Pattaya thailand
I am thinking of renting a apt there near Jomtien Beach.
Any advice/tips? Anyone living there? Cheers! |
watch out for ladyboys and don't get drunk

1. Look around there are lots of good deals
2. Go to the local sales offices they always have engligh people to show you around 3. Dont commit to long term, 3 months at most, then you can pick up and leave with one month damage deposit and go somewhere else. and you will want that if you get into a relationship with a Thai girl , sometimes the only way to get rid of them is to move out 4. Make sure the electric and water is controlled by the government and not the landlord, landlord can rip you off 5. Avoid having a place right beside a bar. at first I thought it was fun because the girls would come out and greet you everytime you went home... but after a while it became insane i couldnt even go to the store without getting girls crawling all over me... haha i know boo hoo you had girls wanting sex with you ...but sometimes u just want to go to the damn store!!!! 6. Get AC or you are going to die, find a place with newer AC units those old AC units are expensive oh yeah if u are going to do porn get yourself a VPN, encrypt your shit and keep your mouth shut on what you do. |

Pattaya is not the best place to live in Thailand...

Be careful who you give your cell number too, or you get calls at all hours. 2 Sim cards is usually smart.

If you're going to shoot porn.
Don't shoot it where you live. Hire a hotel for a night to do that. |

Personally I'd run the girls over the border, it's hassle I know but you will be safer in Cambodia. |
do get a vpn for your work
maybe better to go to a real beach town like phuket where you can still get your girls but if you want maximum sleeze Pattaya is the place |
Always check for junk in the trunk before you take a drive.

2-4 weeks in Pattaya is more than enough for a bit of fun, then you will get sick and tired of the BS, scam and so on especially if you have experienced other parts of Thailand, some love the place others hate it. I stay in Thailand now and have no plans on ever going to Pattaya again.
If you are planning on staying in Thailand for more than 1-2 months get a hotel room first and try out if Pattaya is for you, you can get a 1 bedroom room for $1K a month with no problems. |
was there last weekend, how anybody can stay for more than a week is beyond me! brilliant fun but too much all the time. Prefer phuket, full on in places but relaxed in others.
|
i fucking hate Pattaya. if you are not there for whores, go to the far southern islands along the adaman sea (near Lankawi). so awesome.
|
arrived today. Have a sick hostel in Jomtien Beach area. Super clean + Cheap. Thai people are all smiles and I can eat well for less than $5 per day. Not really into dealing with the whores unless I get fucking wrecked which is not my plan. I felt Jomtien Beach was my best bet since it's outside of central and I can get wrk done....So far so good. Might pony up for a month - after that I might check out Samui :)

it is tough to spend money there. Always bargain when you buy things

It is very cheap here and more so if you avoid the tourist spots. Food that cost 30 baht at the food stall in Pattaya cost 20 baht here. Here a large Leo or Chang in a farang place costs 60 Baht, in a local spot it costs 50/45 baht :D I know the wholesale price and its not much more than a 5 baht profit for them. |

Enjoy Pattaya for a few weeks then try to see something else, Thailand has so many much better things to offer. I love it here, I planned on spending 6 months in Pattaya but after a month I had it and looked elsewhere. |

Cool. appreciate the insight :thumbsup |

lots of suicides apparently lol |
whores are fun for 1 week max, and usually only if you're new to the whore thing.

My only question would be, why would you ever want to live in Pattaya? I've spent loads of time in Pattaya, and currently live in a city in Issan. After experiencing things up here, I couldn't ever imagine going back to that sleaze infested shithole.
Really, come on up to Issan, as it's WAY better. You don't have to constantly look over your shoulder, and wonder whether or not you're getting scammed / fucked. If you're just looking for cheap hookers, then no worries. You can easily find people up here to fuck you for $35. Then again, if that's the only reason you're coming, maybe it's best not to come, and just stay in Pattaya. It's available, but I don't ever indulge in it, as I'm already in a long-term relationship. Really though, Issan is great, and I love it up here. Used to live in a luxury condo in downtown Vancouver, hanging out with rich guys all the time, etc. If I had to choose, I'll take Issan over Vancouver any day. Much better life. |

Same with you as rent. Nice, 2 storey, 4 bedroom, 2 bathroom house, large patio, kitchen, etc... for $150/month. Then maybe another $150/month (at most) for bills, and that's it. Yet, we still manage to spend a good $3500/month. :disgust |

Learn to say "Give me the Thai price" it will raise a few eyebrows, make them laugh and save you money.
Thais have 2 prices lists for everything. LOL |
Pattaya is a shit hole full of the worst Thais and foreigners. If I wasn't shooting here exploiting their STD riddled whores, I would never set foot in this dump. Now with the influx of Arab and Indian whore mongers, it has gone from bad to worse, which is impressive because I didn't think that was possible after the Russians invaded, overpaying for everything and shooting the prices up.
Best thing that can happen to Pattaya is one of these dirty Arabs blows himself up in the middle of Walking Street with a suitcase Nuke. Someone needs to press the reset button on Thailand's toilet. Hell, I'd ever sacrifice my own life to help it happen and take a 10,000 wretched Thais with me. Give me a Nuke and I'll put an end to the wretched misery in this God forsaken shit dump. But if you want to know how I really feel about it, hit me up on ICQ. lol |

I still liked Pattaya until the Brits descended in droves and cannibalized the place, just like they cannibalize everywhere they go, south of spain, greek islands, Cyprus..now thailand. |

Agree!!! Was there last year....spend there almost month...it was enough to understand that it is not the best place to live in Thailand |

I live in Khon Kaen myself, and I love it here. To be honest, I couldn't imagine ever going back to downtown Vancouver. Personally, I'm never bored at all. I work all day, then something always comes up late afternoon / night. Whether I just hang out with a couple friends for beers and pool, or we have a good 20 man party here, or go somewhere else for a party, or whatever... there's always something going on. And good people too. Genuine Thais... not the sleaze buckets you find in Pattaya. |
thai360 is a good forum

Is Vancouver really that bad? I had my heart set on leaving the UK and Vancouver and Portland, OR were on my shortlist. |
Yeah. This place is fucked. Strange seeing old dudes and fucking losers walking around with thai chicks. haha. Central pattaya makes me want to puke from the stink. Jomtien Beach is better than central - not as much filth and cheap rent.
