Pattaya: Mayor and glitterati out in Walking Street to encourage China to fight the virus!

 

Thai caption: China - Fight on!

Pattaya's well known mayor Sontaya " Big Peh" Khunpluem led City Hall staff and a host of local "celebrities" to Walking Street last night. 

 

The event was to encourage the Chinese nation to stand strong with their Thai friends and fight the coronavirus. 

 

The mayor was joined by such luminaries as Walking Street operators' chief Naris Petchrarat and the tourist police. There was even someone called "Miss Seven". 

 

The odd tourist even got in on the photos including a man in the traditional Pattaya garb of singlet and shorts.

 

Everyone was waving flags as the entourage sent encouragement and love to Wuhan and other places in China via a video message.

Call me cynical, but it rather smacks more of "please come back and bring lots of dollars as soon as you can."

Is the guy far left in the first pic on overstay? Seems to have just clocked the immigration police :)

[mikebell]

Did they find any prostitution?  Countless previous visits didn't.

So what was the proposal on how to fight it?

Along the lines of “stop eating feral animals and behaving the same way”!

How low can a nation of people go for the almighty baht

The police have made me feel safe (knowing that Pattaya is a family friendly city)  by their many years long investigation that has failed to turn up any evidence of prostitution...

" Everyone was waving flags as the entourage sent encouragement and love "

 

Of course they were paid to do just that, especially the "sent love" went well on walking street.

[holy cow cm]

It is so bad that even the lady boys are finding it a hard time to find someone to rip off. Looks to me like they are begging.

So what's the point of going to Walking Street which is totally devoid of Chinese tourists?

With the Chinese hordes gone they could actually set up a photo op in the middle without being run over. Enjoy it while it lasts.

Finally the farangs are getting pampered and feeling welcomed again glad everything is back as it supposed to be.

 

[SiSePuede419]

Here's an idea...

 

Hold a "golf tournament" for cheerleaders.

Appears that a vegetarian diet has a detrimental effect on one's capacity for critical thinking...

Several in Buchao had blatantly put signs in Chinese outside yesterday. 

And they were not saying welcome, come inside...
