As you might expect, there was much pomp and ceremony to greet the arrival of the first Bangkok to Pattaya weekend tourist train service as the first train of the new service rolled in to Pattaya train station on schedule at 09:15 on Saturday the 17th March 2018. You can see details of the new […]

Retox Outback Bar Restaurant Pattaya
Retox Outback Sports Bar & Restaurant in east Pattaya is a bar and restaurant with something for everyone. It’s a spacious place with 2 outdoor bars, indoor bar, indoor and outdoor dining areas, children’s play area, live sport on TV, pool table, and even an onsite golf shop. What I like about Retox Outback is, […]
Continue ReadingPattaya Elephant Jungle Sanctuary
There is no elephant riding, trekking, or circus tricks at Pattaya Elephant Jungle Sanctuary. In fact, the Elephant Jungle Sanctuary is the first tourist attraction in Pattaya to offer the opportunity to interact with elephants in a “elephant friendly” environment. The elephants at Pattaya Elephant Jungle Sanctuary are retired from shows, or have been rescued […]

Cable wakeboarding is not new to Pattaya, there was a long established wakeboarding park called Lakeland Cable Ski, which unfortunately has now closed. Never fear, a new cable wakeboarding park called Thai Wake Park has opened in East Pattaya. Seeing as my son was meeting friends there I thought I would go check the place […]

This is not a trip report, so I can’t tell you how the fishing is at Freddie’s. Like most anglers, I had the bug real bad, I simply could not get enough, I wasn’t happy unless I was sat at the bank of a lake with a rod or pole in my hand. I rarely […]

The route took us through Huay Yai, while passing through a little village named Ban Chak Ngaew my wife proclaimed there is a Chinese Walking Street here which we must visit. Ban Chak Ngaew has a […]

Indian Roots is located next to Mabprachan lake, East Pattaya (see map below) in what was formerly Mulligans Pub. What I like about Indian Roots (besides the food) is the very welcoming atmosphere and the fact that they are family friendly. They have a wonderful spacious outdoor dining area, complete with atmospheric lighting, and most […]

You may have drove past the Courtyard restaurant before now, you may have noticed it, or you may not. The Courtyard is a rather inconspicuous place, the roadside frontal face of the building gives nothing away. But venture inside, and through to the rear of the building there is a delightful open courtyard dining area. […]

Shenanigans By The Lake, as the name suggests, is located at the side of Mabprachan Lake in East Pattaya. The food is great, the service is great, and the staff and management are very friendly. Most importantly for myself and the growing number of families with young children in Pattaya, Shenanigans By The Lake is […]
Continue ReadingSheep Farm
Pattaya Sheep Farm is yet another Pattaya tourist attraction focused on family entertainment. I would describe it as a petting zoo, a playground, and feature park rolled in to 1. The main feature is obviously sheep, real life sheep and an abundance of ornamental sheep which are perfect for selfies and souvenir photos. You can […]
