TONIGHT'S OPERATIONAL RECOMMENDATION
Covered bars at LK Metro (Soi Buakhao area)
Why tonight: Thursday night under the TMD Eastern forecast for thundershowers means covered seating is safer than fully exposed decks. LK Metro stays open with shelter options; Walking Street is open but pavement can get wet.
QUESTIONS PEOPLE ARE ASKING RIGHT NOW
Is Koh Larn cancelled today?
No fresh departure ban was found. Services operate under weather watch. TMD says Gulf waves can exceed 2 metres in thundershowers. Check the pier, beach flags and Tourist Police 1155 before you buy a ticket.
Are the main bars closed because of the rain forecast?
No confirmed closures or renames for Club Insomnia, Horizon Rooftop, Stones House, Siam@Siam rooftop, Pattaya Beer Garden, The Pier, V Lounge Ice Bar, FFL!X, Hops Brew House or Sky Gallery. Prefer covered seating if a cell passes.
Will Pattaya flood tonight?
No new major city flood report overnight. Low roads such as Sukhumvit south, Soi Buakhao and South Pattaya can still pond after a cell under the Eastern forecast. A rider was swept into a drain in Banglamung late yesterday; avoid moving water.
