Heavy Rain inaugurated Pattaya's Songkran Festival on April 12th and flooded parts of Pattaya. Obviously you don't need any water pipes to get wet in Pattaya.

Songkran: Where Bars are, People are splashing water.

At the beginning of this year the Overseas Development Institute (ODI), a UK think tank, claimed that the number of overweight and obese adults in the developing world has almost quadrupled to around one billion since 1980. According to the Institute's report, one in three people worldwide is now overweight. The result is a huge increase in heart attacks, strokes and diabetes. Clever, joined-up policies are needed, the ODI says. Therefore iScientist™, NightWalker and Pattaya's most famous Cartoonist Mike Baird decided to publish their ultimate and absolutely revolutionary solution for one of this world's main problem: Let's look back first. At the beginning of the Industrial Revolution very few people could be called obese, but with the introduction of the automobile by Karl Benz and later by Henry Ford the picture changed very fast. The chiefs got fat. But why? They purchased a car and abandoned to march to their workingplaces. And today? Today the workers are fat and the chiefs are slim and healthy. Why? The superiors drive still their cars to their workingplaces, but after work - or even during the working hours - they are visiting Fitness clubs or are using a bicycle to enhance their fitness, burn the fat and are improving their health. And what does their workforce? They hit home as fast as possible to enjoy the latest soap opera with a bottle (or more) of beer. It's especially visible here in Thailand. About one third of Thailand's population already owns a car and almost everybody runs a motorcycle. The motorcycles as well as the cars usually are parked just in front of the door. To cover the 100m to the next 7-ELEVEN Thais use their vehicles, they don't walk. The result you can see every evening on Pattaya's Beach Promenade: About 50% of the Beauties are already overweight. 25 years ago walking at Pattaya's Beach was a pleasure, it was almost impossible to discover a fat service girl. Not McDonald's nor Pizza Hut are responsible for today's obesity. It's the peoples laziness. The lack of exercises is responsible for today's overweight problems. Therefore there is only one solution to tackle the problem: Ban all kinds of motorized vehicles! Let the people walk and obesity will disappear within weeks.
The air will improve as will the health of all citizens of this world. Pattaya Mayor Itthiphol Kunplome just told his City Hall that's the best idea I ever heard since I installed my flying Dolphins on Pattaya's North Road and on Bali Hai. Starting from April 1st, 2015, Pattaya will ban all traffic from our streets. I will transfer the city into the world's first pedestrian friendly Beach-less Beach Resort. We will get rid of all this unscrupulous Mini Van and Baht Bus drivers, the scamming Jet Ski vendors and all that stinky tourist busses. I will transform Bali Hai's fully automatic parking nightmare into a fabulous 24hrs nightclub and I will get millions of Baht from Thailand's Government to realize the sh*t recommended by Pattaya News Flash and its contributors on April 1st.

Pattaya Mail about Pattaya's pedestrian-crossing traffic lights.

We don't do our duties. We do not enforce the Bus Stop regulation. We are lazy. Everybody knows it. They didn't ask us if we like the Bus Stops, therefore we use the Bus Stop areas to park our own vehicles. Basta! our Police says.

Pattaya Mail points the finger on Pattaya's pedestrian-crossing traffic lights, another absurd waste of money. Obviously installed to fill up somebody's pockets - as the still not working Bali Hai Parking nightmare. Pattaya Daily News reports today that our Police arrested Taxi Drivers occupying Bus Stops on Beach Road.

During the evening hours the Green Tree Restaurant is allocating the Bus Stop area as privat parking area for its customers - apparently with impunity...

86% of all CCTV Cameras in Pattaya are Out of Order Pattaya Police Superintendent Col. Supachai Puikaewkam had to reveal to Bangkok Metropolitan Police Deputy Commissioner Maj. Gen. Adul Narongsak. From Pattaya's 35 cameras just 5 are working. We don't have the money to repair or replace them, the Superintendent said. If Pattaya's lazy Police would do their duties and fine the parking and red light violators they would have enough of money to repair or replace the cameras.

People like to play this kind of Dart. Sometimes it's illegal, sometimes it seems to be legal. According to the law all kind of gambling is illegal in Thailand. (The only exception is the state-run Lottery). But Pattaya's Police act incalculable. At the end of March people could play the games unmolested. 2013 Pattaya's Police and their anti-gambling unit arrested the owners of the boothes and confiscated all their goods.

myLady™ explains: If you support Pattaya's scrubby Police with a few thousand Baht this kind of gaming is 'legal' - otherwise it's 'illegal'. Same happens if you play cards with friends at your home: If you pay, Police do not prosecute the case - otherwise they will arrest you. It's Up to You and your wallet!

A visitor asks: Why Pattaya's Police do not wear helmets?
myLady™ answers: Pattaya's Police has nothing to protect.

Police Colonel Supachai Phuikaewkhum: Can be seen everywhere on Pattaya's Billboards and on advertisment cars cruising on Pattaya's Streets. myLady™ says: Everybody has to know who's the boss here in Pattaya's Soi 9.

Pattaya Soi 9: Pattaya's famous Police Station got a new painting.

