Farang nationality composition ??

[Guest manmarkman]

I was wondering whether there is a change in farang nationalities in recent times?

I know it is low season, but I'm sure that you expats must notice whether some nationalities are on the rise in numbers or some have declined in numbers?

As a scandinavian I am probably in a minority, but would like to know ?

I would say there really isn't a change in nationalities, but some have become more prominent. Russia seems to represent quite a surge in visitors to Pattaya. Many shops that used to have their signs and ads only in Thai and English now also include Russian. I've noticed many restaurants now have menus that include Russian. I've seen more Russian restaurants opening up.

 

Other than that, I haven't noticed much of anything having changed.

Perhaps they have always been there, but there is large group of Iranians that congregate at a club (Apadama?) in Sunee Plaza. There are also numerous other establishments catering to Arabs or Iranians in the same general vicinity.
