That place is basically a forum for farang bar/restaurant owners and katoey lovers (who are definitely not bi/gay, just ask them).  Say anything bad about either and you tend to get banned.

 

It seems to attract lots of wide eyed clueless newbies.

I stopped posting on Pattaya Addicts several years ago.

Their frustrated (mostly Australian) moderators seem to envy and even dislike expats.

On Pattaya Gogos I also stopped contributing about a year ago, because of their cherry-picking attitude and their sometimes childish behavior.

It seems to have gone very quiet since October - have the authorities stopped for high season? Anybody hear anything recently?

 

I did notice that the previous 1 month minimum rental signs on a couple of places had disappeared before Xmas...........

 

I also heard the other day that they are now checking bar/alcohol licence renewals so perhaps that is the new current priority..........

Full stop, even with legal proceedings against those who were raided.

 

Waiting for next year elections i am guessing

Not sure if it was in this thread or one of the many other on hotel raids back then, I mentioned that there's a newly built 'small' hotel in my soi owned by ex-politician, now that the hotel has been opened half a year, and now the owner is now in power at Pattaya City hall so there's that

No one stopping anyone from opening a new one. People do not apply for hotel license but room for rent license.

 

People do not apply for hotel license, because authorities do not issue it and if they do, it takes a few years and building approval prior to construction. It must have been approved specifically  for hotel.

 

All existing buildings operating as hotels, can not get approved even if they meet all the criteria like green space, parking space, 2 stair cases, distance from other buildings and distance from the road. Once you have managed to pass all their new silly requirements, they hit you with what was original construction plan? and you back to square one 

 

Now, if "hotel" is owned by someone connected, if raids were to take place, owner knows about it and either closes the door so it appears closed or police simply skip that business.
