June 1, 20179 yr From Pattayaone Pattaya boomtown – Russian and Chinese “quality tourists” flooding back as resort becomes hub of Sport Tourism, claims TAT An upbeat Thai Rath reported from Koh Larn yesterday quoting a Pattaya Tourism Authority representative that “quality tourists” were visiting in droves. Suladda Sarutilawan of Pattaya TAT said that the government’s crackdown on “zero dollar” tours was seeing a marked rise in “quality tourists” from China. She said they were spending lots and boosting the local economy at a time when visitors are usually harder to find. Suladda said that Russian visitors were now coming like they used to years ago. She further credited the re-branding of Pattaya as a hub for Sports Tourism saying events like the triathlon last weekend and the marathon set to take place in July are attracting thousands who might not normally come to the resort. She said that 10,000 are expected in town for the marathon on July 16th and 300-400 of those would be those quality Chinese she spoke of.

June 1, 20179 yr Presumably more executive coaches clogging Beach Road and more swarms of flag-following tourits clogging up Walking Street, but that aside, as (particularly the Chinese) are in organised groups, they are probably less likely to be see finding their way through Boyz Town yet alone Sunee Plaza? Not sure they even get to Jomtien either?
June 9, 20179 yr As a quality tourist, I avoid Walking Street on every trip. You are right , nothing interesting there during daytime
June 10, 20179 yr Vessey, I don't think you look that bad on that photo you've posted. Nah, nothing like - you would be getting warmer with this 'quality tourist' (supersized of course LOL).
June 10, 20179 yr If i see anyone like this, id assume he is senile or mentally ill. Or is there any sane 70-80 years old will wear like this?
June 10, 20179 yr Or is there any sane 70-80 years old will wear like this? Indeed there are and on any given day can be found patrolling the Garden of Earthy Delights

This guy is seriously deluded if he finds that "clothing" either acceptable or sexy. It wouldn't matter if he was much younger. However, the Korean that Numazu writes about could get away with it. I'd even like it on him!
