Tell me you ain't been there .....beats a bamboo mat on a floor back of a restaurant....knees can't take that anymore!!!

going for a pre bonk shower after the stunning tall bar girl and finding the seat up........

Over taxed/priced wines

AussiE street slang, I doubt it!  More like an American English (lol) abomination of typographical error, but you knew that, right?!

Oz

ThaiVisa members who sneer at all the members that have less money and smaller pensions than them.
ThaiVisa members who look down on Thais, the traditional Thai rural way of life, and the Thai education system.
ThaiVisa members who think their wife is better than other members wives because theirs is, educated, Chinese, wealthy, hi-so.
Young and good-looking ThaiVisa members who think their bar-girl purchase likes them more than they liked the fat, bald, old fart who purchased the same girl last/next week.

Loser Farangs. The ones who want to stay here and enjoy the beer and sex lifestyle but don't have the money to pay for it. The Cheap Charlies that constantly 'borrow' money from their friends, engage in petty crime, don't pay their rent, eat at balloon bars and scrounge food off bargirls. The ones who get their girlfriend pregnant but will never have the money to support a third human being. Pattaya just seems to attract them and there seem to be more and more every year.

ANTS that bite.

Lock up and then deport tens of thousands (many tens)  of (mostly) honest openminded useful and generally quite good people, who are often caring for children ( mostly Thai children) , who may be partially supporting other familymembers . . . Who are good for the Thai ecconomy, mostly bringing a lot of good cold cash into the country on a regular basis . . .    And think about it 30% of even Pattayas beach front land, no way . . .

1/3 of the land owned by foreigners???

All I want is a couple of rai to build a house on and retire with the wife.....

I live one day at a time, so have no idea where I be when I am removed from this world.

I have seen a lot of guys live here for many years and stay here until they died and most of them did pretty well. That is what I plan to do if possible, but that is up to luck.

Let me guess. Not a regular at the sadist run queue, are you?

Another post where the Farang try to "educate" Thai people how to do business... or run the country... another post where I see nothing but people who hate everything within the country they choose on their free will to do holiday or even live in...

I was in Pattaya for three weeks in December and twice a day took the Baht bus from outside school to Jomtien. Of course, they fill the Bus to the limit or more... of course, i also had to wait for the bus to be filled for few minutes and of course, I did experience the "move, move, move" from the ladies there (the older lady is worse than the young one).

But a little inconvenience driving the first 5 minutes to Jomtien center and then on to the far sois past soi 12 for 10 Baht... ever thought about the price you pay for public transport in your country? Zurich where Tram tickets start from 100 Baht for short distance and go up to 200 and more for longer tickets... or Taxi that charge you 250 Baht for starting the engine only...

And of course, there are no Farang trying to smoke on the bus, no Farang with large luggage which they think is transported for free, no Farang who think the can have two seats for 10 Baht, no Farang who think their children should drive for free... we all behave so dam_n well, we are the perfect examples to show the Thai how to behave....

Ladies and Gents, if you don't like the 10 Baht transport, hire a Baht bus for 200 or take a taxi for 400 Baht... up to you...

As regular readers know, I am have had my run ins with those queue Nazis. There seems to be a lot of turnover, some of them are crazier and/or more drunk/yabba-unk than others. Some deserve to be behind bars. I have seen them make mothers and small children cry. I have been humiliated by them personally a number of times. I  have seen them kick off entire busloads of people just to play their power games. It is truly a disgusting situation. Sometimes. The Tourism authority ought to deal with this. Hire smiling young people with big smiles for that job. Thousands of tourist go through that queue. Many see the absolute worst face Thailand has to offer. Thank you OP for being another voice of protest against this horror show.
