    Unheard Dilemma – Pattaya’s restaurants struggle under economic strain while Thai government offers little relief
    According to many restaurant owners, the mounting economic pressures and lack of clear government policy have made Pattaya and Bangkok increasingly challenging places to sustain a business — and less welcoming destinations for tourists. (File Photo) PATTAYA, Thailand – Behind Pattaya’s glittering façade of beach bars and bustling night markets lies a quieter, more painful collapse — one hitting the city’s restaurants with a ferocity most tourists never see. According to Sorathep Rojpojjanarat, President of the Restaurant Operators Association, the second quarter of 2025 has been even more devastating than the first for Thailand’s food and beverage industry. Restaurant closures now rank among the top three types of business shutdowns nationwide. What began with low-end eateries has now reached mid-tier and SME-level establishments — including those in tourist hotspots like Pattaya. “You can see ‘For Sale’ and ‘Takeover’ signs everywhere — even in once-busy tourist zones,” Sorathep lamented. Restaurant owners in Pattaya are particularly vulnerable. Once reliant on a steady stream of both local and foreign customers, they now face a perfect storm: shrinking domestic spending power, a 14% overall drop in tourist arrivals, and a staggering 35% decline in Chinese visitors. The pressure doesn’t stop at dwindling foot traffic. Soaring ingredient prices, rising utility costs, and persistent inflation have shortened the average restaurant survival window. “It used to be that 60% of restaurants closed within a year. Now, many can’t even make it past six or seven months,” Sorathep said. Cost spikes in staples like palm oil, sugar, electricity, pork, vegetables, and eggs have pushed many operators past their limits. And as more restaurants shut down, ripple effects are felt across the entire supply chain: market vendors, kitchen staff, delivery drivers, and tuk-tuk operators all face fewer jobs and shrinking incomes. Restaurant owners say that mounting economic pressure and ongoing policy uncertainty are making Pattaya not only a harder place to run a business — but an increasingly frustrating place to visit. “Despite repeated warnings since late 2024, we’ve seen no meaningful policy support from the government,” Sorathep added. “There’s no long-term tourism integration plan, just more short-term concerts and flashy events. The cracks are now too deep to paper over.” The concern is no longer just economic collapse — it’s the threat of a broader social crisis. As restaurants close and layoffs spread, joblessness may soon give rise to instability. In Pattaya — where tourism is both lifeblood and illusion — the quiet collapse of its restaurant scene may be the loudest warning yet. Severe Impact on Restaurant Businesses Ms. Thaniwan Kulmongkol, President of the Thai Restaurant Association, highlighted that 2025 has been filled with negative factors hitting the restaurant industry hard. These include the heavy impact of Thailand’s and the global economic downturn, along with a decline in foreign tourists, which has reduced consumers’ spending power. The shift has also affected sales opportunities for restaurants in tourist areas, compounded by the relocation of various industries out of Thailand, which in turn reduces special occasions like celebrations or post-work gatherings that typically drive restaurant visits. Consumer behavior has noticeably changed as well, with fewer visits and smaller, less expensive orders. For example, customers who used to dine out 4-5 times a week now do so only about once a month. Order sizes have shrunk from five dishes to three, and drink choices have shifted from smoothies and specialty beverages to plain water or soft drinks. Even buffet restaurants, while maintaining customer numbers, suffer as spending per person drops sharply—customers who once paid 1,500 baht per package now opt for 700 baht alternatives. “The early onset of the rainy season this year has further dampened business,” Thaninwan said. “Some restaurants struggle even before setting up in the evening because of continuous rain for several hours, which kills sales.” All these negative factors have hit revenues hard, especially profits from drinks, while costs like rent, energy, labor, and ingredients remain stable or rise, squeezing profit margins by as much as 50%. Sorathep warns that despite repeated warnings since late 2024, the government has offered no meaningful policy support, focusing only on short-term events while deeper tourism problems remain unaddressed. New and Small Players