One trip was taken up with surgery and I've also done a brief trip for shopping and some other personal business - I'm getting the air fare for free, so it is a viable option. Oh, one more reason......it's the only place I can practice speaking Thai Quote:

It's the working here that makes it a world apart from what everyone else does. I know if I had to go home I would be gutted. I think the best feeling I ever had for LOS was when I worked 3 months Europe and came on holiday for 1 month. I was earning well with my own company in those days. Unlikey to see that again if I went back. |

No need to patronise me, pal. You might get away with talking to other people in this world like they are a 8yo kid but not me!! OK?? Well that is a matter of opinion isn't it? Between you and Tom telling him that he has a sad life in Thailand and dissecting his posts so you can be argumentative does not seem constructive to me. No wonder he feels like BigD.

It's all well and good defending your mate but if he'd directed even half of his comments towards Pinoys rather than Thais you'd spit the dummy so far you'd have a bloody polar bear's eye out The only reason Mirky feels like Big D is because he's posting like him and getting a similar response.

I think the best bet here would be for the people who like Bangkok to tell the new poster exactly what it is they like to do. He cn decide if that's for him or he would prefer Pattaya.
No secret. I'm not a fan of Bangkok. Let's leave it at that. |

Hi
I cannot speak for Bangkok, don`t know it. Also I`m more of a night time person but I don`t see Pattaya being lacking in non bar/drinking activities in the daytime. ferocious already suggested a route for a long walk, try far end of naklua and take a walk towards Jomtien, that will take some time. non tourist place, just 1 example, behind the naklua fish market there is a large open air area where many Thais go to relax, there are a few basic exercise machines there free to use if you want. Exercise classes at 6.00 PM most days, free or 10 baht up to you. Just watch and listen to the music or participate. Some people walk around the area, some jog and sometimes some young Thais who are fixed gear bike enthusiasts come and ride their bikes. I go there once a week or so to chill out and relax. Heading towards Jomtien you could always walk or jog up the hill that leads to Buddha hill, then take a walk up the hill leading to the statues etc. Then you`ve got at least 2 bowling alleys in Pattaya, 1 very near BigC north on 2nd Road, does a cheap basic breakfast if you`re up early enough. Go to a gym, fair few in Pattaya Gym/sauna/Muay Thai/tennis courts all at Fairfax, not the cheapest but has a good reputation for facilities. Go play pool or snooker. Plenty more things to do and IMO there`s simply not enough hours in the day nor days in the week. |

Personally speaking, I don't much care for Pattaya these days for a whole host of reasons but I wouldn't dream describing it as boring to the OP, if for no other reason than it's obviously not to a significant number of people. |
