I want to book a hotel in Pattaya for 2 weeks, but a bit central. Now I don't want the hotel to be full of Indians. I don't discriminate but it's too loud for me. I've already emailed some hotels, but I'm not getting any response. I also understand that if I book an expensive 5 star hotel there will be no Indians, but I don't have the money for that.
The Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) expects about 600.000 Indian tourists to visit Pattaya this year, a number similar to pre-pandemic levels.
TAT: Number of Indian tourists will rise to 2 million this year
The Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) has raised its target for Indian visitors this year from 1,4 million to 2 million due to recent changes in COVID-19 regulations by the Indian government.
I saw a video of a brawl at an Indian club on Walking Street. According to my wife, a Thai was refused at the door and then returned with a group of friends. Hence the question whether Thais are not allowed to enter an Indian club and does that also apply to farang?
I hate people like…..
More than a month of Thailand and Cambodia has passed and we have to get used to the Dutch climate again. My thoughts about my past trip are still swirling through my head and plans to escape the coming winter period are already starting to take shape.
Are there so many Indians everywhere in Thailand?
After 3 years I went to Thailand again for 4 weeks. Booked a 4 star hotel in Pattaya at Central Festival. When I go to my breakfast in the morning I feel like I'm in India.
I see more and more Indian restaurants in Pattaya again?
With the arrival of Indian tourists, the Indian restaurants here in Pattaya are also popping up like mushrooms. Including the Indian props who talk guests into their mouths. That's fine with me, they don't bite, but how do they get a work permit? Foreigners are not allowed to work in professions that Thais can also do, are they?
Thai authorities expect the number of Indian tourists to Thailand to reach 500.000 by the end of this year. Since January, more than 100.000 Indian tourists have been welcomed.
Why is Thailand so popular with Indians?
I read in Pattaya News today that there are quite a few Indians in Pattaya again. But why is Pattaya/Thailand so interesting for Indians? I don't see them on the beach or in the bar. They don't have to go to Thailand for the sun and temperature either.
