Walking Street: before and after

[reader]

From Pattayaone

 

An artist’s impression of what the future might have in store for Pattaya’s famous Walking Street was posted online by Sophon Cable.

 

As authorities continue efforts to change the iconic nightlife spot. As you can see from the picture gone are the bright neon signs, Go-Go bar hoardings and nearly all of the people! It now resembles nearly all urban streets found all over the world which might attribute why there are so few people in the picture. Even “Skyfall” a popular Go-Go bar now looks more like a well-known Swedish furniture store than a place to go for a night out.

 

The rendering comes after a recent campaign by authorities to rid the famous street of its Neon signs which they say need to be removed for fire safety reasons, though not many bars seemed to have got the memo at the moment.Another meeting was held this week chaired by Saksit Yaemsri and engineering chief Sompramai with Walking Street business owners in attendance.

God save Walking street of all these stupid people.

I just think they should ask illegal owners or builders to pay a lot of money for the land, and be careful with environemental rules.

With the chinese tourist, and the "so called" impending ending of the pattaya sex trade, that is more like a marketing gimmick rather than real threat, not surprising that it is now very packed with people. Tell them they cant have it, and they start to want it even more
