Pattaya rebranding as family-friendly destination to boost tourism

Recommended Posts

Well Pattaya is a pretty large city and I think it does have the potential to attract families. Now I think it's mostly Thai families, who knows maybe they can attract some foreign families.

 

They do have a few go-kart tracks which are quite good, and perhaps some other amusement parks like that could do the trick. 

 

Many of us do consider it to be the PFP sex capital of the planet, and it will likely remain so in the coming decades. Especially with the dramatic decline of action on Phuket and Samui. Let us hope. LOL.

The elite are so Butthurt that their country and especially pattaya is the hub of low class activities. Too bad. It is what it is. If it wasn’t the hub of corruption also a lot of these elites wouldn’t be able to make the kind of money they do.

There are funds released for so-called "rebranding". How difficult is it to grasp?

Cute guys at something tourism assoc./federation just funneling those funds. Normal practice worldwide. Skimming. 

No body actually cares about that <deleted>hole, we all heard about "turning Pattaya into family friendly resort", so? Not even a small thing changed. 

Just as klongs in Bangkok - as sh*tty and filthy as they were 30 years ago. Even worse.

Lookat the promo for TOP STORIES side by side. Pattaya brands as family friendly.

Government officials in this country seriously have no shame, yet they care about what they drive and how they dress to save face. Turning Pattaya into a family friendly place requires a little more than just "rebranding". LMFAO. If Pattaya is rebranding to family friendly, then I'm rebranding to the new king of Morroco. All same same just different. :tongue:

Impossible on short run as the world knows Pattaya for what it really is. 

Family friendly??,  then address and solve the ffollowing issues: noisy motorbikes, double pricing, soi dogs, rip offs, dirty beaches and poluted sea water.

In business, it is often better to leave a thriving business alone, and try new marketing concepts in a different location.

 

Does Thailand have any lack of more beautiful destinations that could be made "family-friendly"?  No!

 

For example, Hua Hin, etc. 

 

Please do it elsewhere, and spread the wealth around!

Why not double down on its reputation.

 

Unbeknownst to many (on this forum),Pattaya has a plethora of family friendly activities.

 

However,it's main draw is it's   gorgeous women,debauchery,excellent nightlife,5 star hotels, and jus plain fun that's hard to find anywhere else.

 

It's a gold mine of a location and brings in tons of tourists.  

 

Plenty of other places to go if Pattaya isn't your thing.  

 

Another reason not to have ultra conservatives not run a government in any country.

In the 70s Singapore was almost totally fun devoid, and the brothels were kept well away from the tourists. The only place that was a bit of fun was Bugis Street, and when they closed that and cracked down on all that sort of thing they found that tourists don't like fun devoid places and that shopping isn't a tourist attraction. Got so bad they had to loosen up a bit.

Have the kids in after 10:00 PM, and Pattaya is fine.  Lots of activities for families. 

 

They don't have to shut anything down.  Just discourage the real raunchy stuff until after 9:00 PM.  Then they can pull out the boner pills, blue dildos and the ping pong balls for the husbands to sneak away.  I suspect a lot of the wives would welcome the respite.
