britmaveric Posted December 31, 2006 Share Posted December 31, 2006 Go enjoy yourself!!! No one bothers with Patters. Watch the drunk drivers though!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jingthing Posted December 31, 2006 Share Posted December 31, 2006 (edited) Haven't heard a word. But we don't know who is behind the bombings. My guess, if it is internal Thai politics, very remote that Pattaya would be a target. If it is radical Islamists, a better chance, based on the Bali bombings.

markuk Posted December 31, 2006 Share Posted December 31, 2006 could happen wherever you are in the world in this day and age, no sense worrying about it too much after all you could get run over tommorow, probably more chance of that in Thailand.

Plenty of explosions going on in and around Pattaya tonight... none of the lethal kind yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eljeque Posted December 31, 2006 Share Posted December 31, 2006 As nothing has yet shown the bombers to be interested in disrupting the tourist trade--I did not hear anything about tourists, foreigners or their areas mentioned on the news, I would not expect Pattaya to be on the top of the list. ANd, if you are going to go out, miss the hot spots. I am staying in to avoid the drunks driving and their fireworks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jai Dee Posted December 31, 2006 Share Posted December 31, 2006 Just as a warning to anyone contemplating driving tonight... beware... the police are out in force on all major entries and exits to Pattaya... and some of the minor ones as well. Stay safe... if you're going to drink... don't drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glenbat Posted December 31, 2006 Share Posted December 31, 2006 Wish I could be there. Who cares about bombs? Quite possibly those who've either lost loved ones or seen people they know suffer? Just a thought Happy New Year all of you lucky lucky so and so's in Pattaya! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raro Posted January 1, 2007 Share Posted January 1, 2007 had a scary moment when we wanted to go back to the car at about 1:40 in the morning. The Big C at North Pattaya was sealed off and a bomb defusing team was checking a motorcycle parked next to a cooking gas cylinder. Ambulance on standby. Luckily a false alert and thanks to whoever found it suspicious and alerted the police. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
