J: Just finished a massive upload to lulu.com. Its my 230 page macro study of Bangkok. Certainly if you wanted to buy it that would be GREAT. But honestly I’d be happy if you clicked on the free download and just took a look. Click here to take a look.

Pattaya. Pattaya. Pattaya. The resort town without a real beach. What? Yup. Here’s the Pattaya they show you at the travel agency to get you there.

And then here is the truth about the beach. Its MAYBE 12 feet of actual beach. Room as you can see for only ONE or TWO beach chairs.

What a great place to kill time and your hangover before you go back out to the girly bars.

While John and I were walking down Sukhumvit Rd, checking out what was around our hotel and getting a lovely egg and bacon breakfast, we noticed some small stalls with a lot of locals hanging around. As we went to investigate we saw that there was a whole market hidden behind these stalls. I’m pretty sure we might be the only “farongs” to walk around back there. It was neat. Here’s a short video.

Please to enjoy:

We’d like to wish everyone happy holidays! Also we’d like to share some test footage. Lucky for us we can do both at once. Here’s a look at the 2009 Chicago Christkindlmarket.