Hit the Hardest Thaniwan noted that these challenges have forced many, particularly new or small operators with limited cash flow, to tighten their belts by avoiding new hires, controlling ingredient costs, cautious investments, and even closing some branches during the low season, hoping to survive until demand recovers during the year-end high season. Established or larger operators with accumulated cash reserves are less affected. Meanwhile, the government has yet to offer targeted support to restaurant operators, unlike during COVID-19 when low-interest loans, tax breaks, and rent exemptions were provided. She stressed that any support now must be direct and swift because restaurants have far smaller cash reserves compared to airlines or hotels and cannot wait months for subsidy approvals. Research from Kasikorn Research Center estimates the current value of Thailand’s restaurant industry at 572 billion baht, split among full-service restaurants (213 billion baht), limited-service restaurants (93 billion baht), street food (266 billion baht), and beverage and bakery outlets (85.3 billion baht). Restaurants Struggle to Survive Amid Rising Costs and Shrinking Demand Somsak Rarongkam, President of the Thailand Chef Association, revealed that the restaurant industry in 2025 continues to face serious challenges. Despite hopes for recovery, rising costs—including labor, raw materials, cooking gas, and other expenses—combined with declining purchasing power, are expected to slow industry growth by 3-4% compared to last year. Budget eateries are particularly vulnerable to these pressures. There are currently over 700,000 restaurants nationwide, with market stalls and street food vendors among the most at risk. Even with lower rent costs, many stalls struggle due to low foot traffic, leaving only cafes managing to maintain some sales. As costs increase while consumer spending falls, price competition intensifies, making survival even harder. Additionally, deep-pocketed foreign brands from China, Korea, and Japan are entering the market, adding further pressure on local businesses. Buffet restaurants face tough challenges as well, with costs making up roughly 65% of their per-person price. For example, a premium buffet priced at 1,200 baht per person must attract about 200 customers daily to break even—a difficult target. Cutting costs by reducing ingredient quality is often not feasible. Fine dining and Michelin-starred restaurants, which offer full-service meals including drinks and desserts, bear even higher costs. The famous Yaowarat (Chinatown) area is no longer bustling as before, reflecting the impact of fewer tourists visiting Thailand. Somsak stressed that the government must address this problem urgently. Relying solely on Chinese tourists is risky since they can travel elsewhere and China’s domestic economy remains weak. Thailand should diversify its target tourist base or focus more on domestic consumers, though local purchasing power is also limited. “Chinese high-end customers don’t just have money; they also choose carefully. Thailand’s reputation plays a big role in their decision,” he said. He painted a stark picture of the current business climate: restaurant activity has dropped about 60% compared to the same period last year, with many full-service brands closing. While this period is the low season, there’s little hope even for the upcoming high season. “Today, if you visit Yaowarat, you won’t see crowds spilling onto the streets anymore. No more Chinese tourists lining up for grilled shrimp or crab curry at 10 p.m., and the streets are quiet past midnight, unlike before,” Somsak said.

    What foreign tourists in Pattaya should know about Thailand’s helmet laws — and a harsh lesson from Bangkok
    Bangkok officer suspended after pulling passenger off a bike during a high-risk stop gone wrong. PATTAYA, Thailand – Foreign visitors renting motorcycles or riding pillion in Pattaya often find it an easy and fun way to explore the city. However, what many don’t realize is that failing to wear a helmet — whether as a driver or a passenger — can now lead to steep fines and serious injury, especially in light of Thailand’s newly strengthened traffic laws. As of June 1, 2025, under Section 122 of the Land Traffic Act, the Thai government increased penalties to improve road safety. The law now mandates that both riders and passengers on motorcycles must wear helmets at all times. If a passenger is caught without a helmet, the fine is up to 2,000 baht. For the driver, the penalty doubles to 4,000 baht for allowing someone to ride without a helmet. These new regulations apply