Election Time In Pattaya

[ozijeff 9]

Yes I am here at last and what great timing!

I have been looking around and have decided that the Number 3 guy is the man.

A snappy dresser with a winning smile and the sexiest music.

Lets hope he gets up.

I look forward to Having a beer with him at the PBG!

Man was walking street a weird scene tonight. Lots of zombies.. me included wandering around with little purpose. I didnt think the lack of alcohol would affect things THAT much!

If i was anyones first night in Pattaya, they would be wondering what the fuss is about.

Opinions seem to vary on what time the booze flows tomorrow.

Only one number to vote for...

Soi 7 at about 9pm last night. Sorry about the crap quality of the pic.

Does this make up for it? A couple of ladies enjoying refreshing cups of tea on a non-alcohol election eve.

 

Oh and I still hope number 3 gets up. Even some food carts were advertising for him!

Did number 3 get in?

Surely his suave looks, winning smile and superior marketting have paid dividends!?

If had run a "no more bar closures during elections' campaign he could not fail!

 

Oh, this was soi 6 at 1.30pm this afternoon. Very sad!

Also i dropped into the sabai-dee for a soapy and they were happily dispensing beer!

 

Victor and Olga discussing the politics of Pattaya i the Big C this afternoon.

 

Bring on midnight, let the celebrations begin!!!!

Nope, No. 2 won it. So the equivalent of the Don Corleone family will now be running Pattaya. In case you don't know, his father is known as Kamnan Po and had to run to Cambodia to hide out from a murder charge. There is MUCH more to the story...but.....

I am shattered but I will get over it!

 

Please can we here more about number 2?

[laffnliv 78]

Sorry Oz. But I may have said too much already. Don't know who may be reading this. When you live here as I do you sometimes know too mutt.

Please can we here more about number 2?

Hi,

You will have more information in this PattayaDailyNews article :

http://www.pattayadailynews.com/shownews.p...NEWS=0000005878

 

You will certainly appreciate one of his policies :

. the eradication of Pattaya's red-light venue – Walking Street

Ozijeff, the Kamnan Po family of Chon Buri is considered the leading mafia outfit in a very tough and violent province. The old man is indeed on the run from a murder conviction. The sons split up between going to Bangkok and spreading mafia influence and schmoozing with the big shots by being ministers, and getting "elected" to places around the province.

 

Kamnam Po gets a few good hits on Google.

[ozijeff 9]

Interesting info guys.

Number 2 certainly looks nice in his uniform in his election poster. So now he is Mayor!~?

 

Front the above article ...

 

Mr. Ittipon intends to put his vision for a new improved Pattaya into practice by carrying out the following policies:

 

· environmental improvement

· the implementation of an effective water supply for the city and Kho Larn (Coral Island)

· a 12-year free education system

· low-cost housing for low income groups

· a new, improved traffic system

· a tramline transportation system

· flood prevention

· job opportunities to decrease poverty

· the eradication of Pattaya's red-light venue – Walking Street

· the establishment of a drug-observation and prevention centre

· the encouragement of ecotourism

· the construction of a sports centre

· the establishment of a tourism festival

· the encouragement of world-class entertainment

 

Bold policies which will indeed elevate the status and life chances of Pattaya folk if they are implemented. We shall see.

 

MMM, if he does away with Walking Street, I doubt he will have to worry about a tramline system. there wont be enough people to warrant it.
