Have they arrived already?

[swissie]

Those 2 week millionaires. flocking in from Europe, willing to explain to Expats "How Thailand and the Thai Population ticks?" Never mind the women of Pattaya, I would gladly go to Pattaya for a few days just to soak up some wisdom from this special group of experts. So again. are they already on location?

Ouuups! I just remembered, that most posters here don't even live in Thailand. Henceforth, they will not like me anymore. Eventually, I will get over it.

Cheers.

They sure keep arriving.....And are proudly showing off their g.f.'s for rent and letting everybody know how different she is, while playing Mr. Big-Shot for a few weeks. I alos often hear that Europe is much worse than Thailand.....More corruption, more dirt, more internet down, more fat ladies and...and....and..... Never a boring day....:-). MS>

[dutchisaan]

Yes, they are here.

You can see them in front of a 7-11,drinking a beer and asking for money to go back home again.

Unfortunately without them Thailand wouldn't tick in the tourism department.

Thailand is a tourist destination, you should know that by now,

I see a lot more full time alcoholics and western welfare cases ("expats") marry prostitutes ("mine is different") compared to the two week millionaires. Most of the two week millionaires have a job rather than living of welfare from their home country. The "expats" say their home country, where they got their education, job and welfare from is shit and they ain't never going home, unless there is a problem with their welfare payments.

What is this fixation with Pattaya, nearly always negative, mostly from people who don't live here.

I can't imagine going to Chiang Mai sub forum, and posting something random. Why would I?

If you lived here in Pattaya, and moved away for some reason, now miss it, come back! Or if you are unable to come back for some reason, get over it! Why post negative nonsence?

We, Pattaya people don't come to your St. Mary Mead sub forum, and post random crap!

So why not try, and get over it!

It's just beyond our powers of comprehension how someone would ever voluntarily reside there.

I for one have enjoyed my 4 years in Pattaya after a 7 year stint in Singapore.. don't much care if someone has a problem with it as it is home to me.

as they say the grass is always greener.

And yet thousands of expats do, and love it, myself included. Very strange.

What is the point of this post?

Just looking to antagonize?

It is tourist season, I do not live in a tourist area but would be surprised if they are not here -

Oh shit yes....can tell by all the fat slobs showing up at the gym and sitting on the equipment for hours at a time....<deleted>...?

No chance of that, we're very selective in Pattaya.

I would guess that due to the recent Russian ban on charter tours to Turkey that Pattaya will notice an upsurge in Russian visitors, at least until the Thai government upsets Putin which doesn't take much

Very poor show off Tourist here In CHiangmai Over festival period.

Let's feel superior by slagging off others. Pointless topic really. Businesses are happy to take the income they bring.

I took time to learn the phrase " I don't speak english" in Russian.

I also speak Thai and Indonesian. English is my mother tongue.

Whenever I am approached by an english speaking tourist I reply that I don't speak English in Russian.

Whenever I am approached by a Russian tourist, I reply in bahasa indonesian.

Whenever I am approach by a Thai man, I also reply in indonesian.

Whenever I approach a Thai girl I use my very best Thai.

Can you please state what you mean by "welfare" payments? Do you mean UK pensioners (these people have paid into the system all their lives for it)

Or maybe you are referring to people on unemployment benefit, which "western welfare cases" are you referring to?

Which western countries are you referring to?

It may have escaped you: I do live in Thailand and Pattaya is only a couple of hours away. I want to soak-up the "freak=show" for a few days, that usually happens this time of year.

This is why I asked "Have they arrived already". Unless the annual "freak-show" hasn't started yet, I'd see little reason to visit Pattaya.

Cheers.

Hey Moonseeker,, you are right, i am in Europe now leaving for LOS in a few days.

Europe is much worse than Thailand.....More corruption, more dirt, more internet down,

more fat ladies and...and....and.....

It's true, the corrupt government i have to deal with is sending me bankrupt, trying to sell

my real estate is proving harder than i thought so Tourism in Thailand is suffering until i

get there, in about a week's time, i do agree the mothers in Europe are hideous while

the daughters are beautiful, so why is it that as soon as they marry they fall off the tree?

I'm off to Thailand for 6 months of relax, but not Pattaya, it's a horrible place.

A horrible place that thousands of expats live in and enjoy. Don't like it, good, don't come, but don't knock it unless you live here, otherwise your opinion is worth squat.

You travel to Patts for a few days so you can engage with the annual influx of low-end tourists (aka the freak show) that you despise so much.

Then you can return home, feeling very satisfied about your place in society, no matter how tiny and insignificant it really is.

It all makes perfect sense.

Methinks the freak show would have increased by one.
