Fireworks in Pattaya 2018
After a break of 2 years, the famous Pattaya International Fireworks Festival will take place again this Friday and Saturday.
Dengue fever, an experience richer
Since recently the weather has been determined by heavy rainfall and then high temperatures. An annoying combination because how do you always dress for that. That's why I got a cold at one point. No cause for concern. The annoying thing, however, was that I was also very hot in the evening. I didn't feel sick yet, but went to the Bangkok clinic on Sukhumvit Road just to be sure.
Selfies are dangerous during a thunderstorm
Due to the highly variable weather in Thailand recently with a lot of rain and thunderstorms, a newspaper report that shows a new side of the dangerous storm was noticed. Whether people continue to walk around with switched on equipment during a thunderstorm is asking for trouble. Usually people are not aware of it and nothing happens. However, it can also turn out differently.
This year the spectacular International Fireworks Festival in Pattaya will take place again. Friday 8 June and Saturday 9 June 2018 are the dates to note in the agenda.
Pattaya then and now
Many nice details can sometimes be found in old books or even the Pattaya Trader. The development of Pattaya and Jomtien can also be clearly seen on the basis of photos. At the well-known viewpoint on Pratumnak Hill (Khao Phra Tumnak), the expansion of Pattaya can be followed like an oil slick. Every year a little bit more.
New database to better track foreigners in Thailand
The Thai authorities intend to develop a computer database to better track foreigners during their stay in Thailand.
Checking accommodation permits in Pattaya
Pattaya authorities continued their crackdown on illegal hotels and checked properties on Beach Road, Second Road and Third Road. Along with others, Pattaya police chief Pol. Col. Apichai Kroppech on May 1 inspections in this area.
Bali Hai pier in Pattaya, a soap opera apart
About 80 percent of the speedboats that used Pattaya Beach have moved back to Bali Hai pier after the city's failed attempt to move them a week earlier.
7-Eleven stores are booming in Thailand
An increasing number of 7-Eleven convenience stores are popping up in Chonburi. It seems as if the management of these stores are afraid to miss a baht on the Lotus and Big C stores.
Remnants of what?
It is always interesting to drive around and see if there is still something to discover. They are not always spectacular discoveries, but sometimes something to think about or fantasize about.
New images on banknotes
Since the new king Maha Vajiralongkorn became heir to the throne after the death of his father King Bhumibol, things have had to be adjusted in the kingdom of Thailand.
Send registered mail to Thailand
Sometimes something has to be sent to Thailand, preferably by registered mail to make sure it arrives. The sender receives proof that it has been sent by registered mail and must keep it carefully. In addition, to be on the safe side, an email with a photo of the proof of postage will be sent to the addressee. So far so good.
Agenda: Amazing Seafood Festival in Pattaya
The Amazing Seafood Festival takes place in Pattaya for the fourth time in a row. This festival will take place on the Beach Road off Soi 4 from May 4 – 8, 2018.
Employment in Thailand and elsewhere
Employment in Thailand is often unclear and unclear. Workers are attracted from abroad, because a lot of work is not carried out by Thais.
Illegal land use in Rayong province investigated
Local officials in Rayong province have inspected Khao Laem Ya-Mu Ko Samet National Park for illegal land use.
Churches in Pattaya
Although much has been written about Pattaya and Thailand, I have not yet come across a topic about churches. While there are still a number of churches in Pattaya and the surrounding area.
Wat Yannasangwararam Woramahaviharn near Pattaya
The Wat Yannasangwararam Woramahaviharn near Pattaya always remains an attractive point to visit. One does not immediately have the idea of visiting a Wat in the traditional sense. Possibly because it is in a very attractive grand park-like area.
