I think I told you this before but do not rent a jet ski in Thailand. It can ruin your holiday and the wallet for a while.
Many tourists have ended up paying more then enough to scammers paying like land sharks on innocent tourist. The government of the different tourist’s areas has “tried” to do something’s but since the scams are so profitable nobody really want to stop doing them. Everybody kicks the money up to tourist’s police and higher so why stop it?
The best way to show them that they have to clean up their act is to stop renting them, just stop all of you tourists coming to Thailand.
At least one good thing is that the Pattaya police have said they do not want to take care of the problem anymore. If the rental company on the beach wants to go to the police after you refuse to pay the silly amount for no damage on the Jet Ski.
Then please go to the police and tell them that you are being scammed and want to file a report and notify your embassy. The police can not do anything to you because this is a civil matter and has nothing to do with the police. If the rental company threaten you tell the police and then let them escort you away from the rental company and do not go back to that beach anymore.
The police have told the rental company this as well, at least in Pattaya so that they will try screaming and other ways to get the scammed money.

I can give you the first review of the WOW California in Pattaya. The place has a huge lobby and a smaller gym section but the Yoga and Group X rooms are nice and big.
The personal trainers are plentiful like the fitness center in Paragon it is clear that the WOW fitness center is betting on rich clients in Pattaya.
There is no sauna but a security guard is present in the shower room to make sure we do not do anything bad in the showers.
They do not give out any free towels so people dry themselves with the hair dryers and that is pretty funny to watch. I do not think WOW safes lots of money not having any towels because the power to the hair dryer must cost a lot.
One other bad thing with the missing towels is that nobody dries of there gear and that’s kind of grosses.
If Eric Levine troughs in some free small towels and a sauna and maybe change the CD every week it will upgrade the first WOW center in Pattaya Thailand.

A Swedish man drowned in the pool in the Pattaya hotel where he was staying. His Thai girlfriend got worried after breakfast when he did not come back and went looking for him. The pool boy found the man of the bottom of the floor and got him up but could save his life.
The hospital said that they thought he died from heart attack from the heat and to much swimming.

The Police in Pattaya are really trying to crack down on false driver license and tax for motorbikes. If you are driving a motorbike in Pattaya or have a girlfriend driving you the time has come to look over your papers.
Remember that you also need a helmet when you driving around and you can not hold your mobile phone in one hand and drive with the other. The police will also ask you for a copy of your passport and the latest visa. So to be totally hassle free and fee free you need to have that with you as well.
Since the many people have lost their bag or gold chain when driving with a motorbike remember to hide the gold chain and put the bag inside the bag if possible for a safer ride.
