Not just in Pattaya (i live in Bkk, for 13 years now. It is day and night compared to 2012). The world and definitly Thailand has changed quite a bit in the past 10 years, COVID accelerated the whole movement. General prices have gone up - people/tourists coming in are definitly more broke - quality has gone down (reference to the old fugglies and younger ones who ask crazy prices, though the latter are increasingly skipping the aging bar-scene and moving online where they make waaay more dough..), and that is a bad mix. The "good fun" is kind of gone in more than one way. Times are changing and moving forward, it won't get back to what it was, nothing really does.

my oh my...This city/cesspool (Can add Patong too quite soon) is turning like a sort of Island of Doctor Moreau or The hills have eyes kind of place. with some inbred mutants crawling on the asphalt saying things like "AArg", "Urgg", "Arff" .

The "Medicinal" excuse for cannabis unregulated sales and the (really tedious) "eff you, i do what i want, if you dont like it stop breathing" irresponsible public consumption that goes with it was/is getting very annoying. To stay polite.

I think smoking it in public (like walking down the street as you say etc...) is actually prohibited and so is cannabis containing more than 0.2% THC. But walk into any C.Shop and they would sell 20% thc or even more cannabis products (which i think is insane), without any legal consequences or police involvement etc...So not sure how prohibiting something that is already illegal would change anything in terms of legal supervision and prosecution.

What an Effed up life it is.....pathetic

12 million baht? Wow. Didnt know a nurse could save that much money in Thailand.

There is no double pricing in the places where people with money go. And certainly having a lot of dough will hardly limitate anyone in their "routines". Quite the contrary.

<deleted>' !

TEN YEARS AFTER ?....i don't know, there must be an Alvin Lee fan in the ECSD

The cherry on the sh*t-cake

Agreed with the police focusing on real crime. Fail to understand why would the Vietnamese prostitutes be a huge asset though....

Has it become an English tradition to smuggle weed back from Thailand ? does it has something to do with tea-time ?

as mentioned in some comments. True, the immense majority of mule accounts are opened and used by Thai scammers (In the news. Not a week, or day, without some thai scam gang or other getting caught with mule accounts). Cheers

Correct.My last vaccine shots date back to the pandemic. i didn't have any since then but definitely will.

got it. Bangkok. bed ridden for 6 days, lungs feeling like 2 hot potatoes out of the burning ashes (temp up to 40.5 degrees at some point. that's really high). Slow recovery. No fun. Take care.

Well, Pattaya will probably change in a not so distant future i would say. It's done its time and it's getting worn out. And, as Bob once said, "the times they are changing". And they are. Take a city like Paris. It was once considered "the Brothel of the world". Prostitution was everywhere and a long-standing feature of Parisian life, with great visibility and integration into the leisure and tourism industries (of that time of course, between the 19th and first half of the 20th century). and then someone came, and ...(almost) gone...

Nice move, not easy to pull-off for anyone who has ever jumped in parachute. many accidents even in elite troops due to parachute malfunctioning.

Apparently he cannot afford flip flops either

Beneath the coconuts you'll get Coco's nuts

METH. 10O%.

I don't mind doggy style though..

Exactly.

An operation "grab the nut sack" could come in handy to clamp down on the overwhelming number of ladyboys there

Well. with the current visa scheme, an increasing number of broke-a*s tourists are coming in and do not hesitate to steal in xyz ways to make ends meet (stealing or breaking into weed shops also, pretty common move now..) and by literally mugging other tourists in the street (a daily occurrence in places like Patong and Pattaya). The whole thing is just effed up really.

Oh dear. What a disaster of a place (worn out zoo i shall say). Burn and rebuild.
