Pattaya is not all about bar girls
Last night at the Strand hotel Pattaya Walking Street and open air disco with DJ legend Fedde Le Grand rocked the house with the help of the not yet opened club Lima Lima. No 1000 people that say would come in Facebook came and maybe that is a good thing because the place would have been too small and hot to hold them.
Normally in Pattaya, most places only fills up when you have a special event and place dance music you can see on any Pattaya New Channel that when you turn the camera on the dance floor it looks empty. I saw the white concept strand bar at Pullman’s only four girls rocking the dance floor. If you then go to any place in Pattaya that cater bar girls you see a different story.
Last night at the Lima Lima night gave Pattaya hope that Pattaya can have a great party that is not about taking a girl home for the night the few bar girls there yesterday looked pretty lost. Nevertheless, many of them also enjoyed the great party feeling that Fedde Le Grand and the gang behind Lima Lima gave us.
That crowd was a mix of Russian tourists, local older expats and their younger Thai girls, the Indian without shirts gang, the younger expats with no shirts but plenty of tattoos gang and some sporadic female expats and Thai girls.
I hope that Lima Lima can and will deliver what they promise on their Facebook that they will cater to people that love dance first and the people who love Thai girls second. It might help that the people behind the concert has Swedish girl friend and he think that she is the best girl ever despite all the other girls Pattaya has to offer.
Congrats to Lima Lima and way to go Fedde Le Grand you rocked a hot Pattaya!

Your Thai daughter in Pattaya
When I was walking in Pattaya last week I noticed all the mix children there are in Pattaya, it must be the center of half-Thai half-western children in the world right now. Maybe somewhere in northeast Thailand have a tighter community but not bigger.
In Thailand, mix with western and Thai called Luk-krueng and many of them are big stars in Thailand right now. Some of them have never been to Thailand before and some speak fluently Thai. Most of them do not speak about their parents and nobody really asks.
Thai Luk-krueng
However, not all the Thai Luk-krueng can be stars in Thailand and the fashion to be a Luk-krueng can soon fade out. You also need to come from a decent family and growing up with the grandmother in Essarn will probably not make you a star.
Now a few days later I started to thinking about the idea of all these cute mixed Thai daughters running around in Pattaya speaking perfect English, what will a dad do? Not only has he look out for the Thai guys that thinks the girls look exotic he also have to look out for the twice as old expats and tourist in Pattaya.
He cannot really judge the other men for running after his daughter because in most cases the wife and mother of the Luk-krueng are probably also half his age.
So will the father let the daughter date these older men or will he stop her blaming age? Will the daughter then blame the father to date a much younger wife? You know how teens are they like to blame the parents and the father will leave the goal wide open for fight.
Work in a GO GO bar
In a worst-case scenario, the girl might meet the wrong type of people and ends up in a Go Go bar or a beer bar like her mother. Believe me I have seen stupid fathers bringing back the children and wife to the Go Go bar where they met, what a total moron. That will send the most dangerous signs to a child that your mother think is ok and father think is ok so go work in a bar.
Move away from Pattaya if you have children
Pattaya is no place for this kinds of child to grow up, children should not even be allowed to be in Pattaya if I had my way. TAT can name it whatever children friendly city they want but sex drugs and crime day and night is not a place to grow up. If you have a child move away from Pattaya as soon as you can many other places actually have a beach that you can actually swim in the sea as well.

Normally I wake up two nights a week because of the garbage collectors scream and bang the bins as hard as they can when they collect garbage. If I am lucky, they stop to sort out the garbage in my street as well but that does not happen that often. I am so lucky when they do because the nice stench stays in my street for hours and in the middle of the night as well, I am so blest.
Then every month the nice ladies from the billing department comes and ask for 40 THB and I get a cool bill with no contact information or company name on it. When I once complained to the women that they had not collect the garbage, they just said they had no idea they just collect the bills. Well off course how stupid I am why should they know anything they just want my money.
Now the garbage truck has not been on my street for two weeks and it is getting all smelly and nice in the heat. I really miss someone waking up in the middle of the night as well so I called 1337 to ask what is going on. They gave me a number to the garbage people and I said:
-“Why do you not collect my garbage I paid my bill every month this is the second time now”
-“Why do they not collect your garbage?” the man answered.
-“Why do you ask me why you not collect my garbage?” I replied back to the man.
“Because I do not know why they not collect your garbage,” the man replied.
That was the end of that conversation and I still do not know why they not come and collect my garbage in the middle of the night for two weeks now.

April 26th, 2010 — Bangkok, Politics, Red Shirts
The All Shirt Rally In Bangkok
No color
The Red Shirts have taken off the shirts and put on other colored shirts to make it harder for the police and army to catch them when they leave or enter the protest site. With no color on the shirts the protesters can hardly be arrested and it will make it more difficult for the army to crack down on them.
Swine Flue
Some of the Red Shirts have gotten swine flu inside the camp near world trade and they are treated at the police hospital of all places nearby.
No TV
Someone has distributed the signal of the state TV when the Thai PM was supposed to speak. He made a tape recording and before it broadcasted, everything went black for a few minutes. I think most of the people in Thailand thought that a coup was eminent.
Flip Flopping on crack down
The Army changes their views back and forward during the week regarding the eminent crack down. For now, it looks like they are supporting a crackdown.
Time is running out
The Red Shirts do not have manpower enough to march out again, most of the reds are tired and if they leave their camp the army can close it. Nevertheless, if they not push hard enough the Thai government might just let them stay there until they leave or get so few they cannot fight back. If the rain season comes soon the rest of the Red Shirts will probably leave. The governments on the other hand need to make the Red Shirts leave so they not look like total fools.
No Luxury bag is worth dying for
The Reds have closed down one of the most visited mall in Bangkok and people have stopped from buying luxury goods. However, the same Reds could never afford any of these bags. So will the Thai government and army want to kill people so that people can buy more luxury goods? The Reds will just come back in a few weeks or month and start all over.
No money worth dying for
I know you all heard that people paid to join the Red Shirts movement and I can reveal to you Thailand big secret that most people pay people from all camps not only Red Shirts get money to vote or demonstrate. However, the hard-core reds that are left now ready to die do not do it for the money.
