Videos: After the doom and gloom it's Pattaya BOOMTOWN once again!

Pattaya was back with an almighty bang last night - literally!

 

After a week in which both Thais and foreign visitors have been sounding the death knell for one of Thailand's foremost seaside resorts Pattaya was all smiles again.

 

It was the International Fireworks Festival 2019 on Pattaya's main beach in which six countries are competing for honors. 

 

All the doom and gloom of deserted bars and streets was forgotten as a huge crowd thronged the beach and adjacent roads trying to get the best vantage points to view the spectacular world class displays. 

 

 

A video on the Tessakit Pattaya (local council) site showed large numbers of Thai and foreign tourists in the area. 

 

 

One video from Rao Rak Pattaya ("We Love Pattaya") featured the cheers of the crowd as what they thought was the Philippine display coming to an end. 

 

 

Teams from Thailand, Argentina, Canada, the UAE (Dubai) and Germany also took part. 

 

Thai media 77kaoded said that the fireworks were also a celebration of the founding of Pattaya that is marked on November 29th each year.

What is this news that keeps coming out? The actual title in Thai doesn't seem to translate to TVs so I think someone creating these headline titles is either taking the <deleted> or pushing propaganda. Maybe a Pattaya local can do some investigative journalism. I've noticed a few people do videos there on life there. It's a good time to post the truth about Pattaya this winter.

the truth about Pattaya

I moved out of Bangkok twelve years ago because of the traffic jams and pollution.

Roadworks and police banditry have now worsened Pattaya's traffic flow to the point where another move is looking inevitable.

Pattaya is doomed. Look at the photo with the people on the beach. They are standing but not spending. Not a single person on this photo consumes anything. Some don't even watch the fireworks but are busy with their phones. This is the end.

Do you think Thais spend a lot of money on their outing to see the fireworks?

I assume they take their food and drink with them, and maybe a trip to 7-11 for resupply.

With nothing spent in resorts/hotels/bars/restaurants.

No, really I think the country is doomed without addressing the core issues

The Pattaya is dead argument is almost a big a click and comment generator as any sinsot or Thai women are evil discussion. It's not propaganda, it's business.
