  1. We had the thread a few days ago about how scuzzy Jomtien has become, 37, Dutch national..2+2=4 in this case. Only those that live there knows exactly what caused this, kushty
  2. Maybe it's 3 or 4 random Thais paid 300 baht each for using their names, they have no idea or the consequences for that.
  3. I don't take any notice of people that can't be bothered wearing a shirt and wear man bags. Ya kush king
  4. Seafood = $$$ in restaurants..cook at home
  5. 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.
  6. 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
  7. 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
  8. 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
  9. 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
  10. 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
  11. Now you know why PI has armed guards at 7/11 etc
  12. Xmax 750, tats, and Muay Thai ..about the norm now, and not to mention a certain drug
  13. 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???
  14. Sometimes,.like when they are in the wrong like burglarizing a house
  15. No, just a concerned Parent having to up sticks and leave a place that has been me and my family's home for 15 years because of all these doped up hooligans.,.they deserve everything they get
  16. You just don't get it... deflecting again to Thais riding without licence etc 😁 😁 😁 😁 😁
  17. I would be happier in the world if the likes of the instigator didn't exist
  18. So basically you are saying there are not millions of Thais commiting crimes in the US, same as foreigners are here are. Thanks for confirming my pont👍
  19. Yeah right....how many millions of thais ride around on bikes in US, drunk, stoned, no helmets and no lisence the same foreigners do in Thailand!!!...None, nada, zilch
  20. You are deflecting again, nothing to do with USA...this thread is about Thailand 👍
  21. The poor kid had not long finished a 12 hour shift, stopped at 7/11 to buy something and some nutcase junkie foreigner attacks him and punches his tooth out....what world are you living in
  22. Well I guess the Thais are not happy with the other 99% of home grown crime but why should they have to put up with the other imported 1%...which I would say is debatable...that old excuse of deflection is no defense for this case 👍
