Stupid Billboard
stupid advertisement on Sukhumvit Road
Louis Tussaud's Waxwork's stupid advertisement on the main road to Pattaya.
The billboard told Thai people: 'Hitler isn't dead'.
Motorcycle helmets bearing Nazi symbols remain popular in Thailand and are on sale at many shops along Pattaya's Beach Road and on Walking Street. During the last few years Nazi imagery even appeared in local advertisements.
Sometimes Thai entrepreneurs do not think a lot.
Perhaps you can still remember the unsaintly Bin Laden Bar Complex on Pattaya's Second Road or the new Tito Fashion Tailor on Beach Road...
It shows again that good education doesn't have a high priority in Thailand.

Soi 6/2, the dark street behind the popular Soi Yodsak (Soi Sexpresso) is now fully 'in the hand' of kratoeys...

Walking Street in Naklua
On Saturday November 21st 2009 Pattaya Mayor Itthiphol Kunplome opened Naklua's 'Walking Street' at the 'Northern end' of Naklua's Main Road.
The street was crowded with - hungry - Thai people and the street-vendors had a lot of tasty Thai food to offer.
I could spot a lot of happy faces, faces I never could see at Pattaya's famous Walking Street.
The organizer opened also a Singha Beer Garden at the small bridge at the end of the road.
During the next few months the Naklua Walking Street market will open every Saturday and Sunday.
Naklua isn't Pattaya - it's Thailand.

The Grand Beer Night Plaza on 2nd Road got demolished for the second time.
It will reopen somewhere in the future as Golden Dragon Bar Complex.
Halloween Festival 2009
Just another Last Minute Festival
Halloween Festival 2009
On October 30th and October 31 the Kunplome Brothers, together with the Tourist Authority of Thailand (TAT) and Beer Chang, organized the Holloween Festival 2009. The Festival attracted a lot of people and presented many popular Thai stars at the beach end of Pattaya's Central Road.
It remains a mystery why City Hall did not announce the festival or the concerts a few months in advance. Until October 25th 2009, the day the first banners appeared, almost nobody had the slightest idea that Pattaya was organizing a Halloween Festival.
But the Kunplome Brothers and TAT will have reasons to surprise the community with last minute events.
I suppose that they are simply not interested in any kind of festival tourism and are working hard and do their best to entertain the citizens of Pattaya only.

Echte Hausmannskost gibt's in Naklua ab 99 Baht!
An der Naklua Road, etwa 100 Meter vor der Kreuzung mit der Soi Photisarn, gibt es ein kleines nur mit einer Zeltblache abgedecktes Restaurant mit sechs Tischen.
Unscheinbar, aber von bester Qualität!
Egal was Sie bestellen, Schnitzel mit Bratkartoffeln, einen strammen Max oder eine Bratwurst mit Kartoffelpürree - alles von Hand zubereitet, keine Fabrikware, wie bei Muttern zuhause!
Aber nicht nur Deutsche Hausmannskost ist von guter Qualität, auch viele Thais loben das Thai Food dieses Lokals. Sie können zum Schlemmen also ohne Bedenken auch Ihre Freundin mitnehmen.
Echte Hausmannskost gibt's in Naklua ab 99 Baht!
If you like authentic German Food, try this small Restaurant on Naklua Road, about 100 meters in front of the Soi Photisarn crossover. The food is worth every single Baht.
Official Scam
Thailand's plus is a skilled Workforce...
Thailand's plus is the availability of a skilled work force...
Pattaya Beach Promenade after some rain: The Promenade got an expensive restoration a few years ago - realised by Thailand's 'highly skilled workforce'. Pattaya's taxpayers had to pay many millions of Baht for this stuporous work.
Chonburi's Senator Surachai Chaitrakulthong is luring potential investors from Taiwan and other countries by promising 'Thailand's plus is the availability of a skilled workforce...' - but he gracefully forget to mention that the output by one Singaporean is equal to that of eight (!!!!!!!!) lazy Thai workers.
Pattaya Police does not know the law
Parking on Zebra Crossings is prohibited by Law
Parking on Zebra Crossing is prohibited by Law
Pattaya's Police never was a shining example: Drivers in Bangkok risk a 1'000 baht fine if they stop their cars at a zebra crossing, but Pattaya's Police seems to ignore every single law - or doesn't know any.
