Who gives a toss?

So now Pattaya is full of self made millionaire down to earth Alan Sugars? lmfao what planet do you people come from?

Many of these cheap charlies are pouncing, incapacity benefit claiming scum bags who've never done a days work in their lives. Pattaya is full of them if you don't know that or not aware of that then your about as switched on as broken headlight.

There are many good people here and on the other hand the ones that continually go on and on about ridiculous ways of saving a few baht are a total waste of space.

If i ever saw anyone kick a beggar out the way i would kick "them" up and down the soi "Mr Barret"

You have to learn fast here or get caught up and dragged down to the gutter levels of the skint no hoper loser that frequent many Pattaya bars, 99 baht all you can eat type of establishments etc etc.

Ive now cracked it and know of most, if not all, bars where customers are from the north of Watford, wear dirty vest tops, Soi Bua Khao market flip flops, look like Worzel Gummidge and are all in their words "millionaires" back wherever they are from..

Between them, collectively, there isn't enough brain cells to run a Duracell battery to a light a small pocket torch.

Everyone likes a deal but most of these cheap charlies are so thick their only conversation is where one can get something cheaper then somewhere else. We are not talking property or cars were talking shampoo 2 for the price of one, free toothpaste by collecting promotional samples from outside some shopping mall or where one can stuff ones fat face all day for a song.

In the five years of living in Pattaya almost every cheap charlie type character I have had the misfortune of coming across have all been either bitter or hate the Thais or themsleves or all three together, strange that.

None of them have been the smiling type full of the joys of spring or have anything remotely instresting to say other then how life is so crap with a face like their last partner screwed them over for every penny they had.

Ask a Thai to say "SQUIRREL", I'm LMAO now at some of the attempts I've heard by Thai's trying to say it.

Yeah it's farang but we know what it means.

hahahaha try Mr Fridge gets them every time....whats your name? Mr Fridge....MR Frith? No Fridge... Fisth? no....

In this day and age farang or falang used to describe a group of people who's skin is a different colour is completely unnecessary, rude and ignorant in every sense.

There's nothing worse then some yapping on about how good walking street used to be back when...., how the bg's were more friendly back when...., how you used to get a cold towel offered in every bar back when....., don't open a business, don't invest in Thailand what you cant walk away from... these cretins bore me to tears almost to the point of mental lock down until they move away from my personal space. They are as about as interesting as watching paint dry....times change, things move on, it's called progress and if you don't like it then fine but don't ram it down everyone's throat cos i for one am sick to death of it.

Pattaya is growing and growing fast the dimwits who cant see it are just that dimwits.

A British man who was filmed apparently taking part in opposition rallies and calling for buildings to be burnt to the ground, yesterday denied that he had carried out acts of arson. Jeff Savage, 48, an NHS worker from London, admitted he was present when ringleaders decided to burn down a television station. The blaze trapped 100 people. Thai police said Mr Savage, who has a Thai wife, was wanted for questioning and could face the death penalty.

A fitting puhishment would be to let the public watch at maybe Silom Square on an advertised date, so we can eat popcorn and "boo" then cheer when the head rolls....

Reds at Central now trying to burn it, can anyone confirm this?

calm before the storm, its very eerie

I think the reds are basically peacefull

I think you are basically simple.

The press in the US is giving this minimal coverage. All of my family/friends say nothing has been on the news of what's going on over here.

Most Americans don't even know where Bangkok is.

It's a local problem in a small country that produces little and has no effect on the local region - and certainly not on the US. Why should it get more coverage in the US? US has enough things to worry about like housing prices, Iraq, Afghanistan, health care, etc. Bangkok and Thailand don't make the list and they is no reason why they should make the list. That's just being realistic.

Only 37% of young Americans can find Iraq on a map - though U.S. troops have been there since 2003.

More bars been demolished on 2nd road next to Central, these bars had for sale signs on them just a few days ago, looks as if they was hoping for a last minute cash in from some unsuspecting sucker...imagine paying a years keymoney and rent upfront only to find the very next day the bar has been bulldozed...lol

I wouldn't be surprised is someone actually fell for it!

With all the fools who believe that some bar girls love them, i'm sure some idiot fell for it. LOL

Slightly altered sketch from OFAH.

Rodney: Me and Mickey Pearce are going to buy a bar in Pattaya...

Del: Ive got to hand it to ya Rodney you've only been in the business five minutes and already your going international...

