Sorry, I read some of the link, and got quite bored. Was there a conclusion or a summary ??

Mafia, transnational crime syndicates! Worst thing I ever saw here was a bar girl beating up a guy.

I know the jetski scam, and police extortion exist, but it all seems more about some different place than the Pattaya I know.

not really, just that its corrupt and extortion is the main business and its a possible terrorist target, but no one has a clue whats going on or if they do they arent telling. interesting that some gangter called Kamnan Poh supposedly runs the whole show, but he was on bail and probably going to jail, so he cant have total control, its dated 2005 so a little out of date

Question;

Suppose, just suppose, that Pattaya was located in USA ---- where would it rank among American cities ??

[chops]

wow. only 3-400 of us year round yank expats. i'm one of them. makes me feel all special inside.

seems like there is more, but i guess 99.9% of them are tourists.

Don`t, there must be around 4000 more, all Special Forces, Navy Seals or working for CIA .....

Note that this truly silly question was posed at 1:23 a.m.- Surely, anyone (who;s not drunk!) can see that Pattaya could never, ever, exist as it does in Thailand... anywhere in the U.S.A.
