rooster59 Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 Pattaya as Miami? You're 'aving a laugh suggests Thai media. Images: Sophon Cable TV Sophon Cable TV, that has been highly critical of the mess in Pattaya in the last month, poured scorn on suggestions this week that Pattaya ranks alongside such holiday luminaries as Miami. After photo-shopped pictures of pristine beaches, clutter free sidewalks and no hanging wires went viral online, Sophon came up with their own collection of images snapped in one corner of the resort. And these, they said, presented the reality of what tourists will find in Pattaya. The pictures showed: * Trash including bottles and drinks containers strewn about * Loads of what looked like sandbags or cement piled high spoiling any view * Great lumps of concrete ready to catch any unwary pedestrians on the sidewalk * Decrepit corrugated iron huts cluttering the beach * Trash and flotsam and jetsam littering the sand and finally.... * Workers who might have been landscaping to make the place more beautiful having an extended siesta. Sophon said that this was how Pattaya looked today. They also mentioned on their Facebook site that since 2004 on a 3 kilometer stretch from the dolphin roundabout to Walking Street, the authorities were said to have spent 250 million baht on burying unsightly wires.

mikebell Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 With all the money flowing into Pattaya you'd think the authorities could afford working sidewalks; proper parking; a police force; sand; litter bins; drains.

gamini Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 Pattaya atrracts the worst dregs of society. Pimps, criminals and very lowlife residents (sexpats) and a pretty sordid sex scene. Its biggest tourist attraction is its shear decadance. So how can it possibly be any thing else unless all these kind of people leave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zaZa9 Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 It doesnt matter who the tourists are. Pattaya gets the revenue from tourism , and its government is tasked with making it as attractive as possible with that income. Instead those charged with keeping the environs clean and improving things are lazy and worthless individuals that are simply not doing their jobs.

newnative Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 I've been to Miami enough times to know it's not a place where I'd want to live. Too big, too expensive, too congested, and too dangerous. I love an ocean view; it will cost you an arm and a leg in Miami--in high condo fees and expensive hurricane insurance, not to mention higher condo prices. My ocean view here in Pattaya only costs me about $78 USA dollars a month in condo maintenance fees. Same year-round warm weather as Miami but much cheaper--and a city that is more the size of what I like. But, that's just my preference. Different strokes for different folks.
