It seems that Pattaya authorities have changed their mind and will go ahead with the firework display at the New Year countdown celebration on December 31st.

 

According to a Facebook post from the Pattaya Mayor, the New Year celebration will include national-level fireworks displays but only on December 31st in Pattaya and Koh Larn. The fireworks will be prohibited only from December 29th to 30th as per the previous announcement.

 

Apart from this, the authorities said the countdown event in Pattaya will feature concerts and other activities such as shopping and eating as usual.

So the booking cancelations they were seeing will be reversed? millions will come. I wonder if the PMs veiled messsge or TATs statement made the difference, or the crying of hoteliers....

Good news. I wonder if people cancelling hotel bookings caused the change of heart.

Just had a look at booking.com (29 to 4).

Not seen that many booked places in central Pattaya in a long time.

At one of places I was with about 5 guests during high Covid times :smile:

Will this be the only U-turn?

Have they got the the approval of the highest authority?

Thailand the land of U-turns.

I belived a Elected governor can overwrite PM rullings.

? Only elected governor is in Bangkok, so no relation to Pattaya. Governors are hire and fire by interior ministry which is under supervision of the PM.

And highest authority is someone else than PM.

I expect at a new higher price point.

 

" Thailand the land of U-turns. "

  Thailand the land HUB of U-turns.

 

Now I someone will wonder if it was all an elaborate ploy to get themselves/friends rooms late in the day.

Do you know much about how Thailands Governors are put in place? I think not. Bangkoks Governor is the only one who is elected by the people, and that's because it is its own administrative entity. The other provincial Governors are put in place by the Government.

Oh <deleted> make up your mind.... what a load of weak willed back pedaling nincompoops!

 

 

 

I would actually give them some credit for what is a bit of an iron balls decision.

 

Given the (unpublished) situation, the U turn must have had the the approval from THE highest authority.

These types of decision and back pedaling happen often. The cannabis situation another example... it also happened frequently wrt covid procedures. I really don't care whether the fireworks go ahead or not, it is wrong that people who make plans are getting messed about from pillar to post....

They have iron balls until someone else pipes up!

Pattaya's mayor who appears to be making the decision was voted in by an election held in May this year.

They must have realized how much money they would lose? I bet TAT is pleased with the decision?

On-off on-off  like a pair of Pattaya girls underwear.

Thai style indeed.
