There's a lot of talk about "face" in Thailand, so what is this thing they call face. Let's take a look at this strange quirk of Thai culture, let's "face up to face". Maintaining face, gaining face and "saving face" are a bit of an enigma, an unseen

Worst Things About Pattaya

Pattaya Street Robbery

Published on 2012-10-24 01:56:00

How many people do you know who have been robbed on the street in Pattaya ?, when I say robbed I mean had something stolen from their person, the most common form of street robbery in Pattaya is a snatch and run or "grab and run" (however you want to phrase it), seeing as the thieving lowlifes assailants are usually on a motorbike, you could call it 'snatch and ride'. But we will include any

Thailand City Names

Thailands Weekday Colors and Gods

In Thailand there is a colour and a God to represent every day of the week. You may have noticed yellow is worn a lot by Thai people on the King's Birthday, this is because the King's colour is yellow, the King is associated with yellow because he was born on Monday, and Monday's colour is yellow. Use the table below to find which colours and Deities are associated with the days of the week in

Everyone has their own preference, that's why I created this poll, now you can vote for your

Thailands Most Annoying Highway Habits

Some of the driving habits on Thailand's highways are extremely dangerous, while others are just annoying and thoughtless. Not all the habits on the list below are unique to Thailand but they are certainly more prolific in Thailand, which can make Thailand a dangerous place to drive.

How to get to Koh Samet

The beautiful pristine beaches, white sand and crystal clear water of the island paradise which is Koh Samet (see photos below) are less than 3 hours away from Pattaya. Koh Samet is the closest of the major islands to Pattaya, true, there is Koh Larn but you cannot compare Koh Larn to the more prominent tropical islands of Thailand, whereas Koh Samet is often to compared to Koh Chang, Koh Samui,

Beautiful Koh Samet Photos

Published on 2012-08-19 02:23:07

To say Koh Samet is a beautiful island (see photos of Koh Samet below) would not be an overstatement, getting to Koh Samet is easy and well worth the journey, there is an ugly side to Koh Samet though, but I think you could sum it up by saying Koh Samet is a beauty spot with a few blots on the landscape, rather than a landscape with a few beauty spots, get my drift ?. I wish I'd taken more time

Buddha Mountain (see photo below), also known as "Khao Chi Chan" and the "Laser Buddha" has become an increasingly popular destination on the Pattaya tourist trail since it was opened to commemorate His Majesty The King's Golden Jubilee.

Wat Yansangwararam (known locally as Wat Yan) is about a 30 minute drive from central Pattaya. Wat Yansangwararam was built in 1976, and although it is relatively modern it is one of the most significant temples in the Pattaya area because it comes under the patronage of His Majesty The King.

It's a dogs life, it certainly is for many of the dogs living on the streets of Pattaya. Soi dogs, as you see in these photos (below) don't have an easy life, abandoned, unwanted and turned out on to the street they are basically left to fend for themselves. The fortunate ones are fed daily by kind-hearted people, some are taken in to a temple and cared for by the Monks. Life on the street takes

Pattaya Restaurants on the Beach

Published on 2012-06-16 06:30:21

There isn't a huge choice of restaurants on the beach in Pattaya, mainly due to the lack of resorts which actually occupy or sit on the beach. If you've ever been to one of Thailand's idyllic islands such as Koh Samui, Koh Chang and Koh Samet you will have witnessed the amazing beach transformation, late in the afternoon before sunset, tables and chairs are placed on the beach, complete with

The Thai Fingernail of Prosperity

Why do many Thai men grow the nail of their little finger ?.The long fingernail often seen on the little finger of the right hand (see photo below) of men in Thailand is another of those "Thai things" which is not really understood by outsiders. On seeing Thai men with long fingernails many people are quick to speculate that he is either gay or effeminate. So to answer the question, Thai men grow

Na Jomtien Beach

Published on 2012-04-03 01:41:17

This 2.9 kilometer stretch of beach south of Jomtien in the sub district of Na Jomtien is unlike most beaches in Pattaya because it has resorts actually "on the beach", unlike Pattaya and Jomtien there is no busy road between the resort and the beach. Na Jomtien Beach is probably more comparable to Koh Samet than it is to Pattaya, the beach itself could be best described as extension of Jomtien

Pattaya Naklua Beach is best described as a beach of two halves, the southern end which borders Pattaya beach is rocky and somewhat neglected, the northern end where Naklua Beach borders Wongamat beach (see photo below) is much more suitable for swimming and sunbathing. When I say Pattaya Naklua beach is a beach of two halves I'm not only referring to the fact that one half is rocky and one half

Jomtien Beach

Jomtien Beach is one of the most popular beaches in Pattaya, if not "the most popular" beach in Pattaya. Jomtien consists mainly of hotels, condos and restaurants, there are beer bars and gogo bars but they are concentrated in the sois of North Jomtien Beach Road and Thappraya Road, this makes Jomtien more suited to families and couples, and gives Jomtien a quieter, more gentle atmosphere than

Why Do Elephants Cry

Published on 2012-03-24 12:59:27

Let me start by telling you what spurred me to write this post. I have been living in Thailand for 12 years, and yes I have been elephant trekking, can't say that I enjoyed the trekking at all, it's highly over rated. More importantly though I actually thought to myself, (and I'm sure I'm not alone here), isn't it amazing how they get the elephants so well trained, not only do they train them to

I will start by saying there is nothing wrong with Pattaya beach, but it most certainly is not the reason why Pattaya is the most popular beach resort destination in Southeast Asia.

Thai Superstition and The Face on The Mud Flap.

I would imagine if you have spent any time on the road in Thailand you will have noticed a face, either painted or in sticker form, on the mud flaps of Thai wagons and trucks. The face on the mud flaps has a familiar look about it but you can't put a name to the face, maybe like me you thought the face was of one of the Bee Gees, even though it's a little strange for a Thai truck driver to have
