Golden Beach Hotel Pattaya

... less than a dollar; plus lots of cheap seafood.

So I stay there for 5 days: spent the better part of the day on the beach, swimming or reading or writing my blog with my netbook until I dozed off; or just stared at the horizon, enjoying a beer or drinking the juice of a young coconut.

Finally. I could relax and be lazy and not feel guilty about it.

... of the sex trade industry. Every year, the prostitution industry in Thailand seems to grow. It has reach pandemic proportions some would say. So is there hope? Is there hope for the girls that get caught and dragged deeper into the hellish world of prostitution? Yes there is and it is called Ruth Center.

... before twelve noon.

Usually by the time I wake up, strong beams of sunlight stealing themselves through the cracks in my curtains hurting my eyes and reminding me of just that very last beer I should have left alone but couldn`t, most of my visitors already gone, Moo who normally sleeps on the matrass next to me and Joy who slept on the floor last night on top of my sleeping bag after having been fired by her Small ...

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.

... it's a much easier walk in the evening when traffic is quiet and sun isn't beating down on you! We made it about a block and Don came zooming by so we BOTH jumped on the back of the bike and the 3 of us rode a rather cramped ride back to Don's. It was too funny! The following day Jean-Guy and I went downtown to Pattaya and enjoyed wonderful foot massages! I can see this being addictive! There are parlors on every street corner... sometimes 3 or 4. That and 7-11's... they are ...

... zelenjava in sadje s podezelja v glavnini ne prihaja v mesta vec po rekah, ampak po cestah s tovornjaki. Trgovanje z zelenjavo in sadjem, kar direktno s colnov pa je danes ze prava redkost. Sama sva v Bangkoku obiskala plavajoco trznico, ki je z globalizacijo in razvojem spremenila svoj namen in danes sluzi tajskim druzinam za vikend izlete z okusno hrano. Trznica obratuje le ob sobotah in ...

Days 3-5 Quick entry this time and afraid no photo's to upload as this internet cafe does not have a usb port... Checked out of our hostel and caught a cab/sky train/coach to Pattaya... fairly comfortable journey apart from Hem getting bitten about 6 times on the coach... Got to Pattaya around 11pm and found a nice hostel fairly quickly. Took a walk around the main strip - Walking street. Had a few beers and got myself a Tatto... Very noisy and way too many Tourists ...

... that in general(eventually) during my PhD anyway. Very liberating. However, it looks like I will be able to stay on here helping Del with the vet work until June, when we will go up to Mae Hong Son on the arrival of the Vet volunteer. There I will probably do some sort of behavioural study with the gibbons. I'm not sure when exactly the bear study (here, near Pattaya) will happen, but I'm happy to do the the vet work & gibbon study.

... opp til Pattayas hoeyste bygning (55 etasjer). Jeg og Thomas rampelerte ned i en wire med sele ala det du bruker ifm fallskjermhopping. Har dessverre ikke bilde fra det, men thomas filmet saa kanskje dere kan faa se det en gang :) Her er uansett gondolen ...
