Pattaya City Uncovered is making moves right across the media spectrum and is currently broadening our horizons to television. You can catch our weekly show on Pattaya One and in the next couple of weeks, we will begin a gameshow that is the first ever in Pattaya, so stay tuned for that.

In this edition of the magazine, we have once again brought you the best choice of businesses in the city.

Getting Personal with Mermaids

U

@ Underwater World Pattaya

nderwater World Pattaya is one of the most popular tourist attractions in the Pattaya region, known as the ultimate Pattaya aquarium for families or those wanting an educational experience. With a location that is easy to find and visit, even if you have been here before, I bet you never saw the mermaids, did you? You can see fully-grown mermaids for a limited time only in November, so don’t miss out.

When it comes to tourist attractions in Pattaya that you possibly cannot miss, Underwater World Pattaya falls into that bracket. Located in the heart of Sukhumvit Road in an easy-to-find spot in between Thapprasit Road and the turn off for Jomtien near to Makro, every taxi driver in the city knows the way.

This stunning purpose-built aquarium has the famous 105-meter-long underwater tunnel that you can walk under and is home to a massive variety of the most exotic marine life from across the world. You can see a vast array of sharks, rays, reptiles, amphibians and even Mermaids up-close and personal at Underwater World Pattaya.

It doesn’t matter if you are alone, with a friend, a group of friends or your family with kids, as Underwater World has something for everyone and showcases marine life form the four corners of the aquatic world.

lthough we love living and working in Thailand, sometimes we crave for the things we have become accustomed to back home. This could just be something involving food or family, or something completely different. When it comes to finding world-class uPVC windows and doors that are built to the highest international standards in the Pattaya region and right across Thailand, not many can match EuroPVC Windows and Doors.

When it comes to windows and doors, quality is of the utmost importance. And as you know, finding such exceptional quality is extremely difficult in Thailand. You pay for what you get, and nothing is truer. If you want to pay inferior prices, you will get inferior products, and that is what sets EuroPVC apart from the rest.

First established in 2006, EuroPVC is not just setting the bar for the highest quality uPVC windows and doors in the region, but IS the bar! EuroPVC are the only certified fabricator of AluplastuPVC profiles in Thailand, which gives you unbeatable quality. With all their uPVC extrusions from one of the most famous German companies in the industry,

If you want to combat the problems of living in busy and hectic tourist hotspots such as Pattaya or Bangkok, noise pollution is always a big issue. Never be woken again by that rogue karaoke bar that blasts out the music until 2am in the morning. Replace your windows and doors with the ‘real deal’ to reduce sound, noise and also to save you money on your energy bills over a longer period.

It doesn’t matter if you are an individual villa or condo owner that is seeking quality uPVC solutions or if you are a villa or condo developer that needs to acquire top-notch uPVC windows and doors, EuroPVC can adapt to any job, big or small. They already have a host of happy customers, which happen to be some of the largest developments in Pattaya. They have provided the windows and doors for developments in the region that include: The Palm Oasis, Greenfields (4, 5 and 6) Whispering Palms, Tudor Court, The Cube (currently under construction), Town & Country Property and many more. If you have a development in Pattaya or across Thailand need the most reliable uPVC solutions, drop EuroPVC a line.

When you seek the best quality uPVC products imported from Germany, created and fitted in Pattaya, EuroPVC is the premier solution. uPVC PROMOTION FOR PEOPLE WITH RETIREMENT VISAS If you are looking for an unbeatable offer, you really have just struck gold!

You’ve read the Lonely Planet guide and enough FAQs on Thai culture, all with the same suggestions and warnings.

All too well, you know not to cut your hair on Wednesdays or touch someone’s head.

But did you know never to trust bald people or avoid sex on certain days?

This exhaustive list of Thai superstitions, collected by the University of the Thai Chamber of Commerce, will take your mind off present troubles and take you to a wondrous world of beliefs past, where imaginations were rich, but scientific methods poor.

