Looking For A Fight In Walking Street

[nigelandjan]

Where my ex came from in Drumchapel you wouldnt wanna walk around there at 2pm let alone at night

[Scottish Gary]

it's like everything, too much money and mafia involved, the stakes are high

the number of expensive bars that have been built to launder money,

then you have Tonys and his clique, it's like Al Capone in Chicago

The average age of the tourist has dropped as well. I see groups of young guys walking about who not that long ago would have spent there holidays in Ibiza or Corfu. Mix the arrogance of youth and alcohol and its an explosive mixture. Then throw in the worlds weirdos, desperado's, nutters and fantasists that Pattaya attracts and its like a time bomb.

how does a Saturday night in Glasgow rank in the fighting ?

The usual, beat the living shite out of each other with beer bottles then off for a deep fried mars bar and a little kiss to make up.

And thats just the woman

Picking a fight on Walking Street? Shouldn't be too difficult.

Just walk up to a newly loved up couple in one of those round bars and proudly annouce "Aup, chap..that wench there swallowed a good half dozen pints of my muck last year, enjoy"..

[tonyroma]

lots of drongos in pattaya at the moment . nobody back home but big time here for 5 minutes

[r1 pet]

you talkin to me pall

[FrankTAdams]

I never understood the need to fight... especially in a location where there so many entertaining alternatives.

I took a couple of old mates from back home and first timers to Thailand down Walking Street last Tuesday. They thought it was incredible. Personally i wish i still had the same starry eyed wonder about the place but im so bored with Pattaya now i was happy to return up here to my wee village. The place is a rip off and full of absolute twats.

"carrying a couple of imaginary carpets under your arms"

[Finney64]

^ just watching series 8 at the mo , Mickey M just gets better , & you're right , that turn of phrase could've been invented for him .

Sorry to break it for you but is it possible that it always has been like this and you were one of them,until you lost your pink glasses.

[sunsetter]

^no .........

[nevets]

Not as bad as Birmingham any night of the week , and anyway why have the Thai mafia/police alowed Pataya to be taken over by these no mark tossers from the UK/Europe.
Why arn't they feeding the crabs with their bodys like the old days.

My ex pat mate was telling me there was a huge brawl outside Insomnia involving Farangs,Thai and Arabs on Xmas eve and that got me thinking.
Is there any street in the world where so much testosterone flies about as Walking St ?
We have all seen the big steroid body builders fresh out of Tony's Gym, the English football hooligans with there Burberry caps and beer bellies, the guys who have spent a week learning Muay Thai and have the t shirt to prove it, the drunken idiots who think 10 bottles of Chang turns them into Mike Tyson, the Large Russians who think walking through you instead of around you is perfectly acceptable, the mad Arabs driven insane by lust and hatred at the same time. Then we also have most of the worlds special forces living in Pattaya as well as top london gangsters.

Yep its all there in Fun City.

What i find funny and puzzling is the need to swagger up and down sticking your chest out in a tight t shirt or none at all carrying a couple of imaginary carpets under your arms and barging into people. Who are they trying to impress ? Either themselves , other men or Thai females. Either way its a sad way to spend your holiday.

Its nothing compared to Canadian night life. There is gun shootings and fights every night. Lets see what happens when I google Vancouver shooting.

Bouncer shot at Vancouver nightclub Feb 13 2011 Thats today actually.....

I can honestly say that during my 20 odd years of visiting Walking Street I have never seen a fight let alone an all in brawl.

Then again I hardly venture down that neck of the woods these days and I have heard it is getting quite dangerous if you venture into the wrong areas.

I have never seen a fight either. The OP doesn't see much nightlife outside of Pattaya. If he did he would realize that walking street is no comparison to the shot that goes on in the west.

I don't deny the mix of the people you are describing but they are actually tame considering.

[drawp]

The crowd is younger, of course that's going to put off some of the older punters.

For once I have to agree with Socal, Walking Street is actually tame compared to most of the western alternatives, but I guess this is an age thing, unfortunately I'm quite young compared to most here and this all seems common for me.

[Rob Jones]

If all these posers on walking Street were that desirable why are they flying half way around the world for pussy.

[Smug Farang Bore]

Soi Bangla in Phuket is getting bad too.

As someone said 10 years ago it was beer n birds.
Now they all want to fight.
