Com'on now... this is just asking for being ridiculed and tones of jokes... just as well they got the spelling correct this time...

Not quite. Every day is 2 words not one.

 

Notice how his hands are covering his crotch, probably got a damp patch there, embarrasing when you're wearing jeans.

Another example of being too stubborn to ask an English speaker to proofread some text before they spend ฿100K on a sign.

So they didn't bother to ask one native English speaker what that slogan can mean?

I worked in a university where the Thai staff was eventually ordered to have all English language emails that were being sent out to blocks of students or other staff proof-read as the intended messages were sometimes nearly unintelligible. Most of the Thai staff ignored the directive, and those who occasionally gave in usually reversed the corrections back to the original errors, apparently convinced that there's no way a farang could know more than they do...about anything. The big boss never did follow up, realizing that what he asked his Thai staff to do just wouldn't happen. Thais have a lot of pride, and that's okay as long as you have the admirable actions to back it up.

You are correct about the spelling of "every day".

But there also needs to be a comma after "Pattaya".

Without the comma, this message is telling Pattaya  it  can come every day. It is NOT telling the reader that he/she can come every day.

Yes, it should be every day in that usage but everyday is a word and is used an adjective.

If you look carefully you can see that he is sat in a first class Thai Airways seat. Obviously off on his holidays somewhere.

Well hard to see that much, could be the overnight Nakhonchai tour bus from Chiang Rai. If it is Thai Airways, it was probably free, but they don't fly into Pattaya.

He is an Article 44 Prayut political appointee. He needs to get about on behalf of the PM. Or he may even be a very mobile bagman for government and provincial politicians.
