Got the passport incl. Visa back 4 days later.

Not just Central Pattaya, but at Pattaya Tai, between Soi 9 and Friendship Market. "Thonar Barber" Shave and hot towels, not sure about the face Massage. 100 Baht.

Tried the food twice as well as the breakfast. Even the Schnitzel is not worth it's price, the potato salad is not very tasty, but might well be the best farang dish you can order. Breakfast is quite ok in relation to 60 baht. But the business plan seems good place is packed at night, always

PBG food is value for money since it opened. The draft beers are excellent too. The staff is mostly friendly, but sometimes simply does not know of westerners expectations.

I have stayed there for some weeks.Had a two room unit. Very good location, easy access to Tony's Gym, tennis court, Tony' food court, Baht buses to 2nd road. Attentative and friendly staff. Most Apts quite nicely decorated. Units to the rear have no balconies, units to the front are pretty noisy (3rd road). Despite claiming free WIFI, they have not been able to provide a stable signal for the whole of my stay. Top floor is a basketball court. Since the bulding is a steel construction, you are going to feel the resulting vibrations during tournaments. All in all, it is not bad for the p

Good point Whatever the reason is, I think that there cannot be blamed the sewage alone

In 1970, I was tired of Germany and looking for a job abroad. Looked around in Istanbul and Bangkok, discovered Pattaya, started to work in Istanbul. I was young and nightlife was good in Istanbul, but I kept coming back to Pattaya
