Current State

Guys, has the current global financial crisis impacted the tourist (monger)
levels in Pattaya? After looking at videos posted on youtube and various other places it always looks pretty busy. What's it like now?

Well it looks like they have got their objective of disrupting the conference. So I guess it will blow over until the next demo, which won't necessarily be in Pattaya.
