Pattaya Haters Posting In The Pattaya Forum

[MZurf]

I don't get it. Why are there so many Pattaya haters active in the Pattaya forum? I'm not a big Bangkok fan so consequently I don't post in that forum. I'm straight so I'm not active in the gay forum.

But there seems to be an unusual amount of Pattaya haters active in the Pattaya forum. I mean, I get why some/many people dislike this place but there seems to be an abundance of posters who have to use every opportunity to post cr@p about it.

Many theories on that one.

My main theory is that many of the Pattaya bashers WISH they could allow themselves to live in Pattaya because they imagine it's nonstop supersex fun and all that but they don't want to deal with the STIGMA of that from friends and relatives.

So in retribution, they do all they can to reinforce the negative stereotypes about Pattaya.

Many of these people haven't even been here for 20 years or were never even here once. So they really have NO idea what they are talking about.

Very good question, when you find the definitive answer, be sure to post it for the rest of us.

[Jingthing]

It's not so much about what Pattaya is but what Pattaya represents in the basher's minds. So their bashing posts are much more about THEM than Pattaya.

I'll also add my OPINION that Pattaya bashing and being CRITICAL of some things in Pattaya from a basis of intimate knowledge of the real place are totally different things. For example, when I post about the situation of the fake taxi meters in town it's not bashing.

Yes, but the question was more about Pattaya HATERS than people who don't live in Pattaya, I think. Are you suggesting most people who don't live here are Pattaya HATERS?

[soi41]

I am not one of the bashers or haters. But despite being only a 3 hour drive from where I am living, I never felt like visiting, from what I have heard and read about the place. All hearsay, I admit.

So all you Pattaya-lovers, SELL Patts to me. Why should I spend a week in Pattaya?? I am not into the barscene and hookers can be bought locally.

Pattaya is a sesspit! It is the route of all evil in Thailand - It attracts the worst of society!

If anyone got a problem with that and wants to discuss it.. I'll be down there next weekend

Pretty much.

If I liked Pattaya, I wouldn't be living in CM, now would I!

I don't get it. Why are there so many who see everything through rose tinted glasses, start threads in the Pattaya forum because the can not agree with other members who see the reality.

I don't buy that. I LOVE CM but there are a few things about it that make it unlivable for me compared to Pattaya.

Lots of people confuse 'hate' with 'don't like'.

I'm more a Pattaya don't like kinda person, as soi41 says, plenty of hookers locally.

Which begs the question, wouldn't it be great if we had a dumping ground for the Pattaya bashing party?

Like a separate sub-forum: Pattaya Bashing

[chiang mai]

The cycle for many has been: attracted to Thailand by Pattaya, moved to live there, got fed up with it all and subsequently discovered mormality so moved yet again. Looking back, many will no say, my goodness I was silly to do that back then!

How about a "Thai bashing" forum, seems plenty of call for that, "Pattaya bashing" could be a sub-forum.

Nothing wrong with disliking Pattaya or even hating it if that's an informed opinion. That said, Pattaya is not only about hookers. We've got ladyboys too!

Ladyboys aren't hookers?

Since when?

Valid if that was recent. If it was 10 years ago, not so valid. Pattaya has changed A LOT.

i know a very nice ladyboy who has a very good job at a local hospital

she is highly regarded as an employee and does not operate as a hooker on the side

flippant generalizations like this say more about the bigot who wrote it rather than their intended target

I definitely know more ladyboys that ar hookers than who work in a hospital.

So you know a lot of hookers? Nobody is judging here. Pattaya people are very tolerant.

Everyone knows a lot of hookers (even in CM), in Pattaya it must be 10x worse.

I only noticed them after I broke my rose tinted goggles.

[Jingthing]

It's fair to say Pattaya isn't the place for people who are allergic to the sight of hookers. Or the manly sound of Russkie in the evening.

a generalization is usually made by a person, and used specifically when someone dislikes something, or a suggestion a person makes.

although the definition of a generalization certainly seems to fit the author of the remark, i don't think its a real generalization

it seems to me that you are simply boasting that you know lots of ladyboys that work as hookers

as opposed to those who work in hospitals
