lanista Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 The one thing Pattaya-jomtein has in its favour is the fact that millions of Russians and Chinese have never seen a beach before and have nothing to compare Thailand with.The FILE photo of the beach looks awful. The sand (dirt ) looks putrid. Maybe its just the light but many Thai beaches do look like that. The Russians and Chinese should go to Australia to see real surf beaches but of course its too expensive. You get what you pay for. What on earth has Miami or even Surfers Paradise got to do with this sewer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of our venerabloe members so plagued moved back to the UK and is so happy there now. Sound good? And you need to read through the Thai news and find out what's going on in other cities. You don't really know. Quote Regarding the sand and all the beautiful dreams for this unique, one of a kind, world class oasis of a five star family resort. i guess that was just a dream, just a dream..... Your dream of dream, actually. And people may dream whatever they wish. So? It is unique and one of a kind, however. That's one reason I live here.

Pattaya -- not so much. http://www.miamiandbeaches.com/things-to-do/arts-and-culture Temples, water parks, islands, water sports, restaurants...I'd choose Pattaya over Miami. Of course, here are some recent reviews of 'sophisticated' Miami Beach (less than 3 weeks old) and a bit more accurate than a promotion website, I assume. When a UK resident calls a place 'depressing' it warrants attention! Edited March 23, 2018 by HLover Added content 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jingthing Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 (edited) Dude, I was talking about things like real art galleries, live theater, live music with international stars, that sort of thing that Pattaya basically has nothing of. Also there is a lot more to Miami than South Beach. Personally I prefer Ft. Lauderdale though if I could afford either one.

With that will bring problems it's common sense and something many of the bashers here seem to lack. It appears that the venom spouted from those that don't live here are sad lonely folk that either lives in the boonies and going stir crazy wondering what they have done with their miserable life or low qualified teachers in Bangkok that have amounted to the same daily wage as the roughest coconut lady on Beach Road. No wonder the Pattaya forum is a place these lunatics like to vent their anger when in the back of their worn out mind they can only dream of living in such a colorful, vibrant and exciting city such as Pattaya.
