From Pattaya Mail By Barry Kenyon Legendary Dave Collier, owner of Pattaya’s sole surviving bookshop and chattery, has just published his latest paperback. Speaking to 100 members of Pattaya City Expat Club, he presented a slide show of some of the crank-expat characters he has met in “20 Years of Canterbury Tales in Pattaya Thailand”.

The mischief that they, and many others, got up to in Pattaya was often fueled by too much alcohol and t…

From Pattaya Mail Pattaya, known for its vibrant tourism industry and bustling nightlife, is also home to a significant number of condo residents.

While these condos offer modern amenities, ocean views, and a convenient lifestyle, the safety of residents is becoming an increasingly important issue. One of the most critical concerns for condo residents in Pattaya is fire safety.

Late Wednesday, 28 November 2024, my gym trainer alerts me with the below message that our gym will be closed effective the following day. Quite perplexing as they did not say anything in the morning. The former location was at the Jomtien Skypark Lucean center on Second Road near Soi 1.

Going south on Jomtien Beach Road, it is shortly after soi 8, after the 7-Eleven and is now housed in the former Giant Octopus Seafood restaurant - as shown below: New r…

From Pattaya Mail The weekend’s fireworks bonanza was another banging success for Pattaya marketing. But the silent chaos on the roads as queuing traffic took over an hour to traverse the city at peak times illustrates the downside of overtourism.

From March 2020 to June 2021, there were no tourists in Thailand by law. Then came the “Sandbox” notion which limited foreign vacationers to 15,000 a month. But from July 2022, all barriers were dropped except for a vaccination certi…
