Hello

Today I read an article in BKK Post, 'Sin City' races NCPO to clean up its act(Title page).

Do you think it's possible to make Pattaya a better place, eliminate street prostitution, beech scummers, thieves, criminality in general?

Or it's only talking(proclamations) and nothing will change?

Beach operator: "I'm scared the NCPO will come and clean up the beach like they did to Phuket and Hua Hin ... "

Does it mean that in Phuket is no taxi mafia anymore, less prostitutes and so on?

Maybe it's time to see some positives in junta, no?

LB prostitutes form Pattaya: "They pretend to be a customer or get some foreigner to pretend to be a customer. They negotiate the price and once we agree police reveal themselves and arrest us".

(I guess there's a new job in Thailand for foreigners.)

Another LB prostitutes form Pattaya: "What is new to all of us is that the police lock us up in the office until the morning ... ".

Can I looking forward for better tomorrows or I'm only naive?

M.

Those people who have decided to live there do this because of all the things the NCPO tries to get rid of. And those who don't shouldn't care. Let them have their little adult playground. Why would you hope for a "better tomorrow"? If you don't like it there, just move.

Why did you chose to live in Pattaya, then complain about what Pattaya is ?

This is leading to a political discussion.
