 The book- in a bit of
weird light (sorry folks) by shelnlin
Guys from many nations come here and many Thai women are very surprised on how quickly it takes a male to fall in love with them. Yeah, to a male they would seem pretty cute, they are smaller than most woman and they always seem happy to see you no matter who you are. But as a female who has been to Pattaya,
I kind of felt sorry for a lot of them and while I knew two personally and got to know them as a female friend, I learnt that they didn’t usually liked their job, it was a job to them and they were often making money so they could support their families who lived out in the country or found it hard to get by.
“Hello my Big Big Honey” is a great book to read. It is interesting as it is informative and allows the reader to look at some of the letters that Girls in Thailand (mainly in Bangkok) write to their ‘boyfriends’ when they are back in their own countries and vice versa. Some tales are happy ones, while others show sad stories of mixed emotions between the cultures. The woman like the book says “seem passive but are capable of fighting back” and men who are sometimes totally besotted with these girls that they offer marriage and can often become “so obsessed they cannot let go”.
To find a copy of “Hello my Big Big Honey” check out anyone of the local bookshops in Pattaya and around Thailand itself. Bookazine has a lot of great books for all interests and this one can be found in the Thailand guide section along with many other books written on the same sort of Genre.

Thailand produce red and white wine. Good thai wine is a little bit expensive, around 300 - 600 baht in Supermaket, it come usually from Petchabun Province.
Chateau de Loei, more expensive is consedered the best thai wine. Chateau Grand virache have a taste like really good french wine, Chatemp easy to find even in small supermarket is a good wine.

 gallery-pattaya-thailand by RoyJava
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!

 sweet-stuff-pattaya-thailand by RoyJava
Thai love to bring these Khawng Wáan as presents when visiting somebody. These include grated coconut, coconut milk, rice flavour, cooked sticky rice, tapioca, mung-bean starch, boiled taro, fruits. For crunchy stuff some may contain fresh corn kernels, sugar-palm kernels, lotus seeds, chopped water chestnuts, cooked black beans.
I LOVE all the sweet stuff, especially wrapped in banana or pandan leaves! And those beautiful, strong colours... magnificent! Leave a Comment

 dresses-market-pattaya-thailand by RoyJava
Most of the girls on the streets and in the Go-go bars 're showing their lovely bodies, but the kathoeys love to dress, and buy their extravaganza dresses all adorned with glitters, feathers and spangles, covering their ladyboy bodies. Guess ... I got introduced at the place where they buy their clothes at bargain prices. Just on the market, Central Pattaya, only on Tuesday and Friday open. Yep,... magnificent dresses I saw! And even the mannequins looked like ladyboys ;o) Leave a Comment

 poster-queen-sirikit-thailand by RoyJava
We happen to celebrate the birthday of Her Majesty Queen Sirikit, also named the Golden Queen. Government offices as well public and privat schools are closed during this very important date (August 12, 2006). The beautiful Queen is also considered by all Thais as their mother. Mother's Day used to be celebrated on April 15, but the government decided to move it to August 12 in 1976. Because of the so beloved Golden Queen. Leave a Comment

In Hippie-time it was used to grant flowers to anyone you loved. Flower-power still is hot and, in Holland you'll find flower-stalls all over. In Thailand these stalls are for the locals to buy flowers for their altars, shrines and places special dedicated to their beloved ones. The Indonesian Bali island is well-known for this tradition. The garland ornaments are named "Phuang Malai" by the Thais. Literally that is "Jasmine Garland".
Garlands are also for good luck and worn at birthdays, weddings, graduations (festivals). Not only the Thais though tourists do buy these beautliful flowers, too. Maybe to feel the power symbolically concealed in the colours, the smells, the kind of flower and the special together tied ornament flowers. Probably sooner to surprise their new sweetheart. I love this special floriculture ... Leave a Comment

The swallow birds are famous throughout South Asia and especially in Indonesia, Thailand and Malaysia. This legendary bird is producing the world-wide famous "edible bird-nests soup". The best come from the South-coast of Java and got involved with the legendary Javanese Spirit-Queen Ratu Kidul. Though Thailand comes as second and some Wat's (Temples) are famous for producing these swallow and expensive products.
It is good for the endocrine system, for the body and ... for the beauty of your looks, really! Maybe that is why the Javaneses dedicated the swallow birds to a true Goddess. Even the legendary founding was an originally Chinese one many ages ago, the Thais do gather this product, too, and love the soup. The Thai gatherers get a lot of respect for their dangerous work. Whenever having an edible bird-nests soup think of me ... ;o) Leave a Comment
