But Big Bill is much more than just one good sex tourist<\/h3>\n
He’s a superstar when it comes to fuel injecting Thailand’s economy.\u00a0 Big Bill hired a Thai driver to drive him around in his car.\u00a0 But since Big Bill’s large condo has two bedrooms, he allows his driver to stay in his spare bedroom.\u00a0 So the Thai driver gets to stay in a beautiful condo for free.\u00a0 While collecting a 15000 baht a month salary.<\/p>\n
Big Bill also employs a Thai woman to clean his condo.\u00a0 She comes nearly everyday.\u00a0 And cleans for an hour or so.\u00a0 Then she goes back to her regular job.\u00a0 He pays her 5000 baht a month.<\/p>\n
So how many Thais is this one good sex tourist supporting?<\/h3>\n
Starting with his Thai girlfriend, he’s supporting her, her mother and father, her two children,\u00a0 one brother and two sisters.\u00a0 Then he’s supporting his Thai driver and his young daughter.\u00a0 And God knows how many extended family members the driver is helping out.\u00a0 There’s the cleaning gal,\u00a0 her two children, and her mother and father.\u00a0 \u00a0 So he’s supporting at least 14 Thais.\u00a0 But—keep in mind the ripple effect this all has on the Thai economy.\u00a0 All these Thais he’s supporting are supporting other Thais.\u00a0 Thais who own shops in the local markets.\u00a0 The beautician who does his girlfriend’s hair.\u00a0 \u00a0Clothing vendors all of these Thais buy from.<\/p>\n
Big Bill also spends a lot of money in Pattaya’s bars<\/h3>\n![\"One](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/alphapro.com\/funhouse\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/peppermint-go-go.jpg?resize=474%2C699&quality=60\")
Big Bill’s considered as one good sex tourist in most of the go go bars he frequents.\u00a0 This girl worked at Peppermint Go Go<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\nEspecially the go go bars.\u00a0 \u00a0He buys a lot of ladies drinks.\u00a0 And each time he buys a go go dancer a drink. she’s getting a 50 baht commission from the bar she’s working for.\u00a0 Oftentimes, Big Bill will take a wad of twenty baht bills and throw them at the go go girls.\u00a0 Whether most of us consider Big Bill to be a fool is not the issue.\u00a0 My point is he’s one good sex tourist.<\/p>\n
Yeah, I know.\u00a0 \u00a0A lot of people think Big Bill’s a real fool.\u00a0 But he’s got a huge heart.\u00a0 And he knows that when he dies he can’t take it all with him.\u00a0 But my whole point is this.\u00a0 Who’s worth more to Thailand’s economy?\u00a0 One good sex tourist like Big Bill?\u00a0 Or 100 Chinese tourists?<\/p>\n
So what are 100 Chinese tourists doing for the Thai economy?<\/h3>\n
First off most Chinese tourists go everywhere in large tour buses.\u00a0 And these large tour buses are too much for most city streets in Thailand.\u00a0 Such as Bangkok’s or Pattaya’s.\u00a0 \u00a0So they clog up the streets in the cities and slow traffic down to a snail’s pace.\u00a0 These tour buses also kill and injure a lot of people because of the incompetence of so many of their drivers.<\/p>\n
There’s nowhere to park all those large tour buses.\u00a0 So their drivers park them all along the cities streets.<\/p>\n
Road construction crews built all these traffic lanes to handle the needs of normal drivers.\u00a0 \u00a0And certainly not for bus parking lots.<\/h3>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/alphapro.com\/funhouse\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/noodle-shop-driving-1.jpg?resize=474%2C316&quality=60\")
Later on the passage way for cars will be severely constricted. The buses will be parked alongside both lanes.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nWhat we have here it a wholesale constriction of entire cities roads.\u00a0 Thanks to the huge proliferation of Chinese tourists.\u00a0 And this proliferation is rapidly spinning out of control.<\/p>\n
In fact, I might go so far as to say that the police and other authorities are selling entire traffic lanes so that the Chinese tour companies have a place to park their buses.<\/p>\n![\"One](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/alphapro.com\/funhouse\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/trafficjam.jpg?resize=474%2C316&quality=60\")
Chinese tour bus parking lot. Notice how dangerous this situation is. Not to mention that the traffic is slowed down to a crawl. I was nearly hit by a car while turning left into the left traffic lane due to the buses taking up the entire lane of traffic.\u00a0 Money is number one here<\/a>.\u00a0 Even at the expense of public safety.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nBut let’s get back to what 100 Chinese tourists really mean to the Thai economy.<\/p>\n
Approximately 45 Chinese tourists\u00a0 will fill up a single tour bus.\u00a0 So it takes two large tour buses to hold 90 Chinese tourists.\u00a0 Now just imagine how much traffic just two tour buses can screw up?\u00a0 Or how many meters of a single street it takes to park just two tour buses?<\/p>\n
How the Chinese Tour Bus System works<\/h3>\n
The average Chinese tourist doesn’t have a lot of money to spend.\u00a0 So here’s that happens.\u00a0 The typical Chinese tour company offers cut rate airfares to the droves of Chinese tourists now flocking to Thailand.\u00a0 So let me float out an arbitrary number out there.\u00a0 “How does $150 airfare sound to you, from Shanghai to Bangkok and Pattaya?\u00a0 Sounds good doesn’t it?\u00a0 Let’s now tack on another $75.00 for five nights in a hotel and total transportation costs by tour bus.\u00a0 That’s a total of just $225.00.<\/p>\n
