PoodMaiDai Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 If you live in Pattaya the whole world thinks you are here just for sex Because 99% of the single males who live in Pattaya are there for sex. It is difficult to live in the worlds largest brothel (literally) and claim you're there for the golf and restaurants. Kudos to those of you who are the 1%.

PoodMaiDai Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 What I put up with that I don't like... Noise. I can't escape hammering or some sort of construction. Roads full of people (many who are drunk) who have no idea how to drive the vehicle they are attempting to operate. Jumping through hoops for a visa. Not allowed to own actual land. Dealing with the locals when I have to purchase / build / install something. The lack of training / care / knowledge is appalling. Having said all of that, it's still much better than back home. However, I do wish I could own a nice plot of land and have it in my name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
farangme Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 Having to oversee/supervise any work performed on you home: satellite/cable installation, television wall mounting, landscaping, delivery truck loading (so product purchased is one delivered). How Thai sales clerks ask no questions to ensure your purchasing the correct solution. They simply sell you the closest thing to what you ask for.

Langsuan Man Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 Sound trucks that not only break the sound barrier but also cause traffic to move at a snails pace Drivers that jump into the left lane, even though they can see a car / bus/ trucked parked there and then give me some attitude when I don't yield and allow them back in the traffic lane The whole concept that the size of the vehicle determines who has the right-of-way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, but I would include HM and his outlets in the same group as the others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know the ones that are advertising Muay Thai etc. and normally there are 2 or 3 in a row. They should be banned from doing that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Markland Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 In the queue at 7.11 waiting for my turn, and some Thai woman opens the door and manages to get served before me. In the queue (with crossed legs) at the toilets of a busy Bar/disco and some Thai woman runs in and jumps the queue, runs into the loo and locks the door. It's just not fair !!!!! Terrible manners. just a excuse to cry about thau ladies sorry this si what it looks like to me is it because they are so slim and beautiful ?

smokie36 Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 I guess the soi dogs. I LOVE to walk to the beach from my little place in the country, but when it is cool enough, the soi dogs are out and aggressive. So by the time I get back home the adrenaline is pumping and the peace of the evening swim is gone haha. The real peeve is that the worst dogs, the ones I have to face down every day, and after facing down have to walk backwards for some time are actually on the grounds of a major tourist condo - (the complex containing wave restaurant off soi 12 na jomtien). Do not the tourists complain about being bitten??? Mind you they are Russians, maybe they bite the dogs and that is why, when the dogs see a kiwi farang, they seek revenge... You do reaise that 20 secs with your taser (set on low!!) will mean the same almost in years of peace and quiet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yogi100 Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Come on guys, Thai Visa posters and spellers do not qualify as pet peaves as it is simple to just not read TV if it pisses you off. I mean things you put up with that kinda piss you off yet staying here in Pattaya out-weighs them. Let's try to leave TV out of this. The reception on Sophon Cable is awful.

Danlo Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Just remember guys this is Thailand, get used to it, you can move of course to other accommodation or areas but its how it is, its not going to change because you don't like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
