watcharacters Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 Last night the Mrs. and I went to Bella Italia restaurant for some pizza. It's literally a stone's throw from Soi 6. Upon leaving the restaurant I jokingly said to the Mrs. would she like to get some vendor food, which I've seen her do in the past after eating a large meal (bottomless pits that Thai ladies are). She replied to me "they're gone". Lo and behold, I hadn't noticed when we walked in, that a large section of property across the street has been partitioned with construction fencing that I can only imagine portends the construction of a large hotel. I'm referring to the hind side on the Soi 6 bars on the north side of the street. Got me to wondering what does tomorrow bring for this iconic slice of Pattaya? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since when does the sleazy bar and bargirl scene become iconic. Must only be iconic to the ones that degrade themself to frequently indulge inthe forever boozing and eating a piece of flesh a couple of times a week. So, as asummary. We should be very sad if the sex expat and the sex tourist are leaving Thailand. As I said, you must be joking. 4 16 11 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

newnative Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 It's my understanding that Chang owns all that land, plus the Grand Sole Hotel next to it, the big empty lot on Beach Road, and the Imperial Hotel. It's all slated for development and redevelopment. Lots of changes for the good going on in north Pattaya and it's gotten very busy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not quite so. McDonalds has been demolished along with some other derelict properties and a few small businesses that won't be missed. Add in the land all fenced off closer to Klang that used to house a coach & car park and restaurants at Beach Rd and Second Road ends. Chinese leasing off Chang is what I have heard. For what? Time will tell. I recall reading in the BP that Grand Sole hotel has been sold to a company called AWC or ACW. It will be refurbished and re-opened, though no timescales were given.

Well there are 2 kinds of Chinese......The Thai-Chinese which I would not worry so much about and then there are the Mainland Chinese which I would be VERY worried about........See Cambodia....... 10 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sure it is the latter. Just to go slightly off topic, Naklua has many more Chinese businesses opening; mostly restaurants; and a greater number of well heeled Chinese tourists in the locale as customers. Ditto Jomtien too.

Beggar Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 I didn't know that Soi 6 is famous because of the food... But anyhow - these bars sit on very expensive land. Just a question of time when they disappear or move. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except that the bars would likely to become expensive shops, a mini mart and laundry shop, where nobody buys. Nobody buys into property with prostitutes / bars right at the entrance level... At least, I doubt those buyers they have in mind will. Edited September 1, 2019 by tabarin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A short time hotel would fit there and would further upgrade this unique family resort. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
