The Pattaya Business and Tourism Association (PBTA) plans to focus on Indian and Russian tourists first when the city is open to vaccinated foreign tourists.

 

Mr. Boonanan Pattanasin, the president of the Pattaya Business and Tourism Association, (PBTA) told The Pattaya News yesterday afternoon, September 21st, “Many cities might have postponed the plan to open for foreign tourists. However, Pattaya is ready to open as early as October 1st, if given permission by the Center for Covid-19 Situation Administration (CCSA).”

 

“Our largest number of tourists used to be Chinese, however, the Chinese government still has not allowed their citizens to go out from the country in tour groups. Additionally, China has a major mandatory quarantine of three weeks for the majority of any citizens who can leave to return home at this time which is not conducive to tourism. As China continues to pursue a “Zero Covid” strategy, it is unlikely that this will change anytime in the near future, whereas Thailand and Pattaya are moving to a “living with Covid-19” strategy.” Boonanon explained to TPN media.

"plans to focus on Indian and Russian tourists first"

 

What does that mean to the average farang on the street?  Hotel discounts? BOGO free in all the bars?

[steven100]

So they'll be given a choice, it's a free Chicken Tikka or a Rye bread with fried sauerkraut at a restaurant near your hotel.

MMMM - Chicken Tikka is an English dish - hard to find in India, Sauerkraut is German (hence the word Kraut in WW2)

But I get your sense.

Rye bread and pickled cabbage are found across Europe, he used the German name is all.

Tikka is about as English as the Taj Mahal. Maybe you had too much IPA this afternoon?

Whut? The baht is what Thailand use, what it converts from is irrelevant. Also Both those nations have several globally renowned oligarchs. Those titans won't berth their boats at bali hai this week, but it's the sheer numbers from these places are what the hapless TAT are hoping for.

[MrJ2U]

Thats great!

 

Indians and Russians spreading the wealth.

 

7/11's should see a rise in alcohol sales.

Yes, I know that Thailand use baht. Thanks for the heads up Popeye. You don´t think it´s the currency they can take from their home country that they are going to spend in Thailand? Maybe you think they are all baht investors. ????DUH!

But no bonking! Or bar girls banking.

 

Pattaya is on life support and will be until 2023.

Australia for one, is is sealed off right now, their first flights MAY land in LoS in April next year. 

 

China have billions of souls, a minimal efficacy vaccine regime, and the looming threat of Delta, which could cripple their economy if it gets out of control, they're not coming out to hog the prawn tray until 2024 is my conservative guess.

 

I think long before that, the bulldozers are going to move in, those dead beerbars on absolute waterfront make zero economic sense now.

 

Maybe the LK metro zone will survive, but you'll have a red light district on a par with Chiang Mai when the real money has done making its move on bargain beachfront. Think the boring Sinofication of that whole area.

 

Another bet I'm making is that since Xi has put Macau on Notice, Thailand would be very foolish indeed not to U turn on gambling, at least at the high roller level. I'm taking bets now, this will be my easiest money ever!

Yet, contrary to common perception, sauerkraut did not originate in Germany. Sauerkraut, a term which is made up of the German words sauer (sour) and kraut (cabbage), it is a Chinese invention and as much a French/Alsatian specialty as it is truly Irish.

Feel sorry for the bar girls , a vodka binged Russian or Indian that might try to offer her a suit as payment in the morning !

you've obviously never been to india, indian food in the uk is generally good, indian food in india is sensationsal, and you'll be hard pressed to find a restaurant serving chicken tikka

[bkk6060]

One of the biggest lies of Pattaya girls is: I never go with man India.  Yes they do quite often.

[nausea]

Hobson's choice.

Indeed. They may spend sweet FA but if there are enough of them, the right people get to clean up.

ie, a bad joke red light district. IMO saying C M has a red light area is like claiming pig's ears are made of silk.

They can focus on who they want, it won't change who actually wants to come.
