ThomasThBKK Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 4 hours ago, SiSePuede419 said: "These guys are thais, with thai passports from a sikh heritage and came to thailand many many moons ago. The nana owner are also Thais, just because they have indian heritage doesn't make they are non thai - they have thai passports after all and were born here..." Wrong. If one or more parents weren't Thai, they're not Thai. No such thing as Thais of "Indian descent". Thailand is not America. There is no citizenship by birth, only "blood". https://www.legal.co.th/resources/visa-immigration-law/nationality-law/are-children-born-thailand-automatically-thai-citizens/ Sure, that's why they have their own wikipedia page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sikhism_in_Thailand They came here in the 19 hundreds dude, as tons of chinese - sino-thais: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thai_Chinese and tons of persian-thais like the bunnag family: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bunnag_family and tons of other groups. They are all THAI, they have thai passports nowadays, except some hilltribes. Same as some on this forum are THAI now because they got Thai citizenship and thus the same rights as other Thais after working here. Must be a hard concept to understand. 3 hours ago, Don Mega said: What was ThomasTHBKK dribbling on about then? You lack reading comprehension obviously. I said that guy is a random indian and cannot be compared to the Thai Sikh as they are Thai citizens, and very well integrated and they run a wide network of businesses in Thailand. Many of those came to Pattaya in the 70s when Tourism started from other thai provinces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really, so it is the racist farangs who make the multicultural Thai guest house and small hotel owners turn away Indian tourists, saying they are full when they are at least half-empty. Never realised that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree - WS is for tourists and the occasional visit. LKM and Bhukaow area are for those of us who either live in Patts or visit regularly and know the value of a Baht! I took my mate who paid his first ever visit to Pattaya this year to as many places as I could in 3 weeks (quite a lot!). Without me suggesting my opinion, he decided that WS was as I said above. I think this Avenue venture might end up like "Action Street" - ie the street with NO action, although, to be fair Avenue is better situated. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was one of the many green and natural areas that was once in the area (like the field in 1991 with one beer bar in it where Kiss Food and Drink is now) which have all been turned into concrete. They were the relaxing and fun days of Pattaya. Glad I am out of there now... Too bad it had to change in such a dramatic way... I think that resort was called the Palm villa.

Jim P Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 Certainly Scott Griffiths isn`t an Indian. Him and his then ladyboy partner were once the subject of a Pattaya documentary when they had sensations bar. He then became the face of The Roof which is a bar that currently resides in the Avenue Mall and it looks like now he is the spokesman for this current consortium.

A number of "get rich quick" Indian businessmen operating out of Azerbaijan, which has become the "money cleaning" capital of the world of late, with heavy involvment from Russians and Iranians. I've often wondered if that's why we see so many empty Indian restaurants in Pattaya and more continuing to open. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its in totally the wrong area of Pattaya, neither near enough to Walking St or LK Metro. It needs passing customers from those locations to have any chance of success and they are not just around the corner. It will fail and most of the bars will close within 6 months, just wait and see.

It's not going to happen i heard the same story some years ago LK metro becoming the new ''walking street'' and the actual walking street going to be desmolished (at least the seaside and all the illegal building on it) and replaced by a nice and large walk from the new amazing condo Waterfront and the fantastic new marina and all connected to the new amazing remodeled Pattaya beach walk and blablabla all hot air as usual and a big failure for everything at the end and a large amount of money who disapear in big local pockets Pattaya will be never the ''riviera'' of the south east asia Edited December 17, 2019 by kingofthemountain 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
