As any Thailand aficionado will tell you, Pattaya is best known for two things; two interrelated things…. Girls and Nightlife! I’ve already written about the joys and dangers of the girls you will meet there in a previous post, so this one looks at the Pattaya Nightlife scene. You can find full details of the [...]
With my previous submission being about Pattaya Ladies, I thought I’d better put something together about the ladyboys too… just for completeness! A Pattaya ladyboy is usually no different in terms of character than a bar-girl. If you are attracted to transsexual ladies you will be able to relax and do your thing in Pattaya [...]
For anyone unfamiliar with the tourist areas of Thailand or, more specifically, the red-light tourist areas of Thailand, here are a few pointers about the lovely girls of Pattaya. The same pointers apply about other adult focused resorts; this is not just for Pattaya goers. Pattaya Girls and partying all night long As you might [...]
One of the many things that I miss about Thailand when I am out of the country is the wide variety of massage options on every street. Pattaya massage is big business in sin city and it is not something that you can easily find in the UK. In fact it is impossible to find [...]
Pattaya Beaches I know right away that as soon as I mention ‘Pattaya’ and ‘Beaches’ in the same sentence that it is going to immediately conjure up some negative thoughts amongst a fair proportion of Thailand’s beach lovers, so let me start by pointing out that I am not claiming that Pattaya is home to [...]
I get requests for guest posts from time to time here and typically I do my best to let others share their stories here. I think it lends some diversity to the blog and besides its just good karma to do so. Today I have a brief story from Colin at Farang in Thailand about [...]
This is part 5 of the story An Adventure in Thailand. I should tell you the story of the westerner from England who met his girlfriend in Pattaya as this is a relevant story. I am telling you this because jealousy can creep into a relationship if you do not have the right sort of [...]
Once A Year Chiang Mai Erupts Into Watery Mayhem There are water fights and then there are water fights, and then there is Songkran. Describing Songkran as a water fight doesn’t really do it justice, it’s more or less a civil war fought across the whole country with water and it rates as one of [...]
This is part 3 of the story An Adventure in Thailand. Well the following year (2005) we decided to go back to Thailand once more. To see how everything was since the tsunami, to see friends and just enjoy Thailand. Now over the years we had had some problems and my wife was not getting [...]
Would you believe me if I told you seclusion still exists on Phuket? Probably not, but the steamrollers of development and tourism haven’t reached all corners of this stunning island quite yet. Up north the drone of jet skis doesn’t exist, the beach loungers aren’t lined out in their hundreds and the prices don’t make [...]
This is part 2 of the story An Adventure in Thailand. This second trip in December of 2004 was to be the second turning point in our lives, even though we had not realised we had already had the first one on that first trip to Thailand. Of course we stayed at the same hotel [...]
We all have our own stories about how we came to Thailand, what attracted us to the country and what makes us stay (or leave). Woven throughout many of the stories are similar threads and I’m sure many will be able to see parts of their own Thailand adventure in this story that I received [...]
Is it wise for Thailand to legalize gambling? I’ve asked the same question in the past when former Prime Minister Samak Sundaravej announced that Thailand was considering making gambling legal in Thailand. After 2 years we still haven’t seen legalized gambling in Thailand though we have seen the launch of 2 casinos in nearby Singapore [...]
Over the past few weeks we’ve touched on the perception of Pattaya among foreigners as well as having a discussion about the future direction of the city. Both posts were quite popular and incited many comments and loads of discussion. And now it seems as if we are not the only ones thinking of the [...]
Chiang Mai has one of the larger expat populations in Thailand so it makes sense that you would be able to find a good Christmas dinner in Chiang Mai doesn’t it? An additional draw of Chiang Mai over the holidays is the fact that the northern location is much cooler making it more Christmas like [...]
