JayBird Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 The Russians at least used to spend their money at normal places, like bars, restaurants, small hotels, shops, etc. So they will help the economy a bit. Indians don't spend money at any of those places, and just take up space, crowding stood a girl or standing skin close to others trying to go about their business. Chinese aren't coming back this year. Thailand failed to be attractive to other groups or find another source of revenue. Either way, still no good here. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oznomad Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 I remain perplexed on how they 'focus' on a nationality or two. Language training for bar girls and 7-11 staff? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harveyboy Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 when did you see a Russian or indian spending..perhaps a 7/11 on the booze run or a girl off beach road for mister Singh and his entire male family and friends 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bonkers I guess they look at what were the rising tourist markets in Pattaya before the pandemic. Putting the Chinese to one side, the Indians were certainly making up a good proportion of new tourists as they are in many parts of the world now. It's all about new money and the Indians and Chinese are at the forefront of that. Russian tourists in Pattaya also have a strong presence and have done for some time. So I think there is sense in the PBTA's plans. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More of that please People have different reasons for living in Pattaya. Some have bought property there and are bringing up family and some are there for the decadence. Whatever their reasons, they do understand (I am sure) that Pattaya is a party town rather than a family destination and therefore will attract tourists that reflects that. Tourists come in all sorts of shapes and sizes in Thailand and the ones rushing to Pattaya will likely have a different agenda to those heading up to places like Chiang Mai or Sukhothai. Horses for courses, as they say! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Peterw42 Posted September 24, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted September 24, 2021 Its very easy to post the same old rhetoric, especially if your only experience of Pattaya is a bar stool in soi sexpat, or you are posting from mums basement. Maybe try visiting one of the massive Indian nightclubs on walking st, visit a couple of the tourist attractions like nongnooch gardens or Tiger parks etc, Indians are half their business. Maybe take a walk around the southern end of 2nd road, where every 2nd restaurant,/hotel is Indian. Go and visit a couple of the massive, all inclusive, self contained resorts in wongamat or naklua. The tired old observations of Thai tourism, based on who is sitting on the barstool next to you, just makes people look stupid. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends who writes the history. There are plenty of 'history of pattaya" articles on the internet. You can find articles that talk about a history of being a Thai destination going back before the Vietnam war. Others will push the sex tourism narrative, often because it justifies their 2 week sex tourism holiday. Each group of people that visit Pattaya, (especially western tourists) tend to push a narrative that they are the major visitors, built Pattaya etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems to me that many overlook the Scandinavian presence in Pattaya, perhaps because they tended to remain in "their" area up in Naklua. Also loads of Arabs, but again somewhat isolated in Little Arabia. Then there are all those that only venture out from their all inclusive resorts except by bus on excursions. None of the above were found lurking in significant numbers on Walking Street, IN MY OPINION. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In addition to the above, boat trips to the islands, Sanctuary of Truth, Legend Siam, 2 big water parks, Dolphinarium and the aquarium, Silver Lake, Terminal 21, beachfront Thai restaurants, lots of nice golf courses, and more. My partner and I used to live at a beachfront condo in Wong Amat and a nice boutique hotel went up next door. It had a steady stream of Indian and other visitors year-round. Some were in small tour groups and others were traveling on their own. The beach there is quite nice and that was also an attraction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
