Stating the obvious but expect a mega high season for Pattaya this year. If you are in the habit of booking flights and then finding a room when you get here, then think again. A friend of P.R. whose family run a local estate agents come tour guide reckon that Pattaya is bursting at the seams and will be getting much worse around the year end. They should know as they have one of the most popular property and holiday web sites in Russia (http://www.makovetskiy.ru).
They tell me that when the flood hit, many Russian tourists cancelled their trips and the vacated rooms and houses have since been taken up by the 'floods' of Bangkokians relocating to Pattaya. Thing is, now that the word is out that Pattaya is okay, Russians are starting to book again. Pattaya will be exploding! From a selfish point of view the good news is Russian and Thai families don't have a much interest in the local wild life.....
In typical Pattaya style, prices will go off the Richter Scale! I've already posted about prices for a 'short walk' with a friend doubling in price. Now room rates are going through the roof, and that’s if there are any available. S.T. rooms may be by charged by the minute! Now that's not a problem for me but may upset some of you!!! My mate from Warrington better ease off on the blue pills. It could get expensive!!!!!!
For sure Pattaya needs a good high season but expect some fall-out from the level this one will reach. Higher prices for EVERYTHING which, again is typical Pattaya and don't expect prices to return to norm after this unusual demand is over. TIT.
Sadly the non existent water supply and traffic jams are going to continue in to the new year. It will probably be after the next rainy season before my water supply returns to normal. Anyone would think there was a drought rather than a bloody flood. Crazy hay!
I digress. If anyone has a house or condo they want to rent out, my friends would be very happy to hear from you. Drop me a line and I will pass it on.
