Enjoy Pattaya while it is still open for business.

Pattaya has survived an average of 1 military coup every 7 years.
The Tom Yum Goong crisis.
2003 SARS epidemic.
Relentless bad press worldwide (most of it bs)
Rampant corruption from the top all the way down.
Countless condo developments over the years that have taken deposits and never finished.

 

And you think a flu like virus is going to really end it? lol

I feel bad for the locals that got sucked into the expansion craze the last few years.  To me about 2004 was one of the last really good years.  Later the Bangkok floods really drove a lot of people to head to the nearest city such as Pattaya that had any semblance of infrastructure.

Has Pattaya ever survived a military coup in which the military actually became the Thai Government????

I don't think these are the end times for Pattaya. I am saying the naughty hubs will be closed when there is a serious outbreak in Thailand. At that point, someone will hit the panic button. There will be precedents of other sex hubs being closed down. I expect WS etc. it will be closed down for months.

 

The death toll and global slow down from Coronavirus has already made the history books.

 

People who are asymptomatic spread the virus to other people who are asymptomatic who spread the virus. It is very contagious. China got to grips with the epidemic by quarantining whole cities, which we haven't seen elsewhere, with the exception of Italy. This is a bomb about to go off.

 

Coronavirus is going to have a deep impact globally. 

 

Thanks to the poster who drew my attention to the gold price shock.

Do you think Thailand would ever do such a thing? 

 

They put wealth over health here.
