Best age to be in Pattaya is early 40s. It's old enough to be considered a player, yet decades younger than the other punters. This only applies if you live there though. If you're just another tourist, you're just another tourist
In India they have no problem wasting half a day to redirect you into a scam which they will profit next to nothing. Baldfaced lie to you as well even if caught or challenged.
The educated classes are perfectly ok. They get somewhat bad rap for being cheap. Most of them that end up in Thai fleshpots are brokies, young.
Yeah, they're not going to stand entirely in your way
I just have visceral reaction from having spent so much time in India + having those junk watches shoved in my face for years + seeing the loan sharking+ knowing almost all on overstay
Sweet. You don't worry about injuring yourself especially out riding alone? Are you young enough for insurance? Uncertain if it would even cover injury.
Beautiful landscape. I often forget how pretty it can be up North.
Was back in States 1+ year ago flying thru CLT. The people mover was broken going in and broken a week later flying back thru. Yeah, it's domestic airport but still tonna people thru there. States is so broken
We were just flying thru from BKK via LAX. Not been back in years. Saw a young woke woman have a total mental breakdown while on her phone. Kinda looked like the particular type of person that would have one especially in public. Nevertheless, I felt a little bit sorry for her. Tough times.
Never get rid of them. They'll hound you like wolves.
They don't bother me in cowboy anymore, but cowboy so boring I stopped going there 🤷♂️
They have loansharking in cowboy. Probably Sukhumvit as well.
I even see them up by me. Gotta be loansharking
This is funny, but I'm guessing it didn't happen.
It's kinda rare a rental will give you more than a quick eye, rarely a smile precisely for this reason. If she's caught out the punter isn't gonna be happy and that might result in the end of the torrid $love$ affair then and there.
My experience in bars on lower Sukhumvit is they wait till he's gone off to the head to get flirty. Dunno about Pattaya not lived there 20 years. Imagine nothing changed in that respect
Bicycles deadly. Motorcycles as well. Just no respect in Thailand.
Funny, everyone sitting around on their phones forever like a bunch of zombies. Put them behind a wheel and they can't get to their destination fast enough.
I've been hit twice by scooters in BKK. Nothing serious, but a total lack of respect.
It's all good till you get hit and you're in hospital AND they do a runner 👍👍
You can buy plastic screening easy enough. Just tape it outside the windows. Assume you're not going to be there forever. Custom sliding screen about b1500 Bangkok
From my experience catching lizards in California as a kid...
Come up on the backside out of its sight slowly and then GRAB IT!!
If you don't get it out it will die bc there's no food for it. A few weeks back I found a tiny malnourished gecko in the condo. Easy catch
