What a load of bull manure. Especially that video, what was that all about? Talking about Indians making incorrect accusations against a backdrop of normal Thai life. The screenshot that shows the video is not Indians sleeping on the beach, it's a number of nationalities after the countdown in Pattaya this year, which was cleaned up shortly after. Whilst not a lover of some of the Indian people's behaviour it is exaggerated because nowadays there are more Indians visiting since visa regulations were eased.

Your problem has nothing to do with reporting your address. Your online report was rejected due to the stupid rule requiring your first report after being outside the country to be done in person. Simple as that. Address reporting is a separate issue you may have to submit a new TM30 if you stayed in a hotel and the hotel registered you at that address.

Well I have been using Cambodia Travel for a few years. This year I went to them to do my extension and they informed me that they no longer use Bangkok Bank. I think they must have had problems with their branch on Pattaya Tai. Anyway they said they now use Krungsri Bank. Not wishing to change agent I agreed to this and met the agent a few days later at the branch in Central to open a new account. I had to go down to the AIS shop for some reason with one of their helpers to get a slip to take back to the bank. I then waited with the agent and then opened a new Krungsri account at no cost. The agent did the business and put 800k in and then I transferred back to them. I then had to go to Soi 5 immigration where I met another helper for my photo to be taken. I collected my extension from them 3 days later. The cost was 12,500 baht, no extra cost for opening a new Krungsri account. Hope this helps.

A nonsense and misleading article. The police rarely if ever inspect the tourist nightclubs on Walking St etc. They do however inspect the many Thai clubs that are found on 3rd road etc. These have nothing to do with keeping tourists safe.

Lots of laughable comments about destroying Pattaya as a family destination, it's pathetic. None of you know where all this took place. It's out on the Darkside in Nongprue. It's miles away from the tourist and and so called "family" area. It's just a problem with local youths that occurs in many cities of the world. Stop posting digs at Pattaya because you are not allowed to go there and have a bit of fun.

Nana Plaza is a sh*t hole, why would anyone care what the best bar is.

Nick Dean at NDTVI did a great video on Harlan's

I very much doubt that he was a tourist

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.

All this bull manure being posted about Pattaya. Yes there are isolated incidence that get publicity due to increased social media that wasn't there in days gone by. If you just live your life and stay out of trouble Pattaya is a safe and enjoyable place to live. There is first class housing in the gated villages in East Pattaya. Loads of varied nightlife when you choose to visit. Restaurants are some of the best in Asia. There are beaches in Pattaya and Jomtien with many quiet beaches just outside. Water quality is questionable on Pattaya beach but other areas fine. People who put Pattaya down either havnt spent much time here or have never been. Or in many cases are jealous because they live in a bedsit in the UK or somewhere in Nakon Nowhere in Thailand. I have lived in my house in East Pattaya on the Darkside for 13 years and never ever seen or experienced any violence like reported on the various media channels.

Just use plain flour and crunch up a Viagra pill in it, that should do the trick.

It was probably just her gas

Contrary to popular opinion. Dongtan Beach is "not full of homosexuals". Normal people trying to enjoy the beach. After dark it's different I am told.

Another keyboard Richard Head warrior. I have been here 12 years, married to my Thai wife. I am on the beach now and the homeless are everywhere. I know they have to stay somewhere but stay off the beach, spoiling it for everyone.
