Never seen one myself.
Soi Arunotai 7. Found one. Machine makes air, soap suds, and water jet. Bring own sponge/towel. 10 baht goes for awhile.

The further north you go, the more Thai it becomes and I can't find anything resembling a western breakfast. Any help? Thank you.

I am a very satisfied 3rd year student at Walen school in Pattaya. I started learning Thai, reading and writing for better pronunciation. Followed by vocabulary. This has worked out so well. I can now converse with the locals and love going to class for more lessons. The teachers are very capable and work with each student individually.

A bicycle and an Ipod have given me hours of joy every day.

I arrived 11 years ago at age 31 and have been in central Pattaya ever since. The positive aspect of arriving at that age is that you get a lot of attention and get propositioned and offered for some things for at no cost that others would have to pay for (use your imagination).
The bad is that I’m not a drinker so being in bars every night had and still has little appeal. So what else is there to do? Internet wasn’t what it is today so finding activities meant looking the newspaper or joining the 2 English expat clubs for ideas. I did some expat club outings but every single person in the clubs are near the age of my parents. I became friendly with some expats but they were always 20-40 years older than me. Not really a problem but I still wished to meet people closer to my age.
A few years ago, I joined a sports team which finally brought me closer to guys my age but despite my attempts to form closer friendships, once the game was over, we all went our separate ways for a much needed shower and sleep. The ED visa is the way to go although the schools are making the students jump through more and more hoops. Any questions?

I wonder if the victim had done anything to merit the assault? Perhaps self defense? We will never know.
Having lived in Pattaya full time for over a decade, my feeling is that most Thai men in Pattaya can't stand us and their temper is already at a boiling point. When it erupts, watch out.

I would say Tigglebitties on 3rd, soi 17 would for sure. A few places like iRovers and Golf Club on SoiMetro too.
See Carl at Irish Rovers. He recently hooked us up with Wrestlemania and explained he can get any show confidently.

No wonder the bloody car park was heaving,when we went to Mcsick
Just to reiterate, tickets are normally 1500 baht so to get in free to an air conditioned state of the art arena is very unusual. Get it while you can.

From 1pm. daily.
This is on Sukhumvit at Mini Siam opposite Bangkok hospital.
There is a McDonalds restaurant.
Normal price is 1500 baht for foreigners so enjoy 3 more days of free entrance for a boxing tournament (24 matches per day. 1 match = 3 rounds = 3 minutes/round) with international stars. Drinks sold on site or bring your own.
I was there today and many people were enjoying McDonalds food/drinks so don't worry about bringing your own grub.

I use the branch on the 2nd floor in Central department store as it's safe in the shopping center and my bank is on the 4th floor so I can safely/wisely deposit the cash into my Thai bank.
When you approach the teller, you must have your passport, the ref. number, and ensure you have all the correct sender info. That must be 100% correct or no money. My mother sent me some cash and inserted my middle name for some odd reason. She had to change it on her end before the funds were released. Another time, a sender used their maiden name without telling me. There's also a secret question option.
You also need to provide your email, phone, and address. I always gave fake info as it didn't affect the outcome.
You can find copies of the money receiving form on Google.

Better off going to Bang Sare. They celebrate on the 20th so sneak back to Pattaya early morning.

See you all at Irish Rovers at 8am Monday morning. It's going to get messy...
Update:
Mania will be showing from 5am until 11am. That includes a few matches before the main show. Rovers will be showing the entire 6 hours on a few screens with sound.
Their 99 baht breakfast is increasing to 130 baht in a few days so come for Mania and enjoy the cheap breakfast a few more days.

I went to the show and felt it's not worth the price because 1 hour of massage = 100 baht so the comedy/dinner = 7 hours of massage. Does that equate?

I cycle a lot in Pattaya from Naklua to Jomtien and everywhere in between. I ride on Sukhumvit often as well. The police completely ignore me and other vehicles give me a lot of space. The only troubling part is when someone opens their door without looking. But you could probably stop in time or not get hurt if you are not speeding, which there is no need to do.

Tshirt printing. Where please? Thank you.

Just came back from Immigration and the Pattaya Klang Intersection is flooded with Traffic at a complete standstill.
Let me see... quarter to four on a weekday.
Isn't it always at a standstill at this time come rain, come shine?
Honestly, what a bunch of drama queens. The first reall 'gully washer' of the year and we are herding the animals and googling for arc plans.

I think a lot of Thais might catch onto WrestleMania. the good guys, bad guys, the "cheating" wrestlers. remember the old time wrestlers? Chief J Strongbow et al? No, I don't have a shoehorn or razor in my hand now in my hair.
Thais are purists. It's either Muay Thai or nothing for them. I have been to wrestling and MMA shows here and it's not Thais buying tickets.
Update: Irish Rovers bar on Soi LK metro is showing Wrestlemania at 8am Monday morning.
Good Band at The Lion Pub Friday NIght
