This travel guide! Writes but actually the Baedeker: Cultural offers in Pattaya are rather sparse, most likely this gap will be two internationally renowned Transvestitenshows filled. " Have never heard because of the six Rotary Clubs, which houses the spa? Nothing from the "Power Jam" in the Moon River Pub - the dashing slogan "Let's Fetz?
The authors do not know the German Gourmet Club, the musician George Hilbert, the last Saturday of every month at the German House "popular hits and hit" play? Not to mention salsa classes, the "Pattaya International Music Festival" or the "German Plauderstunde". If the culture is not!
The author of this quote should perhaps once with Elfi Seitz, 63, taken before they write such Schmarrn. This would tell them what. Elfi Seitz is editor in chief of the weekly
"Pattaya sheet", edition of about 5000 pieces. She lives for 32 years in the city. And why? But not because of the many bars and brothel Transvestitenshows, but "because so much else going on, even culturally." Elfi Seitz says at least. And that is why it had to be said.
Your bad reputation, the city is still not happening so quickly. He is stubborn as an untreated gonorrhea. "Good guys come in to heaven, bad to Pattaya" is not random on the T-shirts, which they sell over here.
Before Elfi Seitz lands here, the city was little more than a fishing village with operating a brothel. The Vietnam War GIs enjoyed stressed in Pattaya, one and a half hours' drive south of Bangkok. U Tapao, very close, was her Thai Air Force base and Pattaya somehow the stage, before it is back in the jungle war went. The city was one sin Pfuhl.
Replenishment from Germany
Elfi from Munich on their arrival had no glimmer of the shady goings. Zivilisationsmüde - "stupid and naive" - she moved together with a friend into the adventure. Of course, the two quickly lost their illusions. That there is in the restaurants of young single women swarmed the only way, had nothing directly to do with the emancipation from the home, the feminists raved. The girls here waiting rather that "Bumsbomber" escalated their human cargo. It was the time when Neckermann, TUI, and the gap filled by the American friends left behind. And they succeeded quite well.
LAST EXIT ...
In the South Seas, the Caribbean or the Pacific? Reaching the Cape of Good Hope or to Koh Lanta? In the Moloch of Bangkok or Beijing? German emigrants to make their dream of a new life true.
What drives them? What do they want in the distance? Issues facing blogs correspondent Thilo Thielke in his column "Last Exit ..." after it.
In the city fell Elfi Seitz, despite the wild goings. "It was so beautiful" - here she wanted to stay a while. They first opened a restaurant, then a tailor, had finally next accounting also learned design. Elfi Seitz remained, even as the year was over, the stay they had made.
The town grew up with, incessantly. Where once a small fishing harbor, was the "Walking Street, Pattaya" geile mile "with all the Gogo bars and sex shows. Pubs and grills chicken suppressed the jewelers and tailors, for which the town was once famous. After the fall of the Iron Curtain brought even the Russian mafia, and tons of vodka karrte approached. "Today," says Elfi Seitz, "are officially 100,000 people live in the city, but there are many more, certainly more than half a million."
Many Europeans, retired as backpackers, overwinter here without a residence permit to have. Many girls earn here and are still in their home province registered. In Pattaya meet so Iserlohn and Isaan, and everywhere sprout delicate buds of love. The American author Jon Dennis, who was a phenomenon in a self-experiment approached him, gives them in his travel novel "The Butterfly Trap" eloquent Client: "How you mean? Where you come from and how long you stay ... you handsome man, Mr . Jon. ... I like you darling, we have fun. "
"There are many decent and good people here, including Europeans," says Elfi Reitz, "and many charity events insane." If more want to know, you have only the "Pattaya Blatt" impact. "One and a half million baht to change the owner" is the thick balken headline on page one. It is about a donation of just under 32,000 euros to the German and the Swiss Ambassador to the Child Protection and Development Center in Pattaya presents have.
From gossip to crime news
Other Top stories deal with the accidental death of Peter Alexander's daughter Susanne on Koh Samui, the sinking of a tourist boat, with 30 people on board prior to Phuket and a python, which is nestled in a beer bar has. In the "Mailbox" complained a German readers have been caused by the activities of its erotic Thaifrau after he had supplied them financially: "At night went to the beauty while he slept but an instant."

YOUR OPINION IS ASKED
Discuss about this article
You can learn a lot in Pattaya, there Elfi Seitz, especially how easily manipulated men sometimes. "If they say 'Hello Darling, handsome man', melt it formally." Particularly offensive finds the bustle yet. Many girls were just "very clever" and understand it, "a good life to secure." On the palm brings them only if 70-year-old seniors still masse children in the world, which a little later to be the mother.
Elfi Seitz must now continue. "Dates," she groans, charity events, music festival, will still represent somewhere. The reporter living in Pattaya can be quite tiring.
