As for those intending to travel to Thailand, their judgement is only really questionable if their expectations are way out of line with what's likely to happen.
Expecting to see all the gogo bars in Pattaya open on 1 Dec, is way too optimistic. .
Frankly, I am a realist and have for the most part grown accustomed to the way things are and have noted and excepted the many changes that have occurred over the years. I enjoy a simple life here, I linger under no false illusions however, if I were simply a tourist coming at this point in time is a huge folly and reels either of wishful thinking, bad judgement or sheer stupidity.
