balo Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 I don't like to get wet and will avoid any confrontations and will do whatever it takes. Here in Pattaya I can't scare the farangs away , they will aim at you and try to kill you with water if possible . Any suggestions how to scare Thais away from you , any thai words I can use to make them think I'm a ghost or something ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

perriwinkle Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 Why don't you wear a raincoat or carry an umbrella? Or perhaps stay home during Songran. Travel in your car or a taxi if you need to go places. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Travel in your car or a taxi if you need to go places. Not everyone has a car. Should everyone in Pattaya have a car? How green. Pattaya doesn't have a real taxi system. Next ...

Popular Post captspectre Posted April 15, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted April 15, 2014 You could go back to your home country. yes, you could go back to that dirty smelly place you came from. leave the Thai people alone, if you don't like it leave or stay indoors. I don't think that anyone gives a tinkers dam what you think! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post JO1973 Posted April 15, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted April 15, 2014 You could go back to your home country. Or perhaps Thais could show an ounce of decency towards visitors instead of assaulting them -- just a thought. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Old Stud Posted April 15, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted April 15, 2014 Songkran is "Thai's and farangs Gone Wild" for four days. For some it's totally insane, and for others it's the best fun ever. I'm a senior and it just got too stressful for me to go out and subject myself to condoned assault. So I buy groceries for four days and hang low. I catch up on work, clean my house, write emails - it's good to take a break from all the ordinary traffic and Thai life out there. I love living in Thailand, but for four days a year its just nuts out there. Stay home or take a trip if you don't like getting soaked. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post DannyApneaMartens Posted April 15, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted April 15, 2014 Sometimes... When I read topics like this, I have only one question. Why the hell are you here? If this is such a burden, I can very much imagine all your other annoyances. How many times people complain about thai people here... Do you -self important imperialistic western dorks- even realisf it is THEIR country and not yours? So, shut up and adapt to the way of life. You don't like it, go back to where you came from. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love living in Thailand, but for four days a year its just nuts out there. Stay home or take a trip if you don't like getting soaked. No. Not 4 days. Try 2 weeks in the Pattaya/Jomtien area. I spotted the first revellers last Thursday night. They'll still be around this Thurs night and possibly the next. I'm using my car for this period, but even then it can be dangerous. When I went out last evening to get a haircut, one loser tossed a huge bucket of water at the car, causing temporary loss of vision during which I almost hit a kid who had run out into the road to splash someone. The water fights are fun, but this isn't. BTW - about 9 years since I was last splashed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
