USS Abraham Lincoln crew are resting in Pattaya, and the city expects at least 100 million baht in spending on hotels, attractions and spas. Crew are at about 100-150 USD per person per day. Restrictions apply: no water sports, no pharmacy visits, and no entry to Soi 6 and 7 after sunset. Walking Street and Soi 8 are not restricted. If you run a hotel, spa, restaurant or shop near those areas, expect a busier period with heavier security and possible price checks, and plan staffing and stock accordingly.
