Rain showers dont usually last all that long in Thailand, but the Soi Buakhao area of Pattaya has very poor drainage in places as you can see from the filthy puddle near the Nikom Court intersection.\r
\r
Soi Buakhao baht buses\r
\r
As of April 2017 baht buses were running both ways on Soi Buakhao with a ride costing 10 baht. One heads to South Pattaya road and the final drop off is near Walking street, the other heads to central Pattaya road and drops passengers off near second road or beach road depending on the drivers route.\r
\r
These baht buses are one of the reasons I love staying on Soi Buakhao when in Pattaya. You can get almost anywhere central fast for just 10 baht. Also if you are in a rush, the mototaxis are a reasonable 40 baht for a journey which is excellent value too. \r
\r
Jollys food\r
\r
I was overdue a bad meal at Jollys, and my full English Breakfast on this day had poorly cooked fried eggs and bacon that was so underdone I had to send it back to the kitchen. The Sportsman on Pattaya Soi 13 has now been promoted to my new favourite if you are interested.\r
\r
Pattaya Clinics\r
\r
There are a few of these dotted around the city, and the ones on Soi Buakhao are just as good as any. Im not saying you should 100% go here instead of a hospital, but if you have a minor niggling health concern these clinics are cheap, fast and have seen everything 1000s of times before.\r
\r
Maybe visit a clinic to put your mind to rest and get some quick treatment, then re-check at a proper hospital if your symptoms persist later. \r
\r
Very Popular Thai Restaurant\r
\r
Opposite the Sports World Bar on Soi Buakhao I was amazed at how busy the understated Thai restaurant was around lunchtime. So many expats and locals were dropping by for their lunch, some were ordering many dishes for takeaway too. \r
\r
When I peered inside later on every seat in the down to earth restaurant was taken and their menu was typical of a Raan Ahaan place in Thailand. Meaning many rice and noodle dishes were available to be cooked to order. The service girl was particularly frumpy with me which is completely standard in cheap but good Thai food restaurants.\r
\r
Colins Golf Bar\r
\r
Its good to have hobbies, and golf is one of the many things available in Pattaya. Especially to the many single (lonely) expats and long term holiday guys a social game like golf can be a godsend. Clubs can be rented on the day or a set can be bought cheap locally in one of the many golf shops in Pattaya.\r
\r
Massage lady\r
\r
My rule of thumb is the older and more unattrive your massage lady is the better your massage will be. There are some exceptions to this rule, and something tells me that the older athletic looking massage lady in this video would give an amazing oil massage ;)\r
\r
Thai Shaved ice dessert\r
\r
Thai desserts are often so sickly sweet they are unpalatable to Westerners. This dessert is no different, the ice shavings are covered with sweet sauces and condiments meaning I could never think about eating.\r
\r
The ice used in Thailand is made from purified water, and not straight from the tap. I drink beer over ice occasionally, and also have the odd whiskey in the bars with ice in. Ive never been sick from the ice in Thailand, for more info about ice in Thailand see here: \r
