They should really be turning Pattaya into another Las Vegas rather than trying to clean it up and make it more family.
I see tourist families in Pattaya, they look confused and not that happy.
Thai's are so far off on gambling though as i remember the police recently raiding the Bridge Club of Pattaya for illegal gambling.
Gambling is illegal in Thailand but cock fighting is the biggest betting sport in the country.
If you go out to the country most men have a fighting cock.
Thailand is going to have to do stuff to keep up, they have nice beaches but there is plenty more nice beaches around the world.
The beaches they have are starting to show wear. Pattaya beach is a lost cause which is why it is fine for over development.
With gambling and legalized weed becoming prevalent everywhere these days, Thailand tourism could suffer over time.
Having the rich Chinese coming to Thailand might be ok, but China is poised to seriously over run Thailand over time.
Chinese tourist could end up pushing out western visitors, and the Chinese generally spend way less money.
As Thailand alienates the west, this is bound to happen.
