I’ve noticed some old-timers can be pretty cliquey or critical, especially if they’ve been there a while.

With good reason

So, you could see the person behind the wheel of the Hilux?    Wow

I've been noticing an increase in poor behaviour on our roads by foreigners. 

 

Most times these aggressive, abusive, <deleted> have their window wound down, arm hanging out. 

 

 

 

You might be right, but I'd not know. I keep away from Patts and all the dregs that live there.

I have studied & analysed that the expats living particularly in Pattaya Jomtien don't like each other 

 

I'm not talking about the two week tourists in Soi Bukhao who are mostly very friendly bunch I'm talking about the old expat living in Pattaya particularly Jomtien 

 

I was in this Friendship supermarket today when I overheard a big old European guy in his accent I think German,say "oh the smell is overpowering," I heard this from another aisle and then he said it again "oh the smell " 

I went to investigate to see a big fat European guy with I presume his Thai wife metres away from a elderly disheveled old farang wearing what looked like old clothes with a t shirt and long shorts which were ripped 

 

You all must be nice to each other in Pattaya,I'm not talking about the 2 week tourist I'm talking about the old expats who seem to either hate the 2 week tourist or are jealous of each other 

I saw a two young farangs trying to cross the road in Pattaya  using a crossing ,a Hilux comes past doesn't stop blast his horn , I knew 100% it would be a farang behind the wheel and I was right 

I'm not sure if it's like this in other parts of Thailand but you must love each other if your living here in Jomtien,have a community spirit 

 

Think it about time you start minding your own business.

I find the North the most friendly. I would also say the same in my own country

Some people don't like Northerners 

I noticed that also. I think a lot of it is people getting old. When you get old you have many reasons to complain. Health issues & failed expectations being the real winners. Then you add on the annoyances of living in a foreign country and you get guys that come across as irritated. Those guys like to pound out their frustrations.

 

I wonder if that guy in the wheelchair is still living at VT 2A?

There are many wheelchairs at the VT apartments 

I was outside a bar last night in Jomtien 

They had wheelchair parking I kid you not 

This is the bar on the main road that plays the live band 

What I did was walk over towards the parked MOTORISED wheelchairs / scooters so the old owners could see me and stare at them pretending I was going to jump on them and drive off
