Been in Pattaya Too Long

Updated June 14, 2019 By Darren C

I’m not saying it’s time to leave Pattaya but here are a few signs, symptoms, traits and habits of people who have stayed in Pattaya a long time, and in some cases definitely too long. I tried to keep this list specific to Pattaya rather than cover the broader spectrum of habits and eccentricities of people who’ve stayed in Thailand too long.

  • You are able to politely inform people that they jumped the queue and so reclaim your place.
