Goodbye AJ!

Me, Danie and Shannyn seeing off our new South African friend, AJ, who is flying to South Africa tomorrow. We decided to end off the evening at Immortal Bar with some pork ribs.

Immortal Bar

A metal bar near Victory Monument. The drinks are reasonably priced, the music's good and the owner speaks good English. He's the frontman of Carnivore, a Thai death-metal band.

Inside Club Culture

Club Culture

This club plays a variety of dance music including, but not limited to House, Drum & Base and Dubstep. The club is near the Democracy Monument. It was Dubstep night when we went to check it out, which was unfortunate.

Some Random Fort

I've forgotten the name, but it's in the Khao San area. Beautiful architecture.

New addition to the family

Meet Dobby. Kreacher's new baby brother. He's the brown variety of Sugar Glider from Indonesia.

The Waterpark

With waterslides of doom! None of the girls escaped the perverse experience of being undressed by the pool on impact.

Slalom Coaster

Epic photo is epic. The rollercoaster was incredibly oldschool and bumpy.

I'm on a boat!

Don't let my smile fool you, I felt pretty sick afterwards...

Viking Swing

Danie and Craig took the one end and Shannyn and I took the other.

Natural high

And up we go...

First you get FLUNG all the way up, then you get dropped down about half way, then pulled up again and dropped a bit a few times before getting to the bottom again.

The Tower Shot

You could tell how terrified I was just by looking at me.

Pattaya Park

Beach Resort and Amusement Park.

Kaffa Pub and Restaurant

4 Saffers and a Brit visiting the Kaffa Pub in Jomtien.

The Rolling Stone Bar

The female Thai vocalist was absolutely amazing.

Up, up and away...

The sky was dotted with thousands of lanterns on NYE as people were lauching them from the beach. You could purchase a lantern for B100 and launch it yourself.

Bombs away

Launch time.

Light 'em up

One of the many paper lanterns gracing the sky on NYE being lit up before being launched.

Pattaya City

At the pier on NYE they had a huge market.

Never mess with a Thai girl...

Spotted at the little carnival soi in Walking Street.

Only in Thailand...

Happy Birthday to Me!

The start to my birthday festivities included a walk through the beach market while we made our way to Pattaya's famous Walking Street. Once there I was presented with this beautiful rose from Danie.

We then proceeded to AngelWitch, one of the many go-go bars in Walking Street, for a show. AngelWitch is unique in the sense that it has a choreographed show every hour with good music and interesting costumes. We recently visited its Bangkok counterpart in Nana Plaza.

I decided to call it a night after the show as I was feeling a bit tired, but the festivities will continue today with a trip to Jom Tien beach and the amusement park there.

Happy New Year!!!

Taken from the pier in Pattaya South. It doesn't quite do it justice, but the fireworks display was absolutely spectacular!
