The Chonburi governor has been fighting with the Pattaya’s omnipotent beach chair operator since his swearing in ceremony. Basically he wants to assign 7 meter by 7 meter plots to decongest the narrow beach strip for public use ie being able to lay down on the sand without having to shell out 30 baht for […]
My 5th Grade teacher, a nun, instructed her students that any souls arriving at the Pearly Gates with a tattoo on their deceased body would be dispatched immediately to Hell. Tattoos were a mortal sin for Catholics and despite having abandoned my Catholic faith I have retained the fear that a simple tattoo threatens my […]
Pattaya’s new mayor enjoyed a landslide advantage in the recent election outscoring her nearest oppponent by 17,000, however considering the city’s growth in the last years, the 50% turnout for the mayoral election should have come up with more than 28,000 voters.
Where is everyone else?
Ten years ago Pattaya’s population was roughly 90,000. Wikpedia lists the […]
I love Pattaya. I love the girls. If only for the fact they are the least trustworthy females on the planet and that takes some doing considering that with a 4th grade education in a rice field school they can bilk billions of baht from highly-intelligent western men with such lines as “I need to […]
Songkran marks the official start of the low season and this year promises to be a lean one. Gas prices and tight credit are impacting the West. Perrennial visitors to Pattaya are cutting back on both the length of their stays and the number of trips they take this year. Bar girls are starving for […]
I’m 55 and this afternoon I was listening to Jefferson’s Airplane’s SOMEBODY TO LOVE on Pattaya’s notorious Soi 6. The trio of sub-20 Thai girls wanted me to visit an upstairs short-time room. “You sexy man. How old you. 40?”
Even through beer goggles my mirror doesn’t lie more than 49.
My wife thinks I’m ancient, however […]
My cousin Sharon Mitchell performed exotic dances around the world. Her skill with a firepole was legendary and a smile grace her face through every routine before a devoted audience smitten with a drool factor of 10. Sharon was their goddess, but even goddesses feel pain.
No one saw her grimace upon getting backstage or heard […]
If you google on detective and Thailand you’ll come up with hundreds of sites, offering services for finding missing persons, background checks, records searches, and surveillance of foreign visitors and local residents especially Thai wives, fiances and girlfriends.
Foreign men come out here, marry a woman half their age after knowing them a week, and then […]
Pattaya offers locals and tourists many forms of transportation, but at one point you must walk from a vehicle to your destination. The uneven levels of the sidewalks, missing grates, and the errant baby elephant require constant alertness and courtesy is a valued asset along Beach Road, where stalls protruded into the public walkways and […]
Last April Nick and I were sitting in Buffalo Bar. We drink beer a lot in Pattaya to celebrate Beermas. A holiday for every season. Despite Nick being single my wife doesn’t mind my drinking with the Hot Spurs fan. We never go to go-gos, since disco music isn’t conducive to meaningless conversations.
The DJ was […]
