Sir, your video "Game over - Pattaya is changing forever now" is a masterpiece. It should win an award for being a #1 documentary of Pattaya. Everything was perfect, the scenes, your words, the background music. I have not seen such a work of art on RUclips for a long time. Be proud of yourself sir. I hope someone from RUclips staff see's this and adds it to "Trending"
Yes all is sad too see, I'm afraid no one knows the answer. Been going to pattaya since about 2004 but this year we're giving it a miss, too many hurdles to jump just to gain entry. I realise this is happening all over the world. I have a thai wife and we live now in England. My wife is a british citizen now. I'm 60 and thinking about retirement now, but maybe this may come in a couple of years time. Stayed down jomtien many times so know it well. Do you own your own condo around there ? Got lots of things floating around my head at the moment, but for now we are happy here. Bri and frei east Yorkshire.
It is game over for Pattaya. The new "long stay" visa is going to fail because people don't want to pay the ridiculous quarantine prices. Secondly, the junta will shut the borders again at the slightest hint of new infections or transmissions. There are also some people, high up in society waiting to buy the buildings in Pattaya when the landlords default on the rent, getting a valuable building in a good location very cheap. Girls are now asking higher prices than pre covid, and the baht is tied to the USD so will remain strong, so it will be more expensive. Bars are closing daily, keys being handed back and girls going elsewhere to work. Pattaya is finished guys, totally and utterly finished and Thailand is not far behind it either.
Nah. There is no shortage of poor, desperate attractive Thai women who will be drawn back to that area, nor is there a shortage of horny, desperate, seedy men who will flock to the area. Yes, the bars or whatever will reopen because, also, there is no shortage of people who will know how to flip a buck out of the horny, desperate expats and tourists who will come. For me...I have no interest in visiting Pattaya but it doesn't mean I'm not a horny guy potentially. I'd just rather see the rest of the country. I have no objection to men and women coming to terms for their sexual transactions.
Pattaya will back once the boarders open, the only problem is the poverty, pain and suffering that the people have to go through, until it does. But Pattaya will rise again.
So sad. Was there in March and April this year and saw the changes. Not overnight, but changed so fast. Was only meant to be there for a week before heading north but transport was cancelled. If anything, the despair I saw was heart breaking. And your video shows the despair I will never forget.
It’s sad to see my favourite place on earth look like this but Pattaya has survived many hardships including the gfc while bars may change hands and those long standing bars those mighty vanguards maybe fall away but something new will come in and take there place. I truly think Pattaya will always be Pattaya it’s just a time of change it will rise again the moment western countries open up and allow travel. Many people will flock to Pattaya and walk down that amazing neon lit street and get lost in the endless sois. Pattaya was built on pleasure and fantasy. That’s why I made my first trip but it’s not the reason I have returned time and time again Pattaya captures more then just fantasy it is a place that feels like home to many it can a break from reality but also has the potential to be your reality should you wish it. Thai people Thai culture and the city of Pattaya maybe down but they are certainly not out. Not when there are literally millions of people from every walk of life just waiting to return. It will be a slow recovery but recover it will
Don’t forget that this kind of place will always exist in the world. When things are back to normal, it’s more likely that a place like Pattaya with the roots already established to be the place that gets going again, as opposed to a new city that has never seen this scale of nightlife. Have faith, things will get back eventually.
Thanks for the suitable music under your close-ups, Uli! _"Everything has its time..."_ A time for fishing. A time to catch foreign money. And just now time is comming to swing the demolition balls. 😨
A very thorough and in depth review of the Pattaya situation now. No wonder even the student are organising rally and dare to speak against the military government and even the monarch. A lot of their family members are out of jobs for months now.
Uli is wirklich nichts los dort?? Is mir schon klar das jetzt nicht der bär step aber in der nacht siehtt man das es bischen was läuft auf RUclips oder sind das alte Aufnahmen und die leute stellen es rinfacch jetzt rein? Würde mich echt interessieren
The good thing about tropical countries is that everything can be rebuild very fast. And people are used to catastrophy. I'm confident... I only hope that I would able to go back as soon as possible. With snowbird season starting things are gonna move... Thanks for the depressing ride...😥😥😥
Alain... I am confident than you will stay home with your wife....Thailand nightlife is over... Forget it.... I had a bar in Pattaya & Phuket..... it's over.
