Kerryd Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 I reckon Pattaya could be twinned with Deadwood, can you think of somewhere better Sheesh, you're not taking your loss at the Miss Tiffany's contest very well, are you ? Cheer up, there's always next year ! I think Pattaya is better twinned to a place like Las Vegas (without the gambling). Or New Orleans (without the very high murder rate). Or Amsterdam (without the very visible drug problems). Or Shangri La (without the travel difficulties). Or Sodom and Gomorrah (without the biblical destruction, yet) Maybe even the Bermuda Triangle ! Lots of lost souls, lots of people that mysteriously lose track of time (and money), strange going-ons at all hours of the day and night. I wonder. Is Pattaya on the opposite side of the earth from the Bermuda Triangle ? Could that explain the strange phenomenons that happen in Pattaya ? Or is it just the booze ?

bangkapiboy Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 I brainstorm about it, but I can't think of a twin for Pattaya. It really is so unique. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peterpan Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 I brainstorm about it, but I can't think of a twin for Pattaya. It really is so unique. Disney World, with all the best rides in the biggest theme park in the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timekeeper Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 its very similar to Blackpool. Naklua is north shore. Pattaya south is south shore with a different kind of Pleasure Beach Jomtien is the posh end, St Annes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rimmer Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 After careful thought I would nominate two likely candidates Angeles City Philippines OR Ngoya In Bataam Indonesia But at the end of the day according to legend THERE CAN ONLY BE ONE Isn't that right Mr. Kurgen?

Briggsy Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 I'm afraid I don't know the names but there are towns in Mexico sitting on the American border which fulfil the same function as Pattaya and rather fittingly have high murder rates and are awash with guns. They could share the secrets of their respective successes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bino Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 (edited) Atlantic City, New Jersey. Actually there are lots of parallels. Aside from the legal casinos which Pattaya doesn't have (yet, anyway), lots of illegal / underground gambling in Pattaya. All of the "vice" elements that seem to follow the casinos are there; prostitution, drugs, alcohol, et al. Pattaya may be cheaper, more fun and "on display" than Atlantic City, but it can be had just the same. The beach is filthy, the water stinking and dangerously polluted. (Hypodermic syringes washing up on the shore.) The walking area on the beach side of Beach Road = Boardwalk. And in the wee hours, you find the same kind of strange creepy people on the Boardwalk as on Beach Road. Not a safe place to be. I'm too lazy to do the research, but I'd guesstimate that they are actually quite close in population size. Edit - thought of something else.... the proximity to "megalopolis-es"... Bangkok and NYC.

Ground Engineer Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 Pattaya has similarities with Liverpool in the sense they are both coastal city's and both magnates for criticism by the media. However Liverpool must be categorised as Pattaya’s alter ego. Liverpool is cold, miserable, windy, rainy, aggressive and expensive. The bars in Liverpool are full of moody, poorly educated druggy scallies. The locals hate the royal family. Shops and banks close at 5:30pm during the week (and all day on Sundays), which makes the place feel like a ghost town. After dark the streets and parks are empty apart from teenage gangs searching for entertainment in the form vandalism and victimisation, in full knowledge that the police and the courts are there to protect them should any unruly citizen dare to front them. And finally, unlike Chonburi FC, Liverpool have the most famous football club in the world. Been livin in Pattaya for a year now..........best year of my life.
