All Seasons Pattaya Hotel

... that blew out a mist. It really elevated the humidity & the heat in the theatre, but it was interesting to see the Thai school kids put on their sweaters, so I guess it must have cooled it down somewhat. It's all what you are used to I guess. The dances were from all areas of Thailand including the bamboo dance and the whole performance really reminded me of the movie Anna & the King of Siam. They also had a Thai Boxing ...

... U.S. gets a bad rep around the world. He was prejudice, racist, skeezy and overall just someone I wish I hadn't met and had to claim as one of my own.  He had been living in Thailand for 8 years, but it seemed like he had been here for 5 seconds. <br><br>Anyways, once that boat trip was over we got to Ko Sichang and spent the day relaxing at the beach and walking around the small town. The town was really cute, except for being really run down and the ...

... two, in each class THAT I KNOW OF. One boy in particular insisted on picking 'Alyssa' for his English name and after a couple volleys I caught on and let it go. I have some students whose gender I am not sure of. The ladyboys at university usually will wear the prescribed uniform - pleated black skirt, white blouse, mid high heels. <br><br>But back to Pattaya. Because of the extensive ladyboy population, there are two well known ladyboy cabaret ...

... sending monthly checks by mail untill his next vacation. No more garbage collection on the boulevard for deposit money...<br><br>I took Nik to Nana Plaza tonight for a Thai movie, 120 Baht for the tickets and charming female companionship into the deal who pays for the huge bag of popcorn and the two cans of low cafeine Coca-Cola and a good practice for my poor Thai trying to understand the follow-ons in the movie, though the general simple story line in ...

... at 5 but we didn't push away until about 6. Forgot we had half a bottle left and Donald poured it as soon as we sat down. I couldn't even look at it but we eventually managed to sip it down through a three course meal. Instead of being last out, our table was first as we had big day with very early start next morning. Rommel was shocked, couldn't even say "nice to see you leave", his usual goodbye.

... old Sarah Collins of London, England recently came to Pattaya with her husband and three children based mainly on a brochure she received from her travel agent advertising beaches, go-karts, a zoo and fun, family-oriented restaurants. While she agreed that all these were available Collins said she felt extremely uncomfortable letting her kids build sandcastles just a few metres from a hairy, sunburned man in the act of having his ...

OK, so it wasn't quite as crazy as the baa yaa crazed glowstick parties of Ko Phangan, but that doesn't mean we couldn't find some trouble! We grabbed a taxi (4X4 pick up truck) with our new Thai friends, Tan/Joy and Tony/Baby (everyone has at least 2 names here, and I'm not even counting the 100 letter full Thai name...) and headed down the pot hole littered ...

So much for me learning Thai. In all the time I've been here my total Thai ability amounts to a few monosyllabic words, inevitably pronounced wrong. First of all today, I was unable to make anyone in the entire town of Chonburi understand that I wanted to find the bus to Phinat Nikhom. So after many vain attempts, a motorcycle taxi driver says, "Phinat Nikhom?" (at least I thought that's what he said.) He motions toward the ...

... and they are treated with traditional Thai dancing, Muay Thai, and other very Thai ceremonies. At this point, I was starting to grow tired of seeing shows, so I can't say this one was my favourite. THE END: So yeah, in a long-winded effort that was pretty much my day. I have a tour to the River Kwai tomorrow and all I know is that I will be hopping on more boats and this time riding an elephant in the bush. I just hope my elephant can breakdance just like his cousins.
