Popular Post Oldie Posted April 28, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted April 28, 2020 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. 4 1 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

newnative Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are literally hundreds if not thousands of other places around Thailand where you will find exactly what you want to turn Pattaya into. 9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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? ????

"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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
