Are you suggesting that the entire membership of ThaiVisa Forum live in Issan? Why would ThaiVisa have a Phuket section if that were the case? Given that I have stated that I live in Isaan, is this a cowardly form of insult from a man that lives the third largest sex for money center in Thailand? Have you ever ventured out of your room to see the hordes of whores that ply the Patong Beach, Bang La region? Do you feel that the Russian or Chinese tourists that Phuket now thrives on really enhance your quality of life? Have you ever had the pleasure of dealing with the Phuket taxi mafia?

I spent a short 4 day holiday in Phuket and to me, it is very similar to Pattaya. Filled with old men, full of themselves after paying some whore to tell them how handsome they are before engaging in their 4 minutes of sweaty "lovemaking". Men that live for happy hour or cheap drinks up dingy side sois counting their baht while waiting for next months pension cheque to come so they can pay this month's rent. In fact, recently a poster who claims to live in Phuket posted a rather telling article of a Phuket expat who was so far behind his rent that he barricaded himself in his rather shabby room for a number of months before being extricated by police. There are a few quality farangs in Phuket if one searches hard but the vast majority really are living as if the stayed on Soi Kingkaew. I am sure given your exceptional knowledge of Thailand and it's varied regions you are very familiar with that soi in particular.

not intended to offend or troll any CEO member but simply a rebuttal of said poster's suggestion that Isaan expats are the root of ThaiVisa Forums problems. I am not a member of ThaiVisa, I believe the forum is filled with hateful and posters that gratuitously insult each other to enhance their feeling of self-worth.

......but the vast majority really are living as if the stayed on Soi Kingkaew.

You spent 4 days in PHUKET or in Patong?

where did i say they all live in Issan? Look at the number of posts from those living in Issan compared to those living in the rest of the country.
There is one town, i forget the name in Issan, that the whole Commerce of the town is based on bar girls bringing their old husbands up there to build a home and retire
I wouldn't live in Issan if i had to, I'd be up north in the ching rai area if i didn't love the sea

Has my life improved over the 32+ year i have been here? hard to say... but living where i do an my lifestyle, it has NOT gotten any worse. Love having a shopping mall nearby.
phuket is NOTHING like pattaya, OK< soi bangla in Patong might be, but thats it..

......but the vast majority really are living as if the stayed on Soi Kingkaew.
