no matter

live for now

worlds gonna end in December 2012.......

Whatever will be - will be!

Pattaya will still be here along with the whingers predicting it's imminent demise!!

People who use words like "whingers" are often the ones who are most messed up......they can't or refuse to see reality.

Why? Most likely because they are heavily invested, are losing money due to the economic crises, and/or can't escape from Pattaya.

Their collective dream (e.g., Pattaya-Jomtien will become like Monaco) has become a nightmare they refuse to acknowledge.

So they get upset any time any person states the truth. And they throw insults are those in tune with reality, calling them "whingers."

Pattaya's reality is a bitch: crime has increased dramatically; the quality tourist social engineering project failed; the worst type of farangs are staying and many of the best have left already; the real estate market is crashing (actually a good thing); people pollution is a fact (along with traffic jams and air pollution); the infrastructure is piss poor (city smells like a sewer in many places); local inflation is high; development has spoiled the natural environment............etc., etc.

Well that only leaves a few places left. Forget Bangkok it will be an extension of the sea with a water world type existence run by Thaksin from his billion dollar yacht.

Phuket? will suffer a fate similar to Pattaya except it will be a no go zone since the jet ski and tuk yuk mafia fight it out Mad Max style in an all out war for control .

Chang Mai? The pensioners take control of the city knocking down all the guest houses and building bowling clubs and introducing an entry to the city age of 77+

Isaan? ....you dont even want to know

RE OP 1

sounds great

can't wait

income tax on retirees???

mai cowjai

there will be hookers everywhere

because prostitution will no longer be illegal

In 20 years time there will be a ladyboy as PM in this country and Pattaya will be the hottest place on the planet.
