Galleries All Over!
by RoyJava
It is world-wide well-known that the Thais have been artisticly influenced by many sources. And Thai painting traditions were mostly confined to religious art, of a high quality. Slowly some artists delighted in breaking Thai social codes and means of expression. The most important artists are frequently exhibited and collected outside of Thailand.
A lot of artists earn their money in the commercial branch of painting. You'll find a lot of galleries all over, even exposing the same paintings. It is big business to create a fake Monet, Van Gogh or Renoir. Anything you want can be painted. Think a copy is something else as an imitation. What is worse? Take it ... or leave it!
Hundreds of Bars
by ratherton about Hundreds of Bars
This is were all the action takes place at night in Pattaya City. Off the beach road and several small streets: Soi 1, Soi 2 etc.
There are countless bars in these side streets, some have pool tables, in others you can play games like Connect 4 against the girls working behind the bar. By the way, if they ever make Connect 4 an olympic sport, Thailand will win the gold.
Prostitution is rife in these streets - I'd never seen anything like it before and it's certainly not subtle. If you are offended by this, just stay away from the streets at night.
However, if you are female and want a holiday without any unwanted attention from males - it's probably ideal.
Don't forget your bug spray
by Ike_2005 about Street Food
Before you ask, I didn't eat any of this street vendors delicacies. They sell an assortment of bugs. I watched this girl eat the giant waterbug in the picture. It was pretty disgusting to say the least. I would rather starve than eat that, and I damn sure would not pay for one. NONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Elephant Village
by trevndebs
Highly recommend this trip which can be booked from anywhere and costs 450 Baht including minibus transport.
It lasts about 1.5 hours and you get to learn about how they worked in the forests.
Best of all, you can ride on the elephants, either on their backs or on a seat for the not so agile!
