Sorry, I've just found another thing that really grinds my gears...

 

^ Why do people that hate Pattaya so much always come into the Pattaya forum to post their hatred of Pattaya. If you hate it so much, why keep reading about it.

 

They should all be made to post where they live so that us Pattaya people can go on their forum page to express our thoughts on where they choose to live 😉

 

Mostly people view the "new posts" button so they never see which forum the posts are in.

Exactly - I don't check the forum.  Anyway - I don't HATE Pattaya.  I just have no urge to ever return.

Which is why I put Pattaya in the thread title so they know and he definitely knew it was Pattaya as his whole post was how much he hated Pattaya lol

 

If you put "Phuket" in it, I still wouldn't look at the forum, and I'd still make the same comments.  I don't HATE Phuket, well actually I do.  So I've no plans on heading back that direction in this lifetime.  I'd rather go to Pattaya.  :biggrin:

What really grind my gears is the cost of really appalling food. I'm talking about hotel restaurants, buffets and 'seafood' places where the fare is supposed to be top quality. I'm talking about 5-star hotels where you would expect to get a gourmet meal.

We went to one last new year and you could literally smell that the seafood was off. Another time was a Teppaniaki which was the worst and most expensive I've every experienced.

 

And then there are the restaurants which claim to be 'haute cuisine' - where they serve steaks boiled in grease, rank smelling oysters and corked wine that tastes like paint. Don't get me started on the 'Italian' joints with their sh!tty pizzas and sloppy, vomit inducing pasta.

Over the last 16 years, me and the missus have distilled our favorite restaurants down to 3, they're all Thai food and none of them are in Pattaya.

 

Anyway, rant over.

If you have facebook, you can have a look around for Pattaya food groups. You can find a lot of good stuff on there both quality wise and good value.

The other thing that is annoying/dangerous is Thai driving, slow at pulling away from junctions and slow/wrong lane when turning into a soi

There is a U-Turn near me that is pretty busy and I am often in a queue there to get onto the road. Many a time I see cars in front hang back, when I see an opportunity to move, then they will proceed just about when they likely scare the guys coming towards us. They seem to have delayed reactions like Corporal Jones in Dad's Army. (Apologies, ancient UK reference!).