nationwide, and Pattaya police have begun setting up roadside checkpoints to enforce them. While the law aims to protect lives, a recent and shocking incident in Bangkok has ignited fierce public debate over how it’s enforced. On June 12, a dramatic scene unfolded near MBK Center, one of the capital’s busiest intersections. A traffic officer from Pathumwan Police Station attempted to stop a food delivery rider suspected of a traffic violation. In a dash to intercept, the officer ran across the road and forcibly grabbed the motorcycle — but in doing so, accidentally yanked a young female passenger off the back. She struck her head hard on the pavement and lay motionless in the middle of the street. The officer also fell, but quickly got up and continued pursuing the rider. The incident was captured on a dashcam and posted on social media, drawing massive criticism. Many questioned whether such an aggressive tactic was justified, especially since it resulted in a serious injury to an uninvolved civilian. Pol. Col. Sirichart says officer acted to prevent danger at notorious intersection, but admits tactic clearly crossed the line In response, Pol. Col. Sirichart Chanpromma, superintendent of Pathumwan Police, acknowledged that the officer’s actions violated proper protocol. Although the officer — a Lance Corporal — had good intentions in trying to uphold the law, he used the wrong approach, said the commander. The officer is now under disciplinary review, and a formal inquiry has been launched. In the meantime, he has been temporarily relieved from all traffic-related duties due to both his injuries and the investigation. Pol. Col. Sirichart explained that this intersection has been the scene of multiple red-light violations and even a serious accident where a motorcyclist was struck and severely injured. The officer’s goal, he said, was to “cut off the danger at its source” — but the method clearly crossed the line. For foreigners exploring Pattaya’s vibrant beach roads and backstreets, wearing a helmet isn’t optional — it’s the law. Enforcement has intensified across Thailand, including in tourist cities like Pattaya, where helmet checkpoints are now common. But more importantly, the Bangkok incident is a reminder that how police enforce the law can carry its own risks. Tourists should avoid renting from shops that don’t provide helmets and refuse rides from drivers who do not offer one. Always check for insurance coverage when renting a bike, and understand that while Thailand is welcoming, traffic regulations are now being enforced more aggressively — sometimes controversially. Ultimately, safety is the goal — but knowing your rights and responsibilities as a foreign visitor is your best protection. Helmet crackdowns across Thailand mean hefty fines for both riders and passengers — tourists included.

    Young Chinese tourist dies after plunging from 21st floor of Pattaya hotel
    Tourist Tragedy: A 22-year-old Chinese man was found dead after falling from the 21st floor of a Pattaya hotel. PATTAYA, Thailand – A 22-year-old Chinese man died early Sunday morning after falling from the 21st floor of a hotel located on Pattaya Second Road. At around 7:00 AM on June 15, Pol. Lt. Sakyapap Chaidet, an investigator from Pattaya City Police Station, received a report of a foreign tourist falling from a high-rise building. He coordinated with forensic police, rescue teams from Sawang Boriboon Foundation, Pattaya Tourist Police, and medical personnel from Pattaya Patthamakun Hospital to respond to the scene. The victim, identified as Mr. Huang Zhongxin, 22, from China, was found lying face-down on the ground beside the hotel with fatal injuries including a skull fracture and broken limbs. He was wearing a black long-sleeved shirt and black shorts. Initial investigation revealed that Mr. Huang was staying in room 2107 on the 21st floor of the hotel. Police reported no signs of a struggle or theft in the room. No Signs of Foul Play: Authorities found no evidence of intrusion or struggle inside the victim’s room.

Witnesses reported that around 6:30 AM, Mr. Huang had left his room to ask where a convenience store was before returning to his room. Shortly after, he was seen falling to his death. CCTV footage and witness statements indicated no one entered the victim’s room or was involved in the incident. Police have sent the body for autopsy at the Institute of Forensic Medicine, Police General Hospital, to determine the precise cause of death, and are continuing their investigation. Ongoing Investigation: Police have sent the body for autopsy and are examining all circumstances surrounding the fatal fall.

