Enjoyable Party Nights

Goodbye Pattaya
Right. As we already said in our previous entry we spent a few days in Pattaya. The place is very touristy, but it was perfect for a bit of relaxation before starting the real travelling. We had a couple of great nights (including a very boozy dinner ...

Bored....
Well today it finally hit me, just how totally, completely, utterly, thoroughly, absolutely, entirely bored I am. 6 days now in Pattaya and I've had enough of it. Travelling alone is one thing but sitting in a hotel room on your own waiting is quite ...
Sweet indulgences...

Closing a chapter...
Today is it. Last day in Pattaya. It's been a journey. A short time spent in this city, yet so much has happened, so much has changed. A new perspective, a new insight is with me. I have been touched by so many... The women I ...

Bar-girls and German men
Appropriately labeled the hedonistic capital of Thailand, Pattaya is a city that comes close to topping Las Vegas and Amsterdam. There may not be gambling or legalized marijuana but the extreme abundance of bar-girls (P.C. for hookers) makes us ...

Go Go Pattaya

Rabbit Resort, Jomtien Beach
... lent, so we hopped on down to Rabbit resort. Rabbit came highly recommended by a couple of friends who have stayed there. Pattaya is close to Bkk, about a two hour drive, so its an ideal location for a quick get away. The day started ...
Gender Confused
... We didn't hang around for too long because we started getting the kind of looks H from Steps used to give Lee. Being Thailand there are loads of stalls selling items from t shirts and hats to watches and necklaces. Of course some sell more unique ...

From Pattaya with Love + Battambang
Forgot to add Battambang. We stopped there for a couple of days on the way to Thailand, there wasn't much to see but as we missed the killing fields in south Cambodia we figured we'd go see the ones here. Pretty eerie, especially when the guide told all ...
"We'll take it easy tonight Dirk, just have one."
... ' one I'm havin' twenty!" Right then, back to this blogging lark following Dirk and I getting up close and personal with Thailand's treasured 4 legged creature, the elephant. That's right, Dick Dastardly and I have for the first time in our lives ridden ...
