Everyman Posted May 16 Share Posted May 16 Why do Thai people in Pattaya scream orders at me to sit down when I go into a bar? Then if I don’t, then they want an explanation!!! What is wrong with them? Why are they so pushy and abusive? All they have to do is STFU and let me lean against the bar or a wall. 7 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bkk6060 Posted May 16 Share Posted May 16 It certainly isn't just bars. It seems it is a Thai thing in many interactions. I think they feel standing is a sign of being in a hurry or impatient. But, maybe not in a bar but other situations nothing wrong with continuing to stand no law against it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guderian Posted May 16 Share Posted May 16 Well be grateful, it's a heck of a lot better than going into a bar or restaurant and having them scream at you, "STANDUPSTANDUPSTANDUP!" lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

giddyup Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 Don't go to bars much these days, but when I did I used to hate being swarmed by 5 or 6 girls all asking me what I wanted to drink at the same time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I generally like to pay as I go, which they also hate. Along with never buying lady drinks. Coming think of it I am a nightmare customer from the perspective of a scammy bar that likes docile customers. I try not to be an <deleted> about it but the aggression level is high and everything is about them rather than you as a customer.

balo Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 First you must realize you're a walking ATM and then try to avoid Soi 7. Plenty of places you can enjoy if you look for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyman Posted May 20 Author Share Posted May 20 I am very surprised on this thread at the number of people that say they’ve never been screamed at. In Pattaya I am screamed at least 50 or 60 times per day, often by deranged people shouting across streets at me like broken robots impersonating humans. It’s so degrading to me and inhuman of them that i don’t understand how anyone can behave that way. Then if I go into a bar it’s the above problem. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How can you be getting screamed at 50-60 times a day from across the street? There's a Thai lady I walk by every day on beach road who is always loudly shouting at people no-one else can see...sound familiar 😉 Edited May 21 by Pattaya57 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
