Check out Amanpuri Resort, Malaiwana, Pearl of Naithon etc...All great places to live. Chiang Rai also has many beautiful places to live without the hefty Phuket price tag. Resell can be ridiculous up there if you sell to the “right” folks. We picked up a plot of land in CR for 3 million baht and resold for 48 million baht 1 year later. if you don’t understand why the resell is ridiculous in CR than I’m not sure what to say.

Number 6 Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 Actually, this is quite achievable. Pattaya is absolutely flush with money. Hire a crew to regularly clean the streets. No magic. SWEEPING And a few trash trucks in addition to what they have now. I think that's the tragedy. The government officials actually think they are off the hook simply by making a few false pronouncements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smudger1951 Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 If Pattaya can't be a green paradise with municipal parks and gardens at least it could be a cleaner paradise. But pesonally I just wish things were better organised and maintained. The hoardings and dis-used telephone boxes etc obstructing pavements would be a great improvement.

Are there any males that don't like sex? Some repress their urges and hate others that do like sex, but why would they even go to Pattaya? Saudi Arabia would probably be a better holiday destination for them- all women covered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO, it'll be like usual official announcements in Pattaya- they'll make a superficial effort on a few places like Bali Hi, and quietly forget about doing any more. In a month it'll be like it never happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baby steps I was thinking the same, a one week clean up and had to order the cleaners to do their job so that would mean, if they are normally working then the areas they clean will not be cleaned for a week, Thai logic at its best.
