lemoncake Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 (edited) No doubt everyone has seen and no doubt some have done it, the 7-11 beer drinking, ie buying from 7-11 and standing/sitting at the doors drinking it, also known as cheap charlies(in some circles) But whats with drinking at Friendship Supermarket? the beers are cheaper? or the benches softer? Every day now, i see few "special" people with bottles of large size beer, wrapped in plastic shopping bag along with bread rolls Is that a new cheap charlie hang out? or a step up from 7-11?

simple1 Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 Been going on for years, just more Westerners in Pattaya now, therefore more noticeable. Foodland is a reasonable location, you do not have to put up with boring BGs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NanLaew Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 (edited) I would assume those sitting around drinking outside Friendship have been denied access to the basement. Edited January 28, 2013 by NanLaew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rgs2001uk Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 I would assume those sitting around drinking outside Friendship have been denied access to the basement. Not so far from the truth, my favourite was the Carrefour Cheap Charlies, couldnt even afford the food court, Some call it, "livin the dream" Lets not forget the high rollers in town, a big Chang with a straw and go for a perv up and down WS.

BlackPuddingBertha Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 "But whats with drinking at Friendship Supermarket? the beers are cheaper?" Most beers are indeed a Baht or two cheaper at Friendship. Cheaper still at Makro but I've never seen anyone sitting outside there knocking them back. Possibly because they only sell them warm and in packs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Penangfreak Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 Some terribly sad individuals there already early morning...But they can be found allover Pattaya....But City Hall will turn it into a high class resort town anytime now...

yoslim Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 There is also always a group of older expats hanging out in Tops Central and Tops Pattaya Klang. I prefer the thai market on buahakao (50b large chang) where you can sit outside instead of being in an AC environment.. also at least you can light up a smoke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lancelot Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Been going on for years, just more Westerners in Pattaya now, therefore more noticeable. Foodland is a reasonable location, you do not have to put up with boring BGs. Yep, exchange rates and price increases have some expats watching their budgets more closely. And yeah, some guys already have a GF/wife, so they just want to meet and talk with friends. Several new Cheap beer places, Katesiree on Soi Bukao and Beer & Coffee on Khatalo, offer low priced drinks and no bar girls. There are many stone table outside small Mom & Pop stores over here on the Dark Side and they seem to have many customers drinking there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interestingly sometimes their GF call out & ask my wife if she knows anyone interested in being introduced to their BF's friend/s.

I saw one while I was perving perambulating down Soi 6 the other day. Shades tipped back on his head, scoping the tarts languidly while sipping his CAN of Chang through a long straw. Dead hansum he was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too weak you say?, have you smoked and tried to quit? while it does require some mental power it is a total change of life style, because your "best friend" is not longer there when you have a coffee or drink or food etc. Why is it that for centuries smoking was not a problem and now the smoking nazi is making a big fuss? including your post The quiting business has become a bigger business than smoking business. All the nicabates, nicarettes , gums, sprays, etc etc etc and all of it is very expansive. Perhaps some are making just as much money in advocating how "disgusting" it is, if not more money. You can try to argue with medical point of view of all the death related to smoking, but i can just as easily counter that with deaths related to alcohol, pollution, just cancer, stress etc etc etc 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post MongersSyndicate Posted January 29, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted January 29, 2013 I wonder what is wrong with you guys, systematically pointing out "abnormal" behaviors in Pattaya. The place wouldn't even exist if there had ever been anything "normal" about it... many of us come to Pattaya just to chill out among fellow misfits, in a place where everything goes and no one really cares about anything. It's like the perennial obsession with transforming the city into just another "family-friendly" shithole. If you don't like it, try West Palm Beach for a change why come to Pattaya then? Oh, by the way, I have lost track of a friend of mine, maybe you can help me. His name is Nick, he is in his mid-fifties, bald, a bit overweight. He has quite a few tatoos on his arms and body. He often wears a Singha wifebeater and tank shorts with sandals or slippers. He usually hangs out in Nikom Court, soi Buakhow, sipping 75 cl Chang during daytime. If you ever see him, say hello for me... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Jimmyd Posted January 30, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted January 30, 2013 I hope many people on this thread don't get nosebleeds on their lofty towers. These "I'm so much better than those other scummy people" threads say a lot more about the originators and followers than they do about the objects of the threads. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
