The differences in expenditure could be caused by Pattaya’s changing visitor population. The city’s mayor, Poramet Ngampichet, claims that the issue is that they are reducing their budget. Pattaya also missed out on Chinese tourists, another group with a reputation for spending more money than Vietnamese and Indian visitors. 3.3 million foreign visitors traveled to Thailand between January and July of this year, according to the Thai Tourism Authority.
