No offense but its difficult to know what comments you want us to make about this.

Between the fact that you are guessing and the fact that you don't claim to have them in order,it boils down to basically a list of countries.

 

I don't know what else to say.

[bluechef]

Ah an expert, like all experts they know every thing about nothing and not a lot about that, until you have been stop dreaming

Answer the question that's in the thread title.

Well i looked at stats of tourist arrivals by nationality at Bangkok's international airport so my guessing is not completely random... I thought a "Pattaya Guru" would know the answer.

I never claimed to be an expert that's why i'm asking you guys.

Then why are you obsessing over demographics ? does it matter? simple answer no. if you don't like a particular nationality just avoid them.

[Dalef65]

Well said bluechef.

I'm not obsessing, i'm just a curious person and interested in stats/rankings.

Lets be honest it is very hard to tell at times! what about putting chinese, indians, middle eastern gang on your list, at times there seems to be lots of them floating about aswell.

[Scuba+]

Yeah not sure why you'd leave out Asia. Chinese tourists are getting very common, down BR and WS at least.

 

Indians and middle eastern guys seem to taking up more and more of the pavement.

 

I'd say top 3 is American, Australian and English over the year. Russians are mainly xmas NY period.

[Crushed]

I'd put the Swiss higher.

[OMB]

Are we talking about expats or tourists or combined?

[user305]

This is purely anecdotal but in my travels through Thailand I'd put Brits, Australians, Germans, Swedes, Russians, Indians, Japanese, Koreans, and Chinese ahead of Americans.  Keep in mind that Americans have zero guaranteed vacation days, have to travel further at higher total cost than the others, and are raised in a culture that is extremely intolerant of paid sex and highly suspicious of anything related to sex tourism.

[sinbad5]

Based purely on anecdote /people I meet, I would have to say 1. English, 2. Aussies 3. Daylight, if you mean mongers and sexpats.

[Pattaya_Brian]

An interesting query with no real way to answer it other than getting your hands on visitor statistics from immigration.

 

Based on what I generally see in the city and keeping it simple:

 

1. Western Europeans

2. British (especially in the winter)

3. Arabs

4. Australians

5. Indian/Pakistanis

6. Americans

7. Eastern Europeans/Russians.

Combined.

Hardly worth a bun

There are a lot more Americans than you realise. It's just they are the shy retiring type so you don't notice them as much 

[WoWuk]

OP.

On what basis did you compile this ridiculous list ? 

Was it on the basis you've never been here ?

Did you pluck the countries from a monkeys' anus ? 

Why would you put Ruskies top-of-list ?

Bye.

Well all i heard when i was walking the streets of Patong was Russian and all the Thais said "its even more bad in Pattaya, there they have so much mafia and bars". 

At least i did an effort to answer the thread question, where is your ranking?

Like half of those Malaysians only go to Hat Yai.

I think that visitor expenditure list is not correct... i mean 466k Russian visitors spend more than 675k Japanese visitors, can't believe that.

[Peeping Tom]

Lots of Swiss and Norwegians living here.
