alant Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 I thought it should be nearly transformed into an international sporting stadium by now. Isn't that the plan for Pattaya? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post jaywalker Posted April 4, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted April 4, 2015 (edited) Many years ago I was staying at the Windy Inn (far south end) on Walking Street. The princess was due to "have a procession" down Walking Street one morning for the dedication/grand opening of the Bali Hai pier. I thought it might be neat to attend, since I was there anyhow. I was picturing some parade with her riding by & waving at the crowds in a convertible or on a float or something.... Really didn't know what to expect. There was HUGE hustle all night to sweep the streets, and um, er, hang tarps over all the go-go bar signs. About 8:30 AM the street was lined with spectators, all of us having purchased small Thai flags (to wave in jubilation?) A blacked out convoy drove by at about 60 kph & the "parade" lasted all of 5 seconds. Edited April 4, 2015 by jaywalker 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew2027 Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 Reading the Headline, I thought it was going to be a 'CLEAN-UP' not a Street Clean.... Silly me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bushdoctor Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 Whew! That was quite a scare, I thought it meant clean up all the adult entertainment when I read the headline. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newnative Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 Hope his next stop is an inspection of the sidewalks on Jomtien Beach Road. They are in poor condition and falling into the sea at a number of spots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oneday Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 Total waste of time. They need to hire permanent workers to continually clean Walking Street and the beach...then they are showing sincerity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlackJack Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 the headline fooled me for a minute I thought they were talking about cleaning up the crime, seedy night life, the drugs, the P word that doesnt happen, the naughty shows, etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pattaya28 Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 Walking Street, like any other major "tourist attraction", should be cleaned "daily", not when the Pattaya Mayor wants a "photo-shoot" of his "goodness". What's the big deal ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bartender100 Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 Would be better to have a campaign to clean up the beaches and improve the water quality, some parts of Jomtien are disgusting, public awareness is needed, a Thai family will picnic in a spot, get up and go and leave everything for someone else to clean up, except there is no one else 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirtycash Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 walking street will allways be walking street. the only way to improve walking street is to remove that noise from the bars in arab quarter !! i would like to see them all closed down .

Maroon Watcher Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 The truth is IT can be a great entertainment street for all, including families - real traditional, and "modern" entertainment Mosy people I viewed walking down the street were actually just looking - they didn't want to get involved with the street girls/boys (Obviously later in the night its more party people.) There can be shows for everyone - making it respectable, and busier Perhaps with a certificate above every door eg U, PG and yes X with no real hard X until after 12....... The same venue (and girls/boys) can have 2 types of shows - one before 12 and one for afters.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sir charles IV Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 A lot of mess is made by Arabs and Africans as well as sub continent tourists. Spitting, throwing waste on side walks etc. Control the source and you'll get a better long term solution. It also apples to body odor. Yuk.
