How do you deal with extortionists?

[Smiles]

You serious? This kind of shiz is common in Pattaya? How lovely.

Ohhh, that's just the tip of the iceberg. I could go on for pages, and pages, just like I'm sure many people on this board could too. This is one fucked up city, that's for sure.

Nothing like this has ever happened to me in Hua Hin, over 3 years of living here.
I don't recall anyone who lives in Pattaya having described experiences such as you relate (either on the Board, or in person)... and I'm absolutely certain they would if it had of happened.

I agree with you that Pattaya can probably be described as somewhat fucked up ~ you can thank the sex tourist industry for that ~ but I think you hang out with a lot of the wrong dudes ... never a great idea in a fucked up city.
