Nice bank clerk at Branch 0550 in Jomtien. She had a nice sense of humor.
Kanchana Sookprasong and her boss. The boss could smile as well. |
|
|
The guard at the bank was very helpful. Looks a little bit sad, but he could
smile. Maybe his salary is not high enough. Off
to Høvdingen restaurant and bar at Soi 13/2. |
|
|
Soi 13/2 is a typical Pattaya
street with everything. Including two Norwegian restaurants and a post
office. Further down the street, The Sailor Inn,
another Norwegian restaurant, but no pickled herrings. |
|
|
Automated bar tabs were swiftly
delivered and they were neat and readable.
The menu on site was quite different from the
one on the web. Martin
missed halibut, the reason he came. |
|
|
The entrance of Høvdingen.
If you need a massage, no problem. Across the street, you can get
personalized massage with shower. |
|
|
Martin's pea soup, a healthy
portion, very tasty with brown bread. Good. View
of Pattaya beach. |
|
|
We took the wrong taxi and ended up
on the Cliff. The
Royal Cliff Beach hotel. Lowest rate starts at some 230 US a night. |
|
|
Very impressive hotel at a price.
The sea front is even more impressive. |
|
|
The bar with impressive prices as
well. The "local" pool next to the hotel. |
|
|
Nice to swim in, but no
customers. The infinity pool was much better
used. |
|
|
Looking South-wards.
Looking North-wards. |
|
|
The edge of the pool.
Lai and China boys outside the hotel. |
|
|
The Cliff group's
philosophy. The dining hall is packed with China
boys. |
|
|
A derelict building
that was forced to stop due to defacing a nearby Buddha.
Another view of the same crap. |
|
|
Rows and rows of condos
that most probably will not be sold. Somebody
lost their helmet. |
|
|
Inside the Cliff.
Song with her friend Timmy, the owner of no derelict Smile restaurant. |
|
|
Song and friend Porn
(beautiful in Thai). Time for soup across the
street. The soup chefs are shown here. Their names are Ms. Thai and Mr.
Sine. |
|
|
Time for soup. Healthy and nutritious soup with
hardly any fat.
Martin empty beer boxes. One box per week.
Martin and Lai at the soup kitchen at
lunchtime. |
|
|
A panoramic
view of the plot next door, owned by a Norwegian crook, Hvidsten.
Real all about it.
They are taking away the vegitation as they did
last year. What for?
|
|
|
The morning pool is
rally attractive.
Pat with Pirin in the background. |
|
|
Lovely pool with the
condo in the background. Only Lai and Martin is there in the morning.
Pirin is one of the few Thais that use the pool to some extent. |
|
|
Lai hiding her face.
The pool and the condo. |
|
|
Lai's lovely dark face
from swimming in the sun. |
