The bad ones are a minority, Im sure there are a minority of bad ones in every city in the world. I don't think Pattaya's any worse than anywhere else.

Beer belly, bald head, tattoos, pigeon english, £5.00 trainers - thats me does that make me some how a "worst" or "bad" one?

Did anyone actually move to Pattaya for any other reason than cheap beer, women and all the other taboos that bring in the lowest of the low? Perhaps the op was unaware of what Pattaya was all about when he moved here!

I did not move here for the cheap beer (I don't drink), women (I have a partner) and all the other taboos that you mention. But I was aware of Pattaya's reputation and I am comfortable with it provided that one canstill escape the "seedy" side, which we still can for now. The authorities have stated they want to "re-balance" Pattaya, and I am all for that. Whether it suceeds is another matter.

Believe it or not, there is quite a significant number who moved here for work (usually at nearby industrial estates or Laem Chabang) or liked the location since it is close to a major city (BKK), beaches and a well connnected airport. A place that affords a lifestyle somewhere between big city and laid-back resort. I like it here and I totally reject the notion that Pattaya is all about sin and nothing else, so forget any efforts to make it more livable, forget cleaning up beaches and just leave the city alone for bars, beer, working gals and their patrons. Sorry guys, you gotta share with us boring people.

I think your quite correct, and agree with what you've said, perhaps I should of worded previous comment differantly. I think my intended point was that were all aware of Pattaya and its reputation, it didn't put us off coming did it? I for one would not want to see Pattaya change.

Im amazed that certain people continue to go to the same filling station even though they get ripped off. They must get some sort of buzz out of it.

I think the reason is simple :

I don't see any other station in South Pattaya area...

Do you actualy look? There's a handful of filling stations around!

mai pen rai

Anyhow, I have never checked to see if the meter was reset when filling up, but I certainly will do in future. Thanks for the heads up.

The burglar will think twice or is that 3 times before breaking in to anyone elses property. Give the shop keeper a medal. Here in the lovely UK if a burglar broke into my home and accidentally tripped on the carpet whilst leaving with my tv, I would be sued for damages!

Families! shame you can't choose them

Wow, I just read 63 posts about 5 baht! I need a lie down before finding a new forum to use, the exciting topics just blows me away.

Hi everyone, just a quick one. The wifes looking to have some cosmetic surgery done when we come back to Pattaya in December. We're looking at Sri Ratcha and Bangkok Pattaya.

Has anyone got any experience of either of these places for cosmetic work? or could anyone recommend any other places they have used?

The wife wants a Breast enlargement.

Thanks in advance

I wish the coppers over here in the uk to an extent were abit like the BIB. Caught speeding 3 points on your license ( 5 years increased insurance premiums) and a £60 fine. I'd rather give the copper £30 and have been done with it!

Someone posted about being pulled over and "fined" for not wearing a helmat. There's a simple answer to that, wear your helmat and you wont be pulled over and fined.

Got a feeling it'll take more than 3 days to get this thing sorted. Sounds promising though.

Gutted to hear its closed. It was a great place. I used to go there regular when I wanted something a little differant to the other discos. Shame

What a result saves the cost of putting him in prison. If only all drug dealers met this fate

I wouldn't say it was the capital, in fact I'd say pattaya was quite safe, every city has its problems pattaya isn't an exception but I think there are far worse places to visit

Anyone know what the nine other areas are

Larn is a nice day out, you can also get a speed boat to the island if you don't fancy the ferry, last time I paid 1500 baht the boat waited till we were ready to return, I think the beach at the back of the island is better especially if you go early you get the beach to yourself for a couple of hours before the rest of the tourists arrive. Well worth the trip

Hatred, I haven't seen it first hand but am aware it exists. Sorry about the double post

I've heard a few times people mention thai males hating farang. Where

do you guys think this stems from and why the so called

Sounds like a normal day here in sunny Nottingham England!

Whats the likely punishment to be dished out to these idiots? Does the death penalty apply here? hope so

Sure I agree, the parents shouldn't be leaving the child with a 10 year old, but I wouldnt say the parents are partly to blame.

The sick bastard that did it is to blame. I hope he get dealt with in prison by the prisoners.

Its a sick world we live in, that poor kids life is ruined.

We've used the hospital a few times for emergancy treatment my father picked up dengue fever and the kids have been there on numerous occasions for various cuts, knocks and sunburn. Every time we've been we were highly impressed with the care we received and the price was always reasonable. I would happily recommend the hospital. The wifes going in next year for a boob job

I like sri ratcha and plan to explore there a lot more when I'm back in los. We have a place 5 mins drive from leam chabang so its easier to get to sri ratcha than patts.

The market is excelant and I found the prices to be a lot cheaper than pattaya, I would welcome any advice or suggestions on places to visit in sri ratcha.

Hope they catch the sick bastards that did it. With the amount of sex on offer in pattaya I'm suprised rape goes on. I hope the girls recovers from her ordeal.

Strange. I'm sat here in my office on my own in the uk wishing I was where you are. I'd happily swap places with you.
