As a farang, you're just as welcome in the karaoke bars and clubs. Only some Chinese-only places would refuse a white guy.

Meanwhile, whereas Indians might see themselves not being able to enter certain bars in Pattaya or Bangkok, they are more than welcome in the Malaysian-oriented bars.

I'd never live in Pattaya or Bangkok, or Chiang Mai/far north for that matter, due to a variety of reasons. The south suits me best.

@Paul ******
And why would that even matter?

At least the deep south is still authentic, unlike a place like Pattaya. I prefer authenticity over tourist traps.

FYI, Sadao is the district. Ban Dannok (or Dan Nok) is the actual border town. Malaysian men coming for quick fun don't venture north of Dannok into Sadao proper.

There are many foreigners living there: mostly Filipinos, Africans and a lot of Arabs. Narathiwat even has an American community of missionaries. Never heard of any of them getting in trouble with insurgents.

Ever heard of Dannok? Plenty to see and do there.

Living here, one learns to avoid the military and police. If there's any danger, it is becoming collateral damage.

As sad as something like that is, it doesn't make it more dangerous for a random person. Since the last few years the violence has subsided significantly. I would feel less safe in a place like Pattaya than I do in Narathiwat.
