Could he sell ice to an Eskimo?

I took this photo on Pattaya beach in Pattaya, Thailand. It was around the opposite area of Soi Tropicana or Soi 6/1. I borrowed a lounge chair under sun umbrellas and ordered a bottle of Singha at the beginning and then after that things I did was like grabbing a bottle of Singha, staring at the sea, taking a few photo or something like that just to unwind and enjoy the good weather in Pattaya, Thailand. A beach vendor came along with some Thai paintings. First of all, I didn't give a hoot, but eventually I realized that the paintings that he tried to sell were not bad at all. Then I asked him to show me more, and started to choose one. Finally, I bought one of the paintings. I don't have money to burn, but it cost 500THB.

I'm almost there...

I took this photo through a cab window right before the cab arriving at Suvarnabhumi International Airport in Thailand. It was in September 2015, by the way. I always enjoy to have some beer and some Thai food at a restaurant in Suvarnabhumi Airport and I did the same in September 2015 too. My favorite restaurant in Suvarnabhumi Airport is on the 3rd floor, not on the departure floor.     I'm not good at remembering names, but the restaurant was named Eat Tion (if my memory is correct). The food was yummy, staff was super nice, so I'll go there again definitely.

ปลาทอด : Deep fried fish in Thai Style

The photo shows deep fried fish in Thai style called Pla Tod (Thai: ปลาทอด). I'm sure you can find this dish anywhere in Thailand, but sauces are various. I took this photo at a hotel's restaurant in Chinatown, Bangkok, Thailand. Their sauce was very spicy and I really loved it. Even when I stay at a different hotel in different area, I went to visit the hotel in Chinatown just for having their Pla Tod and some other Thai food with cold Singha at their restaurant. Their sauce for Pla Tod was like a work genius for spicy Thai food lovers like me.

View of Soi 2 from Soi 3

I took this photo from my hotel's rooftop in Pattaya, Thailand. The hotel was located on Soi 3, just a few minutes walk to Pattaya beach. There was a nice swimming pool and a swim-up bar on the rooftop and I loved to spend time there. It was more than 11 years ago, so the landscape of North Pattaya is slight different now. Next month, I will revisit Pattaya and I already booked a room at a hotel with a bar in a swimming pool. My country is getting chillier and chillier so I'm really looking forward to going back to Thailand. It'll be my 32nd entry to Thailand. I'm obsessed with Thailand especially Pattaya.

Google research first, and then ground research

I took this photo in North Pattaya, Thailand. I've been to Pattaya many times, but normally stay in Central Pattaya. My next trip to Pattaya will be a tad different. I chose a hotel in North Pattaya, and I have 40 days until my stay. So now I'm thinking things what I wanna do in North Pattaya. Not to mention I'll definitely visit Central Pattaya and South Pattaya as usual,  but I'll have more time in North Pattaya. I love new experience, so I started to google about North Pattaya and will make my very own must-dos. I really wanna make the most of my upcoming 6-day vacation.

A pint of Stella Artois in Pattaya, Thailand

The photo shows a pint of Draft Stella Artois which I had at a Thai-Belgium place on Naklua Road in North Pattaya, Thailand. I found that nice place almost a couple of years ago during my last-last trip to Pattaya. My next trip has been confirmed last night. I'll go back to Pattaya, Thailand in the following month. Next time, I'll stay in North Pattaya. My hotel's gonna be just around the corner from the fabulous Thai-Belgium place. So, I'll go another round and then some. I can't wait.

It's just a hop, skip, and a jump away

I took this in Koh Larn (being also spelled Ko Lan, Thai; เกาะล้าน), Thailand. I enjoyed a half day trip to Koh Larn from Pattaya, Thailand and took this photo while I was drinking some Thai beer on the white sand beach. Koh Larn is the nearest island from Pattaya, Thailand. The island is known as coral island, and its pearly white sands and emerald green sea are one of the must-sees in the area. When you stay in Pattaya, Thailand, Koh Larn is the best island to visit for a change. It's just a hop, skip, and a jump away from Pattaya.

On top of that, there it was.

I took this photo at the observation deck of the Main Tower in Frankfurt, Germany. The observation deck was on the top of the 56 stories's building which was named after Main River. There was this on the top of the building, so it seemed like getting the 'top' of the Main Tower was yet so far, but still. I enjoyed seeing a 360-degree view of Frankfurt from that high place, and I was also impressed with the thoughtful technology of its lift. It's often said that half the fun is getting there, and the saying was true when it comes to the Main Tower.

Grolsch premium lager

The photo shows a can of Grolsch premium lager which I bought at a corner shop near my hotel in London, England, the United Kingdom, and I took this photo in my hotel room while I was enjoying a mid-afternoon break. That day was a bit of strange. I was in London, England, but things I had was quite international. E.g. Vindaloo Chicken Curry and Vegetable Basmati Rice with a bottle of Cobra beer at an Indian place for lunch, Penne Salmone Toscana with some draft of Peroni at an Italian place for dinner, and Grolsch beer on this photo is Dutch-made. It was like a sort of melting pot of food and drinks.

Not in the middle of nowhere

I took this photo near the Giza pyramid complex in Giza, Egypt. I was being near the bottom of the pyramid of Khafre. Before I got there, I didn't know that the world-famous Giza pyramid complex and the city were that close to each other.  I was just thinking the Giza pyramid complex was in the middle of nowhere or in other words, it was deep inside of the Egyptian desert, but I was totally wrong in that case. How come I was thinking like that? I have no idea. The truth was exactly like the photo shows. Jaw-dropping.

I could afford to buy it, but I couldn't find it

I took this photo in my hotel room in Unawatuna, Sri Lanka. The hotel offered free Wi-Fi service. Wi-Fi signal was strong near the door, and not anymore in the balcony, so I was there right beside the door. By the way, I loved the key ring with a little elephant. Each room key had the same type of elephant's key rings, but colors were different. I mean each little elephant wore different colors of blanket. The cute little elephants (and room keys) were lined up on the reception counter and they looked so cute. I wanted to buy one, but I couldn't find the same one in the village.
