Pattaya Is Losing Its Tourists — And Thailand Is Paying for It

Описание: Some Pattaya hotels fell to just 15-20% occupancy in 2026, when they need 40-50% just to break even. Thailand's tourist numbers are down only about 4% this year, but Pattaya's own tourism associations estimate a 20-30% drop. Here is why the gap is so big: empty rooms and deep discounts, a city that kept building condos and hotels into a slump, a reliance on a few source markets, the airport gateway that never arrived, and what Pattaya's crash costs Chonburi and the whole Thai economy.
