Valentine’s

Day Romantic Daytrip I

t’s that time of the year again when the significant other in your life expects you to pull out all the stops and create a romantic Valentine’s Day surprise. If you are a man, you know how difficult it is to please the wife/girlfriend, so let us help you help yourself, as we have put together a Valentine’s Daytrip that is bound to keep you in the good books until the next time you step out of line! 9am: Breakfast in Bed If you are really on the ball, you will speak to the staff at your hotel/resort and have them bring breakfast in bed for your other half. Start the day as you mean to go on, and breakfast in bed is a bona-fide winner baby! 11am: Sanctuary of Truth One of the most romantic places in Pattaya City is the Sanctuary of Truth in Naklua. Majestically nestled amidst the Gulf of Thailand, this beautifully

constructed wooden temple is a dreamy place to sit with your loved one and wish for the future. 2pm: Silverlake Vineyard Because Valentine’s is such a special day, you should get a taxi or hire a car and drive over to Silverlake Vineyard in Sattahip. Stroll through the stunning vines and absorb the natural beauty of this popular spot. You can even have a drink or a snack at the onsite restaurant. 5pm: Stroll along Bangsaray Beach Not too far from Silverlake is Bangsaray Beach. Known as one of the most uncrowded and beautiful stretches of sand in the region, walk arm in arm along the fluffy sands with your partner amidst this stunningly romantic setting. 6pm: Romantic Meal at Bangsaray Seafood Restaurant To cap off a memorable and romantic day, dine at one of the seafood restaurants on Bangsaray Beach, such as the one near the far end of the beach that sits on stilts in the sea. Sample some fantastic seafood, especially oysters (if you know what I’m saying), and watch the sun go down over the sea, hand in hand. PattayaCityUncovered.com

Thailand Q&A - Holidaying in Pattaya When you think about it, Pattaya is a city, which means if you don’t have the right info at your fingertips, there is a chance you won’t find the places or get the answers you need to make the best from your holiday. Here are a few answers to questions I regularly get asked by holidaymakers in the city. Q: Are there any western-style shopping centers in Pattaya, and if so, where are they? A: Yes, for sure, Pattaya has everything you would find in any major city in the world, and then some, but that’s another story! Central Festival and Mike’s Mall, both on Beach Road are the shopping centers in Pattaya that are built to Western standards. Although the Avenue Mall on 2nd road is also worth checking out. Q: What time do the bars on Walking Street close because on the internet it says 2am? A: Don’t believe everything you hear on the net. It’s a bit of a grey area, but some bars on Walking Street can be open 24-hours, so no matter what time of the day or night, you will always find somewhere on the street for a drink. Q: If I have an accident and need the hospital, what are the quality of the hospitals like? A: The Bangkok Pattaya Hospital, located on Sukhumvit Road, is one of the best in Thailand and as good as those top-level hospitals in western countries. Do however, make sure you have travel insurance because it can be pretty expensive… remortgaging your house expensive!

Q: What are the penalties for drug possession like in Thailand? A: If you are caught in possession of drugs in Thailand, whether it is a so-called ‘soft drug’ such as Cannabis or a Class A such as Heroin, you will be in deep trouble. Although some forms of recreational drugs are more socially accepted in Europe, you will receive the harshest punishments in Thailand, such as 25-years in a Thai prison. Please keep away from drugs, or it could be a mistake you’ll regret for the rest of your life. Q: Would it be easy for me to turn up in Pattaya with my bags in hand and find a hotel without prior reservations? A: It all depends on what time of the year it is. If you are coming to Pattaya over Christmas, New Year or Songkran (Thai New Year), I would book accommodation beforehand. However, you can turn up in the city at other times of the year and easily find a hotel or guesthouse without prior booking.

