StefanBBK Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 I made a mistake a couple years back and went to walking street with the family. The place is definately not for shopping..... we were not impressed and frankly I felt bad about exposing the kids to that scenery. Understand however the attraction for younger folks and singles..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes walking street is not for shopping its an party entertainment zone nightlife redlight district..u probably better of in your isaarn village where the only entertainment venue in a radius of 15 km is the 7/11.

clementpeter Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 tons of people living and visiting Pattaya come for the golf , other sports as well as adventure holidays , fishing , cruising islands , etc..etc. Pattaya is nothing compared to some of the red light districts in Bangkok , and other cities including places like Hamburg , which make it look like kids play. Most farangs I know will very occasionally visit walking street , for a night out of fun, including dancing , dining , etc rtc again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiggo Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 18 hours ago, little mary sunshine said: Pattaya has lots of options. Great shopping Malls lots of beautiful tourist attractions....However please stop telling tourists, and advertising the beautiful ocean and beach. The water is filthy and polluted, the beaches are loaded with trash, plastic bags,beer bottles and general filthy trash. I have lived inPattaya 7 years, only went into the filthy water once....you must go 7-8 km south for a decent, cleaner beach and water or to one of the islands. As a tourist, make sure your Hotel has a wonderful pool....that is the only water to enjoy in Pattaya!! Designer and top brand shopping more expensive than London or New York... Also the smell of "Poo" on the streets, very nice for the image. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
micmichd Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 The smell of dust in Western cities is for sure not better than the smells of Pattaya. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What makes you think Issan village? Never been there. Prefer Bangkok, Hua Hin, even Bang Saen for that matter. Nothing wrong with Pattaya, if that is what one is looking for. I just dont recommend it for family with kids. Sent from my SM-G925F using Thaivisa Connect mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rkidlad Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 Let these deluded Thais sit around a table complimenting each other and agreeing Pattaya is a wonderful holiday destination. For the rest of us who live in the real world, we have eyes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cake Monster Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 The Karaoke type places are in every village, not just in Isaan. They are " traditional " places of relaxation for hard working Thai business men after a hard days work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gemguy Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 (edited) Well of course it is...of course it is. In-between all the sexing and sinning people have to sleep a little and then eat a little and relax a little and prepare themselves for more sexing and sinning...lol The perfect hedonistic balance...I surmise....for those persons interested in doing so. Meantime there are lots of other things to do around Pattaya and surrounding area ...that is if you are interested in doing so...

NextStationBangkok Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 Today raid, and tomorrow again party starts... I have never seen anything closed down in 15 years, either relocate or reopen. Otherwise more than these bar girls, police will starve to death.

trianglechoke Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 (edited) I can't believe this is even a discussion. I say the following things without always having the data to back it, the common sense factors feels strong. I havn't been to patta all that much, less than 10 times in t he last13 years, 7 of which were living in in Thailand. For me, everything pattas offered was in bkk where I lived, it just meant having female issan 'friends' I have NEVER paid a prostitute in Pattaya for sex, but I and hundreds of tall muscular fair-looking guys meet a lot of hot women who, when they know you aren't the customer type, suddenly are only to happy t night the night off work and hangout' or 'in' until breakfast (midday) the next day and their day off sometimes extends longer. It is the difference between someone u have to shag and someone you wantt be shagged by. Anyway, I have never met a man you didn't go to pattaya with sex not on the mind. even all these married guys sneak off for a few hours playing snooker with the lads and squeeze one in, bonckonian girls... Well I have lost count of how many go there for a sexual fun being part of the deal. I can honestly say I have never met a human who said they were going to patts to observe non human nature, male or female.... just on the law of averages I should have met some for whom the sex isnt even part of it. I have met many who claimed they went there for temples withh the fat wife, but 4 beers later they were talking about being blow in windmill bar while the wife was getting a foot massage Edited February 27, 2017 by trianglechoke love Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NY pattaya beach. of curse if you go to the "islands" the water will be clear, but the beach? lots of luck! Agreed. If they are talking about Larn, that is as ruined an island as it is possible to find. It's as though they set out to destroy any vestige of beauty on the whole place- they certainly succeeded. The water may be clear, but don't turn around to look at what is on the land. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could make it into the greatest beach in the world, but it wouldn't make a difference. The rest of Pattaya is a rotten mess. The roads, pavements, services are a disgrace. Pavements never been fixed in 30 years. Take a walk up Soi Post Office or Soi Yamato- same broken concrete roads and disintegrating sidewalks as first time I ever walked up them ( a very long time ago ). Don't think they have ever been cleaned since then either. To me, the question isn't about the "crackdown", but what do they think will happen if all the bars and girls vanished? If they wanted to make Pattaya upmarket, they'd have to bulldoze the lot and start over- and that is a million to one not going to happen. I have to conclude that they don't have a clue about what they are doing, and are just blundering along without any idea of what they want instead.
