Furious Pattaya locals slam 4-year roadworks nightmareLegacyPattaya residents are fuming as a drainage and road construction project drags into its fourth year with no end in sight—leaving behind a trail of muddy roads, stray dogs, blocked access, and mounting frustration. Locals living near Thepprasit Soi 7 and 9, extending to Jomtien Second Road, say they’ve had enough. What was promised as essential infrastructure improvement has become, in their words, a “never-ending” mess that’s disrupting daily life with little accountability or communication from city officials. An anonymous condo resident voiced his frustration. “This isn’t just inconvenient—it’s dangerous. We’re navigating potholes, trash, stray dogs, and detours that double our travel time, and no one seems to care.” A key point of contention is the temporary access road off Soi 17, which residents say has devolved into a slippery, trash-strewn hazard. With Soi 7 now also torn up, access from Thepprasit Road has been completely severed. Locals are left with two grim choices: a 4-kilometre detour through the Eastern Sports Park or a risky journey along a mud-slicked path barely suitable for foot traffic. Adding to the misery, residents report being intimidated by packs of stray dogs that loiter around the construction zones, further complicating pedestrian access. “It’s hard enough walking through the mud,” one woman said. “Now we have to worry about being bitten, too?” The Pattaya News reported that tenants in nearby condominiums feel their neighbourhood has been sidelined in favour of high-profile tourist areas like Jomtien Beach and the Eastern Sports Stadium. Despite repeated complaints to city departments and relevant agencies, they say little has improved. “We understand infrastructure work takes time, but four years with no timeline, no updates, and no concern for the people living here? That’s not acceptable.” Locals are now urging Pattaya officials to step up. They’re demanding transparency, communication, and—above all—action. Calls are growing for city engineers and planners to meet with affected residents and provide a concrete timeline for project completion.  A frustrated condo tenant made his complaint clear. “If this were happening in a tourist hotspot, it would’ve been done years ago. It’s time they remembered the people who live here.” As frustration reaches a boiling point, the community is united in one simple plea: fix it, or face the backlash.

Graveyard curse on Hun Sen sparks Thai lottery frenzy (video)LegacyA Thai social media influencer sparked controversy after leading a graveyard curse ceremony in Chon Buri—complete with pizza, fried chicken, and fiery accusations against top Cambodian officials. Yesterday, July 31 at 8pm, 32 year old influencer Lapatsarada Rakangthong, and lottery tipster Phirada Tanachotinda, also known as Mae Nam Nueng, conducted the bizarre ritual at the Trikunnatham Foundation cemetery in Nong Ri, Mueang district, Chon Buri province. Armed with photos of Cambodian political figures such as Privy Council of Cambodia chairperson Hun Sen and Cambodian Ministry of Defence spokesperson Major General Mali Sothia, the group lit incense, chanted, and laid offerings of KFC and pizza on the graves of the dead. Lapatsarada, known for her provocative stunts online, declared the ceremony a spiritual response to recent tensions between Thailand and Cambodia. “I don’t like Hun Sen or Mali. They’ve hurt civilians, twisted the truth, and caused harm to Thailand. I’m asking the spirits to take them away.” She added that similar black magic ceremonies had allegedly been performed by Cambodians against Thai officials but insisted she held the upper hand. “They may have tried it, but I have over 1,000 spirits with me tonight.” Pictures courtesy of KhaoSod The stunt was as much about mysticism as it was about money. While Lapatsarada refused to disclose any lucky numbers herself, attendees were quick to scan the gravestones for potential lottery tips ahead of today’s draw, reported KhaoSod. Two grave markers in particular caught their attention: 1/492 and 8/438. Photos of the numbers were quickly shared online by hopeful punters looking for divine inspiration. The event drew a mixed reaction online, with supporters praising Lapatsarada for standing up for Thailand, while critics slammed the spectacle as “disrespectful” and “distasteful.” “This is a step too far,” one commenter wrote. “Cursing people in a graveyard with takeaway food? It’s madness.” Still, the combination of political drama, spiritual defiance, and potential lottery luck ensured the ritual captured national attention. As tensions between Thailand and Cambodia continue to simmer, the graveyard ceremony stands as yet another bizarre chapter in the ongoing border row—one fuelled not just by diplomacy, but by ghosts, curses, and fried chicken.

