Bombs away

Light 'em up

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!
