GETTING AROUND GUIDE

THIS MONTH CRAZY DRIVING IN PATTAYA! It doesn’t matter if you are a pedestrian, car driver, motorcyclist or simply a passenger in Pattaya, one thing is for certain – you will have a horror story to tell about your experience on the roads! It seems barely a day goes by without there being a major accident on Pattaya’s roads and it seems little surprise when you witness some of the things that take place.

Driving at high speed whilst tailgating the vehicle in front is seen as standard practice and indeed if you don’t do this you are likely to cause frustration and annoyance with other road users! An alternative to this is driving as slowly as possibly, continuously braking and ensuring at the same time that it is impossible for any other road users to pass! Again this is something that is seen as acceptable and rarely questioned.

For motorbike riders, driving on the wrong side of the road, heading at high speed towards oncoming traffic is also perfectly acceptable. There is a daily competition whereby participants are required to try and get their entire family, including pets onto the bike at the same time. There is no need to inform anyone prior to your participation in this event and it will go largely unnoticed by locals. Should you master this act you are then entitled to enter the furniture carrying competition which involves holding the largest household item you can find in both hands whilst perching on the back of a motorbike, travelling at high speed. An alternative to this is the same practice carried out by the driver of the bike!

If you are a passenger in a minibus (or minivan as it is often termed) you are in for a real treat! It is very rare in our home countries that we get the opportunity to take part in a World record event. In this case it will be an attempt on the land speed record with the most popular locations for this event being the 7 Highway or Sukhumvit Road.

SHOPPING GUIDE

Pattaya has numerous large malls, small malls, supermarkets, bazaar-style markets, and thousands of other shops.

Expect to find plenty of clothes shops and coffee shops but do not expect to find variety as most shops are selling the same things. Pattaya actually has a long way to go to catch up with Bangkok for variety and volume of shops but it is trying with several new shopping centres opening in recent years, and there’s more to come.

Bargaining is a way of life here but don’t worry if you don’t know your Thai numbers as most shop keepers will carry a calculator to show the price. As a general rule what ever their first price is, half it and you will be closer to what they are actually willing to sell the item for. If you are not happy then simply walk away as the shop keeper down the street will be selling the same thing.

Try to have some fun when bargaining because if the shop keeper likes you they may give you a better price and never get aggressive, it doesn’t pay.

HEALTH & FITNESS GUIDE

A healthy lifestyle can be achieved anywhere in the world and Pattaya is certainly one of the most popular places people choose to stay fit and in shape.

Thailand has a tropical climate and is therefore ideal for the pursuit of outdoor activities: volleyball, soccer, sailing plus many more.

However, for and in indoor healthy lifestyle, Pattaya is also among the best and the vast number of 5 star health massage organisations, beauty parlours, plastic surgery clinics, spas and fitness centre mean that Pattaya really is the place to improve your overall health and look.

Many people now choose to partake of the various treatments from facials, to waxing and detox to botox in order to gain that healthier looking body and due to the current price of treatments in many western countries, Thailand has found itself an entire new market in patients arriving for plastic surgery treatment and general medical operations which in their own country would cost much more than locally in Thailand.

BUSINESS SERVICES GUIDE

Thai Business Help established since March 2010, has been helping hundreds of expats and tourists from around the world with all types of business services including visa applications, extensions and renewals.

Respected for offering the best advice when setting up a business in Pattaya, they are renowned for the best value too, just look at their prices. Not only that, they are well known and trusted within the expat community.

All too often, we hear of horror stories of customers who have chosen business service providers who deliberately offer poor advice so they can charge more, high rates and hidden costs, and worse of all, a slow service that takes months. This type of treatment reflects badly on the industry and has a negative impact in the growth of Pattaya as a leading tourist destination.

We have collated industry average prices you should expect to pay ANNUAL AUDIT Should take no more than 2 weeks to complete.

Non-trading company: 12,000 THB Trading company 2m: 15-18,000 THB COMPANY SETUP Should take no more than 3 days to setup.

INSURANCE GUIDE

Insurance is an essential item when in Thailand, where all types of accidents happen daily.

Whether you’re an expat or holidaymaker, you cannot ignore the importance of been well insured for all types of risk. From health & medical, to personal accident, to travel.

In Thailand, a trip to the hospital costs money and you better have deep pockets if you’re not insured. A serious accident can cost hundreds of thousands of baht, and if you don’t have the money you’ll be sent to the nearest government hospital, where treatment is a life or death situation.

You may own property over here, or a car or motorbike. Theft is a growing problem in Pattaya, and you want to ensure if the worst happens, you’ll be reimbursed quickly and fully. No insurance and your at the mercy of the local police catching the thieves, and hope that your items are not pawned.

You maybe a restaurant owner, one of your staff accidentally spills hot soup on your customer. Your responsible, do you have liability cover?

For a stress free future, been fully covered will save you lots of money, and ensure you and your families own peace of mind. We recommend using a reputable insurance broker who deals with multiple insurance underwriters, this will save you a great deal of time as they are experienced in meeting your needs within your budget.

So if your worried you don’t have any insurance, you have the opportunity now to arrange insurance to cover you and your family. We recommend A1cover.com an insurance broker that is connected to over 20 registered insurance companies in Thailand.

PROPERTY GUIDE

Pattaya is a beach resort with city status, with something for everyone. Year round tropical climate, there are hospitals, schools, shopping malls and supermarkets.

Add in the low cost of living in Pattaya, the friendliness, warmth and hospitality of the Thai people, and this makes Pattaya City an extremely popular choice for a secondary home or retirement The last decade has seen a massive growth in the number of people, particularly from the West, investing in property overseas. Some buy principally as an investment, while others buy a holiday home; and some a permanent residence, having taken the decision to emigrate. Pattaya has become a very popular choice

When it comes to purchasing a property, there is a massive variety of houses and condominiums, in terms of size, price and quality, to choose between, which, in general terms, represent outstanding value for money, particularly when compared to the cost of real estate in the Western world. There are some major difference when buying property in Thailand so it is advisable to take advice from a knowledgeable and trustworthy real estate broker 44

the cave rock bar

The venue has been made with a custom stage at the far end of the room, with a professional sound system, stage lights and ceiling lights that all help to make this a great live rock music venue. The house band are very experienced and can play your favourite hit rock songs from over the years on request. They clearly enjoy playing rock music too.

The bar has been built to the left of the room so as not to obscure the view of the stage, which is often the problem in many venues that are adapted for live bands, but not so at The Cave.

There are 5 flat screen TV’s around the main audience area with 2 of these towards the entrance of the venue. Each screen has a live video feed from the stage so you can watch the band wherever you are in The Cave. When the band are having a break, the front 2 TV’s switch to playing rock music videos, with the sound played through the in house system.
