    Enough Switch. Enough.

    No amount of whinging about western food , Western bars and Western sports , is going to take away from the fact that you lost your much prized normie status when you moved to Thailand. Nevermind Pattaya !

    I’m not the one whining. I’m giving an answer to your question. Pattaya restaurants , bars and supermarkets cater for western tastes. It been like that since it was a sleepy fishing village, converted to a US military R&R centre during the Vietnam war.
    Farang customers enjoy all the spin offs from that historical awakening. Ask any farang who lives there.
    Just as I enjoy quality Australian beef here in Bali, courtesy of tourism catering to the proximity of Australia and its tourists.
    Clearly I am happy and you are not. Get on with your childish crying.

    You regard the place where someone lives as being reflective of how interesting an individual they are. But that would be to argue that living in Pattaya automatically confers some sort of bravery and 'devil may care' individuality on a person.

    That's an incredibly dumb argument, but that clearly never puts you off in the slightest.

    I went out of my way to post the official and refined Normie definition. Anyone who lives in Pattaya cannot be considered a normie in any way.

    Normies stay in the geographical boundary of where they were born.

    I am not saying anyone who lives in Pattaya or joins a forum like this is some brave nomadic explorer. They just aren't normies. You are under estimating how lame normies are. It's not something to be proud of, being a normie

    Given the situation right now, I would be only too happy to be sat by a hotel pool with a cold one- or at the very least know I can do this in December. That said, when the borders to open I would be more inclined to head to Koh Kood to chill out after this 2020 business.

    Koh Kood with a cold beer and seafood sounds a great call.

    Having lived in Pattaya since the 90's I will say this is the best time to be here that I've ever seen, by far. No Chinese tour buses or Indians holding hands looking for discounts, no Koreans swarming golf courses like fucking locusts, no anyone else from any other countries playing tourist, and it's just brilliant

    There's more than enough bars and restaurants and shops open to cater to everyone, and they're really appreciative of what business they can get. All sorts of deals and specials going on that are almost too good to pass up, you really need to be a member of the various local food/entertainment groups at a time like this to be able to keep up. Haven't seen a BiB road-block since about February, traffic is so much lighter, have never see the beaches so clean and deserted, and the only time it gets a little busy is on long weekends when the Bangkok crowd saddle up for a 3-4 day road trip.

    Of course I'm fully aware of the financial burden Covid has created for so many people in Pattaya but like everywhere else in the world, they've had to adapt and figure out some way to tread water till this passes. But until it passes, I can't think of anywhere in the world I'd rather be right now
