Video: Pattaya will be Thailand's "Miami"

 

FILE photo

 

An upbeat video produced by Thai media Manager said that Pattaya is set to be Thailand's Miami.

 

All it will take is the long awaited tipping of a mountain of sand on the beaches that have suffered years of erosion.

 

Manager said that agreements between Pattaya City Hall and the harbor master's office and the final sourcing of the sand after a long wait mean that work will start in April.

 

The public had had their suspicions they said.

 

But now Thailand was to get Miami "for sure".

 

All the equipment and supplies are just about ready and what people have been waiting ten years for is finally set to happen.

 

Dreams are at last set to become reality as Pattaya can be mentioned in the same breath as the US resort in Florida.

that is a pretty weak,poor goal; Miami is Not a resort, it is a big city that contains all the normal ills of a big city, not the least of which is violent crime in which Miami is a leader in the USA

It already has everything drugs , gangs , prostitution , murder .

Our haters, bashers, doomsters, whingers, and trolls are going to get their knickers in a serious twist over this. I think we'd better get all the whinges out of the way now, preemptively, and shorten the length of the thread:

Depends entirely on which part of Miami they are trying to emulate, looks to me that they are at more advanced stages than they realise.

So, maybe not so wrong after all, considering recent news from Pattaya...

Two rubber duck excavators hard at work today on the Dusit Thani end of the beach.

As recent events suggest, they are off to a good start.  These jagoffs could not have chosen a bit better city of comparison, Miami is a drug infested dump.

 

For Miami, we found that the violent crime rate is one of the highest in the nation, across communities of all sizes (both large and small). Violent offenses tracked included rape, murder and non-negligent manslaughter, armed robbery, and aggravated assault, including assault with a deadly weapon.

I earlier lived for many years in lower Isaan and toured recently. Most towns there are well run, clean with decent wide pavements. Way ahead of Pattaya. North Pattaya is the best kept area but the nearer one gets to South Pattaya the more it deteriorates. South Pattaya is run down and chaotic by comparison. The first thing noticeable is the vomit inducing smell coming out of the drains. It's been like that for many years. Miami? In your dreams.

I thought someone said it was the wrong type of sand!

Just get on with it!

Does Miami also stink horrendously at one end of the Beach Rd too?

[Henrik Andersen]

Someone are high on yaba 

Miami OMG keep dreaming 

[peperobi]

Why did they like to be a bad copy of a bad city like Miami? Enjoy the real Pattaya, just clean up and eliminate all the criminals there. Pattaya is Pattaya!

The first of April is very soon.

[Chang_paarp]

Does this mean Pattaya will get a trained, professional police force, a planning department that enforces the laws and planned funded and completed infrastructure?

And been that way for years.  Sun,  sea, sex and seniors. What other candidates have there been for the last 3 or 4 decades?   Cha Am? Phuket and Samui are islands so cannot compete.

[RichardColeman]

Yes, and while they are at it, maybe they can get an NFL franchise for the Pattaya Floaters !

[Jingthing]

I've been calling Pattaya a poor man's Miami Beach for many years now.

[ronaldo0]

Will give it a miss then as I thought Miami was one of the biggest dumps I have been to !!

Oh, you forgot realists. Just because in reality Pattaya is one of the worst cities in Thailand, and you see it in the news every day. can´t hardly say I am wrong there.
Some people like to live close to crime, drugs, mental problems, power drinkers and heavy stink and pollution though, and I guess it´s nothing wrong with that, if the person has the right mindset to fit in.

Regarding the sand and all the beautiful dreams for this unique, one of a kind, world class oasis of a five star family resort. i guess that was just a dream, just a dream.....

I suppose sand is as good as anything to cover-up the shit, dead fish and plastic bags.  It might even attract a few more soi dogs; that should make it easier when the culling begins.

They are probably referring 'dreaming' of Miami Beach is an area in Miami.

But unlike Pattaya, Miami has a pretty hands on police department who solve all the crimes.  I know that because it was on the TV.

It is a dump.  And 4 times the cost.

But, some people love to be S... on.

[Humpy]

I remember tons of sand being dumped along the shoreline and it disappeared in no time with the help of nature's tides !!!  

[newnative]

I've been to Miami.  No thanks.  I'll take Pattaya.  Not too big.  Not too small.  Fits me just right.

[Sir Dude]

Lol with the OP of the Thai beach like that....not kidding anyone there. Dream on
