fakename Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 Wasnt it just last year, Pattaya was to become the sports capital of the world? Every year a new theme. then forgotten. Build a freeway next to the beach, then on the commercial side of the road, force people to walk in the traffic! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cake Monster Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 You just got to see all the Disabled Thai persons going to the Training School in Soi Yumai to see that this is purely another load of tosh. Visually impaired and wheel chair users alike mingling with the motorbikes and cars in the Soi for the right of use of the Soi ( Not even walkways ) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

survivalblue Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 Should probably tackle your Thai males on motorbikes problem first. I find it incredibly dangerous to be a pedestrian in Pattaya. Constantly having to be aware of everything. Including when I'm on the sidewalks. If this sort of driving behavior continues, it will never be safe for "tourists" in Pattaya. Forget the snatch thieves, ladyboy thieves, and drunken assaults. Thai males on motorbikes is the most dangerous aspect of Pattaya. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InMyShadow Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 When they bring happiness to the elderly and disabled in Pattaya perhaps they can start to install down escalators and lifts to ground level in bangkok bts stations? What a disgrace they were never even planned for!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The recent murder of a foreign tourist by another foreign tourist and the beating of a visiting soldier by a local watch seller and friends will attract "All" in droves......Get Real! It's far safer than most cities in Europe, the UK and USA. A few attention grabbing headlines and credulous readers with an axe to grind are not the reality of Pattaya.

Henrik Andersen Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 I just shows how much money we spend in this world class resort so the officials can spend it with talking nonsense but surely they will have a nice conference in some nice hotel and meaby get food poisoning again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juice777 Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 The sea front is fine for wheel chairs and buggies - problem is though you'll probably die crossing the road to get to it.And even it would be impossible for them 2 get 2 walking St on there own or turn left at walking St. The whole of pattaya is full of obstructions it's disgusting.How the hell could some one in a wheel chair get down pattaya Tai to get 2 tukcom. Those stalls should be closed down if you ask me there no room on the pavement. A few weeks ago one of the stall holders decided to have a small fire in the road next to the pavement and next to a seller selling fish and he was burning plastic shoes. Unfortunately Thai people are totally ingorent on anything like this and this country will never be safe. I fill sorry for any person in a wheel chair I have a bad enough time and I can walk.

juice777 Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 after I made that post I went for my morning run,and I realized (as you have quoted),thais respect nothing,closing the road or making a special lane or any improvement will only make room for more lawlessness ,somtum and greasy fried chicken vendors....I fear we are doomed in pattaya..have good one my brother Should probably tackle your Thai males on motorbikes problem first.

Thai males on motorbikes is the most dangerous aspect of Pattaya.I agree but it's not just the males.

thaibeachlovers Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 When they can't even manage to get cars to stop for the pedestrian crossing lights ( when they actually work ) how on earth do they think they can make Pattaya safe for the disabled? I think city hall must have an office in which they think up silly headlines to put in the media to keep people's minds off the real problems that they won't fix.

Problem in Pattaya is that the bad guys are everywhere. I once saw a farang being assaulted right outside Kiss restaurant. He was able to escape into the restaurant, but had to stay there a while till the scum thugs went away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
