You live here, you come on regular trips!

What do you think is missing in pattaya and why?

class.

-Gas station in central Pattaya.

-Sidewalks on soi Buakow.

-Lie detectors. Haha,,,

A Wendys. Because I have not had a spicy Chicken Fillet for quite sometime

A theatre district

An opera house

A Chinatown

An art film house

some quiet greenery spots. Need to set aside some open spaces before every sand lot is taken up. There are still some undeveloped areas around. Make a few spots little parks. Lets' clean them up, patrol them a little bit. Just an outdoor spot to sit and read a newspaper, read a book. I know the merchants and tourism organizations tend to classify that as "dead" non-revenue earning space, but that is not really true. A city that has little parks increases its attraction. Heck if necessary, privatize the lot. Put some food vendors on the edge of the property, not all over the darn place and charge them some nominal fee to "park" on the land. I don't think any body makes much money off an empty un-developed lot. Shouldn't cost much to fix up and plant a few shade trees. Any interested financial developer out there? This kind of "greening" can go over big with local politics and make good headlines. Less CO2 More O2, cooler temps, help with carbon footprint, etc. Allow some night time walking in the place, hand holding with your girlfriend. A slight respite from then noise of walking down some streets

A decent gym

A theatre district

An opera house

A Chinatown

An art film house

A cravat is so you...

- A clean park where you can just sit down and have a picnic or relax without touts or scammers hassling you. Maybe a nice fountain there, a jogging path, or something along those likes like normal cities have.

- A safe bicycle riding path that is not on the street. Could be in the park.

- Wendy's

- A safe and clean beach. Clean sand. Clean water. Safe. No sewage dumped into the water. No jet skis where people swim.

- A non-broken sidewalk along the beach. Could be another place for the bike path.

- A real police force.

A casino , to attract wealthy gamblers & a fast train airport link.

-Gas station in central Pattaya.

-Sidewalks on soi Buakow.

-Lie detectors. Haha,,,

Lie Detectors Hahahah !!!! They would have to be industrial strength quality to cope with all the "Walter Mitty " characters in this dam_n City .

Indoor ski slope, monorail.....oh, and a Nando's Chicken place would be nice.

The past.

Sanity and Logic are missing for sure. The pavement in town and on Jomtien's new 2nd road and beach is falling apart and 2 km away where the jungle is taking over there is a squad of people laying a brand new section not anywhere near where any one walks..!!!

I agree about a large public park like BKK's Lumpini.

Clean Beach. Clean Sea. Clean rubbish free back Sois. No plastic bags, no rubber bands and no styrene boxes.

We can but dream..........never happen....

There are some green areas in Pattaya- up on Pratumnak Hill there are some lovely shaded paths on the hill-side there in amongst the trees plus there's an outdoor gym and a track up there as well. Its not far - maybe 15-20 mins walk from C Pattaya.

And the sea is nowhere near as dirty as a lot of posters maintain.

Indian or African gogo bars. We already have Russian ones so why not add some others.

I agree with you on the park at pratumnak hill, though the child's play area is falling apart, it's a real shame, as I enjoy taking my son and wife's brothers there.

As for the sea, it's disgusting, black polluted and horrible. It's full of cr^p.

Agree about the need for green spaces and an honest police force. Also....

A proper public transport system. Bus routes.

Jet skis with scratch resistant paint.

Casinos only open to tourists. Not a gambler myself but these bring in huge amounts of revenue from the Chinese market.

A symphony orchestra.

A branch of Chick-Fil-A.

Two troll posts from the same poster removed, If you have nothing worthwhile to post then don't post rubbish.

Nah - don't think its that bad - ace for swimming when the tide is in, and great for cooling-off when the tides out.

I think Pattaya has lots going for it but I would put the beach and the sea at the top of my list.

A better, bigger music store.

Acoustic jams

A maximum weight requirement for female tourists.

He he he some of the locals lasses are looking rather hefty as well.

I'm in China at the moment and the city I'm in is full of the most amazing looking women - and I don't think I've seen one overwieght woman yet !

Footpaths to walk on that are free of vendors, electric cables and broken slabs / potholes. And wide enough for more than one person.

Classical music performances.

Thumbs up to some green areas.

To those who miss that in Patts, you can go to the hill, there is a park on top, but it is a bit out of the way, it would of course be nicer to ave a couple right in the city.

I would also very welcome a petrol station, two are needed, really. One north Pattaya, one south Pattaya.

They should clean up of bikes and food carts the third lane of beach road between Pattaya Klang and WS, and make one lane where baht buses would be confined to. Stops only allowed to let people off or on.

The plan to remodel the beach is also a good one, make BR 4 lane wide from Klang to WS, with proper sidewalks, space for parking cars, bikes and food carts.

Pattaya Tai is also congested with traffic, no idea what can be done about that though. With traffic to Jomtien increasing, it could be a good idea to cut a proper road through from Pattaya Tai to Thepprasit...

Casinos could be a good idea to bring more revenues in.

The buses are a good idea for areas where the baht buses are not doing a very good job. I would suggest having buses constantly traveling the following routes:

Bang Lamung hospital -> Na Kluea -> Dolphin Roundabout -> Pattaya Nua Bus Station -> Bangkok Hospital (and back)

Na Kluea -> Road 3240 -> Wat Pong

Dong Tan Beach -> Pu Pen Restaurant -> Soi Chayapruek up and down -> Dong Tan Beach

Foodmart -> Thepprasit -> Tesco -> Khao Talo (up and down shuttle)

Pratamnak Soi 6,5,4, -> Bali Hai -> Sai 3 -> Big C South Patts.

Beach Road Pattaya Klang -> Petronas Pattaya Klang (Sukh) -> Nern Plerb Wan -> Nongprue Stadium

Petronas Pattaya Klang -> Soi Siam Country Club until 7/11 on the lake near the CC gate

...

I'd make foreigners pay 10 baht per ride, free for Thais

Then, about a monorail/fast train from Bangkok: Good idea if the BKK side terminates in Northern or Western Bangkok, such as Nothaburi, Chatuchak or Don Muang, because eastern and southern BKK are easy enough to reach. The main advantage of the rail is to cut through BKK traffic jams.

Cheap boats to Koh Larn that leave Bali Hai at a later time than now. I feel 14:00 is not too late.

An English (and why not German, French, Italian, Russian, Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Indian, etc.) speaking "know it all" telephone service, priced 5 or 10 baht / minute, answering any question and giving general info and able to order taxis, book hotels, and other services for you.
