chonabot Posted January 18, 2005 Share Posted January 18, 2005 You're putting me off the place and I've never been there. Been coming to Thailand all through my twenties but never been to Pattaya. Planned to spend a week there in March to see what it's like, not so sure now - sounds more like England than England. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> You should go Jack , for all of it's faults . it's still the best Night out in the world in my opinion , and I've had a few of those.

ProfessorFart Posted January 18, 2005 Share Posted January 18, 2005 I'll echo the above statments. Pattaya is a cracking night out, and to top it all you can usually shake off the hangover with any choice of good breakfasts. Check out the thread on the Pattaya branch for more on Brealfasts! Patters also has some outstandingly good value hotels as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lampard10 Posted January 19, 2005 Share Posted January 19, 2005 A sad fact , but most of these pr1cks are wannabee hardmen due to the Footie violence they think is so cool. They couldn't give 2 fukcs about the football.I'm a fairly muscualr , albeit short ( 5ft 8 ) brit in his late 30's with a shaved head , for my sins. I'm one of the nicest guys you could meet for a beer ( honestly ) . But I occasioanlly get mistaken for one of these tossers , due to my looks. On these occasions wish I looked like a City Gent , but then again.... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> As Dave would say another short arse! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Don't worry chonabot, I'm 5'8" also... another short arse! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> My wifes 5'4" try calling her a short arse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJ Pat Posted January 19, 2005 Share Posted January 19, 2005 There was a time years ago when a night out in Pattaya was enjoyed immensely by all because of the camarardarie enjoyed between lots of lads from different parts of the world all doing and enjoying one thing- The Pattaya nightlife. Nowadays it seems these people want something more, and are finding that they can get away with having a punch up. I saw one guy get out his two koshes in a crowded bar and 'threaten' others with them for a joke. Sad sad idiot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sua yai Posted January 19, 2005 Share Posted January 19, 2005 I can't understand the logic of limited opening hours, particularly when put in the context of "trouble". There's a raging debate in the UK at the moment re 24 hour opening for pubs. Most landlords would welcome the extra hours, but only until 2-3am. The police and licencing magistrates are generally in favour of the longer hours. Discourages binge drinking and gets around the problem of a load of aggressive, drunken <deleted> being thrown out onto the streets together at 11pm/midnight. The moral majority/minority preach otherwise, of course. Hopefully, Pattaya and the rest of Thailand will understand that their opening hours are only likely to lead to more violence. It's called frustration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

William Osborne Posted January 19, 2005 Share Posted January 19, 2005 just returned to uk from pattaya..spent 3 weeks there,had no intention of being there all the time but due to natural disasters and so forth ended up spending the whole time there.1.on no less than 4 seperate occasions i was accosted and verbally threatened by 50ish english males....i know my wife is pretty and i have a fair few friends there so i generally have a good time...but why me.if i was a wimp maybe i could understand it,but i am not...37 years 6'2" 100 kilos...are they just staying there so long they start to resent anybody who is enjoying themselves??? what really amazes me is the young usually get slated and i never saw one who didnt have a smile for me...so what is it to much song saem???? or are they just trying to impress dog ugly wives they have been with for the last twenty years?? have been 10 times before to thailand and have never once had any trouble anywhere! 2.the fXXXing idiots who sell fireworks in bars to over happy drunks who let them off without a care in the world!! ref this if i could find the <deleted> who caused my wife to receive a medium burn to her back by letting one off virtually in the bar i would have extreme trouble keeping my thai smile!!!! second point is a bit of a rage i know as "this is thailand" but anybody else noticed the first phenomena or dothey just fancy me??? schmokinnn <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Although a relative newcomer to Pattaya/ Bangkok, (worked in SE for past 5 years) first impressions of Pattaya is rather low, the home of a rather un-cut class if undesirable tourist, red faced, drooping joweled alcoholics propping up beer-bars at 10 am in the morning or an younger version dressed in "diesal, von dutch, etc *designer gear* assuming, rather incorrectly that they are unigue in their originality, but will eventully end up like their older counterparts.

Other than that, yes I think I will adjust to life in Thailand although I don't believe I will be joining the throngs of expat tourists propping up beer bars, in my customery "Singa" or "Thailand" vest, playing mindless games which probally would have a "suitable for under 10's" on the box if bought back in Europe.

Jeez, that's why I feel so at home! Actually it is understandable why you would be so shocked by their demeanor, billy boy. Everyone knows you fine British gentlemen never drink before "10 am IN THE AFTERNOON" Pattaya has never been on a level IMO. Certainly not for everyone and if you don't like it, there are many options out there.

bmanly Posted January 20, 2005 Share Posted January 20, 2005 I basically live in Pattaya half of my life, 6 Months there and 6 Months in Australia every year. I have many friends there mainly English and Aussies. I find most of the ex pats and regular visitors there are great guys who will do anything for you. The only time I ever see problems seems to be the 2 week visitors who may not have been there before and might want to carry on like bloody idiots. Those that live there rarely get into problems. I compare my stay in Pattaya with my stay in Sydney. In Sydney we can drink until 6AM, in Thailand only 1AM. In Sydney it is very very boring drinking, in Thailand it is a paradise for fun, drinking, Go Go floor shows, dancing, eating etc. Who cares what time it closes it is much more quality time. In Thailand I can walk home half pissed at 3 or 4AM and never get bashed, in Sydney you have a good chance of being beaten to death while waiting for a cab or while walking home from the bus stop. I am a world traveller and I love drinking, fun and meeting all kinds of people. I find Pattaya is one of the cheapest and best places in the world, nothing beats it value wise. Pattaya is growing everyear, there is no chance of it ever closing down. The only changes I fear is that one day it might get too expensive for me to spend 6 Months a year there. Then it's back to boring sterile Sydney! PS: I am in Sydney now and I think about being back in Pattaya all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cobra Posted January 21, 2005 Share Posted January 21, 2005 IMHO, these three tenants of drinking have kept me out of trouble most of the time, (or immediately got me into the sh .. when I departed from same) 1. Your back to the wall, eyes on your drink, 2. Never look at another drunks GF, 3. Never make eye-contact with ah rabid animal or stare-down a drunk, I'd add try to resist getting involved in a fight between a drunk and his GF, this is a hard one, especially when some knucklehead starts wailing on the GF, at some point ya gotta do what ya gotta do ... I love Pattaya and never miss an opportunity to have some fun there. Whether the character of the place is changing I'm not sure, time will tell.
