gayinpattaya

Actually, growing up I always thought I was the only gay in the village. Then my brother happened.

Salary?

Paypal me 3000 TBH and I will tell you the truth of what's happening, and send photos, time stamped, within 24 hours. Times have passed of expats giving desperate visitors free information. No loss to me!

I hate the fact I am replying to you. But here goes. I'm currently on my second year of studying Thai language. Our lessons are are currently reading and writing Thai language.. I know the "alphabet" as such. You have been coming to Thailand for over a decade or two. You still can't ask for more ice for your cheap charlie drink. I hope Trump wins and revokes your passport. Take note Bacardi has gone up 30 baht. I hope you sold enough pizza to cover the cost. Take care FRIEND!

Lot's of cultural appropriation going on here.

oh? You have no idea who I am.

I'm not racist.

Why? In Thai culture they are below you. Trust me, they laugh at people like you. The joy I get from studying Thai language lol. Please tell us at what level of hands you greet bar boys? Chin? Nose? Forehead? Do you know their nationality? Do you walk around in a 50 Baht "Pattaya" tank top?

Avoid. It's a shit hole. Restaurant has been modernised, the lovely old ladies who served us for years are gone! They seem to be catering for the chinks.

I've seen farang "wai" Vietnamese bar boys, which is even more funny.

Don't do it till you understand it. Good that you watched a video. The amount of tourists I see "wai" other westerners with their hands level with their head is funny as fuck. I shouldn't complain, we all love comedy. I imagine they greet street food venders as royalty also.

Just as a note. Word is, the 4am closings, at this time, will not include Jomtien Complex. Maybe tomorrow that will change! Who the hell knows.....

The only places that will stay open later are the cannabis cafes and clubs. Extended hours do not include alcohol sales. No bar or club will stay open to serve tea and coffee. See below:- Anutin Charnvirakul, the Thai Minister of the Interior and Deputy Prime Minister, has stated that the upcoming hours extension for entertainment venues until 4AM will not cover alcohol sales, leading to widespread criticism from business owners and tourism associations. He says that patrons can stay inside but alcohol sales will be prohibited after the legal time of 12-2 AM depending on area.

Some have been drifting through Jomtien Complex. Surprisingly they never get a "HELLOOO WELCOMEEE" from any of the bars.

Let them have it. England has been lost already. A failed state shithole. I'll just keep myself as far away from them as possible.

There are Indians EVERYWHERE. In fact, some areas of Pattaya look, feel and SMELL like India now. My Thai friend from Chiang Mai was horrified how they have ghettoised an entire area of Pattaya.

To be fair, depending on your definition of what justifies "danger", this place could lead you down some dangerous rabbit holes. Financial holes also.

Good to know. Thankfully Pattaya's rotten old regulars are dropping off at 1 or 2 a week at the moment. Couldn't be happier about that.

Just to correct you, try doing them back to back, leaving and re-entering, and see how the Thai/Viet/Cambodian/Lao immigration officers look at you. The question wasn't about availability. It was about frequency. I'm surprised some of you managed to access the internet and talk here.

They CAN refuse and do. Meet all requirements. Fucking yanks and their entitlement.

Turn your heads to Japan. They are past the point of no return.

Lol, democrat yanks. No sense of humour. But thank you for the photos of shit hole countries. Reminds us where we shouldn't go. Lovely to see your CNN trash knowledge. He is African. Deal with it. Go cry to Biden. Trump 2024. ----- When you leave on a 30 day exemption is doesn't expire. You are stamped out, thus cancelled. If your exemption expired you would still be in country, and thus face fines, detention, and possible issues if you plan to re-enter in the future. Yes, one can return within a day or 2 for a new exemption, but people do get turned away when they used this entry method multiple times, especially in repetition. Immigration officers have the authority to turn people away, and they do it. Go read Thai Visa forums.

Obama did nothing but damage relations with Thailand. Not sure why he's relevant. He should go back to Ethiopia and retire in his country on birth. - On the topic of entry stamps, nothing expired. If it had, you would be facing some issues. Overstay fines, marks in your passport causing you future problems. As the OP said, he entered on an 30 day exemption stamp. Those can be extended in country for 1900 baht at an immigration office of your choice, giving you 60 days in Thailand. There are no limit to how many 30 day exemptions you can have a year when arriving by plane, however you may be asked to provide evidence of the requirements. Proof of accommodation, proof of exit flight and proof of funds (20,000 baht) USD/GBP/EUR equivalent. The only official limit is on land borders. 2 exemption stamps per calander year. While I am certain you wouldn't have a problem arriving and leaving internationally, even just a few weeks apart, it's always good to know the rules. Let's not listen to Obama lovers. They should probably go back to Ethiopia with him. Enjoy your trip. I'm sure you are excited to get back here.

You don't?

Bar entrepreneurs? The only one I can see in Pattaya right now is Charlie with Sunee Bar and Dodo Bar. The rest are just rotting in their horrible wood chairs, deluding themselves that tourism is going to blow up and their bars will be full again. Reality will set in soon for many. I must also apologise as the hottest boy from Sunee Bar has been with me for the last 7 days. He's a keeper!
