New issue of online magazine focusing on Pattaya

[jackcorbett 2]

http://www.alphapro.com/looking/index.html That's the Looking Glass Magazine which I have been doing for several years for fun but since moving to Pattaya nearly all its content now is from Pattaya and other parts of Thailand. In this issue there are pictures of Nong II, who I feel is a very beautiful Thai lady, there's the bar of the month, condo--hotel of the month, Nong Nooch Tropical Gardens for the landmark of the month, there's the Uncle Buford Go-Go bar reviews, and possibly the most fun of all, "Find the Porn" which is an interactive Internet Game that takes a few swipes at Internet companies seeking to impose their medieval codes of morals on web sites that show adult content they do not approve of. There's the Madame Nook Pattaya restaurant reviews, Madame Nook being a Thai woman who uses a five star approach for rating the restaurants in her review. Lastly there is the Best of the Best, the Looking Glass annual awards for best bar, motorcyle, restaurant, and so on.

 

I am sure there will be many who will disagree with some of the selections here, so if you do feel free to post your thoughts. As for the game, "Find the porn", I didn't do it. That's my good friend, Mike Skymaster who created it after my web site was suspended for "adult content" by my former web hosting company for showing I suppose some naked female breasts.

I love the web site -- it is really creative.

Thanks bangkapiboy. I really want to be doing more with it. More videos for instance. My video camera bit the dust. But that situation should be remedied in the next several weeks. Prettier and prettier girls down the road from the Pattaya area. Will continue with the Madame Nook restaurant reviews which will gradually comprise more and more restaurants. And whatever else I can come up with that will offer hopefully something of value to those interested in the Pattaya area.

Hi,

 

Nice work. Park Beach condos seems a nice place, wouldn't mind a let there if my boat comes in.

Great site, I just discovered it. Very informative, I'll be looking at the old issues too. I saw the condo review, do you ever review hotels? Just a thought. Keep up the good work.

Neat site. One more for the Favourites.

Thanks guys. A ranking of hotels? Now that's an idea.

 

I go to the U.S. in three days but for just one week. Perhaps I can have my TG call hotels to ask about guest policies for one thing. A lot of hotels here charge exorbitant fees if you bring a girl to your room. We can blacklist all these places in the five star ranking system. You got me going now. In fact, perhaps I can get a little help here from some of you.

Nice job!

 

I have to agree with hotel ratings. That is number one to me who has not been to LOS yet. Current ratings should include if there is an in room safe available, hardness and size of beds (is there a crack down the middle of a king or is it super hard?) and any extra cost for bringing a guest or five for the night.

Just completed a quick and dirty review section for the "Looking Glass" of Pattaya's hotels and guesthouses http://www.alphapro.com/hotels2/evaluationform.htm As on the evaluation form instructions I recommend copying and pasting the table you will find there listing the categories...eg. quality of the bed, guest fees if any, etc and then add your comments afterwards. Then just refresh your browser to see the results of what you have posted.
