lonewolf99 Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 (edited) Quality tourists. All of them have the relevent Visa for being here. They are well educated and some have more than one University Degree. Pattaya / Thailand really needs more people like these...??? Obviously Thai Custom's officers do not understand that they sure as hell did not come to see the Elephants ? You won't see them at a temple, Nong Nooch, playing Golf or getting their PADI diving certs.... Edited February 6, 2013 by lonewolf99 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

petercool Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 Maybe the come to enjoy the recent rain that may be lacking where they originally come from. But Bangkok was once a haven for them in the rag trade. They shipped tonnes of cheap fabric to Africa. Unfortunately, many then moved to more illicit trade and scams. There are probably a dozen picked up weekly on overstay charges from a variety of African countries but they have a long way to go to get to the numbers seen here from Russia.

Popular Post ROBINPATTAYA Posted February 6, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted February 6, 2013 There are many people from Madagasca dealing in gems in Chantaburi, maybe they have just moved North for some fun. I have met a few & they are usually quite wealthy & well educated. I don't know how we differ between them & the overstays that haunt the lower Sois of BKK earning the odd 1000baht for services rendered. Like every nationality, there are good, bad, wealthy & poor. Let's just mind our own business, & not try to take the moral high ground all the time. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PoodMaiDai Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 Last time I was in Pattaya I sat at the bar (Walking Street) and had a few drinks with a couple of the African girls there. One from Sudan the other from Nairobi. Both very nice girls but they are all part of a trafficking network that sends them around various parts of the world and Thailand is their stop before heading to Singapore. The males are here to pimp the girls, sell / buy drugs, and weasel their way into any other illegal enterprise they can find. The bar they all sit at is owned by a gentlemen who married a woman from Africa (don't remember her country) and she allows them to sit there where the other bars run them off. This is what the ladies said anyway. They were very upfront and honest about everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meatballs Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 These people are desperate. They do what they must to survive. Oh sure the well off can look down their noses and chastise the poor for being "bad" or "immoral". But I don't see the rich out there dealing drugs or robbing banks.. because they don't have to. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gonsalviz Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 Lots of African males up in Issan. I see them in small towns on the hiway. Doesn't seem like they hang around. More like they are touring the cheap way. Always on foot and they smile a lot. My guess is they ride the local busses because as I said they don't seem to hang around.

Are they? do they wear singlets and have tattoos as well ?people on here have no problems putting down these people as well and i know some who do have tatts and wear singlets on their time off and they do this because it gets them out of the suits they wear all week in their managerial roles with high stress levels and high salary levels!! goes to show how simple minded some people are?

If coming to see elephants, temples, Nong Nooch, play golf or getting a dive certificate were pre-requesites for travelling to Thailand, Thai Customs officers would be turning most tourists around at the borders, starting with me.

submaniac Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 I once posed this perfectly legitimate question to a group of blacks and Mexicans in California. " Why don't white people form street gangs to the extent that you people do? You could have heard a pin drop. One would think that I had said "when we were writing the Magna Carta, you people were either wearing loin cloths and chasing zebras, or dressing in strange costumes and removing womans hearts" OK let me get this straight, you asked this question...and they managed to let you survive? Like uninjured and everything? P.S. ...white people do have gangs...look up "Aryan Brotherhood" which is one of the predominant prison gangs in the United States, or look up "Nazi Low Riders" (street gang middleman of Aryan Brotherhood)....or even look up "Hell's Angels", "Sons of Silence" (not necessarily white supremecist criminal gangs but pretty much white only criminal gangs) . Plenty of white gangs actually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
