Pattaya Ghost

Sorry for earlier server problem. Have no freakin idea what the issue was. Ticks me off. Disabled one stat plugin that had been fine for months and it seems OK. Probably cost myself about 400 page views over the 4 hours I had that problem

As of 6 p.m., here's the latest I've been able to put together http://www.pattayaghost.com/2008/10/07/the...sed-until-6-pm/

Hey probe, despite the name, Coyotee's (with 2 Es) is a gogo, not coyote (with one E) bar. named after Wil. E. Coyotee, as in the Road Runner.

Coyotee's A Go-Go on Soi Marina Plaza celebrated its 3rd anniversary Wednesday and I had a long chat with Deano, one of the owners. He admitted to me that Coyotee's has taken a lot of criticism over the years -- some of it deserved -- for having girls that won't go with customers. However, he said he and co-owner TJ support the girls and would rather have them stay in the bar. "We like to sell drinks, not the girls," he said.

I think the place is terrific. http://www.pattayaghost.com/2008/07/10/whe...ya-beer-garden/

There's a boat builder with a blog here. You mgiht be able to contact him through it. http://raoulbianchetti.blogspot.com/ If he uses the gmail address attached to that blog, it would be raoulbianchetti@gmail.com

500 baht for 20 minutes of ALL YOU CAN DRINK vodka. Pretty cheap if you ask me, but then again I'm a binge-drinking alcoholic....

Shane at Liviing Dolls has tipped me of to a great story. If you've uploaded nudie pictures online, you'll want to read this: If you thought your password made it safe for you to post nude photos of your Thai teerak on Pattaya Secrets and other Internet message boards, think again. Pattaya police not only have “Level 2″ access, but some enterprising officers are hunting down amateur pornographers and their models and demanding payoffs under threat of jail time. http://www.pattayaghost.com/2008/06/24/pat...d-porn-posters/

Thanks for the feedback so far. If you would, leave your comments on the blog itself as that might help others to figure out where the pix are. I have no way of checking the facts and locales behind them as I don't know the photogs. On the big tree, however, I do remember seeing a caption that stated what I said it was. Never know, though.

In 40 years, Pattaya has changed from a sleepy fishing village to the chaos it is today. I've put together a photographic walk through hisotry, with photos from each decade here in Pattaya. Enjoy! http://www.pattayaghost.com/2008/06/17/sna...ough-the-years/
