    I was there in Pattaya that Christmas for my first trip to Thailand at 24 years old. I stayed in Siam Bayshore. Fell in love with the place and kept going back. This really brings back memories of when it was much nicer than it is now. Progress. Thanks for the memory.

      We were also there Xmas/ NewYear 1979! Stayed at The Royal Cliff, 1 building which stood on its own, nothing around it. I remember the Siam Bayshore & The Orchid Lodge. Walking Street was just gravel, no in your face sextrade. Wonderful.

      @@troylollysaf9311. Its just different in several ways now. Back then, with no Internet, no mobile phones, no satellite TV, the people came from rural areas and were unspoilt, open, less money driven, nicer. It was smaller and newer, and the general atmosphere was more relaxed. Cheaper. Much cheaper. More exotic. Less concrete. No screaching girls outside bars grabbing at you. Inside the bars, girls had a more relaxed manner and 'appeared' more interested in the western visitor. I know that deep down they were just working for money but it wasn't so obvious. Far less scamming. It was only the first year of mass tourism. Up until then the visitors were mainly businessmen or back packers. No old sexpats in vests moaning. If you go now you don't know any different and so you're happy as it is..

    I was 16 in 1979 but I was lucky enough to go to Pattaya in 1989 when I was 26. Oh how I loved the place. Sadly it has changed so much. I'll be out again in July for my 35th trip. It really might be my last this time. Thanks for posting this. It signifies the early days of a wonderful adventure so many western men. Will the world ever see a place as fantastic in the way Pattaya used to be again?

      I doubt it Mister and you are right it was truly wonderful back then, compared to the cold, mercenary place it can feel like today. March 90 was my first trip. First couple of days the place freaked me out with the culture shock, but 10 days later I was fighting back the tears when it was time to go home. Wonderful memories.

    • @Buggsy61
      @Buggsy61 4 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      It was an unbelievable place then, heaven on earth for a divorced 26 years old boy. The girls were all smiles and fun, nowadays seem cold and calculating. Oh well guys, at least we have those great memories

I was totally blown away by its indulgence, so returned 8-9 time's until 2016. Even I noticed the change , particularly the arrogance, rudeness and expectance of the girl's.

    I am a young man from Russia, I am only 30 years old. I have been to Pattaya 2 times, this year and last year and fell in love with this place. I deliberately searched for old images of this beautiful place and I am very surprised to see that in 1979 tourism was so developed. It much has changed in Thailand and around the world over the years, but it seems to me that Thailand and the appearance of Thai women are still more conservative than in Russia, the United States and Europe. In Thailand, to this day, you can feel something from the past, even despite the progress. Maybe it's because they are kinder than we are, or because they keep their trappings better. Do you agree? I really liked this nostalgic video.

Пока пауза из-за ковида, но увер скоро полечу! Конечно идут изменения паттая растет. Даже по сравнению с 2001 годом коллосальные изменения! А чего говорить на счет 1979! Тогда это было практически начало.
