Since you have experience of living in Thailand and Cambodia, it would be good to have your input from Vietnam when you move.

Re: Koh Phangan cop accused of assault, drug extortion against tourists
Ive heard a few good things about the 'Dark Side'. Is there any possability of knowing where this is located?
More than just any old backpacker.

Sure. Moving this summer from mall-obsessed Bangkok.Anchor Moy wrote: ↑Sun Mar 19, 2017 3:31 pm Since you have experience of living in Thailand and Cambodia, it would be good to have your input from Vietnam when you move.

More a state of mind. LOL. Actually, it's anywhere east of Sukhumvit (Hwy 3). At the moment, it's screwed up by the Big Tunnel project splitting Sukhumvit Rd. The two northern intersections (connecting you to the beach side) at Soi Siam Country Club Road and Noen Pub Wan are supposed to be re-opened this summer. The Dark Side stretches roughly from Pattaya Nua (North) Road south to Pattaya Tai (South) Road and beyond, actually past Thep Phrasit. The major east-west roads are Soi Siam, Noen Pub Wan, Khao Noi and Khao Talo.snookieboi wrote: ↑Sun Mar 19, 2017 3:35 pmIve heard a few good things about the 'Dark Side'.

Yea, i just did some research into the 'Dark side', but it seems now to be nothing special compared to what it might have in the past been. Now according to what i read, it's just a place to live cos it's cheaper, but apparently a bit boring....Unless wot i read was tripe, that is....

If go go bars, beer bars and massage shops rule your day, then the Beach side is for you.

I agree with that.Trinitysmackstain wrote: ↑Mon Mar 20, 2017 4:59 am Pattaya is not wild like before , same as all thailand.

Pattaya has even become 'family friendly' as of late.
Can you go into details about what it was like when it was wild, from your perspective??
