Are young farangs out of control?
Your post is the typical spiel that's spouted ad infinitum on the Forum--by lots of posters like you who don't even live in Pattaya--and likely have never visited any of the many nice, new Pattaya housing developments to see what is actually now being built and who is actually living in them. I live in a Pattaya villa project, and lived in two home projects before this one, have met some of my neighbors in all of them, and have met many more couples and families who came to view the 3 previous houses I sold, as well as more than a dozen condos. What I post is what I actually see and live, here in person. Of course, some foreigners do marry women they meet at a bar--true not just for Pattaya--but I'm not seeing older farang/younger Thai woman as a high percentage in the housing projects that I have lived in here in Pattaya. In my current housing development of 28 homes, maybe two or three that I know of have farang husbands with younger Thai wives. As I said in my previous post, it's a UN--with families from a variety of countries. The families I know of in the project sending their kids to international schools are from China, Russia, and Israel and both spouses are from those countries. One of the Chinese couples that I met told me that they moved to Thailand specifically to send their two children to an international school to get a better, more rounded education than they would get in China. In any case, whether it's a high or low percentage is neither here nor there and matters not a bit. And, it has no bearing whatsoever on the points I was making in my post. That also applies to your second post regarding mortgages--which repeats the same distorted perceptions as your first post. The reasons why buyers are paying cash for their homes is also beside the point. The big takeaway--which you ignored in both your posts--is the large number of diverse international buyers moving to Pattaya who have the means to pay cash for properties, whether condo or villa, costing 10MB and up--in some cases way up. That's the meat of the story and what you should have focused on. Obviously, if they have $300,000 or more in ready cash to purchase a home they could choose to live lots of places besides Pattaya. Yet, here they are, choosing Pattaya. Me, too. You, and any skeptical others, might educate yourselves a bit by viewing some of the many Youtube videos showing new housing projects and new house tours of the projects now being built in Pattaya. My spouse and I like to watch them when we are exercising to keep updated on what's new and we are continually amazed at both the number of new projects, the high-end design, and, in many cases, the quite high price points. Take a gander and you'll see what I am talking about. -

Is buying supplements on Lazada safe?
I stopped Lazada for everything, never ordered supplements from them. Shopee is a Singapore company, and although not perfect, much more reliable than Lazada. Considerably cheaper for almost everything as well.- 1

Narcissistic youth! Typical bullies picking on smaller people and taking advantage of the situation. I despise these people. IMHO, the 35,000 baht fine and no legal action was far too lenient. Jail time and lifetime ban should have been added to the fine. Hope this video goes viral in their home country ... showing their families, freinds and potential employers what are bunch of losers they are. I doubt these losers have girlfriends but if they did they did they would be dumped shortly after seeing this video.
