I’ve been twice and never had any issues, but I kept things low-key in public. Locals were generally friendly, and tourist areas felt safe as long as you’re respectful.

They're spinning tales about bypassing that pesky waiting period, but it's all bollocks. Not a chance in hell they can do that. So if you hear about sites like UK-renewpassport.net promising to expedite things, steer clear! They're just trying to part you from your hard-earned quid. Also, you might want to check out this how to get a fake ID website. They have some solid options there.

A friend told me that I would be impressed in Pattaya, but then I was sick

Yeah, heard about this nasty scam floating about. It's a right old muddle, ain't it? Some lowlifes are getting clever, capitalizing on the passport delays due to the strikes back home.
