Why not double down on its reputation.
Unbeknownst to many (on this forum),Pattaya has a plethora of family friendly activities.
However,it's main draw is it's gorgeous women,debauchery,excellent nightlife,5 star hotels, and jus plain fun that's hard to find anywhere else.
It's a gold mine of a location and brings in tons of tourists.
Plenty of other places to go if Pattaya isn't your thing.
Another reason not to have ultra conservatives not run a government in any country.