From muscle spasms and lost teeth to all kinds of animal omens, this list will add meaning to every minor event in your otherwise mundane life.

Who knew one shouldn’t accept birthday sex because it’s a day for purity? Or that a plant could predict success?

Some are folk beliefs designed to increase social harmony, encourage clean living or reaffirm social expectations. But many are just bizarre and worth reading just to imagine how people thought hundreds of years back.

60 Thai superstitious

DOs and DON’Ts for your convenience 1. If a home lizard makes a noise behind your back as you leave the house, bad things may happen while you’re out. But if the sweet creature is at your front or side, you may proceed confidently.

2. A barn owl is a symbol of evil curses. If one lands on your roof, horrible things will happen.

11. A person who use different tones in a single conversation is insincere.

12. Baldies are sneaky and flirty. The belief comes from the characteristics of a fictional character “Khun Chang.”

13. Babies with birthmarks had past lives.

3. Geckos usually make a loud noise at night, but if the sound is heard during the day, it is considered a warning of bad events.

4. If a bird poops on your head, you’ll be doomed for the rest of the day.

5. Don’t wear black to visit sick patients because black is a strict mourning color in Thai culture. Also, you should not wear black to a joyful ceremony, like your best friend’s wedding. (When in doubt: Avoid black.)

15. Don’t cut your hair on Wednesday, or you will have bad luck.

16. A left eye twitch is a sign of bad luck. A right eye twitch means good luck.

6. If a monitor lizard enters your house, talk to it nicely, and it will bring you fortune.

17. If a wild animal enters your home, pray with candles, joss sticks and flowers. Then kindly ask it to leave your house and take any traces of bad luck with it.

7. If you hear strange human voices calling you at night, don’t answer because it could be a ghost. Answering means you allow them to enter your house.

18. A cremation should never be done on Friday because it is a day for cheerful events. (Probably avoid wearing black in either case.)

8. A mole on the lower lip makes one a big mouth.

19. If a comb breaks while brushing hair, toss it right away, or bad things will follow.

9. A player commonly has wavy hair, a short neck and face.

10. A person with big ears has an easy, lucky life while those with thick ears might be lonely, doomed folk.

20

14. Don’t take a tree from the temple to plant at home.

Trees at the temples are sacred and meant to stay there.

Moving it elsewhere will bring bad events to that place.

PattayaCityUncovered.com

20. If you randomly smell joss sticks in the middle of the night, the spirits of your close relatives are present.

21. If a bee makes a beehive in your house, don’t destroy it. Bees are diligent animals that bring good luck.

22. Predict your success in business by planting any type of Aloe. If it grows to be brown and dried-out, your business will soon fail.

41. Don’t sleep with your head pointing to the west, or you will have bad dreams.

42. If your necklace falls off, bad things will happen.

23. Step out of your house with the left food, and you will have a good day.

24. If you hit another’s hand as you both reach out for food at the table, expect a guest soon.

25. Don’t “clank” your dish. It is an invitation for hungry spirits out there to join your meal.

26. Don’t sweep the floor at night, or you will sweep out the money you have earned during the day.

27. Don’t decorate your home with a statue or image of a giant. It will provoke arguments among the residents.

28. Don’t push your bed against the wall of the bathroom because wealth will slip away. And don’t sleep facing the bedroom door because you will have bad dreams.

29. Feeding stray animals or giving them shelter on rainy days earns great merit.

30. Don’t let your kitchen get dirty, or you will lose money.

31. Don’t give a handkerchief as a gift to your friends and lover, or you will soon separate.

32. Don’t let a mirror go dusty. It will dust the future of the owner with bad luck.

33. Don’t have sex on your birthday and Buddhist holidays. These are days for purity.

43. Don’t call a baby “cute,” or a jealous spirit will kidnap it. Always call the newborn “ugly.”

44. Don’t cut your nails at night, the spirits of your ancestors will worry that you will cut yourself. (The afterlife must be really boring.)

