Bazle Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 For anyone in Pattaya over the next two weeks, you should be aware that the annual Cobra Gold military exercises, with US, Thai and other forces, are taking place between 12 and 23 February. This usually results in quite a few US military personnel spending their time around Walking Street. They might also be around for a few days after the exercises finish. http://www.pacom.mil/Media/News/News-Article-View/Article/1744312/exercise-cobra-gold-2019-to-kick-off-on-february-12-2019/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thinkingallowed Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 Good info mate. To be honest the couple of times I've been in bars in Pattaya and Phuket where US military personnel have been I've always found them to be good company and a credit to their country. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sangsom Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 This used to be the annual panic thread by the oldies that the town was going to be full of young guns for a while 🤣 Seems the youngster are part and parcel of Patts visitors these days. In before someone says.......I never paid for sex when I was young! 👴🏻 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misteregg Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 Had three of them in my place tonight. Each ordered three shots of Patron Anejo. That’s nine shots of my most expensive liquor. Paid up and left. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boydeste Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 I am usually in town during their visits and have never seen any issues relating to them and as said before they are very chatty and friendly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couldn't agree more....., other than the fact that they are obviously military personnel just in civvies I have always found them to be very friendly when out and about. They are much lower profile than my memories of their visits in the late 80's and early 90's here and when I was living in the P.I. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bazle Posted February 13, 2019 Author Share Posted February 13, 2019 I took a stroll down Walking Street this afternoon, just before 5pm. The beer bars, mainly Simon Complex and the carousel one in Soi Diamond, were heaving with them. I wonder what WS will be like this evening.

coxyhog Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 I was in Pattaya a couple of times in the 80's when a carrier & a few escort ships anchored in the bay.Not sure how many hit the beach at once but it seemed like thousands.They always took some back in boxes & once a Captain was found with his throat cut in the Royal Cliff.Another time a guy pulled a Thai cops pistol from his holster so the other Thai cop there shot him dead. But by and large they were well behaved and there were some very large shore patrol guys carrying large nightsticks if they weren't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bazle Posted February 21, 2020 Author Share Posted February 21, 2020 I've seen several groups of US military in town today. I guess they are the advance parties. As Coxyhog said earlier, it will be interesting to see what impact Covid19 has on things. Imagine one of the guys picking up the virus when on shore, and how it would spread on board ship. Will the military authorities risk that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn’t mention US military as they don’t like it and aren’t allowed to talk about it, but it was obvious. When US Navy called port in HKG, you had banners "Welcome US Navy" or "Welcome USS xxx" in most bars. Guys made ne secret who they were, and happy to have a chat. Guys, sadly for them have strict rules, and what surprised me most ..followed them. Of course with the new CIC relations with Bejing, it's been some time since one visited. Many moons ago, had some good evening with them in Pusan, South Korea. There is absolutely no reason why they should not be proud of what they are. Same as any military. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To each his own way .. LOL ! ... It’s because he has a big head and traps off about how awesome he is......if he was so awesome he would be getting younger girls without paying a bean. I also remember him saying said the reason he moved to Thailand was because he couldn’t get any chicks in the US that ‘wasn’t obese’ despite his cash and awesomeness 🙄 he needs to make his mind up ffs..... Most of us here do/have paid for hookers and it is what it is so we are in no position to have any moral ground over anyone else. It’s just his incessant boasting about how awesome he is that deserves ridicule. I get that you are his mate, but sorry where I see someone spouting bollox I’m going to take the piss out of them despite who they are friends with. The moral of the story is get it quietly and don’t mouth off despite how awesome and successful you think you are 🙄 Edited February 23, 2020 by Sangsom 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
