Pattaya is dead, or is it?

It's not dead.
Also, more to Pattaya than bar stools.

Perhaps the younger crowd do not spend much time on bar stools? Being young, they might walk.

And, some of the older crowd (me), also do not spend much time (none) on bar stools.

All garbage - Why just make that up ? 

 

(Was there about 5 months ago - still a dump)

Which makes me wonder, why visit a place you thought was a 'dump', only to find that it is 'still a dump', according to you.  Why keep visiting?   By the way, here's a pic of Pattaya Beach, which I think you said was sh**tiest in the World, or something like that. You might be the one making things up.

The place is an unplanned mess, a sewer in place of the sea, a rubbish tip for a beach and a traffic nightmare.  It floods in the rainy season, stinks in the dry season and is full of people you would never wish to see, meet or ever socialise with. Dead? here's hoping. 

I think you should say how you really feel about the place .. not hold back.  ????

 

Last time I checked it was not compulsory to visit Pattaya.  Dont like it .. dont go there.

 

We dont all move in your high end circles. Us people you dont want to meet or socialise with are really gutted.  PLEASE change you mind.  

 

Off to the Opera tonight are you ? Or is it Bridge at the golf club. Jeez wish I had your class. I gonna have to make do with scantily dressed temptresses dancing whilst Im trying to concentrate on my beer. Its so boring here.

 

But I like all them cute smiles and laughter .. thats just the old falang. 

 

Where is your posh classy bit of Thailand and life style  .. rhetorical question .. I dont care. 

 

You know alot about it .. describing the different seasons. Must have been here quite a bit.  Could not have been toooo bad or were you held captive.

No need to wonder any longer - I went there to meet someone at Cape Dara (nice(ish) hotel but <deleted> area))- and I don't 'keep visiting' did I say that ? - there is no way I would want to.

Come out of Cape Dara turn right and you can walk about 10-20 metres before being engulfed in plastic and cut off - turn left and crumbled masonry blocks you off. Its a <deleted> beach with half the worlds plastic on it - if that's now been cleaned up - sweet! Though further along (to the left of it) there is no way you would walk on that beach shoeless. Where's Cape Dara in that pic out of interest?

 

The things plying their trade on my recent visits were absolute horrors! - but like I tried to say before its all about standards - if you're happy I'm happy ! Though one poster on here tried to say it outgirled Bangkok - so maybe delusion is the issue.

 

     The photo is of Pattaya Beach--the beach you called shi**est in the World.  I can't point out Cape Dara resort in the photo of Pattaya Beach because Cape Dara is not on Pattaya Beach--and apparently you were not either.  You might want to get your information (and geography) correct before making wild, ridiculous statements.

      Cape Dara is north of Pattaya in an area called Naklua/Wong Amat.  (In the photo it would be way out of the frame to the right).  The beach in this area, which, again, is not Pattaya Beach, has both rocky areas and some sandy areas.  I don't know how Cape Dara maintains its part of the beach but the part where I live, even farther north, is usually clean, maintained by the condos and hotels.

you are saying I could do boom boom in Mallorca? I was there for five days and did not hear a word about it.

The "hot-spot" in Palma is called "Ballerman" by the Germans. I don't know what the Brits call it. It's a place where young ladies as well as old spinsters want to do something that they can not do at home: = Get drunk and see what happens......
Only languages spoken there are English and German. Little Spanish and no Thai.
Meaning that even old geezers like me can "talk-up" a younger Lady after she has consumed liberal amounts of "Sangria". (With limited Thai-Language skills, hard to "talk-up" a Thai-Lady in Pattaya, expecting free services).
- And if that doesn't help, there are some recent arrivals of Ladies from Africa, wanting to start a stellar career in Europe. (Not recommended).
Conclusion: Booking an "all-inclusive" Hotel (near "Ballerman") and using a low cost Air Carrier will likely cost less than a holiday in Thailand if it comes down to the "bang"-effect only.
Younger folks have found that out already, probably with the help of algorithems.