But there’s a catch.\u00a0 And that is you must stay with your tour bus group.\u00a0 Well, even if you don’t, without your tour leader you will be lost in a city such as Pattaya or Bangkok.\u00a0 You can’t speak a word of Thai and chances are your English skills are absolutely worthless.<\/p>\n
So the tour bus takes you everywhere.\u00a0 And your fearless leader, your tour leader makes sure that you spend all your money in just the right places.<\/h3>\n
These are the places that will give your fearless leader a commission on every shirt, every pair of pants, every vase, every lunch or dinner that you now have to pay for out of your own pocket.<\/p>\n![\"One](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/alphapro.com\/funhouse\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/chinese-noodle-stand.jpg?resize=474%2C316&quality=60\")
An entire traffic lane sold to Chinese tourists who are gathering around a gerry-rigged noodle stand.\u00a0 I don’t want to hear any more b.s. about improving the public transportation system here.\u00a0 Perhaps One good sex tourist is worth 1000 of these Chinese tourists?\u00a0 The key is to require all tour buses to immediately discharge all tourists at whatever hotel they are staying in.\u00a0 And then have the buses\u00a0 leave town.\u00a0 The Chinese tourists will then have to use baht buses, their own two legs, private taxis etc to get around just like all the other tourists do.\u00a0 This will also help these Chinese tourists because it frees them from their manipulative tour leaders.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nSo the little makeshift noodle shops are now springing up everywhere.\u00a0 These are the places your fearless leader will be taking you.<\/p>\n
As for me, or my German, or even my Russian friends.\u00a0 None of us would ever be caught dead eating in these low life restaurants with their cardboard walls and cheap tin corrugated roofs.<\/h3>\n![\"One](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/alphapro.com\/funhouse\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/noodle-shop-building.jpg?resize=474%2C316&quality=60\")
This building is a real fleabag operation. No self respecting Thai would ever eat here.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nAs for well established businesses here in Pattaya such as Pattaya to U<\/a>\u00a0(for computer repair) or Best Camera Shop at Tuk.com<\/a>.\u00a0 Do you think these places will be getting any Chinese dollars?\u00a0 Never.\u00a0 And neither is the Naklua Pen Bar whose clientele is mostly German, American and English.\u00a0 Or a lot of good restaurants such as Heidelburg, Tavern, Robin Hood, Queen Victoria.<\/p>\nAnd speaking of Pen Bar, I have a little story on this one.<\/p>\n
Now I’ve known Pen for 12 years now.\u00a0 She’s Thai and she really knows how to run a bar.<\/p>\n
In comes a single solitary Chinese guy.\u00a0 Pen asks him if he wants a beer.\u00a0 The Chinese replies no.\u00a0 He must wait for his fearless tour guide leader to arrive with the rest of the tour group.\u00a0 Meanwhile a group of Germans are sitting at the bar.\u00a0 Who are buying their Heinekens for 90 baht a bottle.<\/p>\n
Finally the fearless\u00a0 leader of the tour group arrives.<\/h3>\n
“How much are you selling your beer for?” the Chinese fearless leader asks Pen.<\/p>\n
“90 baht” Pen replies.<\/p>\n
“I’ll bring my entire tour group in if you sell everyone bottled beer for 145 baht,” the fearless leader offers.\u00a0 “You and I can split the 55 baht so we each get 27 baht,” he adds.<\/p>\n
The problem is Pen is an honest Thai lady and she wants no part of this arrangement.\u00a0 The tour group’s fearless leader immediately departs taking his Chinese horde with him.<\/p>\n
So what happens to all those commissions the Chinese tour group leaders are getting?<\/h3>\n
Most of it’s going to their big bosses over in China.\u00a0 And this is how they are able to offer such cut rate\u00a0 air fares and hotel prices to all these Chinese armies of tourists who are inundating Bangkok and Pattaya.<\/p>\n
Rich people here in Thailand are getting even richer because of all this monkey business.\u00a0 While the common everyday Thai of little to modest means is getting screwed.\u00a0 He gets to put up with all the horrible traffic these tour buses are causing.\u00a0 He gets to see all these Chinese tourists dirty up his beaches, and his city’s parks, while they piss all over his sidewalks.<\/p>\n
Think I’m joking?<\/p>\n
I remember sitting at the Pen Bar one night when a single Chinese came into the small bar complex’s parking lot.<\/h3>\n
There’s a public restroom he could have used for just 5 baht.\u00a0 But he either didn’t know about it or simply didn’t care.\u00a0 So right at the far end of the parking lot he unzipped his pants and urinated right on the pavement.\u00a0 This was just thirty meters from all of us.\u00a0 In full view of the entire bar.\u00a0 I couldn’t restrain myself.\u00a0 And screamed\u00a0 out to him, “Asshole.\u00a0 You are a fucking idiot.”\u00a0 Thais lose respect for someone who loses his temper.\u00a0 But not this time.\u00a0 The entire bar applauded when I called\u00a0 the Chinese out for being a dirty pig.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/alphapro.com\/aprillooking10\/images\/20091125_395.jpg?resize=474%2C315&quality=60\")
I consider the Khao Kheow Zoo to be Pattaya’s best kept secret. It’s just 60 kilometers from Pattaya. And it’s so large you really need a golf kart to get around this zoo. Most Pattaya Hotels, tourist and agencies don’t even advertise it. Don’t get me wrong, there’s a lot of great parks and zoos here. But all that advertising goes to the Crocodile Farm, The Elephant Village and the Tiger Zoo which is also in Siracha. But trust me, this zoo in the absolute finest of them all by a long shot.
