Please open Pattaya again ss all the girls have dried out now.

Asking for a friend, and ill be sure to visit Pattaya to do my part (even though I normally don’t go) lol - Su Su Bill! 

At least now we know where the Penthouse Letter "writers" end up when they retire.

 

Should probably be renamed Covid Tails?

I bet there is a lot of buildings changing hands in Pattaya.   For the new patts.  Family friendly, 80% Thai tourists.  

Just what the world is short of, another family friendly resort. 

Sounds more like a visitor than an expat, if he exists at all beyond someone's imagination.

He said that he received his QR code in just 4 days then continued to address the PM:

Ridiculously slow.

 

But I guess things may be simpler by December 16th.

 

Who knows with this convoluted government.

In arboreal primates, Covid first attacks the brain ...

B1.1.529 coming soon….

 

Omikron! 

Letter is nonsense.

Hahahahahahaha!! Pattaya. Really , who cares about Pattaya unless you are talking about Pad thai and made a spelling error.

Pattaya was going off yesterday.

I can hardly stand the excitement

Someone obviously left the door to the loony bin unlocked for this     sad   thing to walk free.

The itch is growing

Are we sure William isn't Bryan "Expert in Everything" Flowers in disguise?

"If you open the bars, they will come..." ????

Pattaya is gone R.I.P. 

Does anyone remember nice place named Sihanoukville (Cambodia)

Transformed in rapid time by the big boy in the north.

One word remaining (missing) to kill/transform Pattaya.

That word is CASINO....coming to a station near you.

Seems any mention of Pattaya only generates giggles and sarcasm.

Not with me.... mention of Pattaya brings tears and distant good memories. It's finished. 

"Made in Thailand" bar section now completely demolished.

That's just stage 1 getting under way..

Walking street next....

Then rest to follow.

Pattayas only real attraction is being the largest red light city in the world. The sea is dirty and is bad traffic a lot of fighting and murders and a haven for criminals and sexpats.

But most people won't admit it. I was a majority shareholder and Executive Director of the leading hotel there. I think a lot of us would like to see the end of Pattaya . It was once a wonderful place in the late 60s. I went there every weekend whilst I was working in Bangkok. The sea was crystal clear full of large fish, there were no bar girls or bars. I watched it grow over the years as it deteriorated.

Is this for real?

do not drink and I have never been to Pattaya before.

 

Think he missed one word out coz he must have been p*:+-d  when he wrote that. 

Should've said, "do not drink tea and I have never been to Pattaya before"

Not sure I would agree. Sois 7 and 8 have been getting quieter for sometime now. This has just killed them off. There has been a big shift to the Soi Buakhao area for a while. LK Metro, Tree Town, Soi Chayapoon, Soi Honey and even down towards the market you have Action street.

 

I passed through Soi Chayapoon (Soi Pothole) last week and even saw some bars being refurbished after changing hands.

 

Its still there but been pushed back into the city a little more.

Try putting Hua Hin/Prachuap Khiri Khan murders into Google.................

 

Some pretty shocking property developers down that way too.

a simple request to Thai PM

What a load of patronizing drivel. My letter would be:-

Dear PM - resign!!

This is a fake story just to get reactions.... imagine anyone stooping so low as to praise Cha Cha for his efforts to kill half the population of his country with his inefficiency and greed ! ... 

you could never live it down .... the shame of it ! 

Pattaya has been had too many bars for many years.  Many of the owners continually complaining about lack of customers and money.  Same with restaurants many think they can come here and open a business with no experience or sense of proper service.

I see all this as a cleaning out.  In with the new, there are many new ones being built/renovated in the central area if one cannot see this then they are not here.  And several of the Soi 7 and 8 bars that are empty now have in fact been rented for future business.

Pattaya will have plenty of bars for future customers it by no means is some forgotten dead for ever place, only in some peoples negative minds.

Do I detect a sense of disbelief in this thread.....????

I hope that the writer isn't holding his breath while waiting for a reply.

People can't remember number sequences. They used to name the variants after the country in which they originated, but those places strongly objected to the association. WHO settled for naming them from the Greek Alphabet - eg Delta, Omicron.
