Looked up Hilton Pattaya, it looked like this

I took this photo at the bottom of Hilton Pattaya in Central Pattaya, Thailand. The 5-star hotel is face to Pattaya Beach and is a part of Central Festival Pattaya Beach Complex. I took this photo when I was getting on a escalator to get to Central Festival Pattaya Beach. Central Festival Pattaya Beach is a pretty large shopping mall in the heart of Pattaya where I've visited there many times for shopping, eating, drinking and also to watch movies at SFX Cinema Pattaya Beach. I'd say the building is a complex of everything. You can enjoy a lot more than your expectations.

SPY: White Gold v. Red

I took this photo in my hotel room in North Pattaya, Thailand  and the photo shows bottles of SPY Wine Cooler, white gold and red. You can find a variety of flavour in all over Thailand, but you can't in your home country, I guess. I'm really sorry I can't grab some SPY right now in my country. Yep, I'm obsessed, and I think you'll be obsessed too if you'll try one of SPY drinks, and soon you might want to taste some more different flavour. Normally, I'm a beer person and I almost always choose beer, but when I'm in Thailand SPY Wine Cooler or SPY Cocktail are exceptions. They are yummy!

North Pattaya Fingerpost

I took this photo in North Pattaya, Thailand. I found this Pattaya-ish fingerpost on Naklua Road near the Dolphin Fountain in North Pattaya. According to the finger post, Berlin is 10,573 kilometres away, and New York City is 16,627 kilometres away, and also Venus is 43,250,000 kilometres away from Pattaya. So where should the next stop be? If you wanna start from the low-hanging fruit, look at the yellow sign board instead. There were some examples: To get to Coral Island (a.k.a Koh Lan) cost 350 THB. Your bus, boat, and lunch would be arranged by the tour agency.

A serviced apartment in Korat, Thailand

The photo shows a serviced apartment in Nakhon Ratchasima (a.k.a. Korat), Thailand where I've stayed for three weeks. My room was spacious, and the king-sized bed and pillows were very comfortable. Fresh towels, bar soaps, shampoo packages, loo rolls were provided daily. Plus, there's a middle-sized fridge in the room, and a couple of bottles of water were served daily and were complimentary. The location was good. A hypermarket Tesco Lotus was located about a five-minute walk from this serviced apartment. I used the Tesco Lotus a lot. I kinda miss it now.

ส้มตำ: Green Papaya Salad

The photo shows Thai Green Papaya Salad (a.k.a. Somtum or Som Tam, Thai: ส้มตำ). I took this photo at a river view rooftop restaurant of a guest house in Chinatown, Bangkok, Thailand. It was the night before my leaving to Nakhon Ratchasima in Southeastern Thailand, and I was enjoying the last dinner in Bangkok. Generally, Somtum in Central Thailand includes peanuts and less spicy in my opinion. Somtum in Southeastern Thailand has more various ingredients and are much more spicy in my opinion.

The North end of Walking Street in South Pattaya

I took this photo at the North end of Walking Street in South Pattaya, Thailand. The street is running from the south end of Pattaya Beach Road to Bali Hai Pier, and now is a world-famous night life street. Vehicles are allowed to enter during the daytime hours, but are not allowed to run during the nighttime hours. Along both sides of the street, there so many fun places are lined-up. The "so many fun places" includes bars (countless), restaurants (Thai food and the othera), Go-Go clubs, massage parlours, shops, accommodations, and so on. Definitely a must-see site in Pattaya.

North Pattaya Beach construction area

I took this photo at North Pattaya Beach construction area at the end of December 2016. That day was the second day of my 6-day vacation, and it was Friday. I had 2-hour full body oil massage and went on a shopping spree at Soi Buakhao Market. Before that, I walked along Pattaya Beach Road, then took this photo near Thai Airways International Pattaya brunch. After spa and shopping, I caught a motorbike taxi on Pattaya 2nd Road (a.k.a. Pattaya Sai 2) and got back to my hotel to drop a lot of shopping bags and so on.

Thai snacks with Thai flavour

I took this photo in my hotel room in North Pattaya, Thailand. I bought several Thai snacks at a convenience store on Naklua Road before getting back to my hotel. In the convenience store, I tried to choose a lot of different Thai flavour as much as I could and I think I did so. My choice includes Tom Yum flavour, Laab flavour, Grilled prawns flavour, Stir-fried seafood flavour. In the hotel room, first things first, I lined-up those Thai snacks on a desk and took a photo of them. They looked so cute and colourful together.

I must be dreaming, pinch me...

This is a view from my breakfast table at my hotel's garden restaurant in North Pattaya, Thailand. I was having Thai breakfast with a glass of fresh fruit juice in this garden like setting with a view of a swimming pool, a swim-up bar, palm trees and the other tropical plants. The weather was fantastic, people were very nice and friendly, the food was yummy and not to mention the atmosphere was outstanding. The hotel was located about 300 hundred meters off from North Pattaya's high street Naklua. That location made the hotel as like a hidden resort. A fantastic one. I really loved that. I felt myself as like one of the lucky selected few who could find this dreamy resort.

Dolphin crossing in Pattaya, Thailand

I took this photo near the dolphin fountain in North Pattaya, Thailand. There was a cute cross walk on Pattaya 2nd Road (a.k.a. Pattaya Sai 2). The dolphin painting looked so cute. May I call it a dolphin crossing or something? Anyway, dolphin is Loma (Thai: โลมา) in Thai language, and you'll find some places where you can watch dolphins in Pattaya. I've been to one of the places twice, but it was a long time ago. I experienced it at Sanctuary of Truth, but to be honest, I don't know the current status and how's it going right now.

Three bottles of flavoured milk

I took this photo in my hotel room in Pattaya, Thailand. The hotel was on Soi Buakhao and there were many pubs, restaurants, convenient stores and so on around the hotel. The photo shows bottles of flavoured milk which I bought at the nearest convenience store from the hotel. From left to right, strawberry milk, coffee milk and chocolate milk. They were all so yummy. Among the three, my favourite was coffee milk, if I have to choose, but I loved them all. Dutch Mill Co., Ltd. is a large dairy products company of Thailand, by the way. Check it out!

Since when?

I took this photo in Pattaya, Thailand last month. The wooden observation deck was one of the popular locations on Pattaya Beach for locals, tourists, couples, selfie lovers and so on. That lovely location looked totally different when I visited there last month. I took this photo on January 2nd, 2017. The right under the wooden observation deck used to be Pattaya Beach, but the white sand beach was being eaten away. I don't know since when, but coastal erosion is getting terribly worth I'm sure.