    A Small Tip, a Big Issue — when good intentions backfire on Pattaya’s streets
    Even small gestures of kindness can trigger unexpected reactions in a city grappling with visible distress. PATTAYA, Thailand – What begins as a kind-hearted gesture — handing over a few coins or a bottle of water — can sometimes turn into an uncomfortable, even hostile exchange on the streets of Pattaya. While foreign tourists often mean well when they offer money or food to those in distress, especially the visibly homeless or mentally ill, some say the gesture is not always welcomed — and might even be unintentionally offensive. One visitor recalled: “When I was in Pattaya in March, I spoke with a lady who was shouting at other people and talking to herself. I knew she was under the influence of something, but she looked so sad. She just wanted someone to listen to her. I got her some water and food, listened for a bit. She waved me off with a smile.” Such compassion stands in stark contrast to other encounters that end badly. Several locals and tourists have reported being shouted at, or even chased away, after giving small tips or donations. A sarcastic comment circulating online captures the sentiment: “Of course you’re going to get yelled at — what kind of animal gives a 30 cent tip?” Another poster reflected more bluntly: “‘Give 10 Baht, Get Shouted At’ – Disturbed woman sparks panic in Jomtien as public highlights similar incidents across Pattaya.” Street-level life in parts of Pattaya is increasingly shaped by the confluence of drug use, untreated mental illness, homelessness, and a tourism economy in flux. Areas like the south end of Beach Road are frequently cited: “It’s kind of everywhere,” one commenter observed. “The south end of Beach Road seems to have it 24/7. The overlap of the homeless, mental illness, scammers, ladyboys, etc. Even 7, 8, 9 in the morning — that isn’t really user-friendly.” There are stories — repeated and often heartbreaking — of individuals who roam the streets in obvious distress, yelling into the void or lashing out unpredictably. “There used to be a lady in Pattaya that would stand outside the 7/11 on Soi Buakhao,” one tourist recalled. “Non-stop shouting, then she’s gone after an hour. No one would go to her — not even the local taxi riders.” “That lady you are talking about is shouting at the girls in the bars not to trust foreign men. Apparently, she was badly done to by a farang a long time ago. I know this because I asked one of the girls. I originally thought she was preaching.” Another layer of tension lies in the increasingly awkward tipping culture. Many visitors report feeling pressured to tip in situations where it was never previously expected, while locals appear divided between expecting gratitude and expressing frustration. What once felt generous now risks being seen as insulting — or even dangerous. “Thais do expect a tip, regardless of often poor miserable service!” wrote one frustrated tourist. “I wish that I was tipped just for doing my job that I am paid to do.” Others argue it’s a foreign import. “They never used to expect a tip. Blame the American tourists who think they’re the saviors of Thailand.” One practical suggestion? Tip where it’s appropriate, but don’t feel obliged — and avoid treating tipping like charity. “If the salary is poor and they depend on tips, then shout at your employer, not your customers!” someone posted. Still, the street reactions can seem unpredictable. “Had it happen to me by a woman and a man,” one user said of being shouted at despite offering a small amount of money. Yet others remain quietly optimistic. “People can give me free money all day long, regardless of how much, and I will greatly appreciate it.” Visitors and locals alike describe chaotic scenes fueled by addiction, trauma, and desperation. Ultimately, these encounters reveal more than just cultural clashes — they show the limits of performative kindness and the importance of understanding deeper social problems. “Good to see the non-stop progression of people’s understanding of mental health,” one commenter noted. “If she had a broken leg sat on the street, everyone would be fussing over her. But if you can’t see the health condition?…” Whether it’s mental illness, trauma, substance addiction, or plain frustration with a changing city, offering help on the streets of Pattaya now requires more than good intentions. A little empathy, awareness — and yes, discretion — can go a long way. Because sometimes, even a 10-baht gesture says more about us than it does about the person we’re trying to help.

    Veteran traveler from the 80’s reflects on Pattaya’s past — when visitors were treated like guests
    After officials help a drunk tourist in Pattaya, a long-term visitor fondly recalls the city’s caring spirit from the 1980s — a hospitality that many feel has sadly faded today. PATTAYA, Thailand – A seasoned foreign visitor who has seen Pattaya through many decades shared a heartfelt memory that highlights how much the city’s hospitality has changed. “It’s true, back in the 80s and before, there was way more respect for visitors,” he recalled. “If you got plastered on Walking Street and couldn’t remember if it was dinner time or breakfast time, someone would help you get into a taxi or baht bus to get you back to your hotel. I did it myself and saw it happen many times back then. They took care of you so you would come back again.” He lamented how things have shifted. “Nowadays, the Thai style in many cases is ‘couldn’t care less, I just want your cash.’ Drunk? OK, they steal your phone, cash, or gold and leave you on the street. Things have changed a lot for the worse since the early days, in my humble opinion.” Other long-term visitors agree that the warm, caring atmosphere of Pattaya’s early tourism days is missed. This memory comes in the wake of recent efforts by local officials to assist intoxicated tourists, showing that some pockets of kindness still remain. Back in the day, kindness came standard — longtime visitors say Pattaya’s nightlife once offered not just fun, but a sense of safety and care. From helpful hands to harsh realities — veteran tourists reflect on a city where hospitality once meant looking after each other, not just chasing profits.

