  • The Chinese military industrial conglomerate does not just hand out money. They expect a transfer of control of assets and absolute obedience.

  • Can i see Pattaya and Jomtien heading the same direction as Sikhanoville once these cockroaches get their hands on something like this,my guess is a definite yes.

    If you pump in billions face masks and social distancing are not important anymore.

I don't get it. I understand the Chinese take a long term look at things, but at this moment there isn't more than about 20% occupancy in any condo in Jomtien, and there are two big projects on the beach that seem to have been halted - Casablanca and another near Reflection.

 

Perhaps they're getting a dirt cheap price on the whole deal.

The Chinese are coming to the aid of Pattaya

Wasn't this whole pandemic, and ergo the citizens of Pattaya problems, created by the Chinese anyway?

What do they want? A thank you or fuc-ing us and throwing a little cash back at us? I know Pattaya is full of whores, but don't treat the whole city like they are

Future planning, like their empty cities all over China, they need somewhere to vacation

 

As an old chinese warrior said centuries ago, take over a countrys' education, finances and no shots have to be fired

Did anyone else have naughty thoughts about the babe in the white pant suit?

No, I thought she looked a little suspect. I'd wager she's hiding a sausage in her panties.

No they will take control, slowly over a period of time, since no one else can do it

Try posting a question using proper English. It helps. 

I you have a handicap, regarding this, it´s not my problem. Maybe you should try a pure english forum instead of an international one with multiple nationalities.

Seems to be the old Ocean One project.

Yes, next door to View Talay Residence 3.

This new project was announced over a year ago - I remember reading about it in January 2020. I guess they’ve now got the Chinese to stump up the money to actually build it.

Give them credit, since it seems like part of the big picture.  Chinese Yuan and Thai Baht keep rising as most western currencies fall.  Chinese money will buy key properties to extend their reach into Thailand.

Not a face mask between them, yet according to many local provinces not wearing a mask = thousands of Baht fines.....obviously money talks, and non so loud as Chinese money.

So you order two submarines and in return they block your sea view.

Who's going to have their sea view blocked? It's quite a ways off the beach.

No the view from the sea to the mountains, was why permissions were rejected in the past. Blocking sacred views

Hmmmm....interesting. I'd say view talay nearby does that also!  Along with numerous other tall buildings in Jomtien . Right?

lol...so we are about 10 years away from the new Taiwan/Hong Kong situation, but at least it should be good business for Chinese wedding photographers on the beach and also could be an easy solution for the Chinese woman shortage although they will have to get their skates on to resolve the issue in this generation. ????

Nah I am waiting for the immigration and department of labour to crack down on all of the dodgy owership agreements the chinese have agreed to over the last few years. They do have to have a local with 51 percent of ownership.

Like they will care or pay attention to that...

I wonder if they are going to pump in any money to take care of all the turds being pumped out if this building??

If I'm not mistaken, that's one of the reasons they stopped the project at Bali Hai pier. Are you not from pattaya?

 Jomtien. Their  own Chinatown. Very near the Russian enclave too.

My heart goes out to the future generations of Thais, being sold out by this lot of *#*#*, better get those Mandarin lessons going.

What about those that recognize their China origins. A bigger percentage of the Thai population than you think.

Not for the bulk of Isan that's for sure....maybe where all the money is...yes.

Just a matter of time. Then boom- another war- typical of the human species.
