Pattaya Thailand
Planning A Trip To Thailand? By lar Back in the old days, if you wanted to plan a trip, you went to your local travel agent and told her where you wanted to go and she would produce a brochure or two with some nice glossy pictures. She would make all the arrangements, flight, ground transportation, hotel and tours. Man, have things ever changed!With the advent of the Internet, all of that has changed. Well, you may still get your tickets through your travel agent but only after you have gone online and checked prices at 4 or five different places to give you a rough idea of how much to spend.You can no w go online and book your flight, hotel, ground transportation, and tours all with a few mouse clicks. And you can save a ton of money doing it yourself.You can also get oodles of information about anything and everything about the country you want to visit. When I go to Thailand, the first thing I do is go online and start my research.I first check with my favorite airlines for their price for a few different dates. Then I check places like travelocity and expedia to see what their price is and finally I check a few local travel agents online prices to see if I can find a better deal. I also call around (the old fashioned way) and see if someone sitting in an office without an Internet web site can beat the price. I then get the flight
I want at the price I want.Next stop are the local, in-country, forums. These provide the most up-to-date information, along with pictures and trip reports, for the places I plan to visit. I can also ask questions and get answers quickly.Then, I get out my checklist that I have compiled over the many years of my travels and make sure that I have everything ready to go. I stage the inconsequential stuff and pack the remainder a couple of days prior. I make sure I have some reading material, munchies, noise-canceling headphones, camera and of course, my ticket, passport and some cash. I also make sure that I have my Debit ATM cards fully loaded.I have my friend take me to the airport and then I am off to the Land of Smiles.

Pizza In Pattaya? By Lawrence Westfall Can you really get pizza in Pattaya, Thailand? Absolutely. Is it any good? Superb! Does this sound strange to you? It shouldn’t. Some of the finest chefs in the world have made their homes in Thailand and have set up shop cooking some of the finest cuisine in the world.I love Thai food and eat my share of rice and noodles with all the other spicy goodies that go along with them, but I also like to sample food from around the world.document.write(" Pattaya");Pattaya is the perfect place to do this.You can go to Don Joe’s on Walking Street for an excellent pizza, The Sportsman Club for a superb “Full English” breakfast, or to the Big Horn restaurant for a 1 Kilogram steak.If you have a craving for American food, it is readily available at Bob’s BBQ and also at the New Orleans Café – ribs that will make your mouth water all the way home.German, Swiss and Belgian foods are readily available too. It seems like there is another fine restaurant every 10 feet in Pattaya. Mexican foodcan be had at the Tequila Reef and also at the Blue Parrot. You would never know that you are in Thailand with all the fine choices at these great restaurants.And, if it is seafood that you crave, just walk along Beach Road or Walking Street and you will find quite a few restaurants with seafood on ice or swimming around waiting for you to make your catch. King’s Seafood is one of the better restaurants with excellent tiger prawns and a beautiful view of the Gulf of Siam.So, don’t go to Thailand if you are planning on losing any weight. Go there to have a great vacation and a fine sampling of some of the culinary arts of Asia

Everything you need to know about Naklua & Wong Amat
The northernmost tip of Pattaya Second Road, where it meets North Pattaya Road, marks the end of Pattaya Bay and the start of the area known as Naklua. To reach it, just head north from the distinctive dolphin roundabout.The name means 'salt fields', in reference to the predominant occupation of the area before the rise of tourism 'salt farming.Today, it still has the air of a village, with some old houses, narrow streets, traditional noodle shops, temples, a fishing pier, and many locals. Slowly that is changing, however, with many condominium blocks now in the area, and lots of hotels and restaurants too.The area's most distinctive features are definitely its small intimate beaches, including Wong Amat and Naklua Beach, as well as the outdoor architectural museum, the Sanctuary of Truth. With Pattaya largely dedicated to single travellers and couples on package tours, Naklua makes a great alternative for families.
What to buy and where to buy in Pattaya Beach

How to get Thailand by Sea
There are no regular steamship connections with Thailand. Cargo ships calling at Bangkok's Klong Toey port sometimes have passenger cabin facilities. Cruise ships, such as Cunard's Queen Elizabeth 11, Royal Viking, or Pearl of Scandinavia periodically visit Pattaya.
How to get Thailand by Plane
Bangkok is Thailand's major gateway. Most visitors arrive through Bangkok's Don Muang International Airport which is connected by daily flights to Europe, North America, Asia and Australasia aboard the world's major airlines. Thai Airways International, Thailand's national airline, flies to eight destinations in the North, seven destinations in the Northeast, and six in the South. Bangkok Airways flies from Bangkok directly to Ko Samui, Ranong, Cha-am (Hua Hin) and Sukhothai. It also flies one-stop to Chiang Mai and Phuket, and from Samui to U-Tapao (Pattaya). There are also services linking Samui and Singapore. Orient Thai Airline connects major Thai cities such as Chiang MaiSurat Thani-Hat Yai, Chiang Mai-Hat Yai, Chiang Mai-U-Tapao, Chiang Mai-Udon Thani-Ubon Ratchathani, Chiang Mai- Khon Kaen-Ubon Ratchathani. Reservations can be made through any authorized Thai Inter Travel Agent. Thai Airways International's Lan Luang Office is on 6 Lan Luang Road, Tel: 280-0110,280-0060. The airline also organises 'Royal Orchid Holidays' tours to every destination it flies to. Further international flights, mostly from Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, Penang and Hong Kong, land on a less regular basis at the southern airports of Phuket and Hat Yai and Chiang Mai in northern Thailand. Charter flights from Europe and the Orient sometimes land in Bangkok, Phuket, Chiang Mai, Hat Yai and at U-Taphao for Pattaya. The expense of getting to Bangkok per air kilometre varies quite a bit depending on your point of departure. However, you can take heart in the fact that Bangkok is one of the cheapest cities in the world to fly out of, due to the Thai government's loose restictions on air fares and the close competition between airlines and travel agencies. The result is that with a little shopping around you can come up with some real bargins. If you can find a cheap one way ticket to Bangkok, take it, because you are virtually guaranteed to find one of equal or lesser cost for the return trip once you get there. From most places around the world your best bet will be budget, excursion or promotional fares - when speaking to airlines ask for the various fares in that order. Each carries its own set of restrictions and it's up to you to decide which set works best in your case. Fares fluctuate, but in general they are cheaper from September to April (northern hemisphere) and from March to November (southern hemisphere). Airports & Airlines Thailand has four international airports, one each in Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Phuket and Hat Yai. Chiang Rai and Sukhothai are both designated as 'international', but at the time of writing they did not actually field any international flights. A district directly north of Bangkok known as Don Muang has been the main hub for international air traffic in and out of Thailand since 1931, when Imperial Airways (forerunner of what was to become BOAC and then British Airways) began regular flights between London and Bangkok (a journey of nine days in that era). Today Don Muang is home to Bangkok international airport, the busiest airport in South-East Asia in terms of scheduled arrivals and departures. A second, larger airport was intended to replace Don Muang around 2000 at Nong Ngu Hao, an area 20km east of Bangkok. Following the economic crisis of 1997/98, the Thai government cancelled the Nong Ngu Hao project despite having already spent US$200 million on its development. The national carrier, Thai Airways International (THAI), dominates inbound and outbound air traffic, but 80 other international airlines also fly in and out of Bangkok. Angel Airways, which mostly serves domestic routes, flies internationally between Singapore and Phuket, while Bangkok Airways flies between Bangkok and Siem Reap, Cambodia. for more information
