NCC1701A Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 for the love of god people when in Pattaya always lock the short time room door and wear a nice Calvin Klein tee shirt in case you get stabbed and show up on YouTube. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I do hit the night life on weekends, I make sure I return to my apartment before 2am. If I am on a song-taew with obnoxious drunks, I get off & hop on another song-taew or take a motor bike taxi. If a Thai pisses me off, I do not raise my voice or try to get even ( Isaan & South Thailand men easily go ballistic). I limit my beer consumption to 6 beers ( my limit). Pattaya is a fun party town but you need to use some common sense. ' common sense'....Got it in one, but is not as common as people think :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For foreigners it's the nightlife, the range of food and the sea. Its not for the food Is for the hookers Plain and Simple Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madusa Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 20 hours ago, phantomfiddler said: After 36 years here I would have to say it is the safest place I have ever lived, and I include the whole of Thailand. The most dangerous place I ever lived was America, where 11 people were murdered on the streets within 100 yards of my apartment in the last 2 months that I was there ! When you walk out in many American cities at night you are risking your life. I was once told that Americans being mostly anglo saxon are homicidal, they love to kill. Please I didn't say it, I just repeat what I heard from a white guy of all the people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nemofound Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 I've been beaten by an English ex-boxer, conned by a white South African, pick pocketed by ladyboys on beach road but never had a serious problem with thai guys. Well with them I prefer to back off if things are not looking safe. I just love Pattaya and consider it a safer place to live than a Thai island I lived on before. There it was scary if the locals had some issue with farangs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She told me if I had ever been there or visited there, she would have never dated me. I think that says all i need to know about Pattaya, the constant news articles of late-night bar fights, attacks on foreigners, robberies, prostitution, drugs, and less than savory characters that seem to frequent there, leaves me not really seeing the appeal. I am assuming this is the seedy side of Thailand, which I have no interest in seeing, so I doubt I will ever visit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't been attacked in my ten years of living here. Do people not get hurt elsewhere? About 40 years ago when I was on holiday in Hong Kong, the middle age lady who cleaned my hotel room told me to have lot of cash on me when I went out. She said if the robber try to rob you but found that you didn't have much money on you he would stab you with a knife. She said the robber was angry you wasted his time . She spoke to me in cantonese, the dialect spoken in Hong Kong How's that compare to Thailand? I never went back to Hong Kong again, just too many people on a small piece of rock.

cardinalblue Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 PF- why you live in the projects? i would say most Americans would not know anyone who has been murdered... some people just make mistakes in choosing where they live or born into it... who in the hell would want to live in pattaya?

It's amazing the problem of this magnitude gets so little coverage. Coupled with urbanization it's a surefire way to conflicts and eventual culling.
