webfact Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 Pattaya: Walking Street bustling! Pictures posted on the site of Pattaya City Law Enforcement (tessakit Pattaya) on Facebook suggested that business was brisk in the city's famed red light quarter of Walking Street. A tagline said jauntily: Where shall we go out tonight? - the atmosphere in Walking Street at 9 pm. Some Thai posters suggested that most of the people were Chinese and had just got off boats after trips.

Of course they would and even if they are, so what. IMO - some folks feel putting down Thailand will make them feel better about their own country going down the toilet.. 9 2 1 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They would because it's true. 9pm on Walking Street sees hoards of Chinese tourists following the flag and taking selfies. Why does it matter? Because they don't spend a penny there. 31 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I haven't seen any in Pattaya lately, so you could be right. If I were coming to SE Asia with a wad of money, I think Vietnam would be my first choice of destination. Followed by Cambodia. Phillipines? Nah. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No seats in Pinups, Bliss quite busy. As is often the case Walking St busy with looky-loos, but that is okay. The popular GGBs were as ever doing okay, the weak ones not busy.
