webfact Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 Video: Pattaya will be Thailand's "Miami" FILE photo An upbeat video produced by Thai media Manager said that Pattaya is set to be Thailand's Miami. All it will take is the long awaited tipping of a mountain of sand on the beaches that have suffered years of erosion. Manager said that agreements between Pattaya City Hall and the harbor master's office and the final sourcing of the sand after a long wait mean that work will start in April. The public had had their suspicions they said. But now Thailand was to get Miami "for sure". All the equipment and supplies are just about ready and what people have been waiting ten years for is finally set to happen. Dreams are at last set to become reality as Pattaya can be mentioned in the same breath as the US resort in Florida.

Anythingleft? Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 Depends entirely on which part of Miami they are trying to emulate, looks to me that they are at more advanced stages than they realise.Sent from my SM-N950F using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These jagoffs could not have chosen a bit better city of comparison, Miami is a drug infested dump. For Miami, we found that the violent crime rate is one of the highest in the nation, across communities of all sizes (both large and small). Violent offenses tracked included rape, murder and non-negligent manslaughter, armed robbery, and aggravated assault, including assault with a deadly weapon.

Lemonltr Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 I earlier lived for many years in lower Isaan and toured recently. Most towns there are well run, clean with decent wide pavements. Way ahead of Pattaya. North Pattaya is the best kept area but the nearer one gets to South Pattaya the more it deteriorates. South Pattaya is run down and chaotic by comparison. The first thing noticeable is the vomit inducing smell coming out of the drains. It's been like that for many years. Miami? In your dreams.

jacko45k Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 I thought someone said it was the wrong type of sand! Just get on with it! Does Miami also stink horrendously at one end of the Beach Rd too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peperobi Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 Why did they like to be a bad copy of a bad city like Miami? Enjoy the real Pattaya, just clean up and eliminate all the criminals there. Pattaya is Pattaya! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chang_paarp Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 Does this mean Pattaya will get a trained, professional police force, a planning department that enforces the laws and planned funded and completed infrastructure? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we'd better get all the whinges out of the way now, preemptively, and shorten the length of the thread: Oh, you forgot realists. Just because in reality Pattaya is one of the worst cities in Thailand, and you see it in the news every day. can´t hardly say I am wrong there. Some people like to live close to crime, drugs, mental problems, power drinkers and heavy stink and pollution though, and I guess it´s nothing wrong with that, if the person has the right mindset to fit in. Regarding the sand and all the beautiful dreams for this unique, one of a kind, world class oasis of a five star family resort. i guess that was just a dream, just a dream.....

It might even attract a few more soi dogs; that should make it easier when the culling begins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
