The harassment of tourists and the stupid closing time of 2-2:30am every night should be the tip of the iceberg for tourists. Don't bother spending money or coming to Thailand, go somewhere else instead. They don't want you here.

CounterServicePay - is that still working fine for paying electricity, etc. via credit cards? I know that CounterServicePay was popular a few years ago.

On the beach of course! Didn't you read the title, "Car on the Beach December 17th"?

Will there be a "Fast & the Furious" race down Beach Rd, Paul Walker & Vin Diesel style?

"Hello there, my family and I will be in Pattaya on xmas day and are trying to find out if any pubs do xmas lunch, or if any of the malls have something chistmassy going" I don't know if you realise, but Thailand is a Buddhist country, not a Christian country. They don't celebrate Xmas here. Malls - yes, they've got Xmas trees there. Is that "Christmassy" enough for you? Lunch - there's always loads of places that do lunches and buffets. Just pick what you like.

"Anything changed I should be aware of that's changed, ie Cops, etc?" Yes, massive changes. The cops are closing everything at 2-3am every night and doing nightly raids on the clubs. Don't bother coming, it's not like the good old days.

Is it time to turn vegetarian?

Why the hell would you come to Pattaya with a family, if you want to shelter them from the bar scene and the girls?

"Does anyone think it's still a good idea to live long term in Pattaya? I have been seeing reports & video's that people want to leave and that the prices are too high on everything. I'm not seeing any positive chatter at all." No, it's getting way too expensive here. I agree, it's best all the dudes to leave while they can and find another destination.

So the Kbank staff lied to me then. How can we even log in? The only options to Log In is K-biz, K-Cyber Invest, K-Cyber Trade & K-Corporate Connect: https://www.kasikornbank.com/en/personal All which have nothing to do with logging into normal online banking.

Ok, how many decades are we talking about? Soi Cowboy isn't nightclubs. Well, there is one I've heard of that is called Penny Black and apparently that one apparently goes strong until the early hours of the morning, something like 6am, based on the Youtube videos I've seen.

You can't do web browser online banking with Kbank, unless you're Thai. That was what I was told at Kbank when I also wanted to have web browser online banking access. Foreigners can only use the Kbank app.

Flexx on Walking St got raided the night before this one. Tons of tourists go to Flexx. My statement isn't overdramatic at all.

Ok boomer.

Never used XE.com, tried clicking on the "Send" button (without registering and opening an account) and it says we can't use it here in Thailand. So how are you guys managing to use it? Sorry, we can't send money from your country yet We are always expanding our service though, so please check again in the future.

Why would any tourists in their right minds come to Thailand? Nightly raids every night, closing down everything very early. Better save your money or spend it somewhere else. Not a good image for tourists wanting to come here.

Definitely Fahrenheit Agogo. The cops closing everything at 2:30am on Walking Street is backfiring on them by sending the masses of people onto the street. It's causing more issues than good with lots of reported incidents.

LK President is nice and quiet, basically opposite the infamous Soi Pothole nightlife area where you find the most hideous looking ladies and ladyboys that Pattaya has to offer. Also around the corner from Soi Buakhao.

You got ripped off. 200 baht to rent a motorbike is standard.

Say a ladyboy was trying to grab you on the street and you wanted them to f*** off, would saying any of those 2 words be ok or would it be too "rude"?

You were given a recent update. You must've missed my post - "It is still packed. Don't bother going."

It is still packed. Don't bother going.

"Detained was the club manager who was charged with operating a club and selling alcohol beyond the shut down time" Funny how only Flexx had this issue. Insomnia, Myst, and all the other clubs on Walking St were also opened to 3am until the cops came to shut them all down, but none of them seem to have been charged.

Agreed. It's getting beyond ridiculous now. Nothing is open, everything is being shut down.

They'd be of all different nationalities at Flexx. Mainly African Americans, white Americans, Arabs, Asians.
