There is more than 5 million non Thai citizens living in Thailand, 5% is too generous.

Am thinking more around the 0.0001% mark.

You must like to have a lot of conversations about how much you love som tam.

 

In Nimman, the westerners tend to be older backpackers pretending to be digital nomads. If I were their age, I'd be doing the exact same thing.

 

Japanese instagrammers are ten a penny here. I don't interact, but get a buzz off of their bliss. You seldom see an unhappy face in Nimman.

You can filter that down by adding the number that speak the same language as you.

I usually don't talk to young generation, for fear of misgendering them or have an argument about woke topics dear to them.

They seem to be hypersensitive about some topics, so generally I avoid to talk with them as a precautionary measure. 

I must say that I am sorry, but I do not want a conflict.

I keep hearing that, but in a year here, it seems they pack in during the tourist season, but are otherwise very light.

 

My building is about 80% Japanese Air BNB. Most of the businesses near me are for Japanese people; I have 2 macha tea parlors within 5 minutes walk. We seldom see a non-Jap in our fave sushi, Umai Sushi, or at the American Diner-themed Rock Me Burger next door. J-people love a fake American Diner.

 

That said, most of the good Chinese Restaurants in Chiang Mai are in Nimman, but I don't see many Chinese people eating in them. On the weekends, Nimman packs out with Thai people.

 

White Person Nimman is pretty small, because it's relatively expensive. And they're more in the swimming pool condo's on the Maya Mall side of the road than on our Nimman1 side of the road, which is the low -traffic maze of restaurants and street food and old growth big trees that make it feel bit Pai-ish. 

 

White Person Nimman is about having your pick of gyms, smoking local-price pot, and eating out a lot. Can't fault it. Or my brethren on that plan.

 

Any tourist I meet is blind with envy and wants to know rental prices. 98% of the white people I see are here for less than 3 days. They're usually 2nd timers to CM who want something diff from The Old City.

not only that, but talking down to all forum members should be against forum rules.

Hard to talk up to abusive people. Why post if no interest in topic?

Dude, you have made it very clear that you think Farangs in Pattaya are scum. I live in Pattaya, and even though I've been to most of Thailand, I fell in love with Pattaya more than 30 years ago and it's still my favorite city in the world, but you have already labeled me. So why would I ever want to talk to someone who is so closed minded. 

 

But go ahead and keep calling people who disagree with you names, it just shows your own immaturity.
