Thai media Manager went to Pattaya and found desperate unemployed people squatting in the city's closed pubs and bars.
Ten were in one bar area in Soi Bua Khao in central Pattaya. The once thriving red light area is now a shadow of its former self with no tourists to speak of.
Both men and women are sleeping in the bars by night then by day they seek handouts of food and try to get odd jobs so they can survive.
