The total replacement of the western monger demographic with Chinese Russia and Indian families of tourists , who don't patronize the prostitutes , proves that Pattaya's pull isn't actually the whores.
Thailand is the second most popular destination for Russian tourists. Why do they like it so much ? It's not about the whores for them. I think they like it for the same reason I do. The relaxed atmosphere. The general freedom and civic atmosphere of the place. You don't have to do anything to have fun in Pattaya. Just walking down the road is fun. The ppl watching. Trying the endless amount of restaurants. The market plazas. You name it. The atmosphere is just good.