    Double the age, double the weight, double the cost — is this why Westerners are fleeing pattaya’s nightlife?
    Veteran expats recall Pattaya’s nightlife heyday as fewer young performers and rising drink and ‘ladydrink’ prices drive away visitors seeking affordable entertainment. (Photo – Pattaya Beach in June) PATTAYA, Thailand – Once hailed as Southeast Asia’s vibrant playground, Pattaya’s nightlife is facing a harsh reality check from those who know it best: longtime expats and Western visitors who helped build its reputation. “Now the girls are double the age, double the weight, and double the cost,” said one blunt expat who has lived here for over a decade. “People aren’t paying it—why would they? These conditions just don’t sell anymore. That’s why the Westerners don’t come.” This candid observation highlights a growing dissatisfaction among foreign residents who have watched Pattaya’s nightlife fade from its former glory. In the early 2000s and throughout the last decade, Pattaya attracted large numbers of Western tourists drawn by affordable nightlife, entertainment, and companionship. Bars thrived with competitive prices and youthful performers. But since the pandemic and economic shifts, the nightlife scene has struggled to bounce back. Many bars have closed, and those still open have raised prices to make up for fewer customers. Meanwhile, the demographics of performers have shifted noticeably. “Back then, you’d see younger girls with a lively spirit and a smile,” the expat recalled. “Now, it’s not the same. The age and appearance have changed, prices have doubled, but the quality hasn’t.” This shift has been noticed by tourists and long-term residents alike, who say the atmosphere feels less welcoming and enjoyable. Why Western Tourists Are Staying Away Higher costs combined with a perceived lack of value are pushing Western tourists away. The traditional model of affordable entertainment and companionship no longer holds. Rising prices for drinks, entrance fees, and mandatory ‘lady-drinks’ have pushed costs beyond what many find reasonable. “People have options now,” the expat said. “If you want to spend a lot, you can go somewhere else where the experience matches the price—or just stay home.” Complaints about aggressive sales tactics and fewer genuine smiles add to the declining vibe, discouraging regular visitors. Without addressing the core issues of cost versus experience, Pattaya risks permanently losing an important segment of its tourist base. Insiders and expats suggest focusing again on value, hospitality, and quality—not just raising prices—to revive the city’s allure. “I hope the city listens to those who have been here long enough to see what worked and what didn’t,” the expat said. “Otherwise, this downward spiral will continue.” For now, Pattaya’s nightlife districts feel quieter, and many longtime Western visitors are reconsidering their loyalty to a city that once felt like home.

