A month in Jomtien beach next to Pattaya. Here I am back in Thailand again. Back to a place I know. This time, budget optimization with housing rented on a monthly basis on AirBnb. A very interesting price for an apartment at the end of Jomtien Beach, far from the world and the brothel of Pattaya. A quiet place where you can stroll just by staying in the buildings. Indeed gym, giant pool, common place, a very nice place. The…
One good place to visit for culture in Pattaya is the big golden buddha. Called the big Buddha Hill or Wat Phra Yai you can see the biggest Buddha of all Chonburi province, visible from far away approaching the hill. The Buddha image is located on top of Pratamnak Hill, just South of the city of Pattaya. Driving up the road to the top of the hill will give you some very nice views of the Pattaya bay area. Difficult…
This is my new home for two weeks in Thailand. I was tired of the city of Bangkok, totally filled with people. I do not stay there for a month. At the same time, I did not want to fly back or take a 10-hour bus ride to an isolated place. And I really need a regular internet connection because at the moment I value the work and not the visits. I found accommodation in Pattaya Jomtien beach, a seaside…
To avoied a little the crowd in Bangkok, and to try to stop a little working during an half day, i went to Lumpini Garden in Bangkok. If you need a respite from the hustle and bustle of Bangkok life, Lumpini Park is the place to find it. Lumpini Park is an oasis in the heart of the city’s business and commercial centre. Remarkably, Lumpini is just 400 metres from the famous night market district of Patpong. The park is…
First place where i stayed inThailand. I wanted to find a full accomodation like a small appartment. I wouldn’t like to have just a simple room with share bathroom and kitchen. So i was obliged to define my budget a little in a higher way. In fact even if it is Thailand it stay a capital and if you want to not be to far for the city center you need to pay a correct price. Big city so the…
Seriously, I do not really like Bangkok. It’s a giant capital with a lot of people. It’s hot all the time, pollution is present, garbage is in the streets. No, I’m not a fan. In addition, the internet connection is rather weak. But good strength is to add that if I want to travel without working in exchange for housing, we must choose these places. I still have trouble accepting the contrast of standard of living in Bangkok. You wander…
I wanted to change and to cross atlantic ocean first, and then to cross pacific ocean. I realized that and i realized that quickly cause i crossed the ocean in just the space on one month. And in the space of two days, so many transportation without to sleep. I was in Canada in Victoria. I took the bus to reach the ferry to reach Vancouver. In Vancouver, take a short tour of the city via bus and tram before returning to…
Wat Pho is also called the temple of the reclining Buddha. He is located in the historical center of Bangkok. The historical center of Bangkok create a break with the rest of Bangkok. In fact we can see many good and typical architecture about the buddhism. Here it is a little less crowded, and the big buildings of the rest of the city let place to historical building, garden and river. I choose to make the visit of Wat Pho…

This is one og the biggest botanical garden in Asia, collecting the most different species of tree palms, cactus etc… We can see a big variety…
Pattaya floating market is a popular market place in Chonburi area, neat Jomtien beach at Pattaya. The place is very touristic, so it was crowded by people. In the area i can note many japanese tourist coming to enjoy these attraction and the sun. Also many Russian tourists on holiday there, probably a nice and cheap destination from Russia. As it name the market is building on the water, everything is made of wood, and sometimes we have the feeling…
