    I was in a coffee shop group in Pattaya for a year or so. We would meet up a couple of times a week. In that time, almost all of them fell out with each other. Too much time on their hands, very strong opinions about the local culture and local people, gossiping about other peoples girlfriends, and a large degree of inequality- some of them plenty of money and some struggling.

      Pattaya was just a small fishing village before the Vietnam war. It then turned into a popular R & R destination for soldiers on a break from the war. And people came from all over Thailand to make money there. Hasn't changed in that way.

    My best mate of 20 years from Blackpool who I met in Koh Samui in 2005 overstayed 8 years. He took shelter in so many bars and and eventually lived on the beach in style. He was such a nice and friendly guy. Loved by many around the world and by the local Thai people. Papa Chaweng. RIP.

    If a homeless overstayer got arrested they wouldn't just put him back on the street. The embassy would work with them to get a temp passport to deport him, and they would try and get family to pay for return or last resort woukd pay for ticket and he'd have a government debt.

    "Do not give money to the beggars."
    ...
    This may not be directly related to the video, but I want to warn all foreigners in Thailand. Most beggars in Thailand are not Thai, and they are organized either by individuals or crime gangs. In fact, if you are not mentally ill, you will not become homeless in Thailand. Thailand is a collective society where people tend to help each other. In case you have no money at all, you can 1) go back and live with your family or relatives, 2) go to temples for free food and temporary shelters, 3) find a job (which is relatively easy to find compared to many countries).
    ...
    "Giving them a money is equal to supporting human traffickings."
    ...
    Many people from neighboring countries were tortured and forced to be beggars in Thailand. Giving them money will increase the number of victims of this type of crime. The more you give adult beggars with young kids, it means more unfortunate kids will be kidnapped, or forced to be on the street.
    ...
    The Thai government has been campaigning for more than a decade for not to give money to the beggars. There were countless cases of beggar-related human trafficking crimes.

    So 30 secs in we are talking about a guy who ran a bar in Pattaya, Geezer Bar. "He done quite well". After years of experience I have immediately profiled this scenario. It takes no experience to open bar in Thailand, and most of these guys have zero business experience, limited funds, no assets, no plan. It is all inevitable. Broke, alcoholic, desperate. To be honest these guys would be on a similar path back home as well - no hopers.

    Expath in Pattaya lost it all went broke. Conman in Pattaya. Why is this tragic? when its 100% predictable, almost known after a few hours or nights out there. Its a life show with real people. Very obvious.
    This is why the Thai authorities tidy up and enforce existing and new rules on expaths. They dry it out or make it only affordable for holidays. Asian countries are not welfare countries like Europe. Things have in fact consequences.
