Places in the old section that I would never think of being famous, but the food is out of this world. I have had to wait on tables but never see that many in line! I will try and find the name of one of the old town restaurants there, and send you a private message. All these years in and out of this place and never been to Singapore. I am constantly on a diet when in Malaysia... haha Regards. I was in old Georgetown for those indian restaurants. Walked around the area but there were also empty indian restaurants. In India i ate in the taj mahall hotel 25 years ago (travelled 30 days in india). I had never seen something like that before. Our table had a personal waiter, all crystal glasses, real silver cutlery, huge buffet with dishes from all over the world cooked to perfection...unlimited food and water for 1000 baht a person...was great to eat between the moviestars and oilsheiks. I did get a triple darminfection though and my gf had lice. But there are so many different classes (castes) of Indians..much more than in Thailand and they don't mix with lower castes. I remember that if a high caste Indian walks on the street in the shade of a lower caste person the high one has to go to a resort in the mountain to clean himself of that...it's really extreme the difference between rich and poor in India. I wonder if the indians also behave like that in thailand or how they see the thai ({lower or higher). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also on pattaya beachroad i've never seen chinese/indian streetfood, also not in the bkk malls. Indian curry can be nice. or tandoori chicken...or naan with dippingsauce...or chapati..or bombay potatoballs... India has real chefs who know very well what they're doing...only the hygiene can be an issue. Because the Chinese are herded in buses to designated milking spots, they don't roam the streets freely. And others probably don't appreciate innards, gizzards and other full on Chinese Chinese delicacies. Indian food in Thailand seems overpriced taken into account most ingredients are similar to Thai food. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keira1 Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 So... indians are good in english, this I have to admit, much better than thais, you can communicate in a somehow old fashioned colonial english... They are more calm then thais....but they don't get a the meaning of a "NO". Beggars following you for 10 min., don't understanding that I WILL NOT give anything? Slimy guys who don't get the hint....? For that Thais are really good, they are good at getting the "hint". You don't need to say you don't want directly they will get it... Indians... ? Sometimes I feel they are from another planet, they just don't get it when you say you don't want... Things I don't like with indian men: gang rapes and the "touching" of women, trust me, this is not just something that happens sometimes... Indians men are sexually frustrated, they go to Goa and to try all kind of sh.t on westerners... at least in Thailand sex before marriage is not a huge issue, in India, there's so much frustrations and tensions... gay sex among "friends" is more common than you think, just because sex between man and woman is difficult and hard to get in India. Indians seem gentle, but I've seen indian on cocaine, and that was scary... There's a lot of pent up rage, frustrations among indian men.... And how they treat their women...? totally submissive and living a separate life... There's a huge heroin problem in India, but people don't know/talk about it. I've seen people with needles hanging from their arms in broad day light, Bombay, in front of every one to see. Been 6 times to India. Never again.

If "they have a negative image of Thai's", why do they vacation in Thailand? There are a thousand other places to vacation! Maybe they are a bit like some old farang grouches in Thailand...ranting against the country, the indians and others all day long, but still living there.

Most Indian restaurants in Pattaya have virtually no customers at any hour of the day or night except for a few Indians...Why about 80% of the Indian restaurants in Pattaya dont go out of business like yesterday is a mystery...Why more and more keep opening is a even more of a mystery..... Like others have said the Indian food in Pattaya is also expensive...The Indian food in Pattaya must seem crazy expensive to Indian Nationals who probably pay 50-75% less for the same food in India....

Self sufficient, super power, IT geniuses, crammed into a small space, excellent philosophy and gave the world major religions , Buddhism being one, I think “ farangs” who bicker , are worried about being shown up. My last few visits to 5 star hotels revealed more Indians than farangs , mostly found in cheap guest houses. Having lived and worked in a India for a few years for one of the largest oil companies there i can honestly say i'm amazed they havn't blown the place up yet........ All with three degrees from Bombay university and mostly with the common sense of a lemming......... but not all i might add...... As for hotels, i'd rather save my money for real pleasure as against the fleeting nonsense of staying in an overpriced bedroom,.......but the again if you've spent a large proportion of your life in exreme poverty a few nights in a good hotel must be the closest thing to heaven......

They now have a worse reputation than American and British tourists No they don't. It's kinda amazing isn't it? According to expats thee Chinese were the worst but now it's the Indians.

Odysseus123 Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 32 minutes ago, Spidey said: So much wrong with this I don't know where to start. Negative comments come from personal experience, not ignorance, your post comes from ignorance of the facts. Millions of Indians in UK, most haven't risen above, just bump along the bottom running their corner shops and any other work that doesn't require a degree of physical effort. Singapore is a prime example, the place is run by indigenous Chinese, not Indians. The Indians sit in their little booths, hopelessly twiddling with someone's broken laptop. "Smart Chinese and smart Indians." Really? https://www.worlddata.info/iq-by-country.php Singapore No:1 Average IQ 108. Chinese 6th IQ 104 UK 16th, IQ 100 India 83rd IQ 81. Interestingly, Thailand 54th IQ 89, which is definitely backed up by my personal experience i.e. Thais not the brightest pennies in the bucket but definitely brighter than your average Indian. Most negative comments ARE based on ignorance,fear and political motives. The Indian middle class would,in intellectual terms,eat the Thai for breakfast. As in,indeed,would anyone who did not live in a self protected bubble. As would the Indian Army versus it's pre 1964 (and it's always pre 1964) Thai counterparts The difference between the two countries is quite profound.
