Daily Express to revive Pattaya tourists industry?

[Mr. Pumpy]

You've got to love the Express

SEEDY REALITY BEHIND LAND OF SMILES

 

 

This is being reported due to the attention to The Cumbria Killer Derrick Bird:

"Although details of Derrick Bird’s jaunts to Thailand with friends remain scant, he’s reported to have clashed with them after paying a large amount of money to a local woman."

[ljc]

It must of been all the sexy thai ladies that turned him into a fucking nutter with 2 guns driveing around killing innocent people,and as for the paper they will try and get anything they can on him,i still love the place anyway.

[El Cata]

This 'comic' does not even deserve any sort of recognition. It is a right wing nazi 'newspaper' read by morons. The writer obviously has obviously had a chip on his shoulder about Pattaya for some considerable amount of time. I suppose that they'll blame asylum seeker taxi drivers next, for taking his job & driving him mad.

 

I hope that the smidgeon of smug self satisfaction that this 'person' receives is enough to assuage the extra pain & humiliation that the family will have to endure.

 

What a complete cock!

 

Peace.

Adrian Lee goes on like Thailand is the only place in the world that has a seedy side to it, FFS, i would like to know how many hookers Derrick Bird visited in the UK, Why not write about that?

 

There is scumbags in every corner of the globe and Thailand is no different, saying that, i still feel 100% safer walking down the street in Pattaya than i ever would walking the streets of london at night.

Ignorant reporter....!!!

Maybe he (the writer) need to come Pattaya and enjoy a bit Paradise.

[The Seeker]

Well spotted, Mr Pumpy, the writer must have orgasmed when he found out that the psycho Derrick Bird had gone to the LOS. At the end of the day sensationalism sells papers.

 

The article seems a pretty accurate account of the place. But, it always seems strange why writers focus on the“middle-aged western men” with “balding heads and paunches” who are looking for fun with the ladies. Pattaya, as we know, is full of mongerers of all ages, looks and sizes.

 

Maybe it is not as sensational enough for the newspaper writers if they wrote about young guys looking for young girls, or maybe they wouldn't understand why younger guys would go thousands of miles to pay for sex with girls around the same age. Also, he writes as if most of the money is coming in from Russia. Really?

Maybe he has, fell in love and got burnt from a bargirl

[Pattaya Robbo]

Well as he said, for someone like me it's bloody paradise and thailand should be seeing a rise in tourism now, the thai authourities will be thanking him. It also seems he's either done his homework or probably had many a holiday there himself, fucking knobhead!!!!

I was thinking that myself. It all seems too accurate to be research based. I think that the author may have rubbed shoulders with the likes of Gary Glitter and Josef Fritzl in a Soi 6 bar before now, purely in the interests of research, you understand………….

Hmmm, I have to say that reads as a pretty accurate description of Pattaya to me - certainly from the viewpoint of an onlooker.

i reckon thats whats happened, he knows a bit about the P4P scene, barfines, shortime rooms, gfe, etc...the report is maybe his little vendetta against pattaya

As there are so many people on this thread that obviously disagree with this newspaper article - How many would be prepared to do an interview and put their point across? In other threads people have said they don't give a damn what others think but would they all duck and hide when a camera came out? I think there would be very few if any that would go along with it.

 

Until such time it will always be a one sided opinion of the men that come to Thailand and the fact they are all old, bald overweight etc. All bar girls will also be tarred with the same brush as UK street hookers with drug problems; it's easier for people to form these opinions as they are ignorant.

 

It amazes me how many form opinions of a place that they have never been to and the people that go there.

 

Would I do an interview – Possibly with the right producer but I doubt it.

 

Perhaps I should have started a new thread and done a poll but I think it would just be one solid blue line that says 'no way'.

What Happens to Thailand's Sex Tourism During the Riots?

