The majority of businesses are closed in Pattaya with no hope of opening soon due to govt regulation, but what the hell, let's celebrate.

If you really think the local tourist can suport Pattaya, then let it be and give it a year or so

Reality will set in slowly as you realize, they don't spend Baht at a high rate.
