According to several recent news releases (as sketchy as they always are) Pattaya is going to try to attract Thai tourists during this high season - because the reopening of Pattaya to foreigners is being delayed.

According to the PattayaOne article below they plan to host firework displays, food festivals, etc., as a means of attracting Thai visitors. It doesn't sound like it's going to work to me...(there I go being pessimistic again). Maybe if they throw in a buffalo race and a couple of pie eating contests they may stand a chance. In any event, the reopening is being pushed to November or beyond for the logical reasons. I'm not even going to bother mentioning what those reasons are again. A nine year old would understand this.

Good luck to Pattaya. I wish the City the best in its endeavors. If they have a buffalo race I just may go myself.