Hi Uli, ein tolles Video von Dir. Mir steckt ein Kloß im Hals von diesem wirklich sehr emotionalem Video, da hast Du Dich selbst übertroffen. Mal sehen wie das neue pattaya nach dieser Misere aussieht. Bleib gesund und beste grüße Jürgen 🙋♂️
In 1988 I went to Pattaya for the first time. It was always a love-hate relationship. But now my heart is bleeding. Btw. can you post a link to the music? Thanx
According to several major Universities in the USA , A healthy person has a much greater chance of dying in an auto accident than dying from the Bug , Is the Bug over rated?? I am not qualified to determine the answer such an important question but I do give credence to top Universities !! Is there something we are missing ? Please stay safe Uli ...
Like the UK i understand the ThaI Government are trying to promote Domestic tourism but i know this doesn't compare with Foreigners spending. Major changes ahead i can see.
Sheeesh, don’t you think you being a little too dramatic with the music and your dialogue? One thing in life that remains the same is change. When Thailand opens up will it be the same? Who knows. Will it be different? Maybe . But whatever it will be I will take a slow weekend in Pattaya over a average vacation to anyplace in the West.
No one will return since there is nothing to return to. No one (Thai or farang) will have any money to re-open the bars etc...the Thai government's plan is working perfectly. It's done for 4-5 years ahead. Thanks for the memories Pattaya.
Seriously it is done no industry can take that kind of hit not a chance the place is finished and in all honesty if it hadn't been for the easy availability of sex on tap who realistically would give a toss that a seaside town in S.E.Asia is slipping of the radar sorry if this offends anyone but I'm only keeping it 100.
I read in news here, some experts talking about corona gonna hold for 4 year. But then other experts talking about normalizing before xmas... Im thinking no one knows... Tho i see Bangkok and Phuket, have made it better when comes to bars and so..
The whole western world is suffering, the south esst asian countries have been relatively spared due to strong govs, and less potent strains of the corona. Thailand will be ok, the military government has things well under control, tourism is the least of their worries for now. Dont worry and just be happy, as the song goes, staying safe and healthy is the new priority
I gave a thumbs up but this vid was a lament 😞😢 . O World ! O Life ! O Time ! On whose last steps I climb , Trembling at that where I had stood before ; When will return the glory of your prime ? No more - O no more ! . Percy Bysshe Shelley .
Today Tuesday 15.09.2020 Thai Government has allowed to get a 90 days Visa including quarantine with the option to extend it two times for each another 90 days.....a first step
How many poeple in the World have long holiday serious . I live in France and we have 5 week holiday per year . I feel we are lucky many country dont have Most poeple use there holiday not in one time . So if you are lucky to get 5 week holiday as France you are already lucky and then lose 14 days quarantine and 2 week holiday 😕 And another
Sad sad to see my favorite city bleeding out like this. That said there is too much demand and money for pattaya to die off. It exists because it’s unique. It will never become another Thai beach resort or a locals place. The beach sucks and Thai only visit as a day trip or on holiday. Once there is a vaccine or Thailand realizes staying closed means economic death of the entire country they will open again and the tourists will return. Of course just how bad will it be and how long to rebuild is the question.
in my opinion other cities get stronger adult entertainmant. and pattaya will maybe not go down. there to many female workers but year 2019 i suppose you will never see again.
The only place which is not a rip off ( soi 6 ) is still alive. I think it will all slowly restart from there. However many girls go mobile so i doubt it will expand a lot more
Pattaya is changing but for the better. After the pandemic I am sure it will be more geared for family friendly and resort activity. Definitely the gogo bars will be gone for look more than likely. They need to clean up the city and get it more modern like Phuket.
When pattaya gets a blue flag beach, then maybe a family friendly resort, chances of getting that ZERO, as for Phuket it’s been a overpriced ripoff for years, come on Thailand get back to being the land of smiles,
Enjoy while u still can. Rem some time bk some officials were strongly pushin for the family themed tourism to replace the city of sin reputation. Tis is a gd chance for them cos who knows wat licensing n other triads or family r controllin the nite life in pattaya... the whole sys in in a mess, even w the chg how is the new venture goin to fuel value bk to the govt coffers, even if done transparently (u know wat i meant). How is anywhere in the world attract without universal studio or disney u tell me? Nvrtheless thailand need structural chg fr top to bottom. They r jus pickin pattaya for a start due to its notorious (n well known) rep. Tourists stil flock ther despite them intentionally closin patt airport.

The Chinese will build a new casino on walking street pattaya thialand just like they did in Cambodia
How much to buy a bar there $

It's the wrong time Uli ⌚👍😘
Am not a fan of walking st but it’s very sad to see it now the same can be said about the rest of Pattaya. Breaks my heart watching this.. 😢😢
Pity the rats don’t buy beer. The place would be thriving!!!
I am sure it will be back soon
