Recommended Posts

so when the first rains after reopening, and the place is full of almost sober people in rubber thongs... 

 - are the tiles in the OP photo 'proven' non-slip?

Surely we need to wait for Bill Gates to say what a mess they are before that happens?

An upbeat Mayor Sontaya Khunpluem in Pattaya has said that the work being done on Walking Street is so much more than just cable burying

 

So glad they did not say cable laying ..

No stone would be left unturned (well, you know what we mean) to upgrade the ENTIRE length of the street

 

Roll away the stone then .. 

 

as Mott the Hoople once sang ..

For now the mayor encouraged visitors to take pictures of the street as it looks at the moment

All that is missing are the tourists, and those will be back later in the year in their familiar droves

 

If the smutty tourists ever make it back they'll be looking into different holes to the one in the pic' ..

That's what they said last spring, when they shut down "for a few weeks to flatten the curve".

Walking street without bars and girls and music will be dead.

 

They know why people came to Pats. They don't know who will be interested to come Pas without Walking street as it was known in happy days.

 

They killed the golden goose - may be in future they will have a meager sparrow

They can move the bars to a different location and make there for instance nice restaurants with sea view. The customers of todays Walking Street are interested in nice girls and not so much in sea views. This prime location is a waste for the purpose it has today. But anyhow - I doubt that there will be much change. Will illegal buildings be removed this time? I think I know the answer...
