Pattaya City News reports that the City Council have just allocated another 10 million baht to the Beach Road project. It still looks a bomb site and the overhead cables are still all there????

Memories is set to open back up soon. They have been on holiday for a while. When they are away, the area is just not the same. Plus, I need my Pork BBQ Sandwish fix every week or two. Wishing them great success in the high season!

I just had a nice massage at a gay massage place in Jomtien Complex. I guess it's not kosher to name the place, but it's near Dick's Cafe and the boys wear white shorts. The massage was good, but when I went to retrieve my clothing out of the "locked" locker, I discovered my wallet had somehow migrated from my right rear pocket to the front left pocket, in with my cell phone. I had (stupidly it turns out) hit the ATM before my massage, and when I discovered my wallet in the wrong pocket, I checked the money and found 2000 baht missing (at least maybe more, but I hadn't counted for sure before I went in there). Of course, the proprietor denied that there wa…

BANGKOK, Sept 29 (TNA) Long delays in collecting passenger baggage appeared as a big problem needing urgent solution on the first day of regular operations for Bangkok's new Suvarnabhumi Airport on Thursday.

The baggage collection process is part of ground service provided by Thai Airways International Public Company Limited. The company apologized to passengers for the delay in collecting their personal belongings, stating that it would quickly solve the p…

Wonderful new restaurants are popping up all over Pattaya. Yet another restaurant recommendation is Ernesto's. Many of you may recall the Ol

This bar in Pattaya is one of the best-run bars I have seen. I have never been into the bar when I wasn't greeting with a hundred smiles. The boys there are nice and sweet. The waiters are friendly and the mamasans are helpful and knowledgeable. I find that this bar really does raise the bar when it comes to atmosphere. They have TV's on both sides of the bar with music video on part of them and a video stream of the boys dancing on the others. The drinks are reasonably prices and nice amount of liquor. It is a small bar but very tastefully done. Jimm Jimmy James, Corner Bar, Crazy Dragon, Kaos and the new Clubber bars are truly taking Sunee Plaza out of a dar…

I went last night to Non restaurant. The place has a mix of both Thai and Farang food. I had the set menu, which was Shrimp Cocktail, Chicken Cordon Blue and Ice-cream. The price was 180 baht. The food tasted very good. My chicken was great and served in a very pleasant manner. My friends who ordered Thai food also enjoyed that. The staff is very friendly and the owner is a very sweet and sexy boy who once worked at Memories. I had not noticed this place in the past as I normally drive by but a friend recommend we try it and I am glad we did. Non

Most hotels have a safe available for guests. I did not know, until reading this article, that some hotels have restrictions as to the times you can access your belongings if they are kept in the safe. Apparently some hotels do not exactly place customer care and service in their top ten priority list. My question is why have such a rule in the first place? Why can't a staff member access the safe when a customer needs his personal belongings at any hour, especially in a case like the one illustrated in this story?

I am not sure love is the right word. I am not sure stupidity is the right word. I am not sure there is any word that fits my feelings. I have an ex that got into a little bit of trouble before and we parted company. While time and distance separated us, I never really lost my feelings for him. I am not "In Love" with him by any means but I do love him and I do care for him. Mistakes of the past are easy to forgive but hard to forget. I decided to give one guy a second chance. While he and I will have obvious trust issues, we have both committed to giving it a second chance. Call me stupid but don't call me naive. I know what I am in for. I know what road…

I have a new Nouvo by Yamaha. It is automatic and no gears are needed to be shifted. The bike is a real pleasure to drive and it is also very easy to learn how to ride a bike on. For anyone who has been thinking of trying a bike, this is the one to start with. It is a very easy bike to learn to drive. Most places in Thailand, you can rent one for 200 bath a day or buy for around 50k baht. http://www.yamaha-motor.co.jp/global/news/...4/24/nouvo.html

I have a new boyfriend. He is adorable. He is also fairly new to Pattaya and the gogo scene. He has been with me for about 2 weeks. He is such a sweet guy and makes me laugh many times every day. I wanted to treat him to a new cell phone so we can keep in touch. I took him to TutCom and bought him one. The smile on his face was a mile wide. He was so happy. He has now been looking and playing with it for 6 hours. He called his family to say hi and then his friends. He has been playing games and trying to learn every button. It is such a joy to watch. While a new cell phone is not really a most exciting experience it is one of many that I enjoy watchi…
