Like the guys at the TAT, and City Hall officials I was also wondering, what is the secret of a successful family targeting tourist attraction. Yeah mum likes the ladyboys and my 11 year old wants to see some pussy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I lived for a number of years just outside Pattaya but it has continually managed to sink lower with every month that passes. Pattaya as a family destination is only possible in a different dimension. I attracts the scum of the earth so a clean up to try and cover the worst parts of it are only a temporary measure at best Some posters never seem to understand that families have many options elsewhere in Thailand. There is no requirement to ruin Pattaya just so people can bring their children to stay. I think Pattaya appeals to people like me that want a child free environment. For yourself, I fail to understand why you would live anywhere near a place you despise. It's easy- just move. I hear Saudi is lovely at this time of year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same with Jomtien, that was really nice when I lived there but friends I know from there moved out as crime was rising rapidly. All these places have in the past been good but the greed for money at any cost will bring any place to the lowest level of humanity and Pattaya has demonstrated this over the years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't noticed spiraling crime in over 12 years. I don't feel any less safe than I did when I arrived. If anything, with all the normal tourists here these days taking the emphasis away from the sex industry, it seems safer. I haven't been physically threatened in all that time - not even close. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Were you a victim of a violent crime? If you mind your own business and don't walk around drunk, it's a safe enough place to be. Just watch out for overhead cables that reach the ground.

All these places have in the past been good but the greed for money at any cost will bring any place to the lowest level of humanity and Pattaya has demonstrated this over the years Thanks for your take on things--apparently from your eyewitness perch in London? My partner and I have lived here full-time for 8 years--in Jomtien, Pratamnak, central Pattaya, and now Wongamat, and we have never experienced any crime in any of those places. None, so far. Granted, we aren't walking around staggering drunk at 3am wearing heavy gold chains around our necks but we wouldn't be doing that in our home town, either, and actually feel safer here. There is crime here, of course; there is crime in London, as well. Crime pretty much everywhere in the world. Our take is we feel very safe here going about our normal, everyday lives. We find there have been many improvements since we arrived--with a lot of the run-down, shacky, temporary, and ticky-tacky being replaced by nicer, and more permanent. Many new, nice hotels, new malls, including one with an emphasis on children and families, two very large new water parks, new condo projects, lots of new restaurants, new live theater, and upgrades being done to established attractions. Pattaya is not perfect by any means and there are still lots of infrastructure improvements needed but it is not what you describe and the trajectory is up not down. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elgenon Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 I think providing a safe and easy entrance to Walking Street from the North is much more important. The choice: squeezing between store fronts and a railing and avoiding a shawarma stand while facing hordes of Chinese tours coming at you or trying to avoid tour buses and other traffic while crossing over stinking vents from the poo poo processor in a very limited area full of bewildered cattle (tourists). Oh, and you have to avoid the motorsy taxi drivers. Not an inviting choice. The other night there was a very self-important tourist policeman with his arms crossed leaning against his motorbike which was parked sideways to provide the most difficulty in getting by. Sigh. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
