TobyOliver Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Pattaya is becoming less desirable for real punters because it's reputation has outgrown the standard of service. There are huge numbers of tourists at night going out to take photos of "sin city" many come on busses for the night, many Russians walking to the supermarkets for there drinks That's all well and good, ...but it's not Sin City when your walking past a 70 year old Chinese grandmothers with there grand kids in tow. Prices have also gone up and the attitude from some of these girls has deteriorated and there's far less hot ones. Roll on Asian treaty, open the doors and let them all flood in! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thailiketoo Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Just seen a news report on Al Jazeera where Thai authorities are now blaming the slide in oil prices for the slump in tourism....how many more excuses can they find apart from the truth??? The price of oil is responsible for the crash of the Ruble and the crash of the Ruble is responsible for fewer Russian tourists coming to Pattaya. What is odd about hat? For sure there are other reasons but the price of oil is one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Russians are hurting but the rest of us are in better shape because of the oil glut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I left Pattaya because of the Russians - wouldn't go back now just because I'm past that part of my life. Maybe Pattaya can snare some North Koreans I hear Thailand has good relations with them now.
