Demolition has begun. Its a sign. The Apocalypse is nigh. What is going on in this world?

They were practically dead before Corona

They were busy some 15-20yrs ago .....  my hand is still sore from ringing that damn bell

I had a dream... 

 

They should remove the sex bars from the Walking Street and create there a nice area with things like restaurants, small shops and sea view. The bars can be outside Pattaya where only people go that want to go there - there is no need for a beach location. They should move also all other red light areas from the city to this new location and create a paradise for people looking for something like this without disturbing others. Of course there needs to be good and cheap public transportation to this entertainment area. This bar chaos without zoning would come to an end and everyone could be happy.

I am not against bars and nightlife. They should create a kind of Las Vegas for bar and nightlife lovers at a new location.

Maybe in Buakhao, like LK Metro or Naan Plaza?

They should move it outside the city to a location that is still cheap. The city area will get more and more expensive - perhaps too expensive for bars and other nightlife.

You mean they should be like the Brothels in Nevada, outside the city limits and only in certain Area's....I am afraid that will never happen here

You might be sadly right. But it doesn't make sense to have gogo bars at a prime beach location.

Nor in what they advertise as a Family friendly destination, but then where do you put the bars and stuff, they were already placed in certain locations to began with.

    I don't have a problem with Walking Street.  At this point it's sort of historic, as far as things Pattaya go.   As I said in another post, Pattaya's new and nice development is mostly far away from Walking Street, so Walking Street is already being rather marginalized.  That will likely continue, with most new development planned for other areas.  Supply and demand will determine how many bars and go gos will be needed in the future with Pattaya's changing tourist demographic--who mostly spend their Pattaya visit elsewhere.

Pattaya is the Las Vegas for nightlife and bars. Its what the town grew up around.

There are literally hundreds if not thousands of other places around Thailand where you will find exactly what you want to turn Pattaya into.

Just take a big cheap empty area outside the city and create a new nightlife paradise and move the existing nightlife there. I think in the long run the bars in the Walking Street and at other places will not be able to survive anyway. Many bars had to move already because shopping malls, hotels and condominiums were built at prime locations.

An idea like that has some merit, IF Pattaya beach was nice, but it's not.  Also, Pattaya City is one big brothel. You want the whole city to move?   ????

 

Why on earth move  what Pattaya is famous for to another location..it is/was there from the beggining

everyone (except TAT) knows it is there, there are plenty of other places to develop into a

"world class family beach resort"  without destroying what Pattaya is famous for..

"a world class party/adult entertainment town"

I don't want to change Pattaya or its reputation. I only dream of a better organized Pattaya. Just compare the Beach Road from today with the Beach Road when it was full of bars. The nightlife will have to move to cheaper locations and it happens already. Perhaps this move could happen more organized.

No one forces you to go. How much time do you spend on the lovely beach?

And JP's International Bar! The best after hours party since the Old Thermae. Major loss.

I would spend more time there when I visited if I would not be harassed by all the ladyboy's that frequent that section of beach road....its why I just head to Hua Hin

Might have been mentioned here already, but I read the guys who own/rent Nana Plaza are looking to create the same in Pattaya.......no idea where. 

Yes, we don't need Walking Street--as long as soi6 still alive.

There are not so many sex bars left on Walking Street, mainly when compared to 10 or 20 years ago.

This thread is about the complex at the entry of WS being destroyed. The 2 other big complexes ar Simon's ones and are both for sale for more than 1 year. They are nearly dead with only bars on WS side surviving... until now. I bet these 2 complexes will soon be turned in other sea-view sea-food restaurant, even if many on WS already.

Most of the small isolated sex bars have disappeared already. And several big ones have turned to live-band bars targeting tourists, not sex.

When you walked in WS earlier this year, you certainly were not walking in a sex bars street.

And despite the many agogos, WS is already a tourist/family attraction.

They had the project to turn most of The Avenue building in a Nana Plazza alike, but I think this project failed already.

You will never see me on the beach. I avoid too much sun. I have been living here in Pattaya for almost 30 years. I have seen many changes. But I always missed a little bit of zoning. Nightlife here and nightlife there - not always easy to move from one location to another. And also noisy nightlife next to hotels and condominiums. Doesn't make sense to me.

People don't walk down WS to see the seafood restaurants, they want to see the gogos, girls and LBs standing outside and those crappy people doing street shows, the general atmosphere. Turn it into a street of restaurants and you get a boring place lacking atmosphere