It's not true: The tourists using the pontoons as footpath or playground are stupid. The picture above shows, the modification doesn't help. We recommend to place signs along the Beach: Use the buoys at your own risk! Pattaya officials told the press that the city's new swimming-area buoys, the red-and-white floats, were tested strenuously. They blamed buoy-related accidents on drunk, careless and out-of-shape tourists. Pattaya police blamed a recent drowning on such behavior. The buoys were not designed as platforms on which tourists could walk, Pattaya City Hall and engineering experts at Chulalongkorn and Ramkhamhaeng universities say.

Pattaya is missing the tourists Suthep Thaugsuban and his anti-democratic People's Democratic Reform Committee (PDRC) are driving away.

The Fat Aunt on Naklua Road: Still Pattaya's #1 Bargain!. Please CLICK for the address! No Inflation! Now 1 Baht less than before!

20 pastilles (40 grams) of Scott's Vitamin C are announced to cost 49 Baht at Tesco/Lotus. Its 'Jumbo' pack contains 50 pastilles (100 grams) and costs 149 Baht. Be aware: You pay 22% more for the BigPack! It seems that the product managers of Thailand's Supermarkets know that nobody in this highly educated country knows cross-multiplication calculations.

Soi 8: Premier Club, also known as Club 23 or Skydive's Coyote Club closed once again.

An all new hotel, dubbed as The Siamese Hotel (North Pattaya), is in the work on Pattaya's 3rd Road, between North Road and Soi Photisarn, actually far away from any Baht Bus route.

This coping slab, made from 'high quality' concret, didn't withstand the weight of a car. It was placed on Central Road's Paloma Meeting Place a few weeks ago and broke a day after Pattaya's Music Festival. It's just what happens if you do your business with friends only, but not with professionals.

A few days after we published this picture, the cover was replaced, with something that seems to be of the very same quality. Obviously people will never learn...

Rattanakorn renamed its struggling Blue Rahtree Beer Bar Complex. The venue is now dubbed as Boom Boom Bar Complex. The area of the failed Rehab A Go-Go Club is now occupied by three open air bars.

Pattaya's MBK Center on Second Road is still empty and perhaps it's even better this way: As you can see, the people are preparing a foodcourt with the expressive name Foodcord. Instead of a Pizza you will get an original Thai Pisa.

Bistro Wine & Café opened on Pattaya's Second Road and replaces New Plaza's former ninety-four coffee shop. In addition to Café and Wine the beautiful Bistro serves some excellent foods.

PattayaSweethearts just published pictures from a new Short-time Bungalow Hotel located in a small Soi off South Pattaya's Thepprasit Road.

PattayaSweethearts also published pictures from an upcountry Short-time Motel located somewhere in this oversexed country.

Venus Lounge, the former Gentleman's Club located on Pattaya's 3rd Road, announces to reopen (again) as Venus Love Lounge.

Ducati Pattaya on the move: Ducati moved its showroom from Pattaya's 3rd Road to Central Road. The new outlet is located between BigC Extra! and Foodland.

The club was closed since February 14th, 2014.

Apelsin and Deja Vu, a restaurant and a Russian Ladies dance club, both located on the ailing Soho Square and announced as the World's Super Clubs(!), had to close during the first week of April. They run less than 2 resp. 1 month(s) only. Soho Square doesn't seems to be the place for successful businesses.

Harem 2, the dependence of Soi Diamond's Flatrate Harem, opened on Walking Street and welcomes not only bactrian camels....

The Stone's House opened near the entry of Pattaya's most popular street. With it's hot (and loud) beats produced by a live band it will be a strong competitor to many of Walking Streets clubs, but especially for the Hot Tuna Rock Bar and the Utopia Rock House.

XO Club, located at the entry to New Living Dolls One, closed again. According to advertisements on a local TV channel the club is on the block.

Work is on the way on the back end of Jomtien's popular Rompho Bar Complex to create a Bangkok style Buffet Resaurant.

Rectification: Some media reported that Jomtien's one and only A Go-Go Club, known as We Are No 1 A Go-Go, has gone dark. As our picture shows, the contrary is true: The bar is still going 'strong'.

A marching band from Satriwithaya 2 School ordered a 3.1 million Baht trip to a competition in the Netherlands on March 29th, but they didn't had the money to cover expenses associated with their trip. What they do? They bagged a 3.1 million Baht donation from billionaire businessman Tan Passakornnatee. The generous billionaire meet the band with a cheque for 3.1 million Baht. He said he would give them the cash, but scolded the band for the way they went about asking for the money. This is not good. It's not right. If you want something, you have to go to [relevant agencies] and show them what you can do, he said. Since you've come this far, I'll give you the money so you can make your dreams come true. I don't want the money back. But from now on, don't do this again. I will not give out money in this manner again. This will be my first and last, he added. Shortly after the school got the money, Anusorn Pornneramit, the trainer and director of Max Percussion Theatre, said the marching band had paid for air tickets to the Netherlands but they now need another 8 million Baht to compete in the 2014 WGI Percussion World Championships in America on April 10-12, 2014. The band has 50 members and 17 trainers. The total cost of air tickets for the America trip should come to around 4.5 million Baht, while expenses including food and accommodation, will require a further 3.5 million Baht. I'm sure, you know similar incidents - from your Thai girlfriend. At least you know now, where they are learning the shenanigans. It seems to be part of Thailand's Education System.
