Popular Post webfact 81,858 Posted January 27 Popular Post Share Posted January 27 With pandemic under control, officials press ahead with Pattaya rebrand Picture: Sophon Cable TV A leading figure in the hotel industry told the Thai media that now that the pandemic is easing it is time to press ahead with the rebranding of Pattaya. Out is the old image of Pattaya being only about nightlife. In is the idea of Pattaya being a wholesome place for daytime activities. A wholesome place for the Thais as no one is talking about foreign tourism any more in such stories, notes Thaivisa. Picture: Sophon Cable TV Chief of the eastern seaboard arm of the Thai Hotelier's Association Phisut Sae-khu said that signs were good that restrictions will be eased in Pattaya and the resort and Chonburi will soon be out of the red zone. The message was clear that with 14 day quarantine either way soon to be scrapped Pattaya's color would change. But not just that - along comes Pattaya as a horse of a different color, too, as the drive to rebrand the resort from it's old image to a new one continues, Phisut told Sophon Cable TV on Facebook. He expects a big PR drive to woo back tourists (domestic of course) in the second quarter and Songkran. He said that the drive should be to rebrand Pattaya not just as a nighttime destination but one that lives and breathes all day long. Picture: Sophon Cable TV He expects promotions especially from five star hotels to focus on this and their reasonably priced food menus. He acknowledged that many small and medium size hotels had shut. Large establishments were adjusting their business models for the future.

It will be turned into a "museum of Pattaya in its heyday" run by Ripleys for tour parties to walk up and down en-route between the monorail and the beach The girls will be replaced with lifesize mannequins dressed in gaudy costumes You will be able to take pictures with them as if they are sat on your lap The Victoria pub will have a mechatronic drunk falling out of the door, getting back up and staggering back in every 2 minutes Speakers from the "bars" will blare out "hansum man" and "where u come from" as the tour group passes by If you stray too close to the bars a robotic arm tries to drag you in Neo-pattaya as a post covid apocolyptic blade runner with souvenir shops Edited January 27 by crobe 2 14 Link to post Share on other sites

Andy from Kent 1,081 Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 Not to worry. The Missus heard on the Thai News that the government says if things go quickly, Thailand will be back to its "old normal' in THREE YEARS. If things don't go quickly it'll take at least FIVE YEARS. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
