The extent of your expat knowledge may be greater than mine. I've been reading this forum for five years, including multiple threads on the Philippines, and formed the impression that most expats went there to find wives. I'm sure I don't need to list all the people here who have contributed to that impression. So when you say that nobody would go there except for whore mongering, that's really the first time I've heard that. I knew it was there in the Philippines, but only you have said that it's the whole program. Maybe it's time to check the old cynicism levels to see if we're not overboiling with it.MrPeabody wrote: I was just curious that everyone seemed startled that they woke up in the morning and somehow ended up in the Philippines or Pattaya and didn't know how they got there.
As for Pattaya, all I knew about it when I scheduled the trip was that it was sixty miles south of Bangkok, on the sea, and had been an R&R destination from Vietnam. Before leaving I started to get an idea from reading up that it was a monger destination. Not until I got here did I realize that it is hell on earth.
Apparently you already knew all this stuff. Please feel free to post often about such venues when you have special insight. It would be very helpful.
