You’re an extension of your wife, not an individual, in the eyes of a collectivist cultured person therefore you should have wai’d first. The director made the effort to come to your wife’s house and was a guest, and for you to not wai her is basically causing your wife to lose face and disregarding the status of the director. I know that sounds ridiculous but too bad I personally dont return a wai from frond desk people or taxi drivers etc because it seems odd. However, police, immigration, etc, people who probably take their authority seriously I pay them respect as a mechanical gesture to perhaps smooth the interaction over. same with parents or elders. I simply do it symbolically.

Heaven pizza. Get the pattaya pizza it’s so f***** good and you will be full from one pizza or less. lots of pizza is medium sized cardboard garbage but heaven pizza is gourmet

I have a bad feeling the plan is to coral all the punters onto that small strip of soi buakow and sterilize everything else for hordes of Chinese “”””big spenders””” the thing is soi buakow is already packed with punters and even with minimal tourist numbers it’s already too much. There’s too many dudes chasing a small amount of girls. Kind of gross

She probably had to pay someone off. Just sounds like a BS story.

He’s probably pulling an abundance of gutter trash but not “hotties” by that description

The guy is so very clearly not swiss that it’s hilarious. This is the most childish thing every. Anyways, the amount of tattoos someone has is inversely proportional to their IQ

I guess that’s just more evidence of what I already suspected. What I want to know is who’s calling the shots on this? Is it prayOOt himself or is there some kind of plan actually on the ground with developers, Chinese, and landlords to orchestrate this?

I feel the need to stir the pot. Does anyone else believe this is a DELIBERATE effort to kill the red-light venues, as an indirect way to actualize the xenophobia of the current “administration.” They hate foreigners, they want them out, and this is an effective way to do it without overtly declaring so; similar to the retirement alterations There is no other logic behind these specific closures, considering that places like tree town are blatantly selling alcohol and the place is packed with people every night. there is no logic in closing open air bars if this is allowed max

Hate to sound like a conspiracy theorist but I’m pretty sure they are deliberately doing this to kill the red-light oriented businesses and venues in pattaya. there’s no other logic that explains why they’re permitting the sale of alcohol in BKK, Phuket, etc but not Pattaya. I have a sinking feeling theyre going to find a way to keep the bars, gogos, and clubs closed indefinitely, despite the numbers. They had the festival with thousands of people together which is a much more virulent event IMO

The “logic” I’m parsing from all this is that they’re intent on slowly killing the red-light activity in pattaya without overtly stating. The thing is, regardless of whether they succeed, the “activity” will continue via online apps. I’m certain there will always be a supply and a demand; considering the absolutely appalling condition of the western worlds sexual marketplace. Thai women are proof that it’s actually very easy to be a woman, yet western women fail miserably at it

Yea walking street can go. But they should let Buakow/LK/TreeTown go on

I’d bet some baht they’re going to somehow categorize gogos, clubs, and beer bars as distinctly risk-laden and keep them shut until there’s almost none left. Oh well! Off to a villa party

Honestly? *chuckles* TR visa + 30 day ext (90 days) + two month overstay. Make sure you turn yourself in at the airport lol

Pffff implying you came here for something else. What remains after its “cleaned up”? A bunch of dilapidated shop houses, hole in the wall restaurants, and a crusty beach. Oh boy.

Lol it’s possible

I went to a Thai place yesterday. Open air, live music, everyone drinking without any kind of concealment. They only raid farang oriented bars

“Where are single older farang women retiring” thankfully out of my sight

Lol not a boomer, I’m 30

8% net is an extremely optimistic scenario

Juuuust wait bud. ”if the farang didn’t live in Thailand he would not have been able to kill our brother”

These personally are the worst for me and make me cringe deeply but at the end of the day it’s a small price to pay. The social-cultural schizophrenia of the west, it’s endless striving for the vague and unattainable goalposts of equality and “””progress”” are worse IMO. As a foreigner, you’re not really subjected to the externalities of these mentioned negatives. speaking thai and showing deference to their cultural mannerism and disposition can counteract and allay a lot of these concerns

I like to play this game called “we all already know exactly what happened” so this is what happened: the wife went out and arranged for the Thai intruder to rob her husband, either because she just wants a nice payout and/or get rid of him under the guise of a robbery gone wrong. the fact that she had to be woken up, and the fact that she knew the guy, is enough evidence. Of course they “had no relationship.” I have a Thai girl who tells me straight to my face unflinchingly that she doesn’t have a boyfriend, yet when I go on her tiktok, she’s taking a video and he’s slumped on the bed in the background. Things I’m not doing: -getting married to a Thai woman (nope! Don’t care) -buying anything that I can rent at all -?retiring outside a farang ghetto?

Preach.

Way to represent for Americans, scumbag.

I’ve been here since January. There is absolutely NOTHING appealing about Pattaya/Jomtien except for the ease of access to sex with attractive girls within its proximity. In the absence of that. It’s a depressing, dreary, place that feels like it shut years ago. Nothing will bring this place back to life EXCEPT the steady wealth transfer of BOOMER BUX to naive Thai teens for sex. Nope! It’s not the “beach” Nope! It’s not for business Nope! It’s not the uh “attractions”
