WSJ Article

This article on Pattaya appears in today's Wall Street Journal:

Extreme Makeover for 'Red Light' City
Thai Resort Makes Push For Wholesome Visitors, But Is Area Too Far Gone?
By BRUCE STANLEY
April 18, 2007; Page B6

A quote from the article:

"In the past, anyone who valued their reputation would never admit to visiting there."

Pay Site.

Pay site, sorry.

But considering that the WSJ has articles on Thailand almost weekely, and all are bare-knuckled, one might consider a subscription. Go to wsj.com and use the trail period if you like.

Typical comment from this article:

Yet even Pattaya's boosters say there are limits to the image makeover. As city council chairman Tawich Chaiswangwong notes, "People don't come to Pattaya city to pray."

Note that I get no vig from any action.
