Popular Post webfact Posted September 27, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted September 27, 2021 Picture: Manager When tourism finally gets off the ground again in Pattaya they will have to forget the resort's notorious entertainment industry. In an eight point plan aimed at ensuring that foreign tourism can get off the ground, came an acceptance of the situation from the Pattaya Tourist Business association. Picture: Manager Number eight assumed the entertainment industry is expected to remain shut whenever Pattaya reopens. Number six on TBA chief Bun-anan Pattanasin's list is stopping any reference to "Sandbox" in the "Pattaya Moves On" brand. Marketing materials will refer to Pattaya's new image as "BLUE". This stands for Business, Leisure, Ultimate Experience. Picture: Manager Other measures the TBA raised with the TAT are chivvying the authorities to get everyone vaccinated - 50% have received a double dose in Pattaya and 20,000 remain to be double jabbed, reported Manager. Limiting quarantine to 7 days, promoting more direct flights and getting more hotels onboard with the SHA and SHA+ schemes remain other priorities. Bun-anan was commenting after the CCSA knocked back the October 1st reopening D-Day to November 1st. Pattaya wants to reopen faster than that and is insisting they be heard. -- © Copyright ASEAN NOW 2021-09-27 - Whatever you're going through, the Samaritans are here for you - Follow ASEAN NOW on LINE for breaking COVID-19 updates 1 1 36 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is the fail right there along with entertainment remaining shut either open or don't bother dump the red tape - COE - SHA - Quarantine and multiple mandatory forced uncessary PCR tests that only target foreign tourists, the stupidy is astonishing 26 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post finnsk Posted September 27, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted September 27, 2021 (edited) Pattaya is world famous for its bar, massage and nigtlife, nothing else. The beach, with the dirty water running out from the hole town, running out directly in the beach is not very ............. I can hardly imagine Pattaya as a family resort Edited September 27, 2021 by finnsk 24 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post khunPer Posted September 27, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted September 27, 2021 To be honest, with 7-days quarantine and SHA hotels - and bars closed - I'm skeptical about the number of foreign tourist arrivals. It might take long time to establish the B.L.U.E. image - i.e. saying that I'm going on holiday in Pattaya often gets people to speculate - to rapidly get rid of the old reputation might be difficult...???? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post poskat Posted September 27, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted September 27, 2021 this concept will last as long as it takes for the cops/pols to feel the pinch in their wallets from the lack of pay-offs from the entertainment based businesses. it took Las Vegas about a year to go from their new family-oriented concept to "what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas" 8 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post BestB Posted September 27, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted September 27, 2021 Business and leisure, once people manage to cross the road or walk down a non existing footpath where bikes are parked or someone selling something, they might even make it to a business meeting and i suppose the maze having to go through to get there is the leisure part. Even more fun when it rains, then you also get to guess if next puddle is a huge hole or only a puddle, in the mean time your car or a bike gets turned into a submarine while parked in the basement car park of a hotel 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post thaibeachlovers Posted September 27, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted September 27, 2021 Took me a while to cotton on, but IMO the Pattaya Tourist Business association is putting out comedy statements to amuse the population in a time of hardship. What other reason could there be for such obviously silly comments? 4 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the advantage of being here for a (very) long time and sorry to say Pattaya stopped being as you call it ‘thriving town’ 5 to 10 years ago when the Chinese/Indians/Russians arrived 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