It takes a lot of violence to drive the sexpats away

By Jessica Olien

 

BANGKOK: -- Downtown Bangkok has finally stopped smoldering, but a curfew is still in effect after anti-government protesters looted and burned downtown for over two months. The shaky calm has both Thai officials and millions of men all over the world asking: Is it safe enough for sex tourism yet?

 

Thailand's sex trade, which pumps millions of dollars into the Thai economy, has taken a big hit since the protests began this spring. Thailand was once paradise for these men—among them fetishists and pedophiles—but the spell has since been broken. No one really wants their exotic intercourse interrupted by machine-gun fire or beer runs inconvenienced by police checkpoints, although some are, of course, willing to live with it if that's what it takes. Frustrated sex tourists are now being forced to cancel their vacations or wait it out in their cheap rented rooms until the party starts up again.

 

I came to Bangkok in early May to cover the red-shirt protests and ran into many sex tourists not quite ready to throw in the towel. Most of the men I met in the city's sex districts back then, before the violence began in earnest in the city center, brushed off the conflict completely. They were sure it wouldn't get bad—this is mellow, eager-to-please Thailand, after all—and continued on their merry boozing and screwing ways. Patpong, Thailand's most famous sex district, had been closed by demonstrations, but there were always other places to go to.

 

The mood turned somber after what happened around Nana Plaza. A popular, multistoried complex of go-go bars featuring women wearing numbers pinned to crotchless bikini bottoms who stare vacantly and listlessly sway against metal poles, the place was suddenly surrounded with razor-wire and signs designating the area a "live-fire zone." Now it was harder to keep up the fantasy, and Thailand's problems were suddenly the problem of every sex tourist from Japan to Germany. The curfew, which went into effect last week, also shut down Pattaya, a town a few hours southeast of Bangkok, where it seems the entire local economy revolves around the sex trade and which is known for tolerating prostitution by underage boys and girls.

Adrian Lee have small brain like his small dick, he's probably been turned down by every BG's LB's etc in Patts/Phuket/Bangkok/AC/Amsterdam/Rotterdam/Hamburg in fact every place on the planet LOL!

[cariden]

did any man say that about a 6 year old girl.. i think the reporter made that up..

reason why they will never get the story straight is the only people that agree to talk to them are the really stupid ones. the rest of us know that they twist words so we sound dumb.

[Hallmark]

Daily Express

 

Same old same old I think.As soon as you've been to Thailand you're a child molesting pervert.

He's one out of thousands that come here,do we go back and murder people ? That reporter ought to be looking closer to home for reasons as I understand that Bird had serious tax issues and was looking at doing time.

And why did they show a photo of two pig ugly ladyboys ? They wouldn't look out of place in the front row of a rugby scrum.

All bollocks and bullshit again and I believe the sun ran a similar story too.

[swissbanker]

A the end of the day it will work out as one big ad for Pattaya. It describes in detail what's on offer and how cheap.

Agree with you there. Also, allegedly the last time Bird went to Pattaya was in 2005!

Why shouldn't middle aged western men come to Thailand for fun with ladies ? The real issue here is "have a look at middle aged western ladies "

Wearing the burka should be compulsory for most of them.

 

 

I was shocked and dismayed to hear that Pattaya was full of prostitutes . Will just have to go back for a 7 th look

[Samui]

Any excuse the British press get to slag off Pattaya they jump at the chance.

 

This nob reporting seems to know to much tho,

[monkeyman]

I think they may have a point. I mean, can any of you honestly say that that you haven't come back from Pattaya and had the urge to shoot your solicitor?

[The Laird o' Crichie]

Factual, concise, observant. How can any self-respecting monger possibly take offense at this balanced and well written article?

 

Ah yes, of course there's those among us that came here for the Sunday choir practise, bingo, fabulous seafood, wonderful cuisine and second-to-none real estate investment opportunities.

[bigbri73]

can somebody please tell me which part of the article is incorrect ? it seems very accurate to me.
