Yes. I'm confused also. Can't figure out what's going on. It would be nice if anybody is in Central Pattaya and can tell if there are barges out in the sea like in previous years?????

thurien Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 (edited) <Most attendees were families who had booked via websites and social media, he added Source: Sophon Cable> this is the biggest BS I ever heard about an International Boat Show per se and especially about the one in filth and thicket of Pattaya: No overseas skipper ever comes here with wife and kids! The boats are HIS hobby and for sleazy, sticky Pattaya nights he prepared plenty of cash to get a leg over... that might, however, not go for a few Ivans and Abdullahs...
