Expat Tom

Four Indian men go into a bar in Pattaya and order one beer and four straws.....rich Indians to the rescue! HAHAHA!!! The reason that the are (or might be) rich is because they spend no money!!!!!

Apparently some one didn't get their brown envelope for the month. What about the Russian bars on Walking Street? They likely have paid off the right people enough. There can be little doubt that the Russian bars and the Eastern European ladies working there are Russian mafia and also little doubt that they will go untouched.  

This country has become far too violent for me....I'm out of here!

Maybe it is a sign or age or maybe a sign of my upbringing but I would never go to a government (or non-government) office dressed like a disrespectful bum. My blessed grandmother would have slapped the snot out of me if I had. I have been to this office many times and think that the sign should be amended to include: "Patrons Must Shower and (men) Should Shave. Clothes Should be Clean and Deodorant is Suggested" That last requirement might limit the number of European clients.   

Foreigners in general are viewed a sheep waiting to be sheared by Thai's. That is just the simple fact of the matter. There are many things wrong with my home country but differential pricing for foreigners and price gouging by licensed public utilities would NEVER be tolerated. One has to wrap one's mind around the fact that , "this isn't Kansas Dorthy". There is no democratic traditions anywhere in Asia. This is an area of the world with traditions of absolute rulers and total lack of empathy for the common man. Human life is cheap here and if you wander around void of situational awareness, you might meet some serious misfortune.

This isn't politically correct but, one of the major draws for tourism to Thailand is sex. To deny that is just plain dishonest. 

Soi 6???!!! Say it ain't so! I'm shocked. I live on Soi 5 and never knew such things happen only one street away?

HAHAHA. Let me give you a little advice. Only drink at bars that give you a running total bill and check that total after every drink.

I am 1000% sure that this is the same demented jerk that got in my face while I was walking along the beach in Pattaya a few days ago at 1000 AM. The aggressive move that he made toward me would have normally earned him a ass whipping on the spot but his glassy eyes and emaciated bean pole body save him. It was obvious that he was not playing with a full deck and was no threat. The authorities need to gather this poor lost soul up and institutionalize him until he cam be deported to where ever he came from. I really feel sorry for him. He's a real mess and if he is allowed roam free he will eventually piss-off someone who might react with out charity.    

Darn!  I was just getting ready to go there ....not!

Wow! I live on Soi 5 and never knew!!!!!????

I don't believe a word of it. Swedes and their Norwegian cousins don't commit fraud! Just joking....New Nordic would not stand up to any financial  inquiries based on acceptable accounting practices. Someday that house of cards will collapse.    

And the girls in the Russian bars on Walking Street in Pattaya are 'untouchable'? Why? Who got paid on that one and why do we need Russian hookers in Thailand....just asking. BTW, I prefer Thai ladies over Russians any day. 

Damn, I wish that I had been there and seen it happen. I would have loved to slap the old fart silly. We farang sometimes get a bad rap in Thailand and sometime we deserve it. We need to be proactive and police our kind and, I use the term "our kind' in a very broad way.

Four Indian men go into a bar in Pattaya and ask fr one beer and four straws. After their beer they go out on the street and try to convince a Thai "lady" to lower her price and go with all four of them. Brilliant choice Thailand! Let's run the Western tourists out and replace them with Indian's and Chinese. What is you next target market? Nigeria?

It is truly sad no matter the reason or the blame. It just goes to highlight how dangerous this country is....unfortunately. 

FYI, Agent Orange was used on all of the US Military bases in Thailand as well as Vietnam. In fact, it was used as heavily here as in Vietnam. If you check the world crime statistics, you are much more likely to get raped, mugged, beaten up or killed in Thailand today than Vietnam. Since you posted on Thai Visa, I assume that you read it as well.

It really makes me mad when I read stuff like this. I am an American and the last think that the USA needs is jerks like this spreading 'goodwill'. Too bad this isn't Singapore where they would likely be caned in public before being kicked out of the country. Why only 5000 baht fine? In the USA that amount of money is trivial. They should have been fined 50,000 baht each. JERKS!!!! 

Give me a break. are you actually saying that, no pimp-no prostitution? How completely absurd.

I wonder if any study has ever been done to determine just how many people come to Thailand for the 'pleasures' of Walking Street and other similar attractions and what the actual economic impact would be if they did eliminate the charming ladies plying the world's oldest profession?

Does that mean that I can ask for my money back? HAHAHAAHA! OMG!

Unfortunately this story in not unique. 

The world is full of jerks. This is just one fleeting example.
