Pattaya enjoys a tropical wet and dry climate, which is divided into the following seasons: warm and dry (November to February), hot and humid (March to May), and hot and rainy (June to October). The most comfortable time of year coincides with the peak tourist season, which is over the Christmas and New Year period.

Elisabetta e' allibita... non ha mai visto cosi' tante donne, solo donne in atteggiamento inequivocabile, piuttosto e' disposta a dormire in spiaggia. Ma chi la dura la vince ... e Marco imperterrito non molla e scova in un vicolo in una zona decisamente diversa una Guest House di recente costruzione ...

We left the next day for 1 night in Bangkok before flying home , When we get home we will sort out what all we have seen & been told the last 2 weeks but feel as a church to look after girls rescued from sexual exploitation & trafficking.

Pattaya, 17-01-2009. It is early morning and I`m on the local bus from the Suvarnibhumi New Airport to Pattaya. I was supposed to be on the back of Nik`s scooter heading for downtown Bangkok. Nik is Mag`s younger brother who she send to the airport, not to pick me up and bring me to her appartment as she had told me on MSN, no he was there to inform me I had been fired as a farang boyfriend to his elder sister!!! "She have English Tilak now", as he dutifully told ...

... Chang: Beer Chang Light and Beer Chang Draft. Surprisingly both of these beers cost slightly more than the considerably more potent original Beer Chang. They were both lighter beers (around 5% alcohol) than the original (6.4%) but still a great bargain at only 37 or 38 baht each at 7/11 and Family Mart (vs 36 baht for Beer Chang itself). I have changed from drinking Beer Chang to the Beer Chang Draft as my default beer in Thailand now, although Federbrau ...

... and Sriracha Tiger Zoo were fantastic fun destinations. We learned so much about Thai culture under one roof and got to take picture with tiger cubs. The Dreamworld is also another interesting destination to explore. We spent one whole day there and tried on all the rides. The animal show was entertaining. We had our first one and only delicious buffet lunch in Dreamworld itself. It was a feast for us ...

... foreign perverts smacking the bums of don't-look-a-day-older-than-14 Thai prostitutes. There are TONS of transvestite pubs and go-go (hooker) bars. We didn' like it over there and are glad we are staying where we are. We also checked out the Mall yesterday. Nothing special, just over-priced goods and fast food joints. It does, however, have a spectacular view of the ocean from the top floor. The food here ...

... with leather bondage outfits). Some of the girls danced a traditional Thai dance-but naked. Other girls did a S&M show with whips and lots of chains. Another girl did an amazing pole show! One girl did the "cutie girl" thing with pig tails and about 10 g-strings on, which she took off one by one and placed on audience members until she was naked to. Let see then there was your typical seductive girl on girl action. And then the one i thought was ...

... schools or the hospital, and will have to be funded from outside the community. The Peace Corps received a bit of funding from PEPFAR, the gov't attempt to fund AIDS projects internationally. This could help, except that PC received the funding too late, and all of it has to be used by early next year. Another hurdle is that any PEPFAR project has to be "sustainable", which obviously is an irrelevant factor when considering helping those affected by AIDS. A project that my PHA ...
