When was the last time TAT came up with an idea that turned out to be a good one and actually succeeded?

If they want crystal-clear turquoise water and 5 star accommodations they can go to Bali.
I mostly agree, but the evidence tends to suggest gogo bars aren't as popular any more.
Classic Boys is the best in Pattaya, yet I was the only customer on the last visit.
Now there are only a couple of good gogo bars left, if the demand was there, they would be packed.


Incidentally, I read that Bali is already constructing an underground metro system. Efficient transport always helps.

I'll suspect that if you lived as a tourist, with no car, no kitchen and required vegetarian food for a month, you might understand where I'm coming from. Pattaya is below average for veggie food.
If Vegetarians eat vegetables what do Humanitarians eat?!
