To start this with a reality check, Pattaya (metro area) is certainly NOT among the best cities for food in the world. It's not San Francisco. It's not Bangkok. It's not Paris, etc. Also what makes a great food city for you is subjective. Do you value mostly the local food or do you require a city that has strengths in many global cuisines? I think that just for travel, a city doesn't need to have global strengths if the local stuff is wonderful. Such as Oaxaca Mexico and countless other places. For me personally as a place to live having global food strengths is extremely important for my satisfaction. Of course in Pattaya which contrary to popular belief actually is located in Thailand. you can get great Thai food, especially central Thai style and Thai style seafood. But also over the years the international food offerings have grown to be much more in volume with continuing increases in quality. That doesn't mean that every particular restaurant is excellent, but that there are enough excellent restaurants to satisfy most everyone to a certain level anyway (thus the rating level poll). As far as international offerings, Pattaya doesn't have everything, but it does have a lot. So as far as the poll question, from your own subjective POV how well is Pattaya satisfying you. You might say a low 1, you might say the highest 10, but if 10 that wouldn't mean that you're saying Pattaya is at the level of Bangkok, but it would say that it offers enough to satisfy you personally to your personal max. Whatever your rating, feel welcome to post why you rated it as you did. What's great for you? What's crap? What's missing here for you that lowered your rating? Also yeah this is really about restaurants not grocery stores and food markets. Restaurants means from street food to shop houses to fancy schmancy joints. So if you don't eat out here (or get restaurant deliveries), this poll ain't for you.

I'm not the one posting Nazi type white nationalist links. You are.

OK. In any case such a big project would make Jomtien traffic like traffic in Pattaya and that's not good. But based on all the banana tax theories, perhaps we have nothing to worry about or hope for depending on your feeling. I'm sad about that green space being leveled for what might be nothing.

That makes sense about the election. The last I heard is that there are plans for the Monorail but not yet approved and that the initial plans do include a Jomtien station there. Yeah I understand the pessimism about the timeline as well. However, if there was a Monorail station that would be an argument for the profit of buiilding condos there for even more profit than a mall.

Yes traffic would be bad. I assume you mean Tappraya and Tepprasit. Maybe a Monorail would mitigate that somewhat though.

That's the kind of Jew hating garbage that motivated the killer at the biggest massacre of Jews in American history.

What a disgusting post. Not even worthy of a response.

Who gives a crap what you are? You are not the topic.

That is your moral judgement and I judge it wrong. But again stop trying to hijack this topic. We could go into detail about Bush Jr. or Obama or any other leader, but this is not the place for that.

As I expected, you don't follow news.

I don't know why anyone is evil. Ask God if you believe in God. That isn't the question here. The question here is that in your moral judgement when you consider the entire life and actions of Donald J. Trump in totality do you consider him evil or not?

I said recent. Not the presidential. Perhaps another case of someone that doesn't follow current events.

That's very simple minded. Some criticism of Israel and Zionism is very legitimate and some of it is indeed an expression of hatred of Jews. It's usually easy to tell the difference.

You are free to not read or post to it if that's how you feel. I think it's a legitimate question to ask and I'm not at all surprised that a strong majority of respondents agree with my moral judgement that Trump is an EVIL man.

If you want to discuss this moral question in relation to other U.S. presidents, or any other public figure -- OPEN A NEW TOPIC. This topic is only about Trump.

No surprise at all. Most everything he touches turns to chaos and the brown stuff.

Anyway, the topic HERE is whether people judge Trump to be evil or not. It's not really about future electoral politics.

I guess you haven't noticed the results in the most RECENT U.S. elections.

Luxury malls in Thailand and other Asian countries are about a lot more than retail shopping. Possibly because of the aircon they are more like malls used to be in the USA. A third place after work and home. Community gathering and socializing places. Places of entertainment and culture. Last but not least -- FOOD PARADISES. Jomtien people need to travel into Pattaya for that.

I think this can wait until my next appointment as I'm in the process of starting an implant. If my current dentist can't provide me with a very compelling reason why he recommends not treating the big cavity sooner than later, then of course I'll be forced to seek another opinion.

What ruins your narrative is much of the most compelling and effective criticism of Trump comes from people with a conservative republican background. I will refer you to the youtube channels The Bulwark and The Lincoln Project. It's not about left vs. right. It's about people that respect the constitution, the rule of law, separation of powers, etc. vs. the Trump led maga fascist movement.

Better for billionaires and some white nationalist fascists.

More straw man garbage.

No, but the best CON MAN in world history -- absolutely. But lately alas his magic con man fairy dust has started to weaken.

That's making a lot of assumptions about the future. That said, by judging Trump to be EVIL as indeed I do, as I've said before, that is not the same thing as saying that everything that he has ever done in his life and office is bad. Most of it -- absolutely. Also it's not only about bad policy. It's about the moral nature of both his personal character and most policies -- in my judgement -- EVIL.
