Popular Post Henryford Posted October 24, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted October 24, 2020 I had a walk around on Thursday evening. Pattaya is deader than a ghost town. At least a ghost town has some ghosts. 5 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

khunpa Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 Good to hear. So no need to get more infected foreign tourist in and no reason for the industry to keep whining. I have also heard that Thais spend huge amounts of money, when on holiday. Maybe time for the bar and disco owners to think creative. Like they could turn their locations into food courts. Anyway, great that tourism is back and boosting. Good luck! 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrTuner Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 Bursting eh? I went out on both Thurday and yesterday and only now heard of the festival. Must've been limited to the BKK hotspots, 21 and Central. Nothing unusual up to 2nd road. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So Pattaya has finally achieved what it has always wanted. It's probably more like it was in the 1980s when I first visited. Perhaps not a bad thing. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAFO Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 I get a good laugh out of how brits call it Pattaya...Its so far off of how you really pronounce it. I was just down at a local island on a weekend. Hotels packed and prices GREAT!. Its nice to see domestic tourism. I am in no hurry to have the hordes of tourists back anytime soon.???? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes you wonder how many more westerner tourists they would attract when the boarders open if they kept the prices "GREAT" rather than rise prices for falang, which was sending them elsewhere pre Covid.

PAT AAAY YAAA ???????? Who gives a monkey's. Ignore the troll. As you surmise, it is pronounced, in our 'lower' level at least, Pataayaa.

Most people pronounce it "Pattaya", but it's actually pronounced "Pattaya" or sometimes "Pattaya". What really bothers me is people who pronounce "pronunciation" as "pronounciation". 1 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't wish to be negative, but if Pattaya is bursting with locals streaming out of neighbouring towns then surely that means a loss of revenue from where they came from.... where's the net gain?
