pop3 Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 I see on our local tv station that pattaya is to be promoted through the media and the rotary club as the city of peace, seem's to me like holding a red flag to a bull, They might as well say come here and blow us up.

"City of Peace" I guess the people that came up with that idea haven't been watching the local news programs lately. It has been loosely suggested that the risk to Pattaya from certain radical elements is minimal, as there is a large contingent of their bretheren here that would immediately become an endangered species.

Thaiquila Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 Read a funny article yesterday saying the Pattaya tourism people held a press conference for travel writers promoting the idea of Pattaya -- city with beach.

alexth Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 Yeah, it's the "Rest In Peace" spot, I can't say it's not fun if you know the rules, but it's far away from peace, that's what it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pattaya_Fox Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 It`s really all down to each individual`s concept of peace.......now sitting at a bar on Beach Rd with the sun on yer back and drinking a glass of the most delicious libation.... whilst viewing the most gorgeous.......and then there`s the sweet music in the background......all embellished with the magnificent aromatic aromas of Asian culinary delights.....and the beeep! beeep! beeep! of the lively baht.....oh dear, back to reality Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kerryd Posted February 19, 2006 Share Posted February 19, 2006 Fox, is there any contest for target practicing at journalists? :D The only reason Dick Cheney shot the lawyer is because there weren't any journalists around to take aim at ! Invite Dick "The Rifleman" Cheney to a target shoot at the Pattaya Shooting Club. Then invite the local media. Problem solved The good part is, you won't have to get Dick all liquored up beforehand, because he'll probably do that on his own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Humphrey Bear Posted February 20, 2006 Share Posted February 20, 2006 Pattaya will always be known for what it has specialised in for the last forty years. If these tourism types want to attract more people to the area they should differentiate between Pattaya and Jomtien - promote Jomtien for families, Patters for Blokes.

Here it is! I mean, here it is! Pattaya City Pattaya City The Lord don't like it here Pattaya City Pattaya City Your reckoning day is near Pattaya City Pattaya City Here's what he's gonna do Gobble up this town And swallow it down And goodbye to you Will you go to heaven? Will you go to hel_l? Either repent, or fare thee well Gotta take care of Pattaya City Comes the end, and it won't be pretty Here it is! I mean, here it is! Here it is! I mean, here it is! Here it is! I mean, here - it - is! Aaaaaa men! (swiped and amended from the musical "Paint Your Wagon", starring....... Clint Eastwood !)
