Re: Pattaya - New Crackdown
I hope it blows over. Where else to go? There is nothing like Pattaya in the world.
But I can't believe they handle it too serious. Too many Thais depend on sex tourism, directly or indirectly.
And sex is a big reason for a lot of tourists why they are visiting Thailand. Curious how much of a drop the number of tourists to Thailand will take, if this really is implemented. At that moment we will know for sure what percentage of tourists to Thailand were mainly sex tourists all these years. I expect a drop of 20% in tourism (gut feeling).

I tittered quietly at the idea of Gen Prayut Chan-o-cha sitting over his breakfast, reading the Daily Mirror, and spluttering his tea and toast everywhere when he came to that article.
However I almost pissed myself at Founty's description of it as "an international journal" - as if it was anything other than a rabid left-wing tits and bum rag which ranks marginally above the Daily Star and which publishes content geared at a reading-age of 8*
(* As a comparison, the average reading-age in the UK is (shockingly) 9 - with The Guardian having a reading-age of 14! This tells us all we need to know about the alleged quality of the rapidly dying U.K. press)
However, the most worrying thing is Founty's suggestion that Thai Govt. policy is made in reaction to the content of tomorrow's fish and chip wrappings. I say "worrying" because he's probably right!!
:D
Re: Pattaya - New Crackdown
i love how the Pm seemingly tried to act if he was surprised, and just now learning that Pattaya has prostitutes.
Qw'll aww qhT Gppwna I fuwaa. I would imagine he's hyping up what will actually happen though, because bnotherwise unemployment will skyrocket in Pattaya.
as if he's new information to him.

At least the owners of Boyz,Boyz, Boyz put loin cloths on the statues in front of their establishment to hide the huge erections from prying eyes.

Re: Pattaya - New Crackdown
Well, you first have to rub it a bit and see what happens. That is what the Chinese ladies like to do.

Clearly though it is not even worthy of that sordid description. Perhaps it's now on a par with the dreadful Times.

What part of your recent explanation of how you, as a blind man, type would lead to a sentence like that??
I mean, you told us that as you type, the computer reads out each letter.
Have you also now gone deaf?
