Pattaya is more about nature than sex...

Thailand is Cambodia's neighbor to the West, and this forum is dedicated to Thai news, stories, reviews, blogs, videos, Thai people and anything else related to the country. A lot of expats have both lived and worked in Cambodia and Thailand, and this area is a place to discuss all aspects of life in Thailand and what's going on there. Most topics are about Bangkok and Pattaya because of their larger populations of expatriates and tourists in those cities, but this is for all things Thai.

Nature is the real reason, not sex, says Pattaya police chief

Pattaya police chief has hit back at claims that Pattaya is only about sex by saying that tourists come to the resort for its natural wonders.

But he seems determined to clear out the streetwalkers nonetheless.

Apichai Kroppetch was responding to a story in the UK’s Mirror newspaper that said Pattaya was the sex capital of the world and 1 in 5 of its female population were sex workers.

And he has suggested the damage to the Pattaya image came from British businessmen who have set up in the sex trade at the resort.

Referring to the UK report he said: “It is not true,it is just lies. Pattaya is more about nature than sex.

He has a point. Daily Mirror's trash story on Pattaya...
Inside the world's sex capital: City dubbed 'modern day Sodom and Gomorrah' with highest number of prostitutes anywhere

Pattaya in Thailand has a reported 27,00 prostitutes, roughly one for every five people living in the east-coast city visited by more than a million men each year.

"Good guys go to heaven, bad guys go to Pattaya” reads the popular slogan on t-shirts flogged to tourists .
so, there are plenty of bad guys: every year more than one million visitors a year pass through the Thai resort known as the world's sex capital.

44 foreign deaths last year (2016) in Chon Buri, and I think all bar one or two were in Pattaya. There were 86 in Phuket https://www.farang-deaths.com/archive/#content

I really liked Pattaya back in the '80's when there was just one road and all the rest was dirt. Used to go to the TQ which opened in '78, it was run by Tom, a great guy. We used to practice Arnis together, and later run with the dirt road hash. Unfortunately all my pics of this time are on 35mm film and so the pics below are "borrowed".
