Hej
Läste i ett reportage New York Times om ett Pattaya i förändring där man tar upp att platsen håller på att förvandlas ifrån ett "syndens näste" till ett respektabelt resmål för Indiska par, Ryska familjer och Kinesiska gruppresor.
"If Las Vegas is Sin City, Pattaya is a bear hug from Lucifer himself.
And yet, amid the back alleys jammed with girlie bars and a beachfront peopled with what the Thais euphemistically call “service women,” there are signs of change.
Indian couples, Chinese tour groups and vacationing Russian families stroll around the city. A dozen luxury hotels cater to the weekend crowd of wealthy Thais from Bangkok who mingle with tourists at a huge shopping mall. Pattaya has a growing number of fancy restaurants, an annual music festival and, perhaps most improbably, regular polo tournaments.
Long derided as a city of sleaze, the city is reaching for respectability."
