I read that Panorama has been bought by a Chinese man. This is the future, more and more Chinese will take over businesses in Pattaya both straight and gay. The recent economic history of China has aped the west but in a much faster form. From state owned everything to almost pure capitalism in under 40 years is incredibly fast. Now China is full of middle aged people who've made a bit of money and fancy a different life. Up steps Pattaya to offer exactly that. The gay bars of Pattaya rarely made much money but they gave their owners a working sabbatical from their home countrirs for a few years. If the Chinese model continues on the path it's followed for decades then we can expect plenty of them to do the same. So, if you hear of a Chinese man buying a gay bar in Pattaya you should rejoice because this might, just might be the second coming for all of us who holiday there.
