Thread: Toll Booths on Pattaya Walking Street.

Shocked Residents as Toll Booths Appear Overnight



PATTAYA: -- During the night City Hall have introduced a new tollbooth at the start of Beach Road, as you enter from Dolphin Round about.



Thai double pricing standards apply with Thai Nationals entering free with foreigners paying a minimum 30 baht. Pattaya City Hall have assured Inspire eMagazine that all Expats that produce a valid Thai licence will be entitled to the Thai pricing.



There will be no costs for pedestrians, and it is unclear whether motorcyclists using the walkways rather than the road will be tackled. Local expat, Steven Sparkle, was there at 2am to witness it. "There were hundreds of workers that literally turned up and it was all done within a matter of hours. The Katoey’s along the beach road welcomed the move as they said it would bring more customers as drivers would in future walk, however they guaranteed not to molest them!



I can't believe it, no one was told about this. It's awful". Pattaya-tolls Discount for Beer Bar Patrons If you buy two or more beers at any of the venues on Pattaya Beach Road do get your card stamped, as you will get a full refund on your toll charge when you get to the end of Beach Road from one of the Tollbooths on exit. Dave Trevors who was one of the first to use the toll at 9am this morning was livid.



"I had a meeting at 10am but had to stop and drink two beers along Beach Road so I could get my toll money back, I am not sure this is a good thing for Pattaya that drivers start drinking so early.



Needless to say I was late for my meeting". It is believed that the money back initiative for drinking a couple of beers, which was introduced as a strategy to help local bar business in Beach Road, may need to be rethought as City Hall has questions over the effect it may have on drink driving.

I just love the way Thais have stupid ideas and then have to re-think them when they go wrong. Will the BIB be sitting beside the toll booths to arrest intoxicated drivers who use stamped cards to get their toll money refunded?

Just another reason not venture down to the shit-hole.

The place is a disgusting, stinking mess and Thai's are to blame for creating it.

look at your calendars boys

..and today is what day?

walking st looks like it needs bulldozed now.

April Fools....

ROFL.

Slaps head.

I was even looking for April fools, which makes it even worse.

Think I'll feed the pigeons.

*snigger*

Someone got me with this earlier. Thought I'd share.

It just does not surprise me what ridiculous ideas the Thais will come up with.

Maybe I have been here too long.

I was just complaining to my staff about this "bloody thai idiots" I said, getting them all riled, when I noticed the date.

Very bloody funny.

In fairness, I've heard far more ridiculous genuine ideas....

exactly, BC - When I read it, the bad thing is that I was not actually surprised.

same here, the beer thing had me fuming, well done

shame that it was posted on arch nemesis website Thai Visa 3 hours earlier.

Does this tell us that;

1 - Thai Visa mods are eager beavers, with a chirpy devil may care attitude?
2 - TV members get up earlier, where as the TD members drag themselves out of bed around 9, have a dump, and then get posting.
3 - TD'ers have more important things to do that cock about with daft jokes.

Now - more camel toes and sexy gifs to post

Just another drunk story, which will probably carry on for some time or until someone drives it...............
