Besides the fact no one should be using the words “beautiful” and “ beach” in any sentence about Pattaya. The idea you can change it to a family destination is absurd. The Chinese and Indians come to Pattaya to see walking street. Get rid of it and you will cut their numbers down drastically. Reminds me of Las Vegas when they tried the same thing. It ended in an expensive debacle. Few years later the tag line was changed to what happens in Vegas stay in Vegas. The beach’s are better in the south, the shopping and attractions are better in Bangkok and the Thai culture is better - well everywhere else. Even the Thais only visit for a day or two. Pattaya is a money machine. Change it and you risk killing that off.

Too true! Insightful comments re Pattaya.

Hi, EdwardV and welcome to T-T. Feel free to tell us a bit about yourself in 'Introductions'. It's good to pick-up on those sometimes differing geographical perspectives.

Happy posting
