actiondell4 Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 Some of the strangest characters I have met on my travels to Pattaya have been the funniest people and share a lot of wisdom. A few years ago I was sitting in the Contenental Bakery cafe just near the Jomtiem traffic lights when a American guy sitting at another table started to chat to me,apparently he lived in Jomtiem. Anyway he told me he was on a disabilty pension and he had to leave the USA because of women who had caused problems in his life. I decided to change the subject and told him that i liked those condos i could see with the cable cars,he immediately interjected and said dont buy them,when i asked why,he said"women"managed them. He then went on talking about how 'women" are planning a world takeover and i pretended to listen attentatively before i made an excuse to leave. About an hour later i was walking in the Jomtiem complex when a motorbike pulled up next to me,it was him,he said he was glad he had found me so we could chat some more about "women"who are causing lifes problems. I made some excuse and left. Actually i never saw that guy again on my return visits to Pattaya,i would have to say i still get a chuckle rememberi ng him ,same as the big guy i saw last year wearing a white shirt with black trousers and braces holding them up wearing a Jewish religious cap carrying a bible blessing people who spoke to him. I wonder why some of these characters flock to pattaya,i suppose they feel more "accepted" there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raro Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 reminds me of a guy I met at Carrefour between the wine shelves...He was apparently drunk and urged me not to buy certain stocks as some conspiracy and blahblah....I just went on with my shopping Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevozman1 Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 Glitterman lives in Pattaya and he seems a "funny" character. To be honest I find more interesting characters in London. Thai people mostly have very similar characters and beliefs and a lot of the western people there you can put into a few different catagories aswell.

sharecropper Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 "a few years ago" and a boring anecdote are a poor start for a potentially interesting topic. The general thrust - [weirdos] in Pattaya - is a good one. Let's see where this goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonwilly Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 I normally say you can meet every weirdo imaginable in Chiang Mai, but I will conceded that Pattayay probably has it licked. john In CM we have had more ex SAS pass through then have ever done Selection in the history of the Regiment.

aussiechick Posted June 11, 2010 Share Posted June 11, 2010 When I first came to Pattaya there were a lot of funny characters - maybe they got better and moved on? Does anyone remember the 2 guys that used to play badminton on the beach footpath opposite Soi 13/1 (Yamoto) when A&W used to be on the corner - both came from differents directions, never spoke, pulled out their racquets and ball play a few games of badminton (with one guy just stating the scores). End of session, racquets away and depart in separate directions. This used to be a daily occurence then I moved so have no clue what happened. or The guy with shoulder length blonde hair that walked everywhere dressed in green monk robes - used be seen from Naklua to Na Jomtien. or The guy very well dressed in a suit every day who used to also walk everywhere like he was on a mission and had no time to spare. There were others (including Thai) but I always remember these ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thaibeachlovers Posted June 11, 2010 Share Posted June 11, 2010 Having worked in a female dominated occupation for the past 28 years I can see where that guy's coming from, LOL. Probably not surprising I have high BP! Anyway, aren't most farang guys in Pattaya because they had "problems" with women in their own countries? I certainly did.

monty Posted June 12, 2010 Share Posted June 12, 2010 I don't know if they are still around, but there used to be two guys, probably late 40's early 50's, dressed identically in tight black pants and white long sleeved shirts. You would never see them separately, they used to be doing the rounds in walking street including the disco's (late 90's early 2000's)... Not sure if they were brothers or even maybe twins...
