic" which offers spirits, beers, and wines for 595 baht for three hours, which he considers a good deal for Walking Street. He points out a dunking booth where girls are ready to be dunked, noting the time is 10:20 PM and the temperature is 31 degrees. He mentions a write-up by "Dave the Rave" about Walking Street, which might be biased towards Bancroft, but notes that some go-go bars have closed down. He points out Fahrenheit a Go-Go and the Candy Shop. He also highlights the Shark Club sign and a different band playing there. He observes that the demographics of Walking Street have changed, which is evident just by listening. He reaches the end of Walking Street, passing a pool bar that has changed its name to Biblos. He concludes his tour of Soi 7, 8, 6, and Walking Street, thanking viewers for joining him. He encourages everyone to be safe, take care, and have fun, emphasizing that "life is just way too short."
