Grand Jomtien Palace Pattaya

Ah, the sun, the breeze, the coconut trees, the waves, the relaxation…sounds like heaven? May be to a lot of people, but not to me. First, I am a mountain-hiker, not a beach-comber; second, I don’t know how to relax. I always need to have something to do, or I’ll be bored.

Well, that was the exact reason why I wanted to spend a few days by a beach – I felt that it was about time to learn how to relax, how ...

... that works with getting prostitutes out of the sex industry by sharing with them the inherit hope found in the Gospel of Christ and the freedom in following the teachings of Christ. They also offer any girl who decides to forsake prostitution vocational training so they can make a decent, righteous living. The vocational training they offer are in the areas of cosmetology, computers, bakers and such.

Often these girls come from ...

... Austrian boyfriend as his personal Tilak for reasons she kept unnoticed from me.

Just like this morning it is not all that unusual for me the find their washing drying on the line on my balcony. They obviously do their laundry in my bathroom using my shampoo while I am still dead asleep. The dangling in the wind female panties and bras always amuse me first thing in the...well, yeah, not the morning but the early afternoon.

We flew to Bangkok & were picked up by pastors of a church from there. They drove us to Pattaya a few hours away & we met up that night with a church that works in this town. The sexual exploitation here is more than unbelievable. I felt quite sickened by it all.



Pattaya, Thailand hilaryramsey

... We met Don at the shisha place (where else!!) and then wandered around until something appealed to us for supper. We settled on the Pad Thai from a street vendor... again, amazing. Jean-Guy and I went back to the Hot Tuna and spent another night listening to great music. We were leaving Pattaya the next day... we were looking forward to a change of scenery. Don was an incredibly generous host and we REALLY appreciated his generousity and all his great tips on Thai culture!

... s colnov pa je danes mogoce kupiti hrano vseh vrst in ne vec pridelkov okoliskih kmetovalcev. Zelenjavo so tako nadomestile recne ribe, sadje pa vse vrste sladic, ki jih pripravljajo na colnih. Najino drugo srecanje s plavajoco trznico pa sva dozivela v blizini Pattaye, kjer so zgradili celoten nov kompleks, ki bi naj ponazarjal tradicionalno tajsko plavajoco trznico. Tudi tukaj ni vec mogoce ...

... well... I was back in England for 4 days earlier this month as we attended a travel exhibition in London to promote Fairtex and to do a demonstration on Muaythai. Mum and dad came down to see me for 1 night which was really nice and it was great to be able to spend some time with them as i couldn't get 'up north' to see them... We took a trainer with us and he's never been outside of Thailand so ...

... harassment from the "women" (trust me it's very difficult to tell a lady boy and female apart). Thursday woke up and checked into a nice Hotel with roof swimming pool (which we haven't used)... Realised today that there is no full moon party in Pattaya... doh! Got caught in the rain, had another nice Thai curry and did a bit of shopping... evening had a few more beers and got harassed by some more l.b.'s (lady boys). Had a fairly early night... Woke up today, had some ...

it was such a cultural transition to cross over into hong kong after spending a few weeks in china. the stores and buildings are modern, the kids have the freedom to dress in fashions that will be looked back upon and laughed at in a few years. girls wear make up and dresses and there is even a rolls royce dealership downtown. i was only in hong kong for 2 days but it made a big impression on me as far as how a bustling city should take shape. it was mostly little ...

... badelandet under: Dagen etter tok vi en baattur ut til en annen strand + et stopp paa monkey island. Her er stranden, som ser bedre ut paa bildet enn den var :) Her har vi sultne apekatter: Hadde faatt klage naar vi satt og drakk paa terassen noen dager i ...
