stailmanki Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 . Self-opinioated experts on Thai culuture annoy me , they are usually the ones praying (wai) inapppropriately at the locals & look really stupid , I feel embarrassed for them Why do so many people go on & on about how the Thais are this & that , maybe I'm cynical but there is nothing special about Thai people at all. It's just another country. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xen Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 Has anybody mentioned the smart arse pri*****s who do their best to be obnoxious in the perverted hope you would be buying a suit from them. And if you walk past them a few times an hour they will still try the handshake move on you and address you as "Boss" .I guess we all like the same idiots to them . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gone Posted March 31, 2012 Author Share Posted March 31, 2012 1. People that spell Bhat (as in Thai Bhat) as "Bath". They remind me of the kind of people from the UK that say "five pound" instead of "five pounds". Both of these types of people have idiot eyes. 2. People that don't know thwe difference between a typo and genuinly bad spelling. 3. The discovery by the hordes of little places that were previously favourite haunts because they hadn't been descended on yet by the hordes. The hordes then force me to move on. Pattaya is a bit like that generally. 4. The sight of large, clumsy, ungainly falangs sitting at an outside table eating Thai food. There is something about them, their huge heads going up and down, their big mouths chewing away like cows, their bodies that are bit too large for the chairs and tables. I wish these people would stick to eating meat pies in bars and leave me to eat my kao man gai in peace. 5. Overly friendly conversaton from foreigners, could be falangs but can be others, towards Thai business vendors, when I know very well the Thai's are only interested in money and probably hate falangs. Once I hear all the "how are you, its been so long" blah blah blah and see the hand shaking I normally feel like vomiting. Do these guys really thing the Thai people running these businesses are their great friends? A friendly nod or hello will do. 6. Russians with shirts unbuttoned wandering around Mike Shopping Mall. 7. People who say they hate whingers 8. Whiny Australians that pretend to be all laid back etc etc 9... 10... The list is endless WOW Have you concidered seeing a doctor about this? Or even a travel agent? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TexasRanger Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 (edited) I absolutely HATE that really annoying "Pattaya Pattaya" song, what a load of shat. "Pattaya Pattaya, Puuying love you mahk mahk" who wrote that crap? And the thing I hate about it most? It sticks in my head, in fact just posting this I am hearing it. Now I need to go and jump off the balcony to make it stop. Hang on, I think I just solved another Pattaya mystery.

JSixpack Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 (edited) REMOVED Oh, I dunno. Seems he made some points. I'm used to all those, and most of the others mentioned in this thread, so they don't bother me. Traffic, parking, 90-day reporting, the increasing number of katooeys, and obnoxious music in the go-gos are my pet peeves.

xen Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 (edited) Another peeve i have is my lack of ability to look ,all simultanously, at where my feet are going on the uneven footpaths , to watch out for low overhagging signs that will open your head up , scooters and bikes that urgently need your space of road as you step of the kerb and yet still concentrate on those cute little shorts that some of the girls barely wear.

pattaya_girl Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 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.
