george Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 SATIRE: Pattaya Officially Changes Name to ‘The Infamous Seaside Resort of Pattaya’ THE INFAMOUS SEASIDE RESORT OF PATTAYA — Known worldwide as a den of crime and vice, Pattaya municipal officials have decided to embrace its reputation by officially renaming the city “The Infamous Seaside Resort of Pattaya”. Explaining the decision, Mayor Tik Kunplome said, “We found that almost every international press report referred to us as ‘the infamous seaside resort’. Rather than waste more money trying to brand our city as a family-friendly destination, we’ve decided that the moniker will help bring in more of those tourists to whom we cater best. Let’s not pretend anymore. Sex, drugs, prostitution — this shit sells.” The mayor said to generate fresh international publicity for The Infamous Seaside Resort of Pattaya, police would raid go-go bars, briefly detain some of the town’s best-known pedophiles, throw a few old foreigners off balconies, and ask the town’s waxworks museum to resurrect its Hitler billboard. -- NotTheNation.com 2011-07-29 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Misterwhisper Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 Finally a mayor with a sense for reality. Isn't his dad (Somchai Khuenpluem) still a fugitive from the law? To finally embrace Pattaya as place where most of businesses are directly or indirectly dependent on prostitution is as bold a move as it is smart. The truth shall set you free! Perhaps it would be good for the Tourism Authority of Thailand to also finally admit the fact and cease TV commercials like "Pattaya, Pearl of the East. Enjoy!" and instead replace them with plainly inaccurate messages like "Pattaya, Gem of the Eastern Seaboard, where the polluted sea is going to strip the skin off your body and land-based vixens of any type will soothe you in amazing ways.". But when have you ever encountered a government official who got it right in this country? Where are they holidaying anyway? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its that large word written in red and bald in the beginning of OP Just in case you do not, Satire is A funny piece of writing that usually makes fun of foolish or evil behavior.
