I was surprised yesterday along Jomtien beach they still do the Wednesday no chairs or Umbrellas allowed.

 

Plain crazy now we are in peak season, they cut down most of the shady trees so people jostling for the odd bit of shade, while slowly getting sunburn/skin cancer 

Vitamin D from the sun is good for you.

As long as you don’t lie in it all day long, every day it’s fine.

Keep up 🤡

Evidently Pattaya is doing something right considering how popular it is. Yet it is the butt end of jokes on here endlessly 

That depends on how many international (family) tourist actually return.  If told & sold as a family friendly beach resort town, I'd be really disappointed ... actually P'd off big time.

 

If told/sold as adult playground, then fairly spot on, as impossible to miss, and you don't need to go looking for it.

It's good the locals are complaining, since no one else would be listened to. The Russians, Indians , Chinese and the Euro/UK trash are all oblivious to this mess. Yes they have really screwed up Jomtien this time. The only way this area could ever be squared away would be from a special zone  : Naklua, Pattaya, Jomtien to be administered by a select Western group from California, Australia. Because the folks in charge now are lucky if they can tie their shoes every morning 

 

Thank heavens there's no American or Australian Trash ! ...I'm  Irish... better go home so ....

The Pattaya ladyboys will be happy. So many more gold necklaces and wallets to steal!

Pattaya Beach has become a hotspot for international tourists basking in the sun and enjoying Thailand's vibrant offerings.

Every year the Big Belly Whales swim ashore to mate. 😳

Pattaya has been getting the same old criticism from the same group of people for 20 years. And yet it keeps growing and getting better.

For who?

with beaches packed from sunrise to the stunning sunsets that Pattaya is known for.

Thanks Mr A I . On the OP photo there is hardly any room for anyone else wanting to join the Swarm!

You can hardly see the beach anymore. Too many condo projects so it feels like you are stuck inside a prison, can't move. The whole Jomtien area are gradually starting to become less interesting if you want a peaceful beach holiday.

 

The traffic are horrendous.

That is so they can clean the area

But it's the vendors that clean their patch of beach every evening, I've watched them
