Mickeymaus Posted February 24, 2023 Share Posted February 24, 2023 "These rankings are based on data from Thai travelers’ accommodation searches during the early part of last year, according to Agoda." There were still very strict Covid regulations at this time. I doubt that many families looked for holidays in Thailand at this time. Below a link describing Covid Testing at Tree Town. A friend of mine was forced to stay in a quarantine hotel here in Pattaya. He is still upset because his insurance didn't pay for this. "Mr. Yuttana Santiprakun, 28, a security guard at the market, told TPN media, “There have been many confirmed cases of Covid-19 at the market, although almost all have been mild or asymptomatic. Therefore, a major cleaning was held today." >>> https://thepattayanews.com/2022/01/19/big-cleaning-held-at-tree-town-market-in-pattaya-active-covid-19-case-finding-continues/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it wasn't for the foreigners, it would be the top choice. Thats very true, and not so, and we do to. If no russians, no Indians, and no Arabs, It would been a perfect destination. Said as an example of statements we read daily on AN. The trend is, more thais discovered typical tourist destinations for foreigners during covid, and they want let go of them so easily now. Many Thais saw the potential and have invested in these places now, and My guess Pattaya will change to more family destination than being a sexpat or sex tourist place in the future. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been hearing this since I visited Pattaya for the first time in the 90's.

From what I can tell, the bar scene is full of older experienced ladies who can not adopt to new times. Social media have exploded with young sexy girls posing, and getting their attention there.
