There are plenty of family friendly places still around and anyone going to Pattaya for a family holiday needs their heads examining. The same with Phuket. We used to go there from Chiang Mai for a family holiday but never to Patong. I agree. The problem is the snickering and gasps of the neighbors when you tell them you took the kids to Thailand on holiday. I like the place, in spite of not drinking or chasing women for sport. Thailand is so much more than beer and women and porn and plastic winkies. But unfortunately, the great places don't make the news like this story and others like it. And it can take some local knowledge to get from the airport to the great places without getting a big dose of the family repellent parts thrown up in your (and your kids') face.

It reminds me more of Shanghai in the twenties when the sailors were in town (I remember it well ) and should come with an adults only warning! Thailand has some wonderful beaches and great restaurants and a lot of warm and welcoming people. And then there is Pattaya.... All of the above exist in and around Pattaya, there is more to the place than soi 6/8/10 and Walking Street. Go take a look sometime. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a977 Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 the sooner the coppers get up off their fat a##s and actually walk the beat and stop sitting around counting their tea money the sooner this place will become family friendly and this <deleted> will go away 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plenty of fun family oriented things to do in Pattaya and easy to avoid the potential bad spots if one has common sense. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More family orientated things to see and do in Pattaya than Chiang Mai and Phuket put together. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That Las Vegas? That experiment failed long ago. Now it's "What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas" as their ad campaign. Topless pools, more strip clubs, more high-end pickup nightclubs, more escorts. It's for adults. Disney World is for families. Each to their own. I've done both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For a while, it was quite successful.

They're getting over 40 million visitors a year now... http://www.lvcva.com/includes/content/images/media/docs/Historical-1970-to-2017.pdf Still, I doubt they have the dodgy guys on the sidewalks in front of the main casinos flashing photos of naked hookers like they did when I first went there in the '80s. And like the guys today on Lower Sukhumvit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gk10002000 Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 I wouldn't call that violent. Lot of sloppy punch throwing. Now if somebody had gone down to the ground I suspect there would have been some kicking in the head stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a place with an estimated minimum 2,000 bars there is always the possibility of a problem in one of them. And minimum possibility of it affecting 99.99% of people there.

And the Indian casinos didn't draw away families as most of those feature nothing but gambling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