Best Dental Treatment in Pattaya @

German Dental Clinic

Pattaya is a great place to not only come for a holiday, but also to take advantage of their great choice of dental treatments. The German Dental Clinic is known across the city as the best place you go for European standard dental treatments with prices that are value for money and affordable. What are the most popular treatments that your customers ask for? Besides the usual dental treatments like cleaning and filling, most of the time we have to do crowns and complex removable dentures for our patients. Here, the people can walk with temporally teeth, without being seen by friends, colleagues and neighbors. This is the reason why many people pick a holiday for their big treatments. Almost every day, we do very big restorations such as 28 Crowns or removable telescopic bridges for the whole mouth. Do you offer any dental services that are unique in Pattaya? Our specialty is the Telescopic system, which is a technique for a removable denture in case the patient has only few teeth left. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a German system, and still very popular in Europe, especially in Germany. With Telescopic dentures we can prevent bone loss, give back their esthetic appeal, improve the speech (when compared with other types of dentures), and improve the chewing efficiency. This system is extendable, whenever teeth

get lost, and a very good alternative to implant systems. What are the latest forms of technology that you use to perform your dental procedures? Recently we bought the latest zircon CAD/ CAM machine and digital scanner. With this machine we can produce the highest quality zircon crowns and bridges, based on digital scans and computer aided milling. Do you use the latest teeth implant technology? And if you do, is there any requirements for those seeking teeth implants? Actually, there are no big difference in the implant technology. In the near future we will buy a 3D-Scanner, so we can perform 3Dnavigated implantations with the combination of the new zircon machine and the x-ray. The result will be a surgical guide to make sure that the drilling of the implants is perfectly matching the planned direction and depth. What makes the German Dental Clinic different from other dentists in Pattaya? The main difference is that we are not just a dental clinic, but we have our own dental laboratory located in our building. That gives us the chance to produce artificial teeth much faster and with higher quality, compared to other clinics. Do I have to speak German to understand your staff? Besides German, you can get your consultation in English, Thai and Russian. Whereabouts in Pattaya can I find your clinic? Our clinic is on Thappraya Road Soi 9, which is actually the street connecting Jomtien Beach and the Beach Road. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re open Monday to Thursday from 9am to 6pm, but right now, in the high season, you should make an appointment, to reduce the waiting time.

OUT OF THIS WORLD @ PLANET FOOTBALL football is the world’s most popular sport, and is so powerful it can dictate the everyday lives of hundreds of millions of people across the globe. you could really call earth ‘Planet football’, but that name has already been taken by a 5-star multi-sport facility in east Pattaya. Planet Football is located near to Lake Mabprachan on Siam Country Club Road, home to fantastic state-of-the-art facilities with artificial 7-A-Side and 5-A-Side football pitches, alongside a sports hall and mini-stadium, suitable for other sports such as Futsal, basketball and gymnastics. Strolling around the premises, Head Coach, Mark McKeown, informed me of the excellent opportunities the club gives to the youth of the area, both foreign kids and local Thais. “Although this facility is a business, we basically use it to give players with a high-level of skills the chance to take that to the next level, while at the same time ensuring the pitches are available for kids of all abilities from the ages of 6 years upwards to learn and enjoy the game, regardless of ability.” There are 4 coaches at Planet Football, speaking three different languages: English, Thai and French. What makes Planet Football so unique is not only their pitches, but also an onsite bar and restaurant with football pitch views. It’s a great place to just come and absorb the atmosphere and to have a spot of food and drink, even without playing yourself. “One of the problems we have is we don’t have access to a full-size football pitch,” said Mark. “Up until now that is, because during April, our new 11-A-Side pitch will be opened.” The new facility, located near Horseshoe Point, close to Siam Country Club GC, has cost a cool 35 million THB to construct and is a labor of love for the club’s owner. Having their own full-size pitch makes it easier to develop a young player’s transition from smaller games to bigger games. Although the pitch will be ready in April, the stadium won’t be completed later on in 2015. Youth Football If you have kids who are 4 years and above, the Kiddy Kickers & Soccer School, every Saturday morning and Wednesday evening is perfect for kids of all levels, whether they are elite quality or want to play for the first time. With reasonable prices per session, it is a great way to introduce kids to the game. 42

Last month, the bar saw some great performances from Rod Stewart and Elvis tribute bands, which brought the ceiling off the venue, creating a night to remember on Walking Street. Rod Stewart tribute band

The Rolling Live 2 Bar plays a fantastic selection of classic rock/pop music, as an ode to timeless music, with no dance or rap at all, which ensures the clientele are all likeminded souls with similar music tastes. The best tastes of course! The live music takes place from 7pm until late every night, so come along to sample a drink or two, absorb the atmosphere and party the night away to the soundtrack of your life. Rolling Live Bar 2 is the pulsating heart of Walking Street, creating a fun-filled atmosphere with lots of live music, fun and friendliness for when you want to have a great time in Pattaya.
