Damn busses

[PoorSucker]

Stay in the big roads.

Don't come into the little sois where there's no room for you.

I understand that it's vital for the Chinese to be shipped around but please stay on the main street.

Yes, it's getting bad again. 

 

I remember before covid, when New Nordic had the rental guarantee, they had a connection with Chinese tour companies, Pratamnak was at a standstill.

The Chinese need to be bused every where....They do every thing in a group....So lots of buses are needed day and night...

How else would they get to see all the high quality cadmium.

They also seem skittish about walking around.

 

The bus stops directly in front of the venue so they don't need to walk out in public much. Then, it picks up in the same spot. If they need to cross the street they have the lady with the stick and stuffed animal assisting with the crossing.

 

I think they are afraid of being out in public around foreigners. Afraid of being seperated from the group in a foreign country.

Your name says it all.

I don't mind the buses as long as they don't open the doors and the "people" that chooses to sit for a 7 days in a bus as their holiday don't start strolling around me.

They are using the railway line bypass more since Sukhumvit is all dug up. They have also resumed bringing coachloads to the Wat in my  village. Moved out here to get away from them!

Some of those Chinese chicks are sexy. 

 

Go down walking street one evening, grab a beer from 7eleven and keep an eye out for the person carrying a flag.

Lots of pretties tagging along behind.

Have you ever seen Thais walking a longer distance? Say more than 100m? So do the Chinese. And also don't forget: Aircon inside the bus👍

Then you could possibly spot one or two of them take a leak or a dump  on the footpath.Maybe even shove their way in front of you buying that beer. Skanks, your taste is up <deleted> creek.

I haven't seen any of that.

I think your making things up to antagonize people. 

 

Anyway, enjoy your miserable day.

The City of Pattaya needs to make some bus parking lots, and then ban overnight bus parking on city streets.

I have taken many Chinese tours, both in China and in other countries. You are describing standard tour bus practice. The tour members are not afraid of being separated from the main group.

Standard practice for any tour, pretty much for anyone.

[geisha]

The buses keeping their engines running for 2 hours while the tourists go shopping/ food. Alongside the night market on Jomtien beach road it’s pure hell, stinks the whole area out. They should be heavily fined for pollution. Wishful thinking.

[Pattaya57]

Whiners everywhere it seems 😉

 

I don't mind sitting in a beach road or 2nd road bar checking out if any hot Chinese girls are staring out from the buses going by 😉

Never had a Chinese shove  past at the checkout.lol.

You must not be in Thailandthen, always did wonder about your credibility, comments on every thread, always way off in reality!

Great saying that, nought to do with squatting in a public place, even temples are ideal as the WC.

[Danderman123]

I am hoping that with May Day behind us, the number of Chinese tour buses will decline.

[Danderman123]

Still way too many buses.

The traffic seems to be getting worse lately. I dread that section of 3rd road just past the fly over. It's like a bus parking lot now.

Then there is the ridiculous endless roadworks. And many new developments underway. Who are going to be coming back after putting up with it. I suppose the Thais are going to fill up all this development - they seem ok with spending 1/2 a day in the car

When I lived on Samui for 15 years, the old mayors brother had the contract to fix the roads, never got good.

New mayor ordered roads pawed instead of concrete, old mayors family was pissed off.

Sorry does 'pawed' mean paved, or something else.
