Saw six in a Go-Go bar wanting to share three bottles of water and grabbing any passing female.  Mama san insisted on a drink each so three sat outside smoking then they all changed positions half way through the bottle.

Flew to and from India a fair few times. My experience: great pricing (2500thb for a 3 hour flight), service more than acceptable and departure times vary. It gets a two thumbs fresh from me.

If you book the tickets in advance, say a month before that is all it costs

But the girls give them and Arabs big discounts and charge Farang twice the price.  The future of Pattaya is Indian and Arab. Good luck to them.

pattaya's doom is not the tourists fault, it is the 90% thais fault...to all that think the morning chaos is caused by the tourists ''Wrong'',i walk this beach each morning,all the noise and screaming and chaos is caused by the buses ,the  street thais (who just need to be loud) and the poorly organized effort to get the tourists on the boats..yes the Chinese are loud and the Indians are thrifty..but they just follow the flag..so.. don't blame them for pattaya's demise....Blame greedy pattaya...

[wakeupplease]

Ho Ho now that is great news for now, as while they are there, they are not here. TAT wants to try Pakistan also

Thanks for the correction. I forgot you booked my ticket to India for me.

So if Thailand had 1.4 million Indian tourists coming what is #5 in the list.

Then #4 in the list, Laos must have had more than the 1.4 million, meaning that at least 25% of the population of Laos visited Thailand as a tourist... Does TAT now also count the legal immigrant workers from Laos as tourists or is 25% of the Laos population so <deleted>##ing rich that they go to Thailand on holiday???

What's wrong in this picture ???

I was getting an oily massage at lunchtime off soi 11 with much complaining about indian tourists "ask outside how much for extra very loud no good!".

Whereas she was very complimentary towards me for asking inside the premises.
