Pattaya Luxury Hotel in Thailand

Fri, 22 Jan 2010 01:30:21 -0600

The Nam The s saw Pattaya as a small sleepy fishing village on one of those sleepy lazy Thai ports. Its beaches like many other Thai beaches stood beautifully palm fringed with squeaky golden sands but yet ignored, unused and alone; its sole purpose-to haul in fishing nets and boats. Indeed, Thais in those days were hardly interested in Beach hotel resorts and entertainments a luxury not yet discovered here. When the North Vietnamese attacked South Vietnam, Thailand and number of other Asian and Oceanic countries once again stepped in as an ally to the West, not only did Thailand offer its well-trained, jungle experienced troops. But it also allowed a very strategic position by way of army, navy and air bases all over the country. The 'nowhere' Nakhon Ratchisima military base as it was referred to in the early years was at first one of those strategic GI Bases with little in regards to R&R for the troops, that is until Pattaya beaches were discovered.

Imagine: Bangkok Thailand Hotels

Mon, 11 Jan 2010 00:16:35 -0600

A City of Angels Even before I touched down on the Bangkok tarmac in the smooth as silk Thai international flight from Rome, I somehow knew what lay ahead of me- I could half imagine the Siamese as they were once so elegantly known. And now simply Thais; the meaning of freedom, freedom because this country was never colonized. Freedom, because they still hold on to their values, their history, their wonderful artistic language and script and freedom because that they against all odds have managed to keep out those western influences that have so far destroyed a lot of other Asian cultures. Name one country that hasn't been changed by the west, or indeed the Far East that has already been deformed by us. Princess Princess The taxi took me along rows of majestic tree-lined boulevards to a hotel situated at the very heart of Bangkok's historic and spiritual beauty. We passed numerous houses of god- as in Buddhist temples whose monks and what appeared to be child-like novice monks seem...
