Bitter? Just have enough money and enjoy your life.

Why?

I guess you just don´t fit in.

Not risky at all. Only as @OneMoreFarang posts. Have all the documents.

No, but possibly being a little bit verbally abused, does not legitimize violence. This misunderstood group is unusually fragile.

Today, yes! Not always. Just felt for a free day today. Wife and children away for two days, visiting grandma. I could only be free one day. ????

???????? Thanks for the explanation! Now I finally understand the underlying difficulties surrounding this particular and misunderstood group.

How are you doing? I think you would like to revise that statement. Crime Index by City 2023 Mid-Year (numbeo.com)

Ok, so that makes it ok for them to use violence on, steal money and gold from, foreigners? Can you please give me lots of info about foreigners beating up LB´s and transgenders in Pattaya. I can deliver the opposite. So, there you have it in plain text to be seen as facts. Then you know why the blame falls on them. If you have anything else you need sorted out, feel free to ask. ????

You were about 2,5h too late. Not looking good on you Bigbird

I guess you meant cesspit, right? Sure, the city has all the bad parts you are mentioning. However, it also have a lot of good parts. For example a very strong and good expat community, that many foreigners in Thailand seek. Basically same as Los Altos, Spain in that case, to take a very good example. Moreover, foreigners will find all kinds of attractions from barlife, young girls, imported foods, modern accommodation, beach life and so on.... In that case, it´s a magical city.

What? I am not talking about any right to be anywhere? Of course Thai people have more rights in Thailand than me and other foreigners. However, that does not give psycho ladyboys and transgenders the right to use violence as soon as they not get what they want or someone do not like them. We read about this happening rather frequently. The thing is rather simple, if you chose to climb outside of the standard norm you will also need to have the courage to stand up for what you are without the use of violent actions. And, FYI, in my world they are psychos.

So, it´s better to let some psycho´s pretending to be women chase people out of a whole city?

Why are video games so often blamed for mass shootings? The answer is incredibly simple. It´s just not a good combination to engage in a virtual world where they shoot-the-5hit-out-of-everything and a mental disorder. Just too easy to mix virtual life and reality, I guess. However, for mentally healthy is should not pose a problem.

Not in your opinion, but it seems to be what the OP wanted. If it is better or not is not the point here. The point is that you should respect the OP´s wish. Still you do not get, that it was not about reviews. It was only about recommendations. After that, I am sure the OP will search for reviews about the recommendation. That was he do not have to read all the top reviews.

Seems like that is your opinion and not the OP´s. He do not want reviews. He want recommendations from members on this forum. So, no! You still don´t get it.

You just don´t get it, right? Even if everyone can go one booking and look, the OP chose to ask on Asean Now forum and it´s members for what they thought. He also tried to explain that to you numerous of times. It´s really very simple. Give a particular suggestion in the name of a hotel if you have any experience of the island. Otherwise let it be. We all know that you can search for hotel and read reviews on Booking, Agoda, Expedia and so on. However, that was not the wish of the OP:

Yes, and that is why he make a thread and pose a question. If you have nothing to contribute with, you are not needed here. Just go start another dull thread as usual.

I have stayed here a few times. Like it. Clean and friendly. Le Vimarn Cottages & Spa, Ko Samed – Updated 2023 Prices (booking.com)

Actually, not a clue what you are on about?

No Bigbird! Now you are calling real facts for attacks.

OK, yes I am aware of the option to use Paypal payment without account. Strange that it suddenly stopped working. No clue. Can´t help you there.

And, according to you and your previous posts. What are you doing now? ????

Hey @bob smithAre you still drinking? Still alive? Where are you? Hospital or Jail?
