The following is our weekly feature in which once a week at the start of the week we ask our readers a news worthy question and get your insights, responses and comments.
This week, we want to ask our readers what, in your opinion, is the most important issue to resolve currently in Pattaya?
There are a lot of plans and things “in the works” and we will list a few below to give our readers ideas but even if the issue is not on the list, feel free to mail us or give us your comments. Also, we are focusing on city specific plans within the control of city leaders right now and will bring the results to them at an upcoming meeting. Things the city cannot control, like opening borders to foreign tourists, customer service issues at businesses or drink prices at bars should not be on the list.
Some of the issues Pattaya City is currently working on/planning/discussing, both short and long term. Not all of these items are guaranteed to happen, while some are already approved, in process and/or being started. This is not a complete list, so if you think of something or feel something is not mentioned please comment.
