Beach chair vendors admit to nearly doubling prices for rentals

Sun worshippers are complaining that increasing numbers of beach chair vendors are charging 20 baht more than the city-mandated rental rate of 30 baht.

 Both Thai and foreign tourists have complained about vendors, many near Central Festival Pattaya Beach, using the busy Songkran period to jack up rates for beach chairs and umbrellas.

 

One vendor openly admitted to charging more than legally allowed, saying many did the same during busy times to make more money off tourists. The vendor reasoned the price hike was justified because tourists were bringing their own food, not buying it from the vendors.

Complaints have yet to reach the ears of Pattaya’s mayor or regulators. The brazen vendors said they’ll continue to charge what they want until forced not to.

Inside look at Luxury Villa Estate Talay Sawan in Bang Saray!

A while ago i posted about a luxury housing village in Bang Saray. What makes this village truly unique is not only its original take on Thai Bali design, but the fact that the entrance is roughly 50 meters from the sand  in Bang Saray beach.
Housing estates on the beach are basically non existant. Combining this, with the fact how rapidly Bang Saray and the entire Eastern Sea Board are growing makes this not only a great place to live but a very sound investment. The pictures do not do the villa justice, have a look at the video below to get a feel for what living in this luxury estate may be like and check out our ad at pattayarealestatemarket.com.
