My reply was about people in general not specifically you. But as you made it personal I will engage.
Of course it's not right to engage in any criminal activity, the point is that it was happening years ago as well, but nowadays we know about it because of social media.
Most people post about Pattaya with limited or no personal experience. I don't suggest anything other than it's a great place to live. I am not talking about the inner city but the whole area Pattaya encompasses.
My original post if you had read it properly stated I have lived here 12 years. Obviously you prefer not to live here but with your limited recent knowledge does not give you the right to make trash comments like "Pattaya is a crime ridden, foreign infested hellhole!
Finally like I said, people who live in Nackon Nowhere which translates to "A small town in Issan"
You are obviously an older person like myself, but someone stuck in the past, unlike me who is able to adapt and change with the times.
