They also didn’t factor in the Thai mentality. Cheap rent means more profit can be made by charging the same prices as before. 
 

I can’t see this area targeting Indian clientele, if they did, they’d never succeed. How could they make money with 6 Indian chaps sharing 1 beer ????

I, for one, am hoping this project will include some other good food retail options. 

 

Such as an up market delhicatessen.

Thought the plan was to change pattaya. How exactly does adding more bars change it ?

Depending on police cooperation, lower prices, and a sprinkle of A+ talent, it could put the fun factor back in Pattaya nightlife. An advertising campaign of "Pattaya is back!" would do wonders.

Change Pattaya by putting gogo bars in a mall of course.

      Next please put gogo dancing in Fast food restaurants , Coffee shops, & lastly why not at a bank?

I am wondering when promoters in tourist areas in Thailand will think outside the sex and booze area of entertainment?

It shows a lack of thought, and inability to feel that anything more than sex and alcohol is of interest for tourists.

Sad reflection on society

You forget who the mayor is.

I was wondering how this would fit in with the Pattaya family centric idea until I realised that it is indeed a family place. Kids can go to the cinema while mum does the shopping and banking, while dad can slope away for a cheap beer and some nooky.

Sounds like how it worked for the Japanese visitors many years ago, they sent their ladies off shopping whilst they went to places like soi six,they had no children to entertain though.

Uttar Pradesh. Relevant to Pattaya - once over the border it's not far to Lahore.

For afters, Pune and custard. Ahmedabad decision to use that one.

Can't work out if that was a misprit, or you have a worse sense of humour than me?

I just moved from Pattaya to DaNang. Now I have one more reason not to return.

I think they'll better staff these bars with BR gals, the ones the do 2000 bt ST deals with groups of 6 or more Indian dudes.

I think you’ll find that most people look forward to getting laid and drunk on their holidays, regardless of whether they find the company at the resort or bring their own.

Sounds like a Flash in the Pan from some kid who just graduated with a Business Degree and Big Ideas but has Not Thought those Ideas Through to completion.

Competing with so many established businesses in the same area that already have cheap prices and good hospitality does not seem like a good business decision.

I have a vision in my mind of the empty properties with building foundations along 2nd Road between Soi 5 and Soi 6.

"so many established businesses in the same area that already have cheap prices and good hospitality" - that was a long time ago.

Indeed.

 

Article says all appropriate licenses and contracts have been signed with the local authorities. And the funding all comes from to Indians located in India.

 

Hmmm, Thai 51% ownership? Incoming large investments being checked for laundering etc?

 

All this publicity is likely to attract interest in Bangkok.

Naan is an Indian flat bread, so to use "naan" is a play on words with "Nana." Welcome to Asia.

I think it could have just been a rush of blood to the headline writer's head.... type O

If they keep the “nice” businesses visible at the front, and put the “naughty” ones inside, out of sight from the road, including some that move from Walking Street for cheaper rents then the authorities can claim they have cleaned up Walking Street.

Aha the coverup !!

The front will probably be a bunch of those Indian tailor shops.

Will soi 6 also getting revitalized?

[SiSePuede419]

You misunderstood.

 

It's Nanuu Plaza.

That was plan A [which has been shelved]

This is plan B another re-invention, but of the old idea... beer & sex sells.
The best they can come up with to save Pattaya from the gutter is another "Nana copy" & Indians

what they don't understand is that as many as it may attract, the same will stay away.
I don't think they've thought this through & done the maths.
Cheap charlie Indian haggling a price for a massage
or
A family of  4 on a real holiday.

I bet a fancy tourists only casino could worked better on that location.

I think you may be wrong, people these days are little more educated than the former sex tourists.

Not to mention the smell of rotten garbage, plastic everywhere, and a general attitude of the only thing that matters is you money

Naan Plaza. That in a nutshell is the extent of English use/comprehension here, one word four letters (the same letter used twice); and, manage to misspell that word.
