Pattaya tourism: Never fear the millionaires are coming!

[Parsve]

I think that she have miss something. If you are wealthy and could go wherever you want, why should you go to an undevelopment country where officials do not want you?

She is Asian and reads Thai Visa and knows how Farang really feel about her.  Thai officials are really nice to rich Asian girls.  Thailand is very developed.  You must not live here.

Come and listen to a story about a man named Jed
A poor mountaineer, barely kept his family fed,
Then one day he was shootin at some food,
And up through the ground came a bubblin crude.

Oil that is, black gold, Texas tea.

Well the first thing you know ol Jed's a millionaire,
Kinfolk said Jed move away from there
Said Pattaya is the place you ought to be
So they loaded up the truck and moved to Jomtien.

Beach, that is. Swimmin pools, GoGo girls.

 

Pattaya is the place you ought to land

I hear they’re looking for a new president down at the club.

It was not specified exactly what a millionaire was - but they were certainly rich.

Love the sarcasm in recent articles. Keep it up!

 

As for the millionaires.. they'll have to take their turn right behind the Indians and the Millennials......

 

The end is near.

Undoutedly- he has placed  advertisements with his connections at the best hotels in Monaco and the French Riviera as well as the finest hotels in London and New York

 

I an certain he has the hotel's  Mercedes Stretch Limo  with driver in uniform waiting with several bottles of the World's finest Champaignes in the Limo refrigerator= All are at the beckon and call of the World's wealthiest people who have given the co-rdinates of  the Pattaya Private Airport to their  private Lear Jet pilot and co-pilot.

 

The Pattaya Hotel owner has of course been in deep discusions with the TAT and have announced a 20% increase in the millionaire population  coming to the World's finest destination.

 

The next target- The World's Billoinaires.

All farangs are millionaires so this can't be true, we are leaving Thailand, not coming, but you can keep the Indian rupee millionaires.

Sorry to say, it’s probably over for Thai tourism.  Overpriced Baht sure to give anyone planning a vacation pause.  BoT prefers hot money bond inflows from foreign sources—to restoring tourism.

Isn't Pattaya a family friendly destination?

According to the Thai tourism bureau..

Its just the best place to bring the kids. ????????????

Pornphan told Siam Rath that in the period of 2016 to 2022 there would be an 8.1% rise in millionaires around the globe

Fact check: currency inflation will create some new millionaires but that doesn't mean people are getting richer. In fact an inflation rate of 8% over 6 years will make people poorer. Pornphan is just another misinformed official trying to keep his job by creating optimism. Too bad the numbers don't add up.

40,000,000 tourists in 2019.  Over?  I know you don't like Thailand but that's a little off eh?  There is no bond inflow that effect anything.  You keep saying that did you read it someplace or just make it up?

according to some rag in australia,every aussie is now a millionaire (house ownership/current value included to make up this claim).So perhaps pattaya tourism could do a tourism blitz downunder....sure to work.

auckland same-average house price just under 1m nzd   ==20 mil thb approx.

but unless somebody has big  surplus cashflow, it means very little...

i liv

e  near pattaya, so obviously a fan of the place, but i seriously doubt rich people will want to come here.. bali, madives, nha trang etc etc, are streaks ahead..

why would rich people want to visit somewhere so dirty and with so much corruption...

rich people dont become rich, because they are stupid...

thailand is also dangerous due to bad driving, crazy taxi drivers, many obstacles on sidewalks et c etc etc

 

[Uptooyoo]

The word is out about the 9600 baht villas in Pattaya!!! Millionaires in Monaco and Cannes are recalling crews, pulling up anchors, and strapping down the helicopters in preparation to sail their super-yachts to Pattaya's golden beaches of crushed-coral and turquoise waters. Think I'll take a ride up there now and greet George Clooney when he wades ashore.  ???? ????

It's a bit dated stereotype, the yachting millionaire attending horse races and such. I know a few multimillionaires, all are investor types and keep it very low key. You wouldn't be able to spot them by their clothes or behaviour, they make an effort to blend in. They are not Asians that have an innate need to show off, though.

My wife worked for many years for a family in Virginia (USA) who are wealthy.  The guy is an investment banker and his father was connected. She did light housekeeping, laundry and acted as a nanny (more like a mother) for 4 kids.  They are low-key and very classy and we are treated as part of the family.  When the elderly father died, we attended the funeral and a gathering back at the house.  I met former president George H. W. Bush there (and was not impressed).  He was sitting on the same couch where I told my wife some years earlier that our son was killed in Iraq. 

 

Recently, my wife gave the youngest son (now in high school) some Thai cooking lessons.  They are addicted to her cooking.  We get invited to an occasional get-together, just don't forget to bring some food, 555. 

 

Many years earlier, we lived on an estate in New Jersey and traded chores for a small apartment.  Mow lawn, wash windows, take care of dogs when they went fishing in Iceland, clean pool. That family, too, was pretty laid-back.  Old money seems to be that way.

I guess she sampled the wrong medical marijuana and used the one that still had psychoactive ingredients.

I've had lunch with the owner of Thailand's largest retail corporation and one of Thailand's richest families and his family in Pattaya.  Same restaurant different table.  I doubt you could by any stretch of even your imagination say they were riff raff.  You are just not very well informed.  

Were they  on holiday ? don't know ,your not very well informed,and you did not

actually have lunch with HiSo's you were on a different table,in the corner,likely.

The subject of this post ,was there was going to be an influx of Millionaires from

around the World,holidaying at the fabulous family resort of Pattaya

Exactly and pattaya ones she mentions are even more expensive. 

 

So if i have to choose maldives or pattaya i know the answer already. 

 

I am currently in Mauritius, it's safer, cleaner and cheaper for resorts here than phuket and co. 

 

Just a pain to get to tho... And well no girl bar things here. More of a family destination. 

But compared to thailand it's definitely worth the money, not to mention all resorts usually include breakfast and dinner here. 

Mauritius is not that safe outside of resorts and escorted tours.

I was married to a beautiful nut job from that island and there is a worrying

amount of physcotic inbreds running around with big scary knives.

 

Granted it has beautiful scenery and stunning beaches, but something similar

must have enticed you to Thailand before you became who you are now.

 

Emirates have a couple of flights a day to Port Louis, BA have daily flights as

do Air France, so it's not that difficult to get to these days.

A millionaire in which currency?

1 Million Thai Baht is just over US$32,000

1 million Vietnamese Dong is US$43.00

1 million Indonesian rupiah is US$71.00

1 million Nigerian Naira is US$2,766.00

1 million Russian Rouble is US$15,783.00

1 million Iranian Rial is US$23.75

Etc., etc.

 

Which type of millionaire are they targeting?

They own the mall.  Looked like a holiday from Bangkok with the family.  My point was with shopping and sailing and polo among other things many rich people come to Pattaya and many Thai royalty live there full time.

If you're referring to Ambassador area, that's Na Jomthien, not even a part of Pattaya City.
