    It's all up to vaccine effectiveness. But they will redevelop walking street. They are doing road works now. New look Pattaya with monorail. Bar stool farang will be relocated. They will boot the bar owners. Kings land no chanout. Adios amigo 

     

    Many have had the same predictions over the years and they all been wrong .

    "But they will redevelop walking street"............Redevelop Pattaya`s biggest tourist attraction to what ?

    That will never happen because money talks.................thank God ???? !

    Not relevant and it's fact not fiction. Secondly Thaksin was in touch with the way Thailand was. His red big big difference. Not even relevant. Prayut hated all those people. That's fact not fiction. Hence no assistance during covid and people hungry in Pattaya. Published across media TV. Besides that l know as l stated

     

    Thaksin presided over the first early closings and regulations off nightlife all those years ago,but it still managed to survive despite all this.

     

    (I wasn`t speaking about social policies here,but longtime effect on tourism ???? )

    I will say this now. I know the Thai army or gov. Which ever you wish. They did do there best in some respects. But They wanted to kill off Pattaya. That is the truth. I thought thus week 1. It was only when a Thai official l know through Australian boxing told me the truth. Its so very very sad. For me due to the fact l lived there for 5 years. If you ask Bob Arum. Who are the high rollers..He will tell you only the Chinese. But everything comes at a cost later. This gov never made any attempts to keep the entertainment districts alive. Because they were waiting on the Chinese.

    They have destroyed many lives and believe there still popular.

     

    I`ve heard the same doom and gloom predictions ever  since the time Thaksin first came to power.

    Phuket doesn't have a taxi system. 

     

    The system there is criminals controlling the essential service, transport, and being able to charge whatever they want, because they know tourist must pay it. 

     

    In many cases, the taxi from Phuket airport to a hotel in Phuket cost more than the flight to Phuket. 

     

    It's a disgrace.  

     

    It`s a system,although it is corrupt and useless  ???? !!

    Hopefuly it will enlighten those who decide to hunt them for shells and meat.

    I can recall when you could purchase cans of turtle soup around the world. 

    Turtle soup from freshly caught turtles were a mainstay in many restaurants in tropical locations in the 70s.

     

    ..................and also in the 90`s,unfortunately.

    I'd like to see Pattaya returned to the Thais and geared up to be family friendly. Get rid of 90% of the bars and the senior citizen sexual catering. Move it all 50 k outside of the town to keep all the trash in one area and out of  Pattaya proper. 

    That will never happen because that`s just a bad idea and not at least,a very booooooring concept ???? !

    Good question. I think you're on the right track there.

     

    I personally know a former bomber pilot stationed at U-Tapao during the war. Now 82, he's normally (stuck in the USA at the moment) living in BKK with his Thai wife whom he met working in a shop outside the base. Who says a marriage to a Thai can't last?

     

    He's continued to visit Pattaya over the years and still does once in a while, too. We've discussed this exact subject several times and he's confirmed exactly what I've posted earlier. Nothing really to do in Pattaya then, no sex scene, a few places to stay, quite boring. He likes it much, much better now.???? Or did, pre-COVID. I sent him the recent depressing vid on Sois 7 - 8.

     

    We've also had some previous threads on the subject here and a contemporary serviceman said the same thing amid the usual chorus of ignorant, simple-minded knee jerks and blusters from the clueless.???? I'm not going to bother looking those up those old threads, however. The tourist brochure histories will never be updated, so this same discussion will inevitably recur.

     

    And here is a discussion  on TV some years ago that confirmes this :

    I remember similar incidents happening at least 5-6 times in Pattaya and Phuket.  So why doesn't Thailand require armed security guards at places where guns can be rented?

    In those cases it was suicides at the fire ranges.No armed security coulld have prevented that.

    My first thought.Nothing baffles me in thailand.Its against the law to own a air rifle.All the years i visited and lived thailand.I did not know there are shooting ranges for the public.Or was this a police shooting range.

    Plenty of fire ranges open to the public here.
