Popular Post Bugsy777 Posted January 15, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted January 15, 2020 The baht buses are great transport, and cheap. The ladyboys can play pool with you, drink with you, funny as f***. Sure, they try and get a little more but if you're silly enough, you deserve it. Whenever it's time to move on I just politely explain that, yes they look beautiful, but I'm into girls. No drama, ever. There's lots of scams but I guarantee that more money has gone to the sick buffalo than was ever scammed in the bars. I love Pattaya, seedy as it is. But, yeah, it's now so bloody expensive. They're killing the golden goose. 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain 776 Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 There is only ne way. Phase 1: Completely demolish every building from Second Rd to the beach. Install all ne drainage and a proper sewer system Put all utilities underground. Completely rebuild EVERYTHING underground, then all new buildings: Phase 2: Do same from Second Rd to Sukhumvit.

androokery Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 Yes, Pattaya may be a little dirty, it's not entirely safe and you may be the victim of a rip-off - but it's just about the most honest place in Thailand. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I can sometimes understand the single Thai incidents and many individual Thai citizens actions. That based on the fact of Pattaya as a magnet for criminality and slime of the earth extremely rotten and unwanted foreigner the city seem to attract. If this comment was only based on them, then they could let Pattaya rot and build an unbreakable dome over the city. Ok, as a good thing. I also personally know a bunch of good guys that have settled down in Pattaya, so that does not go for them or anybody else that knows how to behave. it´s just that the city unfortunately seems to attract to much of the wrong people. I'm sure English is not your first language, but...what? What kind of people would be attracted to a place famous for it's loose morals?? Do you live in Pattaya? If so, why? Why did your good guy friends choose to settle there? How does one define "know how to behave"? Does that include taking a girl upstairs discreetly? Is walking with her hand in hand misbehaving? I mean, many people would consider walking around, parading your lady of the night, rather distasteful. Whereas the protagonist may consider that he is acting as a gentleman should. What about the people involved in the business? What kind of people would involve themselves in such a business in the first place? Pattaya is what it is. Neither one nor the other. It may have a beach, but I would never consider entering the water. When people can no longer make money there, they will move on. For me, this is the real issue. Greed and exploitation. You seem rather too keen to throw stones at others. Often used as a vehicle to distract attention from oneself. Personally, I visit because I have a non-Asian girlfriend who works in a normal job there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still have no idea why some baht buses half full drive past and refuse to pick people up How does that qualify as a scam? Because the people on-board have chartered the songthaew to take them off the normal route, directly to their destination. Some songthaew try to seek out this kind of customer, as opposed to acting like a bus. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DUNROAMIN Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 I did my last visit to Pattaya earlier this year, come to the conclusion, this place is a dump, the above comments are justified, filthy beaches, bay full of tour boats , you can barely see the ocean, dingy looking streets, over priced to the max, sorry Pattaya, game over, you milked it for too long. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post newnative Posted January 15, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted January 15, 2020 3 hours ago, impulse said: But you'll notice that even the best known casinos in Las Vegas get torn down and rebuilt when they get too old and decrepit. Something that should have happened decades ago to a lot of Pattaya. But they refuse to re-invest in the resource. Well, some rebuilding is being done. A huge swatch of 'old and decrepit' was torn down and Terminal 21 was built. That, in turn, spurred even more redevelopment, including renovation at Tiffanys, the new Amari addition, Ozo Hotel, Brighton Hotel, Palazzo, and lots of remodeling and upgrades of smaller establishments in the area. And, it is ongoing. Nearby, several very large condo and hotel projects are getting started for upper 3rd Road, including one with Hilton's involvement. The draw? Well, one of the projects boast its only 700 meters to T21. Naklua/Wong Amat is getting quite lively with new boutique hotels, the massive Centre Point 2 announced, and lots of families being drawn to that area of Pattaya. Meanwhile, the city is finally doing some road improvements, Pattaya Beach has been widened and is being kept clean, and Jomtien is getting a hospital. Yes, I would still not swim in the ocean but there are some positive things happening. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
