TobyOliver Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 After one of my friends visited some of the Islands last year he happily announces "Thailand will be like the next Ibiza!" He couldn't quite understand why I was worried to here that :P I haven't been to these Places in Thailand. It's not my kind of thing Any thoughts?

Essex Exile Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 Not this old chestnut again. *sighs* There are many reason why Pattaya, or indeed anywhere in Thailand, will never be like Ibiza, but the over-riding reason is that it's simply too far from Europe and too expensive to get here, you simply wouldn't get the numbers. If anywhere in this region was to become the 'next Ibiza' it would be Bali, not this place. *Sighs again* 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post brewsterbudgen Posted August 3, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted August 3, 2014 Definitely not. The official closing times for clubs is 2am and this is now being enforced far more frequently. Many Ibiza clubs don't open until 2am. A club like Space could never exist in Thailand. Also, penalties for drug taking are far stricter in Thailand; are 'on the spot' urine tests part of Ibiza club culture? Clubs in Thailand are popular with free-lancing prostitutes; young clubbers obviously have no need or desire to pay for sex. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brit_Doggie Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 To many old people living in pattaya for the young drunken clubbers to consider pattaya as the next Ibiza,as 1 op pointed out Bali being more likely. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clubs in Thailand are popular with free-lancing prostitutes; young clubbers obviously have no need or desire to pay for sex. Spot on mate! Pattya is the city of endless crack-downs. Just when you think it's safe to go for a late night out some bunch of goons will turn up, put the lights on, empty the till (usually emptied every 30 minutes by the management as a safeguard from this) and demand everyone queues up for pee test. This has been going on for as long as I can remember. February and August seem to be the favourite crackdown months and it's not just Pattaya City BiB; the leeches come from Chonburi, Bangkok and all points of the compass to get their share. Attempting to run a disco, club or any venue for the young late-night crowd must be a nightmare. No, Pattaya will remain, for white westerners at least, a sort of tropical Eastbourne, for retirees looking to have a few beers and remember their glory days. I bet Pattaya has the highest proportion of retirement visas in the Kingdom. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is often brought on by a deficiency of tolerance and patience. I suffered from it some time ago until I was prescribed a daily dose of humility and acceptance. "Sighs". Time for my prescription. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
