SAFETY FIRST

Geeze, look at all these members who would be happier elsewhere.

Sad to see, unbelievable. 

So HAPPY, Love it
Thailand has been my home for over 20 years 
Wouldn't be anywhere else. I have teenage children that were born in Bangkok hospital Pattaya, grew up in the same house, been going to the same schools. We are lucky here in Pattaya, excellent schools, world class hospitals, wonderful shopping centers and many things to do with the family. 

Over the years I've been working in many countries around the world on a 28/28 day rotation. I'm an Australian, it's so much easier to fly, get to work from Bangkok Airports. 

I've been fortunate, not sure if I'd still be alive if I hadn't been working, probably be dead through alcohol abuse. 

I find it very difficult to understand how a foreigner can work here in pattaya, Thailand is around the clock for fun and relaxation, not just weekends, working here in Pattaya would be difficult. I've worked down in Songkla, offshore, on a rig, no temptation so it was OK working 4 week rotation on the rig. 

I spend all my time in Thailand, not going anywhere, on my time off, I get asked regularly why I don't go to Australia. There is no need, all my friends and family come to Thailand to visit, I've only been back to Australia a few times over the last 20 years, the company I work for occasionally sends me to Australia for work visas for different countries. 

I came to Thailand because it's perfect for me, I'm still in my 50's, so many more years to enjoy this beautiful land (fingers crossed). 

I hope things don't change, I get ticked off by foreigners that want to change Thailand, also the haters, the complainers and moaners.

I prefer Thailand the way it is, leave it be, it works for me. 

The three L`s

You're located Nakon No...where. 

Sadly, you may have to just walk away. 

Realestate is an amazing asset, you really need to switched on to master it. 

I bought my first house in pattaya 20 years ago. 

I've signed over a dozen housing and condo contracts here in pattaya (city side of Sukhumvit) over the years, sold a few over the years, always at a profit and always promptly. Never purchased on the dark side. 

To all interested in purchasing property, wherever in the world, never forget the three L's

Good luck

From the article:

They haven't heard of guardrails which would should be standard at such an edge?

Some pain/signs, solar powered warning lights would be added comfort. Asking for too much

Nothing to do with your comments above. 

The problem has been clearly identified by another member from his comment below 

Driven that road so many times.  You'd have to be stupid drunk to end up on the beach

Asking for a friend 

He has bought a new phone with 5G, he has high speed internet with AIS, unlimited.

Does he need to replace his old sim, does he need a new sim card from AIS to receive a 5G signal? 

If so, does AIS charge for sim replacement?

 where it all went to hell for some of you

Some people are never happy, sadly it all went to hell when they were born.

I agree with a previous comment, most of the agitators are living abroad, I reckon miserable because they are wanting desperately to come back to Thailand but are unable due to insufficient funds etc. 
There are some agitators living here, they will never change, miserable bastards, easily spotted, grumpy, angry looking. 
Next time you're out driving and you hear a horn blast aggressively, have a look at the driver, I bet he's a foreigner, 9 out of 10 times it will be. At times I'm embarrassed to be a foreigner when I see this childish behavior, if I can I will ask them to grow up, stop being a child. 
To all you miserable, angry people, chill, life is wonderful, you're alive so enjoy your life.

Have you ever felt unsafe or in danger from crime in Pattaya?

Not pattaya, but going to Pattaya. 

Just after opening, around 15 years ago I arrived Survarnabuhmi late at night. I walked out of the airport and a Thai man asked me where I was going, I told him I was going to Pattaya, he gave me a price, and I agreed, followed the man to his van parked on the roadway. I jumped into the van and so did 2 other Thai guys. We took off, I yelled out I wanted to get out, the driver kept going, they forced the sliding door shut, I opened it slightly yelling out, still in the airport driveway they stopped the van, I got out, they threw my bag out and they took off.
I thought I was very lucky, after that experience I pre book with Mr. T everytime.

What makes you stay in spite of feeling such misery. I am only trying to understand where it all went to hell for some of you

Thailand has been my home for over 20 years.
I've seen a lot come and go.
I've noticed that some guys come here to live, looking for that young pretty that calls them sexy man as they walk down the road. 
Some of these guys at times end up getting married to a woman that has been rejected by the Thai guys, an awful, horrible woman. I reckon this makes the foreigner unhappy and angry, they hate themselves and everything, never happy always miserable. 
I'm still in my 50's, my children are teenagers and the eldest looking to go to university in Bangkok next year, maybe when I'm older I will get angry and bitter. 
I hope not

she might have been spiked? for the purpose of robbery..doesnt say what she was intoxicated with..

Judging by her physique (beer belly etc.) I think we know what she was intoxicated with. 

She's a seasoned drinker

Where in pattaya are you testing 5G? 

I have a 5G sim (ais) and my phone is 5G (recently purchased) but have never seen a 5G signal

Farangs (Russian) sold me a car. Got it checked by the driving centre garage. 3rd party (Thai) involved said no accident. After sale, next garage I went to said it had “too much accident”. The 3rd party had also offered to update my green book for me for B5000 and after many calls has still not given the book back. I now have no tax and she won’t answer my calls. Not a violent crime but sucks to be the victim. Any suggestions by the way?

I reckon you're to blame. 

From what I read you did not follow the proper procedure when purchasing used vehicles, if you did you would have your blue book. 

Be accountable.

If you are fed up with this type and unhappy reading about it, you have the easy choice in not reading the posts, the slightly harder one of putting the poster on your ignore list or going back home where your whining and moaning attitude is more acceptable and you will have a more favourable audience. The choice is yours alone to make.

Why are you looking for excuses? 

Are you one of those looking to sponge off the 30 Baht Thai health system?

Shame on you
