Pattaya's Dark Side: What You Won't Find in the Travel Brochures

[Jack Hammer]

I am old and ugly, and I married an attractive Thai lady.  She was a nymphomaniac . Everything went great for the first 10 months then there was no nymph and I was just left with a maniac.

Usa has so many single beautiful women just waiting for the right man , you have to try harder, go out to bar's,  loiter at hardware stores, I know there is a stack of them that want to go on a singles cruise and are willing to pay their own way, beats flying to patts.

No 20-something American woman is going to be interested in a 50-60 yo male, unless extremely wealthy. IMO you are thinking of both genders being in a similar age bracket.

 

OTOH, come to Thailand and age is irrelevant. My Thai GF is 23 years younger than me.

Seems like a no brainer to me.

 

My GF is 33 years younger than me, and the spare is 30 years younger.

 

The wife is only 19 years younger 🙂

 

 

I wouldn't be doing that in America.

In a bar. What attracted me to her was the fact she was very shy. And very cute.

 

About 14 years together now. There are some good stories as well as the horror ones.

While I admire your stamina, physically and financially, one is enough for me.

 

Do they know about each other?

....I thought there was no sex industry or prostitution in Pattaya??

 

That's always been the official line, hasn't it?

Or is someone telling porky pies?

Congrats you have eliminated any doubt about your intellect

I am no sexual athlete........... once a week is usually sufficient. 

 

Yes, but it is not discussed very often and I would never cause the 'missus' to lose face. The circumstances are a little unusual in that we currently spend more time apart than together.

I bow to your greater knowledge...................I have little knowledge of such matters and just get on with my daily life.

It seems you don't know the difference between East and West...

Nice cheery article to get us in the Christmas spirit.

Hell of a yoga class you got there, Mrs Somchai. 😳

This is not news and there is nothing that we haven't seen before. Why even post this in a forum for expats in Thailand? Stupid.

If you mean The Darkside, that would be to the East.

Who are you trying to fool?

Are you serious?

I haven't seen any during my 6 yr visits,staying 4-5 month per visit.

I feel safe in any place! I go where I want to but I don't do bars or massage/ whoring or late night roaming around drunks and druggies. I think it's up to you.

Compared to ANY city in the US Thailand cities are safer.

Depends if you are wrong place wrong time but yes you are minimised your risk by not going out late at night.

And by that I mean farangs who are drunk ,you accidentally bump into them , you look at them the wrong way etc 

So I'm walking down walking street you bump into me, it starts so easy 

 

The worse offenders are East Europeans males when they are drunk

Yes dangers can be avoided by avoiding some areas, although I would not use the USA as a yardstick....

I agree it is minimal here, and I have not had serious issue in many years, and i do go to some of those areas......but I have certainly seen it kick off or have the potential to.

Well I'm in such adamant disagreement with you and I know dozens and dozens of single men who are successful and have game and have a ridiculously hard time with American women. They seem to be some of the least adventurous people on the planet when it comes to romance these days. Plus, in the big cities the fear factor is very high. I think it has  been difficult for many years but I think covid made it much harder. Granted, if you're in a small town your chances are better, in a big city it's barely worth even making an effort.

Pattaya, the king of Bungie jumping without a cord, committing suicide with your hands tied behind your back, your spot on, it amazes me how people can't see the dark side, soon it will be famous as the most dangerous criminal tourist attraction in Thailand, I think it allready is. Junkie paradise,hide out for Russian draft dodgers and mad mafia, and Nato and all it's crazy admin are busy fueling the fire.

That's a fairly peculiar reply, does that imply the you're obsessed with ladyboys? I know that my friend certainly isn't. Most of us don't care for them one Iota.

I have been in Pattaya many times in the last 20 years, admittedly not in the early hours and only in the bars an occasional time like going up on stage with the band to play bass guitar and sing. I have been through all the red light areas, spoke to many farangs and even the ladies of ill repute. I have never had any problems with anyone, came anywhere near fights or even been threatened with any violence. But then I don't drink.

I could never say that about Glasgow or any other city in the UK.
