Ex TAT employees now working as beach vendors ….. allegedly their counting has improved!

They deny it, but tourism has been in decline for years before Covid, so the expectations weren't high.

And if you open any place after 19 months of restrictions, the first weekend is going to be well visited!

That's no guarantee for anything structural.

What a ghastly sight. Hundreds of overweight tourists buy cheap garbage products from people that are not from the Eastern sea board. Thailand has some stunning and brilliant coastlines but this isn't it. The vendors spoil it.

At a normal walking pace you can walk from one end of beach road to the other in less than 40 minutes.  From terminal 21 to beach road soi 2 takes about 10 minutes.  IF you dont want to walk there are songthaews for 10 baht.  No one needs to drive in Pattaya IMO.  Baht bus and then walk is the way to save the environment, make roads walk-able again, get people out of their gas guzzling polluting cars and motorcycles.  Then the beach road would be safe and quiet!!!  The darn motorcycles are getting louder and louder each year - it is loud and annoying. . Make people walk more or use EV's.

you have to sympathize with these vendors,restaurants and hotels who gone out to restock, on what little money they have left, on broken promises from the powers that be.Which causes more harm, trying to survive in these difficult times

It's one of the things I love about Pattaya the most, between walking and using the baht bus you can easily get around central Pattaya.  The convenience and ease can't be beat.
