It's a terrific space with awesome views of the bay, islands, and the Pattaya shore and skyline. Lots of potential being ignored. No. Call me naive, but how about they are taking the time to plan? Over developing a place with a great view or allowing big condo towers to be built that blocks the view out over the water is the worst thing they can do. The giant condo that is SW of the BH pier is a prime example of what not to allow. Imagine the negative impact if the pier zone gets boxed in by monstrosities like that. The traffic in that area is bad enough, but imagine if 3-5 more towers like that go up. Even the Pattaya sign would be obstructed. The immediate area around the pier should be developed as walking and leisure sitting areas to allow more enjoyment of the view. Adding bars and restaurants and the resulting litter and waste will just ruin the place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe we'll all forsake common usage and say "my adopted town" to make you feel more comfortable--since you seem so worried about the applicability if the town is in Thailand. Maybe if I use "my town" in the body of my posts I should place an *asterisk next to it with an explanatory note below stating I don't own the town and I'm not a citizen, so as not to mislead anyone. I must say there are many over sensitive people living in my town* Notes * I am not a citizen and don't own this town. I don't even own my apartment.

In my short post I said nothing about adding highrise condos or bars--just said a lot of potential was being ignored. Right now the shore side is being improved with a walkway and palm trees. As you stroll along and look out to the bay you see a beautiful vista--islands, boats, Pattaya shoreline/skyline, etc. (Hopefully they will get rid of all the junk still right along the shore and fix the pier.) Turning to the opposite direction, inland, what is the view? A motley collection of very ugly, run-down low-rise buildings housing marine departments, some messy boat storage, and assorted other junky, unattractive stuff. Why not replace all this with a new, low-rise mix of buildings 3 to 5 stories high housing the marine operations on the upper floors, maybe some apartments/condos on the upper floors of some of the buildings as well, and on the ground floors some restaurants, pastry, ice cream, and coffee shops, etc., and some upscale retail?

balo Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 Plenty of activity on Naklua beach yesterday , mostly Russian families and Germans. The beach looks clean and I did not see any trash . Lots of people were also swimming . It looked almost like a paradise. Why people still choose Pattaya beach is a mystery , maybe they never heard of Naklua.

You may be right in that a share of tourists don' t know much about it. But one who knows the place it is no "mystery" that it is a total bore. That can be a good thing for some. I think most who come here want to feel the "buzz". The Pattaya Beach buzz! The only buzz I get at Nakula are all the flies buzzing around my head...

With T21 coming, what's not to like, except of course go-go bars. Had one years ago but it left as the German wave receded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite what fully grown men posting pictures of themselves on facebook then using it as a gauge of tourist numbers and banking methods is hardly an appropriate analogy. Groomers paradise.

JSixpack Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 Tried to have the buffet at the Hilton today. Packed out, no room and a large group waiting. Never seen it so crowded. Went to Hippo instead, lot of space there. Afterwards, went to Starbucks (in the mall). Packed out! No space for two at a table. Went instead to the new Starbucks branch out front. Also crowded, got the last two seats. Lots of Thais, Chinese, and other Asians, but European-types as well everytwhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If one is actually looking for a quiet Starbucks, the new one on Beach rd. just north of Soi 6 is big 2 levels and mostly empty and quiet. Just sayin. But not the same views as Central. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have a terrace outside with tables , so you can sit there and watch the sunset . Never crowded there, at least when I have visited.

Let's hope they get enough of a crowd to pay their bills, otherwise, you'll have to go to busy branches. At least you guys live here full time, so you can enjoy coffee at home when it's too crowded out and about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a possibility, but I believe there are more places than the Hilton and Starbucks in the mall in Pattaya. How are they all doing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possible, yes. Have you looked lately? The ol' eyesight & all. Quote How are they all doing? Sorry to disappoint you, but they seemed to be doing well as one might expect. Starbucks is a good indicator as patrons tend to be mall shoppers as well. And the mall was a madhouse at Christmas, esp for the after-Christmas sales. It seems your Stall Indicator Of Doom trotted out for the stalls outside the 2nd Rd mall entrance was of course yet another dud, justly laughed at when you created it.