45. When using stairs, take only one step at a time, or you will not succeed in your career.

46. A pregnant woman should not watch someone go through childbirth. She will be terrified and have even more difficult labor.

47. Don’t place a mirror near your bed. If you can see yourself while in bed, you tend to obsess over sex.

48. To prevent rain from ruining an outdoor event, make a virgin girl stick lemongrass into the ground.

49. Don’t touch a someone’s head, not even a child.

The head is a sacred part of one’s body.

50. Dreaming that a snake wraps itself around your body means you will soon meet your soulmate.

51. Seeing a dead body in your dream means you will win something from a lucky draw.

52. Dreaming that a tooth falls out means your relative will die. An upper jaw tooth refers to a relative of your father’s side, while a lower jaw tooth is your mother’s.

53. Kissing someone in a dream means bad luck.

34. If you ever find a coin on the ground, pick it up and call it a lucky baht, or you will offend your money and drive it out of your pocket.

35. Putting a ring on the middle or ring finger of your right hand will compliment your wealth. Meanwhile, wearing a ring on the ring finger or pinky of your left hand will help you appear more charming.

54. Don’t pre-celebrate your birthday. You will only die sooner.

55. Three doors should not align with each other, or it will create a portal for spirits from the other world to enter.

56. If a toad enters your home, it will bring good luck.

36. A single girl should never sing in the kitchen, or she will end up with an old boyfriend or none at all.

37. Donating money for a coffin for a dead person without relatives can help you get through tough times.

38. Always clean the Buddhist shrine at your home, or you might lose respect from your colleagues.

39. Always stock eggs and oranges in your kitchen.

They will bring happiness to your household.

57. If your left arm muscle twitches, you will lose money. Right arm twitching brings money.

58. If a pet bird makes a noise at night, you will get into an argument.

59. A woman on her period should not step into the temple.

60. Morning dreams are believable as it’s the time angels visit mortals.

40. A pregnant woman cannot attend a funeral, or the spirit of the dead will disturb the baby. This could be deadly.

COUNTERFEIT 1,000 BAHT NOTES IN THAILAND

DON’T GET A FAKE LOOK FEEL

LOOK

TILT

FEEL

So you’re on your way to the airport and off to Thailand for the once a year fling. Passport, Check! Socks and jocks, Check! Money, Check!

With all the excitement of what’s in store I bet you didn’t stop and take the chance to make sure you’re not carry fake notes? Who does right? So that’s why we are going to talk about a not so much talked about topic and make sure our readers aren’t getting ripped off.

Thailand’s largest denomination banknote is the 1,000 baht note, which is the equivalent of around $30 at today’s exchange rate.

The Thai Bankers’ Association says the situation is under control and not as bad as people are making it out to be.

It’s quite easy to figure out if a 1,000 baht note in Thailand is counterfeit so everyone should check it. The easiest way is to look at the 1,000 baht note under a ultra-violet light.

It will have sections that will glow in the dark.

The fake notes will not. Also, the words “Thai Government” are actually embossed in Thai script on the bank note too.

The best way to ascertain that the 1,000 baht note is not counterfeit is simply to hold it up to the sun. On every authentic 1,000 baht note, there is a watermark of the King of Thailand.

The watermark is on the right hand side of the note as you’re looking at the note from the front.

There is also a small circle to the right of the King’s neck on the front of the note (not the watermarked head of the King, the actual drawing on the front of the note). It has an orange and a blue mark in the circle. If you hold the note up to the light, other markings will appear in that circle that will complete the orange and blue marks to make the image of a leaf-like character appear. This, too, can only be seen on the real banknote.

Bar YOUR A man sat down at a bar and told the bartender, “I bet you three hundred dollars that I can piss into the cup all the way over there on the other side of the bar and not miss a single drop.”

JOKES!

A man walks into a bar and notices his friend sitting alone staring at a tiny man on the table playing the piano.

“Wow, look how small he is, where did you get him?!” Says the man.

The bartender said, “There is no way you can do that. Sure, I’ll bet you three hundred dollars.”

