Ah Pattaya, where self appointed experts go to continue their grand delusion.

Yes I've definitely noticed it, in fact i avoid eye contact as that's an invite for them to talk garbage, the classic is when they ask how long have you been here, they are desperately waiting to score points here, one crazy swede said 1978 arrived

You must be glad to have that off your chest. 

 

Yea, it's been eating at me for years!!

 

Pattaya: A narcissists paradise! I've finally found a place where they recognize just how important I am! These girls really get me!

What do you do if you run into an actual expert in their field?

 

Do you dismiss them immediately?

 

How would you know the difference

 

Rarely happens and I'd like to think I'm not easily fooled. Anyways with AI and Google search at your fingertips fact checking is a snap!

  Luckily, I have better things to do with my time, and more enjoyable for me, than hanging out in beer bars--in Pattaya or anywhere else.

Ask for a certificate? Mind you in Pattaya can get copies!

I have never run into a "self appointed expert" in East Pattaya.

Maybe your holiday plans need to change from central Pattaya.🙃🙃

You make it sound like Beverley Hills dear.

Are you saying you get a better class of farang on The Darkside or is it where the ‘normal’ farang migrate to ? 


Same same but different I would say.

Lots of expats some on this forum have been living in Thailand,  myself included long before 1978.

That's because most of them are on Soi 6.

Obviously no experts on the dark side.

Any one who does visit beer bars has no doubt had someone sit beside him that after less than five minutes you are ready to slice your wrist to get away from him...either incredibly stupid, ignorant, arrogant, or maybe all of the above or in some cases you actually do run into a few guys who are very pleasant to sit and talk with and can even learn a few new things or at least share some stories.

 

The trick is to learn to get up and leave asap when u get the idiot types that sit next to you. Generally they will not get any more pleasant after having a few more beers.  I can chug a beer very quickly when i suddenly remember that  i have to be somewhere.  

 

Every ass sitting on every bar stool likely has a lot of stories...it is not required that you listen to them.

 

But there are some gems scattered through all the gravel that indeed are very interesting guys to have a chat with for an hour or two.

As long as they're buying the drinks and 'company', I have no problems sitting with them.

Speak out dude, "if I listen to your bs, you need to buy my drinks". Just the same as buying lady drinks, so maybe they should buy my drinks at double price and I get a cut?
