It amazes me at how critical people can be.... about places they've never been to... and things they've never attended... etc.
Isn't it in the best interest of Bitcoin to consider the views of the average person, narrow though you may think they are?
Pattaya!? Really??
A lot of people, partly thanks to some media outlets and bloggers, already see bitcoin as the currency of drug dealers and
terrorists... shall we add sex tourism to the list? Why beg for bad press?
And are good beaches really a priority when it comes to bitcoin conferences?
I mean who cares what the public thinks about this stuff as long as we can have a good time?
So much for me getting family and friends interested in Bitcoin...
Seriously, what are you thinking?

Consider focusing the bitcoin conference locations on world financial centers (hong kong, london, dubai, nyc, ...) rather than fun vacation destinations
