From what I've learned about Pattaya's Walking Street and from what I know of the typical lack of respect of, let's say, lower-end Thai and farang males, there will be nothing like 'funeral-week' respect shown in this town and probably many others. If the police are to make any attempt at enforcing the behaviour codes, they are going to be very, very busy. More likely, of course, is that they'll simply not bother and the country's lawlessness will get one step worse, instead of better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DefaultName Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 Just tell us, in words of one syllable and we'll comply. Being imprecise over exactly what's allowed and on what dates & times only leads to confusion. Personally, I had a lot of respect for the late King and, in the western tradition, I'd like to hoist a few in his name - as I would for British royalty.

brewsterbudgen Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 Because deep down they are worried about the adverse effect it could have on tourism if they came out and said they probably will be closing down many venues On the contrary I think the instructions are quite clear and are deliberately calibrated to minimise the effects on tourism. Some shops and tourist attractions will close on 26 October but will be operating normally on all the other days. There is no restriction on alcohol sales (so far) and while entertainment venues will have to operate in a subdued manner and parties may be cancelled, life will be near normal especially in the tourist resorts.

Even in Pattaya the Thai Royal Family is well respected (I guess), but the point is that October 2017 seems to be another month of mourning and NOBODY seems to able to say what it implies. THAT causes confusion, irritation, loss of money and yes finally....people loose respect for the cause of the mourning period. The only very vague thing that is actually mentioned is: "tone down"........... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This residential area has some of the worst noise pollution in Thailand, coming from an increasing number of bars. The police are doing vrtually nothing to stop the problem and do not seem to even care. I wonder if the military would stop the noise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smedly Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 and while we're at it about noise and respect - how about the police taking a serious attempt at sorting out the ever growing number of scooters that are running around pattaya city with absolutely no exhaust. not only is it disrespectful but it is also turning pattaya into a very noisy city and will drive people away Does the tourism authority really want people deciding not to come here because a load of supposed grown men think a scooter is cool when the exhaust is effectively removed....................the authorities need to sort this childish behavior out .......................... there is nothing cool about it and is disrespectful someone about a year ago decided it was cool to remove the effective exhaust from a scooter...............yes a scooter, and that the sound was somehow cool (Thai childish mentality) ....we now have a lot of supposed adults running around Pattaya on their scooters (with no exhaust) thinking that loud is cool....oh listen to how loud mine is, oh yes well if people in hotels and various residencies here on holiday didn't have to listen to it then ....hey no problem. take it out of the streets and make all the noise you want. The authorities really need to get on top of this craze............it is disrespectful to make so much noise right now and is unacceptable any time....................my scooter is loud............well yes it will be, my lawn mower is loud....well yes it will be ........................if you remove the exhaust and act like a total (deleted) and somehow think it is cool The police really need to get a handle on this especially now, and going forward .......well I feel a hub coming - Pattaya the noisiest hub in Asia, the most scooters with the exhaust removed....the most uncool childish people that actually think a scooter with no exhaust is cool................it (deleted) isn't on topic ? well yes it is, because my right to quite ambience respect reflection and serenity is constantly being interrupted by some tosser on a scooter with no exhaust Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's like they have no understanding of the internet and how information is transmitted instantly. They closed the FMP without warning, and then the soldiers harassed young people that had a private party instead. That's going to have a big effect once it hits social media. I hope we will be able to find out how many people cancelled holidays in LOS because of that, but no one that was coming to party will still be doing so, unless they can't get a refund.
