They never improved any business even before covid, buying ingredients as cheap as possible to sell them as expensive as possible ! And with covid they not only give small portions for take away food for the same price as dine in, but they also mostly use plastic and foam. For all this they should be punished and closure is the least punishment ! Many of the business owners have become slaves to their Thai landlords. The rents are so high that it effects their product, and their service. The Thai landlords here have continually been pushing the market towards breaking point, and in high season 2020, I think we saw they pushed the market past what it was prepared to pay. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We saw this after the tsunami in Phuket. Tourists stayed away because they didn't want to feel like they were taking advantage of the situation. The locals begged the tourists to come back. As soon as they did, they started ripping them off, over charging, extorting, padding their bills, assaulting them etc. I don't expect it to be any different after covid. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are hundreds of thousands of people wishing to return to Pattaya. When I started this thread, way before covid, businesses were closing due to lack of customers. Covid came along and businesses were closing, not just temporarily due to government decree, but permanently due to going broke, or not seeing it as viable to remain operating in such circumstances. When tourists do come back here, for many, their favourite bar and / or restaurant will not be here, possibly their favourite hotel and / or guest house as well. This thread is more relevant now than it was pre covid. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