Rodney: Yeah we sold those lawn mower engines last week so were gonna invest...

Grandad: Whatcha gonna invest in Rodney a Wendy House?

Del and Grandad laugh.

Next scene Rodney looks down in the dumps in Pattaya standing where his bar was going to be...

Del...Well Rodders I've flown half way round the world and I can tell you this ain't no ordinary Beer Bar I must say...

Rodney and Mickey Pearce look optimistic...No???

Del: No, It's not.... It's a "bulldozed Beer Bar"

Del stands there in fits of laughter, Rodney and Mickey look sick as pigs.

two words for anyone who slams people who like to shop for value, "Warren Buffett".....one of the world's richest guys and extremely frugal......

Yep plenty of "Warren Buffett's down at the New Plaza opposite Soi 7 and 8 ready and willing to share priceless business tips and strategies that will surely help you along your way, like who to have an each way on at the 3 o'clock at Plumpton, and an up to date map of Pattaya City with balloon markers indicating where it will be more than likely a good spot to look for a free and self satisfying evening meal.

It beats my European family, that's why I ran away to Thailand....yeah go on, call me a dead beat dad you schmucks...what would you of done?

This is the least of Thailand's worries at the moment.

I reckon its worth about 10%

every little extra helps...

You learn something new everyday.

It's alright just keep away from the ozzies.

A tattoo on a woman can be very sexy if done right and in the right place, being in the right frame of mind about it obviously helps.

They should complain to their pommy government as it was they who grounded all flights on what could have been dodgy computer models instead of getting some hard evidence.

I love low season when these professional whingers are back in the UK. Sooner they get them out, the better.

Most poms are not talk to think as in the UK they have big governemt, lawyers to sue everybody they don't like and a general we are right attitude.

It's a hard world and you (poms) should be more adapted to survive in it and quit the whining.

Pathetic post, childish anti-UK rantings. You say other people are 'professional whingers', read your own post and see the irony. Yes I have survived thank you very much and I can guarantee doing a dam_n site better job of it than you.

Don't bite eltelboy hes obviously either jealous at not being a "pom" or a just a moron. You get these tossers all over the internet he is plainly one of them. Funny thing is, he wouldn't meet ya face to face and say it, and i would lay 50,000 baht cash down on the table now he wouldn't.

Couldn't agree more - not so long ago we British were thought of as 'gentlemen abroad' - now we're just thought of as a tattoed bunch of thugs. Yes there are serious problems in the UK - that's why I left the dump 10 years ago

I agree unless your name is Mohamed, pray 5 times a day and adamantly will not accept the local traditional culture in any way or form whatsoever you might as well pack up and leave.

You would get more sense from a patron to the Den then some of the crack pots residing here.

Even at these exchange rates the comparison of cost of living is still worlds apart between here and the UK.

Here:

No council tax.

Electric and water has been FREE on many occasion when the monthly bin has arrived at our post box.

Food and water is as cheap as chips, literary.

Public transport is the equivalent to pennies.

It only costs allot here when you go out spending like there's no tomorrow in the bars/clubs. Live sensibly and it is, still, very cheap here.

I'm far from skint but I would rather be here than London getting by, day to day, standing in the Job center Que along side Mr Polanski who doesn't speak a word of English with offers of work for a shilling a day and a horse shit sandwich in the miserable cold, damp, depressing weather.

It was a warm summers evening when "the family" arrived from the village to meet me for the first time.

I was in the shower and heard the commotion downstairs so hurried to get myself down to greet them all.

The old man had gone outside and the mother in-law was left in the house roaming around and I guess just being a little nosy.

As I walked down the stairs we came face to face for the very first time. I smiled and waied trying my very best to give a good impression.

She looked a little odd with very puffed out cheeks like she had been stung by a Bea or something.

I asked her "you OK?" it was then something happened that I will never forget for the rest of my life. She opened her mouth and smiled with her teeth and gums covered in a red, her mouth was full of red paste stuff that ooozed down her face on to her clothing leaving a stream of red down her chin.

Thankfully I never projectile vomited and stood there in dis-belief, <deleted>? is this the Adams Family in my house? I rushed back upstairs to gain composure...

It was only later i found out that is is an old Thai custom that some of these old timers chew betel leaf, and lime paste that stimulates the senses and turns red due to the chemical reaction of the ingredients.

It was odd to say the least. Anyway she turned out to be OK just wished i had been prepared for the unexpected vampire greeting...