Pattaya gridlock sparks calls for urgent rail fixLegacyPattaya’s roads are choking—and so are its residents. As traffic jams grow worse by the day, frustrated locals and weary tourists are demanding immediate action to overhaul the city’s outdated transport system. At the centre of the debate is Pattaya’s long-delayed Monorail Green Line project, a tram-style light rail network aimed at solving the city’s chronic congestion. Yesterday, July 31, Mayor Poramet Ngampichet chaired a high-stakes progress meeting at City Hall, hoping to push forward a project many see as critical to Pattaya’s future. Pictures courtesy of Pattaya Mail “The traffic situation is unbearable. We need real solutions now, not more delays,” one commuter said. “It’s hurting daily life and damaging Pattaya’s image as a top tourist destination.” The proposed Green Line is one of three light rail routes under the city’s smart transport master plan, alongside the Red and Purple lines. The Green Line will run for 9 kilometres from Pattaya Train Station to Bali Hai Cape via North Pattaya Road, Second Road, and Thappraya Intersection. Photo courtesy of Bangkok Post The Red Line will cover 8.2 kilometres, ending at Bali Hai Pier via Beach Road, while the Purple Line will connect major routes like Third Road and Thappraya Road. All three lines are intended to link key areas, including the motorway and tourist hotspots. But progress has been derailed by disputes over land expropriation. Several residents have pushed back against the city’s proposals, delaying the submission of the critical environmental impact assessment (EIA) report. The city now plans to intensify negotiations and find compromises to move the project forward. Comparisons with neighbouring countries have also raised concerns. “Malaysia’s smaller cities like Penang already have modern train systems,” said a local business owner. “If Pattaya doesn’t act fast, we’ll be left behind.” Others worry about the construction phase itself, warning it could worsen road conditions, disrupt utilities, and cause chaos to local bus routes. Accessibility is another major concern. Residents are calling for the inclusion of lifts and facilities suited to tourists with luggage, arguing that long stair climbs would be impractical and exclusionary, reported Pattaya Mail. Despite the hurdles, Mayor Poramet stressed his administration’s determination. “We’re committed to getting this done. A modern transport system is essential if Pattaya is to become a true smart city.” For now, the city’s future hangs in the balance—caught between gridlock and progress.

Indian weddings, a Pattaya niche market, cater for hundreds of guests with an exotic buffet available 24/7 being routine. According to a Pattaya Mail contact with an adding machine, there are currently 77 Indian restaurants alive and kicking in the Pattaya region. Actually he has missed the tasty New Fisherman cafe at Mabprachan lake, so the total should read 78. And yes, the total does include one or two companies on Second Road whose work permits say they are Pakistani or Bangladeshi run. So that means there are around 2,000 customer seats (say 78×25) available at Pattaya’s Indian restaurants at any one moment during opening times. Or about 25,000 during the working day. That’s certainly a lot, but nothing to be surprised about. Social media, especially Facebook bloggers, report the same generous provision worldwide. Many attribute the numerical growth to the popularity of vegetarianism, not only in India but increasingly worldwide. This is a point often missed in debate. Krabi in southern Thailand is evidently heaving with Indian restaurants, apparently because of sub-continental migration and the ease of opening new businesses down there. Another particularly hotspot is greater Toronto in Canada, including Niagara Falls, which is apparently humming with countless Indian students on business courses. Not to mention the Czech Republic’s Prague with a curry house on every street corner to cater for masses of curry-loving foreign tourists. Pattaya’s alleged oversubscription to Indian food opportunities can be examined through Goggle’s artificial intelligence summary. The explanation there is a mixture of migration, tourism, cultural exchanges and business opportunities. Yet even Artificial Intelligence fails to notice Pattaya’s several Indian retail shops which