I see this comment has been ignored by just about everyone....Not even so much as a like...... The most important question here...... Why? Why are they lowering the customers protection to a measly pathetic 1 million? Why? Very very good question.... No doubt they got their eye on 500,000 and then 250,000.......Don't laugh.....It was 25,000,000 million not so long ago.....

The ferry was just to expensive....... Lets see, it would cost a family of 4 about 9600 baht round trip... Or A family of 4 could go to Koh Larn for 240 baht round trip..... The ferry ran with no more than 30-40-50% occupancy most of the time.. With loads of overhead costs....

Nonsense Pattaya always needs more malls, just look at Bangkok....Bangkok is absolutely saturated with malls, yet they keep building more......Pattaya only has about 10 malls...It's just shameful how deprived the people of Pattaya are mall wise...

People just don't realize how VAST VAST HUGE China's manufacturing is......Most things on Lazada come from China.....Until manufacturing moves the world needs China...

Why not take the family and the kids to Walking Street? The Russians dont seem to have a problem taking their families...

Who said me...I was talking about others...

Not every one wants a vax...

Koh Larn was open but I bet no one came......So I guess to save face they decided to close again..... If you remember Koh Larn has repeatedly said to be covid free over and over and over......But now they pop up??

Ok what's special about Pattaya then?......A few malls a few tourist attractions (if they are not bankrupt by now) and and and nothing else....

This is 100% correct.....There are LOADS and LOADS of beaches better than Pattaya beach......Pattaya has NOTHING special except sex....

So is it time (yet) to start a new thread discussing which food handouts have the best food? And which abandoned beer bars are the best for living in?

I think this is 100% rubbish, fake numbers......Sure loads of Thais dont have 1 million in the bank but no possible way only 2% of Thais only have 1 million in the bank..

With so many 7-11s closed, you would think the remaining ones would be overflowing with stuff...

I can't see Bamboo Bar ladies using a app....They dont start getting pretty till after you have had 2-3 beers.....

I have ordered lots of stuff by regular shipping the last few years.....Based on my experience your odds are 50-60% there will be No, or minimal extra charges.....20-30% you will need to pay reasonable extra charges.....20% you will need to pay unreasonable extra charges..........It's honestly a <deleted> shoot, you never know.. Thailand is a bad bad place for quality smokes unless your very well off,and don't mind paying lots of $$$....

I would say the most serious problem we are all facing is my condos swimming pool is closed, and I can't drink beer on the beach..... But seriously..... When they force business to close and offer zero financial support....It does not take Einstein to figure out what will happen.... The unpleasant conclusion drawn from this is, what's happening is just as it's meant to happen...

I think they honestly dont give a rats-azz about the deck chair vendos, the deck chair vendors have never been treated that well..... No, I think the dislike for shade trees and seating is because, they don't want people hanging out relaxing and socializing on the beach....Which is exactly what was happening before 2013 when the beach promenade was a beautiful place, that everyone loved, with loads of shade and seating...... Cut down all the shade trees, plant a bunch of shadeless Palm trees, remove all the seating..........And Wa-la.......No one goes to or hangs out on the beach any more in the daytime because its scorching hot most of the year and there is no place to sit....... This shadeless beach it looks like they will be making is just another nail in Pattaya's coffin.... No one and I mean absolutely no one wants a promenade without seating or shade.....

This maybe true but the Palm Trees that they are in love with and plant everywhere are the type that don't give much shade at all....

Ok maybe there have been a few but in past years the frequency of fallers/jumpers was unbelievable, especially for a city the size of Pattaya...

Speaking of suicides....... Has anyone noticed that no one in the news has fallen, sliped, been pushed or joined the Pattaya flying club in many many months now...... Rona seems to have put the kibosh on the flying club... Where as before it was about one every week or two or three, and it was that way as long as I remember....

Well to be fair Bali Hi is pretty far from where most people live....I would ride a motorbike too if I was going there....

I think there are almost no commercial flights to India right now.....I have not seen a single Indian tourist in ages....

I don't have to go anywhere Soi Bukow is Home Sweet Home for me....

Agreed......This place will be looking like Detroit or Beirut in another year,,,,

Don't worry Sir, the government is working extra hard to make sure we beat the hard times of ww2 by a long shot.....You just need to be patient and give them time...
