"Tourists come to Pattaya for nature not sex" says police chief as British businessmen blamed

[clockman]

Plenty of wild animals to see at night!

[Wallander4]

Another uniformed fool showing his ignorance

[Brer Fox]

".....Pattaya was the sex capital of the world and 1 in 5 of its female population were sex workers"

 

Some might say that 1 in 5 of the Pattaya RTP were monthly collectors of "insurance" from these same establishments he is complaining about. 

[trogers]

He made a boo boo...

 

Should have said that tourists came here for the temples. Would be more believable...

[SidJames]

Another symptom of Brexit methinks

[brucegoniners]

That is the funniest thing I've ever heard.

 

Oh yeah, when I came here as a tourist I came for the nature.

 

As in naturally naked woman crawling all over me, lol

[Estrada]

His talking about Pattaya 35 years ago when I first came here.

[elgordo38]

Anyone want to go partners on a nudist colony?? Its about as natural as you can get. Look but don't touch. No selfies. 

[007cableguy]

Maybe he should have a word with his fellow officers who own bars and have women on offer for a real insight to what's happening on the street as he is clearly deluded!

Would have been interesting if he had given an example of the "natural wonders of Pattaya" that tourists come to see.

[DavidB4]

He should get a job working for Trump!

[johng]

There is already a nudist group that do their stuff on some nearby island maybe best not to say too much or we'll be reading about them being arrested for going out in public with no underwear,or offering tasty dangly morsels to hungry fishes.

[Elreeco]

I think he's talking of a different Pattaya..... The one in the Lake District - maybe.....

[zyphodb]

It is not true,it is just lies. Pattaya is more about nature than sex.

 

Nooooooo.........    

[barryofthailand]

I think it's time to change police chiefs as this one has obviously got dementia 

[kalidescopemind]

Beach Road is literally a Drag (Queen), so cleanup there is a good idea.  I wonder how he blames the Brits?  I saw one Russian ring, and the rest seemed to be Thai.

 

I went to Pattaya because they have a lot of good priced housing, and it has a beach. 

[DM07]

Seriously, dude?

I mean...seriously???

 

[Rajab Al Zarahni]

I am most relieved to hear that the police are talking this problem seriously.I came here with the erroneous belief that Walking Street was a joint venture run by the National Trust and the Ramblers Association.

I am completely at my wits end and now on tranquilisers due to being pestered here for sex. Well done the Daily Mirror

Pattaya's police chief would have been better to just keep his mouth shut and let the Mirror article be forgotten.

He'd have been better to do some work and find out that this Mirror article is a rehash of a story several years old; and comment that the Mirror is a rag regarded as a comic and not a serious heavy weight publication.

 

But no, just deny as usual. Pattaya is not the sex capital of the world but there is a large sex and adult entertainment industry which whilst not all over Pattaya is fairly open where it is. And a large number of visitors to Pattaya are single males, groups of single males, looking for cheap booze and tarts. 

 

So how many of the sex establishments, bars, gogo, massage, clubs are owned by British Businessmen then? And how do those cunning Brits get the work permits for all those Russian and East European girls?

 

Coming out with comments like this could provoke a piece of real investigative journalism from a real newspaper - on all the issues. Ouch!

[Pattaya28]

Where shall we go for our holidays ?

Tanzania for it's "Safari Parks" ?

No.No. Pattaya for its' "Nature".

And we'll close our eyes to the "Elephant" abuse.

[realenglish1]

As always blame it on the foreigners  Common and this is the Police Chief 

Sure I believer people come to Pattaya for Nature

 

I just saw an Issan Deer running down Walking street

Strange deer  2 legs and 2 arms

 

Sure must be the nature

ROFL

[kannot]

Nong Nooch is great, stayed there a few  times.

[Prbkk]

Master of the droll. (No one could be so silly to believe it)

[steven100]

No, nobody goes to Pattaya for sex. It's all for nature .....

silly me. !!  I could have sworn I thought it was to get bonked or bonk someone.

 

guess I was seeing Pattaya in the wrong perspective .....

[transam]

Seems like the guy don't get out much.....

Well we do have golf in the day time!!

The truth always hurts, Does anybody know roughly the revenue from the entertainment sector?

It wasn,t all that long ago, before the automaking industry took over, that tourism was stated as the biggest money earner, but I would say that these figures would NOT reflect the massive amounts of money that change hands every night for "pleasant company". If these figures could somehow be assessed I think they would dwarf the sums spent on hotels and food, possibly regaining place as the top earner :)