specialize in selling the raw ingredients such as four different types of rice and umpteen spices. Most of Pattaya’s Indian restaurants are centered on Second Road and offshoot streets. Jomtien, by contrast, is deprived but does include Masala Twist, particularly popular with northern Brits, and the elegant Indian by Nature on Thrappaya Road since 2004. The preponderance of Indian restaurants in central Pattaya suggests a cartel approach there: a similar product by the many competitors, each claiming uniqueness. Expats routinely applaud Tarka House, evidently popular with the retiree market, or what’s left of it. Whether they all make a profit is a continual debating point on the internet with dark rumors abounding. Maybe some hire illegal Myanmar workers on starvation wages, or perhaps they provide very small portions via an expensive menu. The eateries could be a cover for other businesses, such as travel agencies or clothes shops or immigration shortcuts, or (heaven forbid) they might be dark centers for dubious money changing transactions and that flavor of the month – cryptocurrency. Some doubters on Facebook frown about cookie jar practices, namely fake bookkeeping to disguise losses. There is, of course, no actual evidence. A recent check on licences by local authority investigators found them mostly to be in order. Still, it could be that Pattaya just has too much of everything and that Indian restaurants simply fall into that category: the revenue cake has to be shared in smaller pieces. Critics of Indian restaurants usually don’t like Indian food anyway and often resort to racist interpretations. One could equally well complain about the large number of barber shops, massage parlors or open bars with happy hours. How do they all survive? Or will they in future? It’s best to declare a personal bias. There’s no such thing as the “best” Indian or the “best” British breakfast or the most delicious fish and chips. It’s all in the subjective mind of the beholder. My personal favorites are Ali Baba on Central Road – any family restaurant dating back without interruption to 1984 and with steep steps to climb must be exceptional – and Madras Darbar opposite Central Festival on Second Road which does have that singularly compulsory element. Many Indians eat there regularly.

South Korean tourist assaulted in Pattaya robbery gone wrongLegacy A brutal assault on a South Korean tourist outside a Pattaya nightclub has left police probing whether it was a botched robbery or something darker. At 4.06am yesteday, August 1, Police Lieutenant Colonel Alis Phuangwai, Deputy Chief of Pattaya City Police Station, received an urgent call about a violent incident in a parking lot near an entertainment venue on Soi Siam Sam Tat Phettrakul. He quickly informed his superior, Police Colonel Anek Sarathongyoo, before heading out with a team to investigate the alleged assault on a tourist. Upon their arrival, they found Koh, a 29 year old South Korean tourist, visibly shaken and nursing a head injury along with several facial bruises. Koh claimed that he had been attacked by a group who tried to steal 300,000 baht from him. He alleged that during the assault, they forced him to carry a suspicious stash of ketamine vape pods — around 20 in total — before fleeing the scene. A security guard from the venue revealed that Koh had been seen socialising earlier with a group of nearly 10 Thai men. The group was observed chatting outside the venue and later leaving together in a vehicle. Koh returned alone, injured and seeking help, although the guard did not witness the assault itself, The Pattaya News reported. The police, somewhat sceptical of Koh’s version of events, are not ruling out other motives. Officers plan to question Koh in detail with the aid of an interpreter to clarify what happened. They are also working on gathering evidence, including reviewing any available CCTV footage from the area. If any suspects are identified, the police have made it clear that they will pursue them relentlessly, ensuring that those responsible are held accountable under the law. In similar news, police in Pattaya arrested two Chinese nationals and two Thais in connection with the abduction and robbery of a Chinese national. The incident occurred around 5.30am on July 10, when the 52 year old victim was forced into a white SUV by men posing as police officers.