    Cloudy but still charming, Pattaya remains a pleasant getaway despite rain warnings across Thailand
    Storms Elsewhere, Serenity Here – While much of Thailand faces heavy rain, Pattaya enjoys mild weather and a relaxed coastal vibe. PATTAYA, Thailand – Despite a mostly cloudy sky over Pattaya over the weekend, the popular coastal city remains a pleasant destination for visitors who don’t mind a softer light and cooler breeze. While the rest of Thailand braces for heavy rainfall in some regions, Pattaya has so far seen only mild to moderate weather, allowing tourists to still enjoy beach strolls, café-hopping, and short trips around the city. According to the Thai Meteorological Department’s 24-hour forecast issued on June 15, the upper parts of Thailand are experiencing scattered thunderstorms and isolated heavy rain, particularly in the North and parts of the Northeast. Bangkok and surrounding areas, for example, have a 60% chance of thunderstorms. The Department has warned of potential flash floods and runoffs in risk-prone areas, especially foothills and low-lying zones, urging farmers to protect crops from possible weather-related damage. This unstable weather pattern is driven by a moderately strong southwest monsoon prevailing over the Andaman Sea, Thailand, and the Gulf of Thailand. As a result, both seas are seeing moderate waves between 1–2 meters, with waves exceeding 2 meters in thunderstorm zones. Mariners are advised to navigate with caution and avoid areas with storm activity. Meanwhile, the tropical storm “Wutip,” which had earlier caused concern, has weakened into a depression over Guangxi, China. While it no longer poses a direct threat, travelers heading to affected regions are still advised to monitor local forecasts. In Eastern Thailand, where Pattaya is located, the forecast includes scattered thunderstorms and possible heavy rain in areas like Chonburi’s neighboring provinces, Chanthaburi and Trat. However, Pattaya itself has remained relatively calm today, with occasional light drizzle and gentle sea winds adding to the laid-back seaside charm. Visitors to Pattaya this weekend can expect a cooler atmosphere than usual, with temperatures ranging between 25–32°C. While beach sunbathing may be off the table, many are taking advantage of the moody skies to enjoy less-crowded attractions, scenic cafés, indoor markets, and coastal viewpoints that feel especially photogenic under cloud cover. So, if you’re in Pattaya or planning a visit soon, pack an umbrella—but don’t cancel your plans. The city’s charm continues, rain or shine.

    The Euro’s strength no longer guarantees value—Europeans watch their wallets closely in Pattaya
    The Euro stands at around 37.50 Baht—“not too bad” by some—but rising living costs and expenses in Pattaya are causing many visitors to watch their spending more carefully than ever before. PATTAYA, Thailand – Pattaya has long been a popular destination for European tourists, especially those from Germany. However, recent trends suggest that some Europeans are becoming increasingly hesitant about returning. While the city still offers sun, sea, and entertainment, several factors contribute to this growing reluctance. One key concern is the value of the Euro against the Thai Baht. Although the rate currently stands at around 37.50 Baht per Euro, which some consider “not too bad,” many visitors are increasingly cautious with their spending. As one traveler remarked, “Foreigners look in their wallet to check how much the rip-off they encounter today.” The perception of scams or being overcharged remains a sore point. Another factor is the changing atmosphere in Pattaya. “Yep, it’s OK but the bloom is off the rose,” noted a longtime visitor. Crowded streets, heavy traffic, and hazardous sidewalks have made moving around the city more stressful. Additionally, the labor market situation is affecting service quality: “Labor market pushes business to hire and keep people they otherwise wouldn’t. That’s everything from bars hiring or keeping women you’d never see in a bar 15-20 or more years ago. Sales clerks are glued to phones.” This decline in service standards contributes to a less welcoming experience. Visitors have also expressed discomfort with the growing prevalence of cannabis, with one comment pointing out that “Not everybody enjoys the ganja smell.” This change in the city’s atmosphere does not appeal to all. Political tensions also play a subtle role. With many Russian tourists and residents in Pattaya, conversations about the ongoing war have become common. One European visitor said, “Because the Russians keep mentioning the war,” suggesting that geopolitical issues can sometimes affect the holiday mood. Moreover, frequent changes in government policies related to visas, taxes, and banking add uncertainty, especially for long-term residents. “Government banking policies from visa, tax etc. change often, guidance is not clear, policies on long term residence people is more friendly as to legal status and property in several other countries,” explained a visitor, highlighting how other destinations may now seem more attractive for extended stays. Competition from other destinations with appealing weather and beaches also draws tourists away. As one comment summed up, “There is plenty of competition with, weather, beaches etc.” Finally, some believe that Pattaya’s own pricing and attitude toward tourists contribute to the decline in European visitors. “These people have done it to themselves by their prices & attitude,” a local observer noted. All these factors raise the question: Why are German tourists quietly saying goodbye to Pattaya? For many, the city that once promised an easy and affordable getaway now feels crowded, complicated, and less enjoyable — prompting them to look for alternatives elsewhere.
