The area on the back of Honey Body Massage is now used as a parking lot for visitors and employes of the hotel and the massage parlour.

According to Greek mythology Pandora was the first woman. Each Greek God helped create her by giving her unique gifts. According to the British Museum her second name was Anesidora. The literature tells that Pandora opened a jar releasing all the evils of mankind and leaving only hope inside once she had closed the jar again. Pandora opened the jar out of simple curiosity and not as a malicious act. The story has several versions, but according to the latest interpretation of the mythic Pandora means all-giving. Let's hope the beautiful ladies working at the new bar understand the Greek mythology, are working accordingly and are giving away all the nice things we are dreaming of...

The new Pandora Bar on Soi 7 opened on September 17th 2010 and can get the next meeting point in Pattaya. It's airy and luxurious, has a perfect service and you can overlook a great part of one of Pattaya's most popular Soi.

The managment of Soi 7's new Pandora Bar also runs Thailand Charters, an exclusive motor yacht charter service, right here in Pattaya.

Dolphin Beer Garden opened on Pattaya Beach Road / Central Road, just in front of the Centera Beach Hotel.

During the last few weeks you could get this impression: On October 12th 2010 Deputy Superintendent Pol. Lt. Col. Chaiyadit Panna and his men from Bangkok's Intellectual Property Rights Coordination Center, Region 2, raided Pattaya Plaza, confiscated fake goods and arrested 2 dealers. Only a few days before Pol. Major Nattagit Meesook, from Thai Government Anti Piracy Department Region 4 visited Mike Shopping Mall and 'accidentally' discovered fake goods worth hundreds of thousand baht. On the 7th of October 2010 Lieutenant Colonel Khuanphichai Manojarernsap and his team of Crime Suppression Special Unit officers from Bangkok conducted a sting operation on the Mandarin Bar in Soi 6 and arrested 17 women including the female manager of the bar. On the 9th of October 2010 Lieutenant Colonel Choosak Kaytong conducted a sting operation at the Soho Bar with his team of Crime Suppression Special Unit officers from Bangkok: They arrested seven ladies and the female manager of the venue. It seems that this operations are undermining local authorities, but perhaps this men are simply missing any works at Bangkok and like to enjoy the good air of Paradise Pattaya - and used the raids to justify and to finance the journey. My friend at Soi 9 has another explanation. He told me that the men had the order to clean up City Hall, but their newly installed GPS devices misled the pitiable people. Nevertheless, I don't understand why Bangkok's police doesn't do its homework first and clean up Bangcock...

25 years ago I discovered Pattaya during a day of heavy rainfalls. Many streets were covered by water. A chaos dominated the City, but the receptionist at the hotel told me that everything will be over the next morning. The lady also told me that Pattaya's City Hall promised to upgrade the drains around Pattaya because the drains cannot cope with the tropical rainstorms that are experienced here on an annual basis. That was 25 years ago. On October 14th 2010, at about 03:00, I and my motorcycle were trapped on Pattaya's Second Road as well as on South Road by knee-deep water. The hotel didn't survive the last 25 years (it got replaced by the new dusitD2 and The Avenue), but the drains apparently did. The flooding in Pattaya (and all over Thailand) isn't the result of 'Global Warming', but the result of missing forethought and missing planning. Pattaya's swans remain geeses...

Pattaya has two types of streets: Streets with sidewalks and streets without sidewalks. Streets without sidewalks are designated for vehicles only, not for pedestrians. Vehicles are buses, cars and motorcycles. A bicycle isn't a vehicle in Pattaya. Bicycle riders in Pattaya are treated like pedestrians. Streets with sidewalks can be used for walking, as long as pedestrians do not disturb the traffic. Sidewalks are earmarking a pedestrian area only and are not recommended for any kind of walking. Sidewalks in Pattaya are places to build up police boxes, phone boothes, cookshops and any other kind of small businesses or even night markets. Never use any street in Pattaya as a meeting point, even if you are used to do it in your country. Traffic regulations in Pattaya are very different from the ones you know in Pakistan, India, Italy, Southern France or any Arab country. Pattaya has its very own traffic regulation: The larger the vehicle, the more rights its driver has, independent of what the actual Thai law suggests. And keep in mind: All Traffic Lights in Pattaya are Street Art, ignore them or you will disturb Pattaya's flow of traffic.

All information published on this page are as accurate as possible, but this one is a joke: Pattaya doesn't have any streets, it has Sois, Sais and Thanons. These are areas that can be used for any kind of traffic, as parking lots, as business places or as water canals...

A Gentlemen's Club was (or still is) a members-only private club. It originally set up by and for English upper class men in the eighteenth century. Public entertainments, such as musical performances and the like, were not a feature of this sort of clubs. The clubs were second homes where men could mix with their friends. They also were a retreat for men who wished to get away from their female relations. In the United States the term Gentlemen's Club is frequently used as a euphemism for strip clubs. Here in Pattaya the term Gentlemen's Club is in most cases a synonym only for a Ripoff Club. That's the difference between Thailand and good old England...

Organized by Chonburi's Provincial Administrative Organisation and GMM Grammy the evening happened on September 25th between Pattaya's Soi 6 and the famous Hard Rock Hotel. Its main sponsors were Isuzu and Beer Chang.
The event was interrupted a few times by a few raindrops.

Farangs wondered why it's possible to place advertisements of beer everywhere, when Thailand's law is forbidding any kind of promotion of alcoholic beverages.

Whether a law gets enforced or not depens on the mood of the police, we got told. Apparently Pattaya's Police as well as Sattahip's Military Police were in a very good mood during September 25th 2010.

The new venue, announced as Lima-Lima, at Bali Hai's Entertainment Complex seems to be a centenary project: A (n)ever ending story?

Last month, during the London Fashion Week, the fashion industry told the mass media that the time of cheap clothes has definitely gone. Just after the announcement the price of simple T-shirts here in Pattaya slipped down to 39 Baht for unprinted ones and to 59 Baht for stained shirts! Apparently to prove the truth of the disclosure...

Ready to wear. You don't have to wait weeks or even months as in Paris, Rome and London until you can get the clothes. Prices start at 199 Baht - that's not only a lot cheaper than at Fashion Shows, the clothes are wearable too...

From Central Pattaya to Phuket on 3rd Road its a few minutes only. Madrid is a few meters from Central Road only, Paris is a stone's throw from Walking Street on Soi Diamond and Hollywood is located just behind North Pattaya's BigC shopping center.

And in a few weeks you will discover that Marocco moved to the Northern End of Pattaya's Third Road. The world's map definitively needs a redesign.

Do not believe any advertisement! You don't need an expensive mattress to have a good sleep - all you need is to lay down in Pattaya...

Pattaya offers the same conditions as Suzuka - almost daily.

Pattaya Tourist Police announced that they teamed up with Pattaya's Bar Girl Association to combat the widespread use of extramarital doping agents as Viagra and its alternatives. Pattaya's Bar Girl Association claimed that the use of Viagra, Cialis, Levitra and Kamagra threatens the health of their members. It's like working OT (overtime) without being paid for, a lady told the media. This kind of doping is a threat not a treath, she added. Therefore Pattaya Tourist Police decided to test male tourists in Pattaya for the use of doping agents. If the analysis proofs the use of (an) erectile dysfunction pill(s) the offender will be banned for 2 years from extramarital exercises here in Pattaya as well as in the rest of the country. According to a spokesman from Pattaya Tourist Police, the service is free of charge - at least for the ladies.
