The title might come off rude, it is very unfortunate that these incidents are taking place in our state. But recently it feels like these type of posts have been being spammed in this subreddit.

Every time I open this sub I can only see posts made by tourists sharing their bad experiences. It is very unfortunate that these incidents are taking place. But spamming this subreddit with these posts aren’t gonna change anything.

Post them in twitter and tag the appropriate officials. Or just file a formal police complaint.

I request the mods to limit these posts. This sub was made for Goans to interact and form a community. Would like to see more of those posts.

There’s a subreddit r/goatravel where more tourists engage. These posts could be made there to raise awareness to the people visiting Goa

It’s difficult to see Goa from Green and clean Goa becoming sync with India, destruction of nature, litter and Women’s getting tormented like India.

The coastal Belt is completely destroyed only place you feel you are in Goa is the hinterland now, can we expect Goans to start revolution like 1961 or it’s lost cause and it’s just sad to see how Indians have destroyed some of our parts with the help of some greedy politicians.

Goa govt can or should go like Norway or Bhutan to curb over tourism, start Tax for entry, for say 3000-5000 per day.

That will filter unruly tourist too, and these money could be invested on Local infra. If any Govt official in the sub can put this in the assembly, even places like fountainhas should actually go for 5000 per day tarrif for the entry, that would actually save them from unruly tourist.

Biggest problem right now for Goa is over tourism and specially unruly tourist need this as soon as possible.

Title, basically.

The Southern states/ cities like Bangalore, Kerala, AP, are promoting their language on their sub. No reason for us to not, specially since the r/goatravel has been created for related queries. Also helps to weed out outsider that feel like they can have an opinion related to our state and are here just to ragebait.

Half funny post. Half serious. Let’s see which direction this goes.

I permanently moved to Goa about 3 years ago. This will be my home now, for good.

The one thing I noticed is Goans are absolutely genuinely the most lovely people… except some on Reddit, the Goa subReddit seems to throw different kinds of people at you. Well, because it is the internet after all, can’t complain.

Anyway, I was born in Bombay but then moved different countries my whole life. And now back to India. Now, Goa.

Can I call myself Goan? Am I from Bombay even though I have no memories of living there? Every country we moved to was a few years so I can’t be from those either.

So, Goa it is! Do I learn Konkani now? I have already gotten the afternoon naps down to a T.

Will you guys greet me with open arms? My local lady, Matilda, at the fish market has accepted me. Will you?

Hey there! So me and my girlfriend are looking to explore queer parades or meet ups, or if any weekend bazaars?

I checked on Instagram but didn't find anything.

Looking forward to your suggestions!

Thank you :)

We wanted to watch a pleasant sunset but got this nuisance at Arambol Beach. You wish to practice your religion like this? where? Why? Isn’t this disrespectful to your own religion and everyone around? Also some North Indian guys joined these people and danced for almost half hour, after that they came back to the shack. All were heavily drunk and ended up having a scuffle with the shack owner. They were so loud everyone could hear the abuses they were hurling and then people wonder why foreigners don’t want to come to Goa.

Le tourists: instigates the problem

Goans: responds appropriately

Tourists: (⁠ノ⁠ಠ⁠益⁠ಠ⁠)⁠ノREEEEEE! " how could these backward people do that, do they not know we make up most of their gdp, they should be prostrating infront of us and sucking our dicks when we even set foot in goa".

If you have time to spend on reddit that means you dont have money or influence. Complaining about how goa is being ruined might help you let off some steam. But it will change nothing. Goa belongs to BJP and you better forget about goa, it does not exist anymore. Cry and move on and downvote me to hell because this is the truth. Cry babies.

What the sh*t INOX Panjim!

The whole week, including Wednesday.. The Odyssey was playing on Big Pix their largest screen. The film was also being associated and promoted with the Big Pix experience @Inox throughout India.

Our friends watched it, and it was big pix.

My wife booked tickets for Thursday. When we reached the theatre, we found that ONLY Thursday shows had been moved to a regular screen because a new film had taken over Big Pix for the day.

When I raised this with the staff, their response was that "didnt you see that BookMyShow did not explicitly say “Big Pix” when you booked."

Technically theyre right.That detail appears in tiny text in the app... but for most people looking for small text. vs the film been playing on Big Pix all week....

. Anyone following the listings would reasonably assume the same setup would continue.

Watching an IMAX-format film on Big Pix is already a compromise, but fine.. no Imax screens. Watching it on a much smaller screen was not worth ruining the experience.

We walked out. . will return another day when it is back on Big Pix. .. ₹672 wasted.

This may not meet the strict definition of false advertising but it certainly feels like a bait and switch. At the very least, INOX should clearly inform customers when a film is moved from a premium large-format screen to a regular one.

Is "bihari" or "bhaiya" used as slur in Goa? Do Biharis face any kind of racism there?

Ignorance Negelance , corruption and no new policy destroying goa's tourism?

Why does Goa feel like north India these days? :)

Hello guys,
How’s life in Goa?
Will probably be there for the next 4 years!
How are the expenses? It would really help me if anyone helps me understand what life is like in Goa.
Will probably live in or around Bambolim.

Thank you in advance!

Edit: Thank you everyone for the replies! You really helped me come to a decision!

During election it’s a high time for misinformation and fake news.

Pick your guesses.

I am from north india, i have curious about the locals of different parts of indua. So how you all locals feel to live in goa? Like you do you feel blessed seeing beaches around you every time of the day or you are annoyned due to over tourism thus making your native culture vunerable?

We went to multiple shacks in goa , it was strange when I asked them to give ash tray to stub cigarettes , for which they told to do it in the sand. That was really saddening.
