webfact 78,773 Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 Pattaya: China's state news agency calls resort deserted and Thais have no money Picture: Kom Chad Luek A report by the Thai arm of the Chinese state news agency Xinhua published pictures and a brief one paragraph report about the desperate state of Pattaya. They said the pictures were taken on Tuesday this week. They showed empty deckchairs, an almost deserted beach and sea. And a lonely farang looking at his phone. Pattaya was once thronging with Chinese especially the beach that became a drop off point for sea tours, notes Thaivisa. Picture: Kom Chad Luek Now Xinhua has said that the closure of the airspace and the borders have left Pattaya deserted and the Thai people with no money. Xinhua is the biggest news organization in China and one of the biggest in the world in terms of the number of correspondents. Picture: Kom Chad Luek Thai media Kom Chad Luek carried the story and provided a link but made no mention of where it came from in the body of their brief report merely mentioning that it was "foreign media".

Popular Post JusticeGB 3,404 Posted September 18, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted September 18, 2020 CCP tells the truth for the first time should be the headline. The Thai Government hasn't realised what damage has been reeked on cities like Pattaya and its workers mainly from Isaan. It will never fully recover and the mayor is eyeing up changing Walking Street into a shopping mall so the character of Pattaya will be gone forever. I remember taking my 6 year old daughter for a walk down Walking Street she just loved all the pretty lights and noise of Walking Street. I probably had different thoughts about it. 9 8 Link to post Share on other sites
