Future of Pattaya?

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.

I was always happy that Pattaya existed and would act as a magnet for all those (stereotype) elderly sextourists...less of them on the other islands. I can understand that Pattaya is of great fun if you intend to have a stereotype holiday in Thailand. Fortunately Thailand has to offer many different setting to spend my holiday. What I cant understand is that people fly around the world to hang out on a beach with filthy seawater. So i guess if you take away the flesh trade from Pattaya, tourism would collapse.

Is that raw sewage (doubtful) or treated waste water from that building, which looks like a sewage works, in which case the dramatic picture isn’t telling us the true story.

All countries dump treated waste water into the sea/rivers, even Sweden!

That looks like the end of Beach Road at the start of Walking Street.

When I was last there I only went to walking street once & had a good night, held the balloon as it was pierced by a dart shot by an extremely beautiful & impressive woman 8) Been there done that! What I liked about Pattaya was that you had the option! It was a draw card & not just for "stereo typical sex tourists" :boring: Glad I seen it in it's glory, shame that it maybe gone!

fyi glory days for pattaya were in the 80's, when the russians owned many of the gogo's on soi diamond and walking street
and marine bar was open and the upstair disco closed when the sun came up
ahh Baby ago go

do u think all the 4-5 star resorts, hard rock resort, golf courses, numerous malls, tourists attractions, water parks and world class marina were built with the oer 50 sexpat in mind? :stir:
