radiola Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 I was always safe walking at midnight on sukhumvit in bkk, never had any problems in 2 years, but here you see so many crazy people, ladyboys robbing people, people get beaten on the beach and robbed, faragns got killed by motorbike mafia drivers.... this is just crazy, definately not a place to raise your family I see complete houses totally insdie the steel rods, like they expect to being robbed anytime, and that is in gated community.... steel bars everywhere around the houses, havent seen this in bkk and like crazy farangs screaming, i have seen that many times... I was attacked and kicked for the first time in my life here in Pattaya, never happened before, by a crazy thai man, obviously doped and drugged just want to see your opinions, why you stay in this city is it because of cheap accomodation, bars, closeness to bkk?

daveb1 Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 10 years coming here never even seen a fight. Of course if you are going to walk along beach road pissed out of your head at 3 in the morning you might get mugged but you would in Bangkok, London, New york or anywhere else. Its all about common sense. I always feel very safe here safer than in the UK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The local news prints less than 1% I bet. The Police & press make a ton of money to keep the bad news quiet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always feel very safe here safer than in the UK Completely agree...the op is basically a troll Lived in both places for over a decade and never even a hint of trouble...and I've done my share of late-nite partying (but never get drunk). However, if one is the type who goes looking for trouble or likes to stick their nose where it doesn't belong, there is trouble around every corner. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont let me brag about old pervs coming here for their prey I am going to puke I could find just as much, and likely more, serious crime stories by reading any large metropolitan daily paper in my birthplace of the USA. I base my perception of crime on my personal experience, and that of my expat friends and visitors over the years. None have been a victim of a serious crime. Doesn't mean they don't happen but not enough that I give in any thought. As to the crimes you cite...they were almost all Thai on Thai (still bad) but don't affect the life of the average farang Pattaya resident/tourist.

Darrel Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 (edited) definately not a place to raise your family For over 4 decades Pattaya was a destination frequented almost exclusively by single farang males (and a few bizarre single farang women). Quite why anyone ever imagined that it could possibly be suitable for anything to do with families is a bit of a mystery to me.

LennyW Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Read the Pattaya related media and you will find stories about Pattaya, read the nationwide Thai media such as Matichon, Thairath etc. and you will see Pattaya aint so bad!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post lemel Posted April 27, 2012 Popular Post Share Posted April 27, 2012 And your point is what Radiola? you dont like been a troll?? you come on here wanting opinions, well, you got them and then you revert to sterotypes by slagging off people who live here. I have lived here for 11 years, have a family and never been in trouble or scammed, dont sell condos and run a very successfull international company and your the idiot who got kicked not me. I lived i Bangkok for 3 years previously and yes they do have bars on some houses, yes there is crime and yes bad things happen, so unles you have something better so say....go forth and multiply Troll!!! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doggie888888 Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 definately not a place to raise your family For over 4 decades Pattaya was a destination frequented almost exclusively by single farang males (and a few bizarre single farang women). Quite why anyone ever imagined that it could possibly be suitable for anything to do with families is a bit of a mystery to me. Perhaps it is a myth that Pattaya is "frequented almost exclusively by single farang males". A lot of tourist drop by quite simply because it is the closest beach resort to big city BKK. Whether they ever come back is a different story of course.Furthermore, lots of BKK famiies come for a weekend or during holidays. Wongamat used to be dotted with big beachfront houses belonging to BKK rich folk. And finally, there are many families and "real" expats with jobs in the nearby factories and industrial zones. Most of these don't live in the usual areas frequented by single farang males who think they are the beginning and the end, the alpha and the omega and the primary reason for the existence of Pattaya.

craigt3365 Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Sorry guys, but we've discussed this thread and have decided to close it down. Pattaya has it's problems, but so do many other places. We don't need overly negative posts like this. Per forum rules: 8) Not to post extremely negative views of Thailand or derogatory comments directed towards all Thais.
