Popular Post rooster59 Posted December 12, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted December 12, 2020 Neo Pattaya: Popular resort undergoes rebrand - focus on "High Quality, High Value, High Spending" Image: Manager Manager reported that Pattaya is now completely rebranding itself for the tourist season and the year ahead in these much changed Covid-19 times. The TAT and City Hall along with tourism businesses have agreed on a completely new approach. Out has gone the old name - Pattaya is no more. Now is the new name : NEO PATTAYA! And it comes with the all important hashtag in Thai (as most of the tourists are expected to be in 2021): #Pattaya mai maa daay ngai or #How on earth can't you come! It looks like it's out with the sleaze and in with wholesome, natural, educational, high quality values, notes Thaivisa. Indeed "High" was the buzzword after Pattaya's mayor, the TAT reps, business leaders and a beauty queen all had their pictures taken in front of a backdrop of "Fat Coco" (a popular beach club in the resort). Neo Pattaya is no longer about seedy bars and nightlife. Now the focus is on the economy, society, environment and culture. It's not just about the fun either - it's about being safe and clean in these pandemic times. The main buzzword was "Go High" though this was accompanied by "High Quality" "High Value" "High Spending" and "High Experience". The participants seemed "heady" with all the highs! These lofty ideals would be accomplished with activities like taking yachts to "hidden islands" with sea based enjoyment for all along the lines of picnics, sea flyer, paddle board and floating ocean pools. And of course Neo Pattaya is a family resort where the kids' needs are paramount so zoos and animal shows were stressed with the excitement of Go Karts and Bungy Jumping. Not to mention the many events that Pattaya has become famous for such as this weekend's music festival and the new year countdown. Targets now seem to be high spending Thais rather than yesteryear's focus on and acceptance of westerners in singlets, notes Thaivisa. And they want more and more FIT tourists - Fully Independent Travellers. It appears that the drive towards the EEC or Eastern Economic Corridor expansion is heralding the end of the old Pattaya.

And more than likely higher prices to compensate for all the losses during the pandemic , so i wish you luck as the word will soon get around that Pattaya is no longer the cheap holiday it used to be especially if the beer bars etc will no longer be around for what a lot of men go there for . There will be other SEA countries that will very happy to take its place . Edited December 12, 2020 by keith101 40 11 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And every day they build new sex bars in the family resort - even now. They should make an honest advertisement for a city with sex businesses and hookers at every corner.

Spellforce Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 3 hours ago, rooster59 said: Neo Pattaya is no longer about seedy bars and nightlife. "Neo" is only for marketing. That's not really "new" that seedy bars are disappearing near beach road for instance. First area was soi 2 and now that's the turn for soi 7 & 8. Nowadays seedy bars have already moved near soi Bukao and with the years they will move even further to the East... With the years the bright side of Pattaya will be emptied of this kind of bars. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Scot123 Posted December 12, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted December 12, 2020 Go to a business meeting and casually say "I'm off to Pattaya for my vacation this year" and watch all the raised eyebrows and your credibility take a nose dive as you say "No, No! It's a very high class family destination". As you get wheeled out to the funny farm with a suspected breakdown. 6 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is absolutely possible with a lot of efforts to make dreams become reality. Pattaya has the basic elements to become the Neo Pattaya, being dreamt of, and all it needs is serious efforts to change many things in Pattya and then its image will change. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
