This may actually surprise you but not everyone wants to live in the nightlife Disneyland atmosphere of Pattaya and perfer something a little more laid back.
If you like Pattaya then that's fine and enjoy but I would much prefer something a little more low key..
And some people enjoy mixing with other Expats and I understand that..
Personally it doesn't bother me one way or the other really and I am free to choose my friends local or Expat..