“Oh, well there’s this genie round the back of bar, and he grants you whatever wish you want.”

The man then begins to undo his pants and begins pissing. He starts pissing all over the bar, spraying on the bottles and the bartender, not making a single drop in the cup.

The bartender starts smiling and laughing and says, “That’s it, you owe me three hundred dollars.”

The man then gets up and walks over to the pool table and starts laughing and shaking hands with the men standing there. He walks back to bar, sits down and starts laughing at the bartender and hands him the money.

The bartender asks, “Why are you laughing? You just lost the bet.”

A man walks into a bar and says loudly, “Bartender, six shots!” The bartender looks at him and says, “Wow six shots, whats the occasion?” The man replies , “First bl*wjob!” The bartender then pours him a seventh shot and says, “Congrats man, this ones on me.” The man then says , “Man if six shots cant get the taste out of my mouth I don’t know what will!”

A man walks into a bar with a steering wheel between his legs and the barman says, “You’ve got a steering wheel between your legs!”

The man replies, “I know its driving me nuts!”

The man said, “I’m laughing because I bet those guys over there one thousand dollars that I could piss all over you and your bar and you would still be laughing when I was done.”

Sure enough, the man goes round the back of the bar and there sits a genie.

“You grant wishes right?”

“Yes.” replies the genie.

“Hmm, I’d like a million bucks.”

Then, out of nowhere, a million ducks appear, and waddle behind the annoyed man as he goes back into the bar.

“Look, that genie gave me ducks instead of bucks!”

His friends sitting at the table replies, “Well yeah, do you really think I asked for a twelve inch pianist?”

Man walks over to a lady in a bar and asks ‘whats your name ?’

‘Carmen’ she replies, ‘... I like cars and men ! Whats yours ?’

The man looks her up and down and sayes ‘Beerpussy ...’

I was out for a drink with the wife last night and I said, “I love you”.

She asked me, “Is that you or the beer talking” I said, “It’s me........

I’m talking to the beer”!

Got home from the pub at 3’o clock this morning. The wife was waiting at the door with a rolling pin.

I said to her, ‘what are you doing ‘baking’ at this time of the night ?

Signs

that Prove You are Embracing Thainess

If you do not know what ‘Thainess’ means, you will probably need to read a complete article on that subject alone. It basically breaks down to ‘the way that Thais do things and live their daily lives’. It’s their philosophy and the way they see things!

If you have been here for a number of years, you are still left in utter disbelief most of the time, but there comes a point, a barrier so to speak, that takes you to the next level of embracing Thainess where disbelief evolves into acceptance. Once you have achieved this grandmaster level of living in Thailand, there is no turning back, and definitely no going back to the mundane nature of the Western World.

Here are 20 signs that prove you have embraced your own slice of ‘Thainess’.

20. It has become so standard to see a man riding a pink bicycle or a python slithering across your garden that you barely even notice.

19. You choose your friends because they are from your hometown instead of the personal chemistry between you both.

18. Talking about white Christmases means you are talking about being on the beach in December.

17. Standing up in a cinema theater with 100 other people to pay respects to the Thai national anthem is standard.

16. You can’t remember the last time you caught a tuk-tuk because they are for tourists.

15. You can use a squat toilet without spraying on the toilet door.

14. You have effortlessly learned to breath through your mouth when walking by sewers and fried locust vendors.

13. Obviously, sidewalks and pavements are for food vendors, not walking you bozo.

12. All hell breaks loose when there is no sugar condiment with your noodles.

11. If you are a woman, riding Amazon on a motorbike, while sending a text at the same time is normal.

10. You never lose your face, but you are always losing your wallet.

9. You are embarrassed for those new arrivals who Wai to everyone all of the time!

8.You’ve come to accept that ‘yes’ means‘yes’ and everything else that is not ‘yes’ and is usually ‘no’.

