Pattaya The Farang City

Pattaya Thailand is a Thai city but at times it seems more like a farang city. It is a city of farang tourists, sex tourists and sex pats. Many farang males come to this city and never leave, they find an apartment or buy a condo, get a Thai girlfriend or just find one every night at a different bar, their lives here often revolve around drinking, eating and sex.

I find Thai people much more aggressive here as well, their is a hunger for money and quite often a rudeness an abruptness that you do not feel in other parts of Thailand. I also noticed this ruder type behavior in the bar areas of Bangkok. The sex scene hardens everyone (the sex worker, the sex tourist, the normal Thai workers around the scene), some people still smile, some people are still polite but there is more of a harsh edge to everything. After experiencing Thai people in the real Thailand the subtle changes in behavior I feel here in Pattaya are not so subtle!

After 2 days in Pattaya I am ready to get out of here.
