We Were Up Early,

so off to the Punch & Judy for breakfast,

 Thai food for Diana and Kai,


chicken salad for Steve, ham sandwich for myself, Steve is keeping to his usual routine of a run in the mornings, but today cut it down to just 4 miles instead of the usual 8,


 next stop Lukdod, it is a huge souvenir shop near Pattaya North Road, on Soi Yume in North Pattaya (near the junction with North Pattaya Road and not far from Pattaya's bus terminal,


 it has almost every type of souvenir and house decoration you can imagine,


 it was at this point Steve became unwell so he stayed in the truck,


 the choice of statuary is almost endless,


 not quiet sure about taking these as hand luggage though!


 inside it is just as impressive,


 row after row of things wanting to be bought,


 the girls were nowhere to be seen,


 iguanas anyone?


when we arrived home Steve took himself off to bed with suspected food poisoning, Mike and Riza had called over to say hello, but we thought it best to let him rest, so the girls went to town and bought a load of Issan food,


 I am not sure what theses dishes are called, but the girls loved them,


then as luck would have it Steve, recovered after a series of stomach cramps and visits to the bathroom came in to say hi to Mike,


after Mike and Riza left for some reason the Kai and Diana wanted some cake, by now Steve was sufficiently recovered to try some, hopefully he will be back to his normal 100% tomorrow, so with that nightcap we were all off to bed.

  1. Stan,
    I know you use Secrets taxi quite a bit. Are their hotel rooms good? I'll be visitng Thailand for 6 months, mostly in Bangkok and looking for inexpensive rooms, during occassional sojourns to Pattaya. Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Thanks,
    Seth

  2. Hi, I have to say I have not stayed in Secrets, so I do not know about the rooms, the best thing I can say is to look on some of the web sites like pattayacity.com or Pattaya Addicts and see what has been posted there in the hotel sections, hope you have an enjoyable trip, best regards, Stan and Diana.
