Anything in Pattaya of interest to LONG-term S.E.A. expats?

Thailand is Cambodia's neighbor to the West, and this forum is dedicated to Thai news, stories, reviews, blogs, videos, Thai people and anything else related to the country. A lot of expats have both lived and worked in Cambodia and Thailand, and this area is a place to discuss all aspects of life in Thailand and what's going on there. Most topics are about Bangkok and Pattaya because of their larger populations of expatriates and tourists in those cities, but this is for all things Thai.

You are to Thailand what NKOTB is to Cambodia.

Have your worries about an imminent revolution receded?

No, not yet.

Can't believe someone who was continually telling expats on here to leave is now considering returning.

No, not returning.

What has changed your negative outlook on Thailand?

Nothing, it still stands...
Thanks for asking :thumb:

Flee now whilst you still can.

Seems to me people are fleeing from problems in their home countries to come here.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, if I had listened to clowns advising to flee, I'd have missed out on many great years that I wouldn't get back.

Most recently, there was a bit of panic among some expats at the start of the pandemic, but ultimately, Thailand proved to be a great place to stay during the Covid mess.

They'd have the best looking army if the Russian women I'm seeing in Pattaya were conscripted.
