Hi guys, Just a quick followup. I've been in Pattaya/Jomtien for a week now... It is a strange aura of déjà vu! Things are apparently the same, but alas not the same. Yes, new condos everywhere. Yes, (eternal) street repairs everywhere. Yes, flooding when it rains. All the things we have come to associate with Pattaya. But something has changed. Somehow the public psyche has changed. Perhaps Thailand has "grown up" a bit. Perhaps it was the trauma of COVID which wracked the country. Perhaps it's fear of the future. The atmosphere has changed. The politicos keep talking about wanting "quality" tourists, and I keep wondering if that includes you, and me. Is there a new streak of conservatism that is bubbling up to the top (as alas is happening in quite a few countries). Something's brewing as Prayat Ocha "steps down" and the nourishing former King recedes ever more into history.
