Boo Radley Posted January 3, 2014 Report Share Posted January 3, 2014 ...Increasing numbers of Britons are spending their sunset years in the Thai resort of Pattaya. The numbers of British residents aged over 65 in the town has risen by 43 per cent in the last two years - but is it paradise lost?... http://youtu.be/oQgarHW2iPA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gobbledonk Posted January 3, 2014 Report Share Posted January 3, 2014 Why the hell do Poms insist on mispronouncing Pattaya ? It's a Thai town with a Thai name - albeit a town dominated by foreigners - I'm happy to pronounce it the same way the Thais do. I'll die long before I become anyone in that video - including the Swedes in the retirement home. Depressing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gobbledonk Posted January 3, 2014 Report Share Posted January 3, 2014 For those who cant get enough of old codgers who think they've landed in Paradise, skip about 5:30 into this vid: AC makes Pattaya look like 5th Avenue in NYC, and our documentary-maker friend clearly has problems deciphering the broad Aussie accent. The gentleman in question would be lucky to find a drinking buddy at the RSL in Oz - in AC, he seems to be living the life of Riley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WorldFun Posted January 6, 2014 Report Share Posted January 6, 2014 and indeed pattaya must be nicer than AC which really looks like a shithole...makes even manila or at least some parts like makati look charming Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Munchmaster Posted January 7, 2014 Report Share Posted January 7, 2014 Only been to the Philippines (Manila) once, in the late 90's,and thought it was a shithole, and have never wanted to go back and that video certainly won't change my mind. PS I hope the old Aussie leaves Jenny plenty of cash when he cops it as she will certainly deserve it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gobbledonk Posted January 21, 2014 Report Share Posted January 21, 2014 He keeps pics of his grandkids in the same album as his 'wank bank' - tragic. Jenny deserves a freaking medal, bargirl or no - even as a mail-order bride she could have done better in Oz. Some of the women I see wandering the main street here with decrepit old farmers look like they fell out of an ugly tree and hit every branch on the way down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
