Wow, this chair was last cleaned in late November. Have a look at how much dirt there is in the air here !

Gross ..imagine what our lungs look like!!

We all know that Thailand is what must be the sex capitol of the world, but Pattaya takes it to a whole new level. The place is full of middle aged men, mainly from Australia and the UK. This is weird as its also full of Russian couples and families from everywhere just on a holiday.

Beach side bars at night

You see some men who really are questionable…. in the morning you will walk along the beach and notice that the bars are already pretty full of single men waiting for the girls to turn up to work, its 9am and they have their first beer in hand. You also see a lot of men in wheelchairs and disabled men (ie on crutches minus limbs) getting their sexual needs satisfied. Thats something I have never seen before…

Another thing which is strange is how the sex industry is there, its openly there and available, but they aren’t in your face and harassing you . The girls stand quietly along the beach at night, and the bars are just full of happy drinkers… what is sad the number of old men who obviously have wives and kids at home as you can see most all have wedding rings on.

It was time for a escape, so we booked a cheap flight on Air Asia. Great airline, cheap in the basic fare but when you put in the addons it gets pricey. Word of warning, always pay the $10 extra per seat and get Row 1 or a emergency exit row. All other rows have about 3 inches of space between the seats!! Also book and prepay for your food before you travel as you need to pay cash onboard and they dont always have the choices.

We chose Pattaya because although it has a seedy side, its a cheap place to stay on the beach. To get from Bangkok airport to Pattaya takes some planning, we found on Tripadvisor.com a taxi service which we booked online. It was Baht1000 from the airport to Pattaya and Baht900 for the return… the trip was about 1hr 15 min each way. The cars were great, one was a a Toyota Cressida, the other trip was in a Toyota Innova van. Too book your transfer contact  this guy…

For hotels we  found the Siam Bayview Hotel looked good, we got a Oceanview room with breakfast for $81 per night on www.agoda.com. When we checked in we were pleasantly surprised to be given a upgrade to a suite… which was a huge room!

Every morning at 7-10 am hundreds of man people parasailing
