Popular Post NONG CHOK Posted August 26, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted August 26, 2023 Hi there, As the title suggests Indians in Pattaya amaze me. Around 11.30 am I went to the Bodega Bar on the corner of Pattaya Klang and Soi Post Office. After a long walk and shopping at Villa Mart I decided to relax there. After about 30m minutes in walks these 3 big Indians. They studied the drink menu for at least 5 minutes. Then they bought one Heineken and shared it. Then one lit up a smoke and they shared that. They all wanted to know the Bodega Bars free WIFI. When that settled down they wanted to play pool. When they were told they needed to pay 20 baht per game, their very dark black complexion nearly turned green. What TAT sees in these types of tourists amazes me. I'm not a tourist I'm a condo owner and I've lived in Pattaya for the past 20 years. 8 8 10 1 2 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post jacko45k Posted August 26, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted August 26, 2023 (edited) Second Rd, not Pattaya Klang. (Sure you have been in Pattaya 20 years?) To stay on topic, Indian tourists I find to be funny. Edited August 26, 2023 by jacko45k 3 1 3 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indian businesses aplenty in Sth Pattaya, they seem succesfull to me: maybe patronised by western resident expats who own condos.! 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post GypsyT Posted August 26, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted August 26, 2023 They have the biggest clothing industry but they all have the same style and color pants, jackets, skirts and ties. Why? Just asking, not bashing anyone. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post champers Posted August 26, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted August 26, 2023 From a different perspective: you will find many Indian families and couples at all the top rated hotels. Money no object for them. The ones the OP saw are here as part of the MICE programme, specifically the I = Incentive for successful sales teams. They also get a paid for soapy masssge as part of their reward. 2 2 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They pay their airfare and accommodation. Low budget tourists are all over the planet. Should Thailand kick them out as they aren't spending enough? There are plenty of rich Indians too, but they probably don't come to Pattaya. If you've been in Pattaya for 20 years you'd know that Pattaya is generally a low budget tourist location that offers very good value for money. Maybe you need to sell your condo and move to a more upscale location where low budget tourists won't trouble you. 5 1 3 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Sandboxer Posted August 26, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted August 26, 2023 As long as they finally start wearing deodorant and don't smell like a woodpile of anal glands I don't really care. Hell, I totally approve of their cheapness. Anyone who minimizes the greedy bar owners' profits is ok in my book. 1 1 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Ohyesuare Posted August 26, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted August 26, 2023 I don't see any bar in Pattaya letting 3 people share one Heineken. Story so stereotypical, sounds fake. And I say that not being a fan at all of the majority of Indian tourists I've ran into.

Joe Farang Posted August 26, 2023 Share Posted August 26, 2023 I must have played 1,000's of games of Pool in Pattaya bars over the years. I have never ever paid for the privelege. I would never return to a bar if they attempted to charge me for pool. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Often enough no manners. 5 star hotel in Chiang Mai ceters to 4 / 5 day Indian weddings, lots of wealth indian guests/families stay same hotel. Hotel staff treated like shxx, many instances of no manners / baic politeness from rich Indian women dripping in expensive jewelry, several cases of indian women slapping faces of Thai room maids. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess this is a real cultural issue. They still have this caste system, and a servant is a servant and of lower "value". You will even encounter this behaviour in Thailand where maids, servants etc. are at times treated inadequately. Have witnessed this many times.

NoshowJones Posted August 26, 2023 Share Posted August 26, 2023 In the guesthouse I have stayed in Pattaya for years when I go there had 6 Indians want to rent one room, the farang owner hunted them. I know the owner very well and he is not a liar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post observer90210 Posted August 26, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted August 26, 2023 Looks like an old stale trolling and bashing topic has again been dug out on the drink sharing !! But let's not forget that at the end of the day for the Thai's should it be a falang, a foreigner or whatever....most are plainly considered as non Thai and somewhat tolerated guests in the country. Consequently it is always "interesting" to read some of us westeners...foreigners in Thailand, considering themselves above the other visitors. 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