7. You don’t batter an eyelid when the 7/11 girl who serves you every day has a 5 o’ clock shadow (stubble).

6. You regularly eat cakes, baked goods and cookies with a knife and fork.

5. When the temperatures hit 75-degree Fahrenheit (24C∘), you get the jeans and sweater out.

4. Your instinct is never to attempt to buy alcohol in the shop between 2pm and 5pm.

3. Your kitchen knifes are dusty because you use a fork to push tidbits of food onto your spoon.

2. Toilet paper has become a sworn enemy. How can it even compete with a water sprayer?

1. You have come to realize that the girl is not his niece or little sister.

Singing

Pattaya, Pattaya with Lou De Pryck

If you live in Pattaya or have been visiting here for a number of years, one of the most famous songs that is synonymous with the city is the song, ‘Pattaya, Pattaya’. Written, composed and performed by Belgium singer-songwriter, Lou De Pryck, this interesting man has become a popular figure in the city and recently performed his famous Pattaya song at the Momento Beach Resort and Restaurant in Pattaya.

Lou De Pryck was a major figure on the Belgium pop music scene in the 1970s and 1980s, and has sold

42

PattayaCityUncovered.com

more than 20 million copies of his compositions worldwide and was a popular figure in Belgium.

He was most famous for his song with the Plastic Bertrand called ‘Ça plane pour moi’.

Hi first soiree into the music world was with the band Liberty 6, which didn’t receive any commercial success, but he later found success as part of a Latin-pop band called Two Man Sound with Sylvain Vanholme of the Wallace Collection in 1975, which released a single called Charlie Brown, which went on to sell over 1 million copies. The band released the album Disco Samba that went on to sell 1.4 million copies in Latin America, thrusting Lou to the forefront.

His most famous English-speaking hit is a song he recorded and sang for Plastic Bertrand called “Ça plane pour moi”. Lou was the voice for the band over the next 3 albums, but left the band and had been in a court battle for many years about the royalties of the songs, which went through the courts in both 2006 and 2010.

Lou then went on to become the creative e force behind the Belgium/ French vocalist Viktor Lazlo who he first me in a Brussels nightclub.

He produced her self-titled first album and her 1989 album, Hot & Soul. There are only 3 recording artists in Belgium who have sold more records in history, which is some

mean feat.

In recent times, Lou has been residing near Pattaya, Thailand, and has made his mark in the city.

The story of Lou’s life was shown in its full glory on a VTM Vlamingen Documentary special that was on a news program called Telefacts. Being such a creative force, Lou was inspired by his life in Thailand and Pattaya that he penned the song that we constantly hear around the city called, Pattaya Pattaya. He actually used one of his former songs Kingston, Kingston, and turned it into Pattaya, Pattaya.

New song...

BOOM BOOM TILAK...

Lou can sometimes be spotted in and around Pattaya, but one thing we Released next month do know is that when he performed Pattaya, Pattaya recently at Momento Beach Resort and Restaurant, surrounded by girls, the song still continues to be a favorite and an unofficial anthem in the city.

Whether you want to play pool, catch all the live sport on their 6 x 55-inch flat-screen TVs, or just want to party the night away, make sure you visit the Country Road 4 Bar this month to take your holiday to epic proportions.

PARTY OF A LIFETIME When the new owners took over the bar just a few months ago, the first thing they did was to fully refurbish not only the bar, but even the pool tables.

The atmosphere is new and exciting, and with lots of very ‘friendly’ hostess girls (non-pushy) on hand to take care of your every need, there is no better way to spend an evening in Jomtien. It doesn’t matter if you are with a group of friends, the wife or by yourself because there is always something going on and someone to talk to at the Country Road 4 Bar. Come and sample a stunning cocktail, imported beers, wine, spirits, Prosecco and much more. There is also a food menu, so you can soak up the alcohol when you feel the need. However, if you are a fan of pool, this is the ultimate pool-playing venue in Jomtien. They have 3x 9ft Brunswick Pool Tables and 3x 8ft tables that were recently fitted with brandnew Simonis cloths. There are some dart boards and
