There are so many foreigners now, that plenty of Thais are upsets and sometimes don't even suppress their anger with foreigners allegedly taking over their territory. And I'm not even talking about the struggles of the local bar mafia with the Russians. There are plenty of contract killings just between the locals alone, let alone fights with foreigners.
And let's not even talk about Pattaya.
But hey, it's maybe like in Real Estate: Location, location, location.

No Lets talk about Pattaya where I have lived for the last five years.
The first thing to remember is that there are more young guys and gals here than in Isaan. They are here to get hold of as much Farang Cash as possible, and they are expert at it.
Pattaya is certainly NOT the LOS. You are lucky to get a smile once a week and it will only be because you are buying something, in a Market say.
Coming from UK as I do, I am used to miserable faces so it doesn't bother me when I am confronted with them.
Tempers here are easily frayed and violence flares up every where any time with
shootings and stabbings being so regular we hardly bother to take note, unless we are involved. The secret when trouble appears likely is to walk away asap!.
Thais don't just want to win a fight, they mostly want to kill. It's in their nature.
But, perhaps THE most important thing to remember is that they don't want us here. They hate our guts, and only put up with us 'cos they get money from us.
Sorry, but it's true........
Fedup with female money grabbers, I now live alone with my lovely Dogs.
They NEVER ask me to send Mama bones.........
