More boring tourists coming on the usual tour buses..

Who are these complainers?

I find my life is better here on the whole than when I was living in the states. I have a slim and beautiful wife - something I never had before.

Besides, I'm self employed and earn all my income online. It's not much but it's okay for living here in South East Asia. I'd never be able to live like this in the west. Try finding a $100-$200 a month apartment back "home".

I usually set it at 24. That is too cold if I leave it going. I turn it on and off throughout the day.

Geesh. Why don't they give the poor Indians a break. We hear about these stories every single day.

If you don't enjoy a bit of nightlife(Pattaya pretty much revolves around this) and the problems that come with it then you're probably better off somewhere else. After all, there are plenty of nicer and more affordable seaside locales you can visit/live. If I wasn't hitting Soi 6 all the time I'd probably be in Vietnam or Bali.

Food, sex, and booze is all within earshot here. It's why I love Pattaya so much.

Thailand is my favorite country in the world and Pattaya is my favorite city in Thailand. I've lived here for years and wouldn't want to be anywhere else. As you can see I really love this place.

OP seems to have something against crappy old bikes with a sidecar. Wonder what he's driving?

Some guys just walk.

Wow. A terrible crime has been committed.

I watched this one video about this farang & his wife who sold locally sourced silver jewelry on ebay. Seemed pretty successful at it.

I've never really cared for religion(I'm an atheist). I really don't know why humanity needs it. Cultural decoration perhaps?

Well, after living here for years you kind of become like a Thai. Take me for example. I eat Thai food about 90% of the time. I'm always eating rat/cat/dog on a stick with the 5 baht bags of sticky rice.

What are they?

I notice these bars too. They tend to have a lot of very handsome Thai guys hanging outside.
