[JimmyTheMook]

From a fun town of hardcore mongers

 

to

 

Chinese and Indian Group Tourists

You forgot to mention the Arabs also.

Not being anti anyone, just saying.

It is what it is, but this is just the beginning you will see an influx of many many more.

So, I guess either deal with it or try another place.

I am staying still like the place, but carefully pick spots where I go and hang out. ( I never go to WS anymore)

Thankfully I mostly hang out in the house with my family and carefully chose whom we invite to the barbecue party's we sometimes have.

Pattaya changed for the worse, when the 'hardcore mongers' started arriving.

Before then, it was a fun town with civilised expats and tourists.

Ten years ago people were complaining about the Russians.

My first trip to pattaya as a 45yo I was the the youngest guy in the go go ,the influx of younger mongers and the dodgy money is the biggest change in the bar gogo scene.The world is on the move and pattaya has moved with it visitors come in numbers from all over the planet,the Russians followed by the Chinese then Arabs and Indians,if Indonesia and Cambodia, Myanmar,Vietnam get a middle class expect even more visitors,enjoy it while you can you are a long time dead.

It is all about the money. More people coming to spend it on a wide range of "interests". Pattaya is more and more all things to all people. You can still be a monger if you want, but now you share the city with tourists on family holidays.

I agree with that, but I have to go with a friend who loves WS, but hes half blind and disabled,

but still able to grope things, while I watch the football.

You are right but during that time several lower end economic countries have created a middle class who can afford to come here.

Just the beginning as evidenced by the low number of people in these countries who currently have passports which is going to increase greatly in the future.

Pattaya is finished for the sexpat. When it costs $1-200 for a girl in a third world country no one is going to be bothered to fly 10,000 kms.

Well, I do not because I live here and know better.

But, what you mention is still a bargain in many places in the world so it is stopping noone from coming...

Yes, competition is the capitalist way to moderate prices and increase choice.

Might be interesting if folks used term "monger" correctly. It pays to increase your word power, as Readers Digest used to print: " A monger is a seller, especially of something specific like a fish monger or an iron monger. You can use the noun monger as a word on its own, although it frequently shows up as a suffix, in words like cheesemonger. Monger can also be used as a verb meaning "to sell or peddle.""

Unless you are a pimp, you're the customer, the John, the target, walking ATM... sure there are other terms..

You obviously are very naive and know nothing about the history of that word which definition is generally known worldwide.  Slang, misinterpreted or not....

Buy an Essex girl a bag of chips and you're in like a ferret up a drainpipe.
