I first went to Pattaya in 1970 and again in 1971 & 1972. There were 2 hotels at that time. The Pattaya Palace and the Nipa lodge. A third hotel opened not far from the Pattaya Palace but I don't recall the name. There was also an R & R Center which rented bungalows to American GI's on R & R from the Vietnam war. There was one very good restaurant on the beach called I believe Dolf's. i don't recall any bars at that time but there may have been a couple. Prostitution didn't appear until much later. The water was clean and fishing boats were available to take you to Koh Larn where they would clean and cook what you caught along the way with drop lines. Pattaya was a nice place at that time. Prostitution was centered in Bangkok especially around Patpong .
Very sad but could have easily been prevented had the parents taught the children about the dangers of riding ma motorcycle. I live in Udon Thani and this is nothing new. To make matters worse there are no traffic police on the streets to "enforce" the laws. The parents should be arrested and prosecuted.
The RTP are the absolute cause of all these road deaths & accidents because they don't do their job enforcing the traffic laws/rules. Welcome to the Third World.
The Brits taught the Israelis how to kill and terrorize the Palestinians many years ago. Israel thinks it has free reign to do as it likes when it comes to the Palestinians which they don't consider to be human. Personally I intentionally boycott anything made/sold by Israel because I look at the Israeli government as being less than human!!
