The Weekend

This weekend I headed down to Pattaya for a Polo Match with a couple co-workers. Spatality was invited to the match from the Host Company, B.Grimm. Polo is an extremely boring sport and I am not to sure about the people that enjoy Polo.

Instead of watching Polo, I decided to enjoy the Grey Goose Cocktail Lounge which was serving up complimentary drinks all afternoon.

Saturday night, my co-workers and I decided to go and enjoy what Pattaya had to offer. Pattaya is known for being an extremely dirty city, highly dominated by sex tourism. We ended up choosing one of the more classy establishments in the which was "The Kitten Club" located adjacent to the "Penthouse Hotel." I was told that rooms are available by the hour. Not only did the "Kitten Club" offer numerous girls for services & dancing they also offered lady boys for the same services and dancing. They also served budweiser.

On Sunday, we decided to rent a boat and head to Koh Larn which is an island about 30 min boat ride from Pattaya. The island was nice and the water was clear.

Funny Story - Our driver carried a purse that was designed like a fury monkey face. He was a very nice gentlemen and only smiled. He gained my respect when we were driving down the road and he opened the window and started yelling & whistling at some local girls. I was very impressed with that.

He also greeted us in a speedo upon our return from Koh Larn. I should have gotten a picture with him.

Overall it was a good weekend, looking forward to next week and venturing down to Krabi located in Sourthern Thailand about 12 hours from Bangkok.

River Prawn

This is a picture of my lunch in Ayuttha, the old Capital City of Thailand. Ayuttha is very quiet, and was a nice break from Bangkok. Ayuttha is located about 45 min outside of Bangkok and is accessible by car, bus, train and boat.

This is a massive river prawn. Each one, which could serve as an entire meal is around $10. Upon first glance, one would think that the yellow liquid was either curry sauce or butter. Wrong, the yellow liquid is brain juice and the most sought after part of the River Prawn. I did eat the yellow brain juice and it was good.
