The "Uniqueness" of Pattaya

The Uniqueness of Pattaya.

 

Hardly a week goes by, without some "Governement Body" in Thailand proclaiming to "clean-up" Pattaya. (Not garbage-wise, well understood).

 

- Don't they understand that the "red-light-factor" makes Pattaya unique in this universe ?

- Don't they understand that after a successful "clean-up", Pattaya would just be another Beach Resort. Worldwide, there must be a thousand Beach Resorts. All of them look and feel the same. A "cleaned-up" Pattaya will just be 1 in a thousand others. Just a little dirtier (garbage-wise) and generally a little more polluted and a little more traffic congestion than the other 999 Beach Resorts.

 

With the "red light factor" gone, I know a few people that would not holiday in Pattaya anymore. Once the TAT and other Thai "think-tank" wizards realize, that they managed to kill the goose that lays the golden eggs, it will be too late.

 

The "bad-press" that Pattaya got from the "western-media" will be blamed. Disregarding the fact, that the "bad-press" had a more favorable effect on Pattaya Tourism, than any promotional campaign the TAT could ever launch.

 

Once more, the final analysis must be: "This is Thailand", no more, no less.

 

Recommendation: Visit Pattaya as often as possible before the "clean-up" is completed.

Cheers.

There are loads of places with hookers all over the world. Nothing unusual here at all, except possibly the level of "in-your-faceness".

Hardly an hour goes by without some boring TV member suggesting exactly the same.
