I don't take any notice of people that can't be bothered wearing a shirt and wear man bags. Ya kush king

Seafood = $$$ in restaurants..cook at home

Obviously hasn't been to Pattaya for a few years, very rarely see old guys now....it's all young potheads doing a weeks course of Muay Thai and thinking they are some kinda superman and starting fights everywhere...mind you, I guess that's what kush does to their brains.

All good for clicks... entitled or.what

Considering there are at least 500000 million tik tokers and insta aholes making money out of.."hey look best cheese toastie at 2am" ...I would say they must be good

It's a shame, Jomtien was once a laid back, welcoming place with easy connections to Pattaya Central. Some great little gems for food and drinks no fighting, no idiot potheads on big scooters racing around, and basically felt very safe. All that changed after covid, as well as most other tourist destinations in Thailand. I would walk on the beach at 5.30am alas, haven't been able to for fear of some nutter wanting to fight. The roads are atrocious but slightly better now it's 2 way. Scuzzy..yes definitely

I'm afraid having a WP does not automatically get you Thai pricing, How can a foreigner get paid for a job that is restricted

A Japanese customer of mine got charged foreigner price entering Sai Gaew navy beach....Japanese/Asian,not really racial profiling...just all foreigners dual pricing

This old chestnut, still debating and still the same outcome after 25 years I am aware of. Holding a WP and paying tax and SS, I made the decision to not even bother going anywhere that has dual pricing. This decision was made many years ago, after taking my wife and 3 half Thai kids to Kaen Krachang park...wife Thai price, me 10x and kids they couldn't decide what to charge them. Secondly, in Chonburi ( where I lived and my WP was registered) 10 x price of Thais for entrance to temple. Now all this about being local and US and other countries do it is not the same. Thailand discriminates against any foreigner, Why, when I was a tax payer and living in Chonburi province I was asked 10x of the Thai guy behind me registered in Chiang Rai and that didn't pay any tax??? That is not local taxes that is any foreigner will pay 10x what a Thai pays. No point in getting upset about it, it's the way it is so just avoid these places. Of course try saying it's only peanuts and US does the same...that simply isn't true and certainly isn't a good way to promote tourism

Now you know why PI has armed guards at 7/11 etc

Xmax 750, tats, and Muay Thai ..about the norm now, and not to mention a certain drug

I remember last week everyone slated a Thai for carrying a knife..his fault was the cry, even though it was self defence...this week a falang carries a knife and it's poor old guy was killed after being an ahole...make your mind up peeps or is it just blatant Thai/asian bashing???

A lot of expense and inconvenience but horses for courses.

Considering you can't stay in Vietnam for longer than 90 days, Thailand is still way ahead for retirees and those that are married and wish to work legally here, Vietnam poses no competition in that area

Theresa May, it's well known around Maidenhead she used to go to a pikey park in Twyford called JW Greens then onto an after hours party House in the suburbs with a few of the punters..quite common knowledge actually
