It appears to be business as usual on Pattaya’s favorite entertainment street.
Soi 6, a once-private street filled from end to end with bars and traditional massage parlors, is once again thriving with working girls, food, trinkets and clothes vendors earning a living from the vibrant nightlife.
Asian and European tourists flock to the street starting in the early afternoon, some just enjoying a drink or two, while some go upstairs for a relaxing massage.
One beauty salon worker identified only as “May” said her revenue is up, as the bargirls come in many times during the day and night for their makeup and hairstyling.
