Remember though - dont use the same table, and wear a different hat/shirt - just in case the BiB have a look inside or take a photo and then come back an hour later   Extremely unlikely I know as the BiB never do any real police work without photographers nearby

I hear there are "restaurants" popping up all over the place.

Yeah, but if they took pictures and decided to go back to the little bars in CM, good thing here is word would get out fast they are coming back if they were walking, but swooping in on motorcycles is a different story. But on the real other hand, they all have camera phones and I wouldn't put it past them to start getting some pocket spending money for their holiday festivities or plainly just go by these places prior and say if you make a donation now then you and your customers will not have to make one later.

Guests can stay a maximum of one hour only.

Looks like a chance for a Pub Restaurant crawl then …..

two bars have been open on soi 80 here in Hua Hin for most of the year. the same ones that never seem to close. open means the rollup door is up halfway and the lights are out. sort of romantic. 

today riding by on my hog i would say 20% of the bars are open, one or two might have sold food before covid and none of the others are selling food now. the rest of the bars are out of business. 

i try not to go into bintabaht area. 

blissfully no music being played or very low volume.
