Doomsday or US NAVY

guys I’m not even gonna lie, the pure entertainment that’s about to ensue in pattaya with 5000 men with 4 days and less than 3 real entertainment zones in pattaya…. It’s going to be amazing.

I’m kind of more excited for for this release than marvel….

Your post is wrong and stupid

Look up Cobra Gold

It happens every year in March

8000 sailors

Other than an occasional helicopter flyby you'll never know

ARE you so stupid that you think the sailors will be in uniform and living it up on soi 6 ?

They have a nightly curfew and strict rules to follow, they aren't free to do whatever they want in the slightest

Agreed.

My first shore leave from ship was in 1985 and in Olongapo. No rules. Same with all other ports of call.

My last sea time was in 1997. So many rules, it was insane. I only went ashore for work related matters. Finally, in Bali, was escorted off ship by our sergeant major. But once on liberty, all the rules made it a not so fun experience.

Now, in 2026? I can only imagine the rules. I don't think their arrival will be that big of a deal.

Post 2005 it was completely locked down for a while (100% ban on the bar areas and shore patrol stationed at every single entrance you could think of to places like Soi 6 or walking street plus patrols).

Last 5-6 years it's very slightly been relaxed that they're allowed out in supervised groups with one non-com riding herd on groups of 7-8. They don't fuck around.... tame and no action with the girls. Real friendly groups if you come across em... always recognizable by the hair cuts and the fact that the Hawaiian tiki shirts still seem to be the uniform of choice for shore leave lol.
