Songkran in full swing as Jomtien traders enjoy holiday bonanza

Picture: Siamchon News

PATTAYA: -- Siamchon News reported that Songkran celebrations were in full swing all along Jomtien beach in Pattaya yesterday.

They said the beach was packed for 5 kilometers with people eating, drinking, taking a dip in the sea and splashing water.

There was a lot of traffic in the area as people had come from miles around to celebrate the Thai New Year in the lovely weather at the resort.

And traders were smiling too with all the custom with many enjoying facilities such as banana boats and jetskis.

Thats enough of these positive, everyone is benefiting stories. These stories dont sit well with many ThaiVisa members. Its very hard to turn one of these threads into a "dont buy a condo", "a bargirl stole my kidney", "Thai people hate us" thread.

Must be photo-shopped picture, according to the experts on this forum nobody ever swims in the sea here!!!

Maybe they all left Ayuthaya where instead of throwing water they decided to shoot each other.

Just sayin'

Thank god for small favors.

Thanks for those pictures of an insanely packed beach, makes Thailand beaches seem a lot easier

to be at. I do enjoy the beach at Jomtien, but prefer to swim in a pool, or go to Phuket to swim in

the ocean.

Airconditioning in bars

georgegeorgia · 4 hours ago4 hr

May I ask this in the Pattaya forum , because I believe Bangkok may be different Air conditioned bars , i am observing they get less customers, do you believe I'm correct ? I had a farang recently who told me that particular bar failed as it had glass windows and was air conditioned, I was absolutely and what's the word.... gobsmacked! Does it make you consider stepping in perhaps some hesitation ? and opening the glass doors to go in , do you prefer open bars and why ? I didn't notice

Ladyboy bars

Why ..please tell , why are the ladyboy bars in straight bar areas and not in the gay precincts? Would they not do good business in the "gay precinct" areas of Pattaya ?

Hello AN family! I'm going to be honest with you — I'm a bit tired and frustrated at this point, so I'm turning to this community with real hope! I have a Mac mini that needs to be properly connected to a monitor, and what sounds like a simple task has turned into quite an adventure. I've already welcomed several "specialists" from Tukom and nearby shops into my home — lovely people, but unfortunately none of them managed to finish the job properly. The monitor works, yes — but the picture qual

The Treasury just declared the U.S. insolvent

gargamon · 12 hours ago12 hr

The U.S. government is insolvent. That’s not hyperbole — it’s the conclusion drawn directly from the Treasury Department’s own consolidated financial statements for fiscal year 2025, released last week to near-total media silence. The numbers: $6.06 trillion in total assets against $47.78 trillion in total liabilities as of September 30, 2025. Importantly, the $47.78 trillion in reported liabilities does not include the unfunded obligations of social insurance programs like Social Security and M

Hope turns to fear in Iran as regime holds firm

bannork · 20 hours ago20 hr

Early hopes that war might shake Iran’s ruling system are fading fast as the conflict grinds into its fourth week, leaving civilians facing mounting destruction and deepening uncertainty. When strikes by the United States and Israel began, some Iranians believed the pressure could weaken the Islamic Republic and open the door to political change. But with the government still firmly in control and cities absorbing repeated attacks, that fragile optimism is giving way to fear and exhaustion. Ear

Is the US Running Out of Ammunition

ravip · 6 hours ago6 hr

If that were to happen, some might see it as a significant turning point for the world. It could serve as a moment of reflection for the United States. Many critics argue that U.S. interventions have destabilized numerous countries without sufficient justification, leading to the loss of countless innocent lives. Despite this, the nation continues to project confidence—but the question remains, how sustainable is that stance in the long term?

Iranian Nuclear Bomb Testing: When will testing begin?

GammaGlobulin · 7 hours ago7 hr

Dear Folks, We all recall that glorious day when North Korea successfully tested their first nuclear device. And, this test was necessarily followed by a second test, required to prove to the world that the first test was no fluke. North Korea could explode a nuclear device, and do it again, and once again. Now, with continuing and uncontrolled escalation of the Iran War happening, both Israel and Iran are, quite naturally, contemplating employing nuclear weapons. So, the question here is ju

In the past, I have made a number of critical posts about the types of dudes who hang out endlessly on AN like they punch a clock here, but I was thinking about it this morning and actually AN is far more wonderful than I sometimes give it credit for, and I truly mean that in the nicest of possible ways. It is an organically unique environment that you will not find anywhere else on the internet. For example, I can post just about anything I want, give birth to a windup, or pile on a huge load
