I’m always amazed at the new places I get to with the wife around Pattaya usually connected to food places. Today it was the Hidden beach in Na Kluea and was nice to see Pattaya and Koh Lan from another angle or direction. Only been here 10 years and still discovering the place or as I get older my interests are diversifying 😊

I went to Malaysia oblivious to their requirements until stood in a queue at immigration when realising I needed to fill it in online unbeknownst to me it wasn’t fake but you had to pay which I unwittingly did and all done. Later I realised I’d been had and you can do it for free on the qovt website. Be warned the same scam will be going on here. Lesson learned.

My lad booked in Feb for October £600 return with Thai.

It says a man was jailed in 2015 for 6 years was it just some random guy or the person involved in the assault?

I was out the other night when my lad coincidentally called while he was in Las Vegas (really) I was sat here so couldn’t resist sending him a picture of our or one of our Las Vegas options. I know which one I prefer 😊

Been out of stock a good few weeks now just waiting for the next boat to come in 😊

Black Forest cafe Huay Yai

Mapprachan at Sunset.

There is a section of Warburtons crumpets and Farm bread in the freezers also at Big C Sukhumvit I saw the Yorkers stuff once but never again.

Monster Aquarium.

We ventured into the abyss on NYE for a change. Stayed in the OZO hotel only place I could find through some connections at a late notice. Quite enjoyed it but that’s it for a couple of years it’s amazing how many people actually flock here I think it’s got to be one of the busiest places on the planet.

I think you would like The Hill bar near top of Kasetsin Pratumnak. Benneys Roadhouse is new on Soi 5 Pratumnak. Other than that is plenty more smaller bars but Motown I like trench town in Pattaya LK metro.

Family just booked out of Gatwick with China Eastern via Shanghai flights at a very reasonable £480 return next month. It’s not a bad connection only about 2 hours it’s a while since seem prices like that. They was planning on Spain but realised it’s cheaper to come here.

Blue Flag don’t know if you use FB but on there there is A Photographers Thailand group and you do get the odd one or two good shots that would go down well on there imho if your interested it is strictly administered to try and keep the quality high.

I do like a walk around Na Kluea seafood market another place that is quite busy but mainly Thais and Chinese in there. The assortment of seafood is very good.

Took a trip to Koh Larn yesterday it was pandemonium at the beach I don’t think I’ve ever been on a beach so noisy with boats and jet skis loads of people. OMG never again. One thing which took my attention was how disciplined the Indian tourists was lining up to board the boats it was quite the opposite to the wandering in the middle of the roads in South Pattaya and the general chaos everywhere else they go.

He’s still going strong god knows how long he’s has been around.

I just asked my wife the original question of how many weeks in a year she came back with 48. I gave up trying to explain that she was wrong 🤓 I come to the conclusion it’s irrelevant so not worth even thinking about from her point of view which perfectly illustrates the lazy brain syndrome. And she is a lot smarter on things than me if they have some relevance to her.

Absolutely I’ve seen Mapprachan go down from being the fullest I’ve seen it. What makes it all the more ludicrous was the open encouragement to poor water down the drains for a week in Pattaya to celebrate Songkran.

Many of the owners I know around town have shut up shop and gone away until after the madness has finished. I personally have no issue with a bit of water throwing but what I cannot accept is the fcuking ferangs with those blue water cannon type guns which are definitely a danger to anyone on a motorcycle. I’m tucked away up north at our house and the kids are playing water and one Thai wanted to plastered me with powder I politely said no thank you and off he toddled which is how it should be. If I was in Pattaya I’m fairly sure it would have resulted in violence !!!

Anyone been waiting for there lost luggage can find it at the back of Tukcom 😊

Now that would be worth forgoing the odd shower for. But actually it’s a good point I doubt the authorities gave that a thought.

I keep an eye on the water levels over at Maprachan when I’m out that way and the lakes is still relatively full compared to the drought years but I have to say that more and more land is becoming visible just wondering if we’ll be able to survive the hot season round the corner without water outages.

Now I’m worried if I can recognise it ☺️

It’s before my time and have no clue really but hazard a guess at Soi 15 ?
