Bars and clubs are closed in Thailand

It is high season in Thailand now and many people are coming here to experience the normal quota of beer and Thai girls for the year. You can see on some online forums that the current funeral of Her Royal highness the sister of his Royal Highness King of Thailand is really disturbing them.

They can not accept that fact that the girls and beer bars are closed for a few days and they are crying out their anger on the forums.

Maybe they should call home to their wife’s and complain?

When I was driving trough Pattaya last night most of the big clubs have closed the Go Go bars are open but the light and music is out. Money rules Thailand for some people.

Loy Kratong festival last night

Some people that are new to Thailand have asked me what happen last night. I was the night of Loy Kratong. A big festival in Thailand that people celebrates every year when the moon is full. If you seen the floats in the Thai air ways advertising movies, that is Loy Kratong.

I do not want to go over it again here since I already written about it. You can find my version and how I celebrate Loy Kratong and the wikipedia version Loy Kratong Wikipedia.

Samui in South Thailand disaster zone

Personal Thailand strongly advice you to skip this full moon party. If you are already on the way or there already you know that some streets are filled with 70 cm of water.

This time of year people get stranded on Samui and other Island in South Thailand and accidents happen with speed boats when they try to go out in strong winds.

If possible avoid Samui right now and wait a week or so to the water have gone down. The flooding has been worse every year because people cut down the threes on the hills to make house, off course against the law.

Chumphon province in south Thailand that is also declared a disaster zone.

Just say no to One Two Go Thai airline

I just want to send out a small travel warning about One Two Go that will start flying in Thailand again. Please do not use that airline, they are the once that crashed in Phuket recently and forbidden to fly. They have used forged documents for their pilots and hire pilots with not much training. I have nothing against low cost carriers but this airline should in any other country never fly again.

Please do not risk your life for a few dollars and help stop this airline before another accident happen. Just say no to One two go when it come back in the market.

One two go airline close down
