Pattaya whas 15 years ago also dangerous. In '96 theyr came a Russian hitman to Pattaya, to kill a Russian in soi 2 infront of his restaurant. I remember also the many fights around that time in Marine disco and the beerbars in WS. Infact then whas WS after midnight a pretty dangerous place, more then now. And also then theyr where lots of 'suicides' all over Pattaya.
No, over the years not much changed in this place.

This will be my last year here. Not a flounce at all just a statement of fact.
I reckon over the last ten years I have put around 2 million baht into the economy simply as a tourist.
But the last two visits have seen me threatened with a knife,run off the road,had a gun waved at me from a pick up,been ripped off with bar bills too many times to mention, seen hotels pigs wouldn't sleep in. Enoughs enough.
Pattaya is now as expensive for me as Las Vegas and thats cleaner safer and just as much fun.

Pattaya is becoming increasingly dangerous, and the police are doing less and less. The government is not able to guarantee and unwilling security.
The City Hall and large swings instead of doing nothing in the speeches and shines. This is not a good advertisement for Pattaya's not good publicity for Thailand.

I wonder how long it takes until the last farang realises how dangerous Pattaya became with all its drug related shootings and robberies. They could have been dead and can be lucky that they survived.
