Pattaya is hell. I absolutely despise that city. It's the trashiest party city in the world. If you go to Thailand, for the love of God, avoid Pattaya and Phuket. There's literally thousands of better places to visit.

So just so I'm understanding correctly. The long line of women are hookers? And are literally trying to force clients?

They are bar girls, trying to get guys into the bars to buy drinks.

There are lots of hookers but not these. These are just girls trying to drag you to shitty bars and often scamming you into buying drinks for them too.

I had a great time in Koh Samui. Definitely didn’t see shit like this while I was there

Even in phuket depends on where you go. There are some really pretty parts of Phuket.

Seems like if you go down this street, you know what you're getting yourself into

This is the opposite direction of an onlyfans society

It’s borderline part of the tourist experience to be treated like this.

That said, they’re far more ruthless about it since the last time I was there in 2013
