Best way he reckons, bearing in mind the vast number of Falang bullshitters living in Pattaya.

Whats your experience?

Like Ga, I've only done it once and it was half and half, basically the smokers all spoke to each other (cos you get used to chatting with strangers when you get herded into little smoking pens over here with the other second class citizens) and the non smokers just blanked everyone.

Of the guys I spoke to there were 2 bar owners using it as an opportunity to load up on cheap spirits and a bloke who'd taken voluntary redundancy and was building his own house out towards Ban Chang. Pretty much everyone on the bus was a Brit I think.
