Songkhran
by JohnandSuzie
This event is over a few days in april the hotest and dryest month.......it is normally over a few days but once in Pattaya a few years ago it went on for 2 weeks........
Basically the whole country erupts into big water fights............you will wherever you are get wet in doors or outside...........don't bother changing into dry clothes you will just get wet again even battles rage while driving down the road and accident rates go up.
Its mad but fun and if you think it will annoy you after a while then miss this time of year or stay in your hotel room.................thats exciting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hopf - Microbrewery
by prozgen
german microbrewery. they ve got promotions on the early hours - at 5 pm when they open where u buy a liter and get your second liter for free. they also do have some good food to go along. check out the sauteed chicken with dried chilli & cashew nuts. its extremely fattening but what the hell when u r on vacation ;-)
they have a band performing nightly after 9 pm. this is a non-smoking bar/restaurant and they do not have seats outside. so if u wanna smoke, u got to do it at the entrance. anything goes.
Lunch by Beach
by Wann about On the beach
I always enjoy lunch on beach as everywhere they offer beach chair to sit and always offer a memu of variety kind of food. We sometimes enjoy seafood or even just drink, relax, enjoy scene of beach. I think the price is also reasonable.
the tower, nice beach
by IrishPaddy
about a 50B (1 euro) ride away is jomtein beach, word warning ie dont expect much out of the beach side AGED water park. there is a 600ft tower which u can get a cable car up to, and if you afriad of heights i recommend against it.
u can get leap of top (terrifying) strapped to a cable and sail down for a few cent, but its not for faint hearted as cars look like ants from this height and i dunno if tower meets safety regulations!!!!
the beach is nice, ko lan off about 3 miles, and u can relax with a beer for a euro under straw umberellas tho ppl haunt u to rent over priced jet ski's and buy stuff eg got a genuine croc skin wallet for less than 8 euro.
The Bottle Museum
by Wann
Before I left Pattaya, I visited the Bottle Museum... very surprise for me, the work on many size of the bottles. If you getting bored to hang around on beach, this will be a good place to visit. Inside the area they present the history itself. various kind of glass bottle containing elaborately crafted creations, including the usual vessels. All are the works of the Dutch master Peter Bedelais.
Open daily from 10.a.m. until 10 p.m.
