Just remembered another negative in Pattaya. It was around 10am and I was taking money out of an ATM machine in front of the Family Mart on Soi Bukow (sp) across from the Sawasdee Hotel. Withdraw my cash and then some English guy, late 20s to early 30s, with a shaved head, tatoo, and t-shirt with a soccer team logo asks me if I speak English. I just shrug and give a confused smile. He then says,"Could you lend me 200 baht, mate?" I still look at him confused and he walks off. I encountered some really lower class English people in Pattaya. So be careful around any Englishman you meet in Pattaya. Trust only the ones that take you to a short time bar in a housing estate.
