Who is 'we', the proverbial mouse in your pocket?
I do care. I am not a tourist here and dislike this rather discriminatory practice. The extra cost for non-Thais is sometimes a bit too much.
That is a shame really. It was a little overpriced I thought, but definitely worthy of a visit. Really makes the idea that Pattaya is a one trick pony nonsense.
From what I hear, that is a market to get out of, being a landlord getting pretty tough in the UK these days, rules and requirements being stacked against you.
I have a neighbour who recently built up his property walls.... initially thinking it was for more privacy and keeping people out..... now I wonder if he is keeping lions in!
Pattaya still holds a lot of positives beyond the girlie scene. Perhaps move away from the central areas, and beware of these emotional ladies! Many many are living with a GF/wife without much drama....
It is difficult to see why specifically foreigners doing this presents any more of a problem than the locals. (Other than them working without a work permit!)
They do present themselves in a xenophobic light.
Drama, some are into it! My pal's girlfriend flushed his passport and I know many who had knives waved at them. Don't let it get that far, nor be in a hurry to build a nest.
Yeah, I was using similar things twenty years ago here, although more commonly with pork meat. Usually like someone else to do the cooking when I eat out, and most non-AC places are hot enough without that thing bubbling on the table.
