Hello everyone and
welcome back to my Thai Wife

It took her one week to arrive,but she's here.
She was busy last week.
How are you doing, pim?
Speaker 2 (00:14):

How are you?
Speaker 1 (00:16):
I'm always good and
we have Scott, scott.
Now everyone can see who are wetalking about All the notorious

No, not me, it's the otherScott, the fat Scott.
How are you doing?
Speaker 4 (00:31):

you yeah well.
Speaker 1 (00:33):
We see each other
almost every day, so you know
I'm doing well.
The only one we don't see thatoften is Pim how are you doing?
Speaker 2 (00:41):
doing good, yeah.
He says yeah, like being a lazygirl.
Speaker 1 (00:46):
Being a lazy girl.
Yeah, that's Thai style, Ithink.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
Not, everyone Not
everyone.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
So we thought about
what we are going to do in this
episode and we decided we wantto do something a bit different.
So basically we want to talkabout other things we can do in
Pattaya rather than partying anddoing naughty stuff all day
long.
So we did have some burnoutdays that we felt like fuck it,
(01:21):
we cannot go to the bars anymore.
What happened?
But we felt like fuck it, wecannot go to the bars anymore.
What happened?
Just in general.
You know, sometimes you overdoit and you are always in the
bars, always drinking, meetingthe same people, doing the same
activities all the time, whichis drinking and naughty shit.
So sometimes you just say Icannot do that anymore, and many
(01:49):
people think that this city isonly about partying and fucking,
which is not right.
Drinking is also involved, but,being seriously, there are many
other things we can do here.
For example, scott, how manytime already have we been to the
go-kart?
Speaker 4 (02:03):
you may three times.
Three times, yes.
So Michelle's come twice andTina's come twice, yeah, and
it's good, it's, it's reallygood.
It's good phone and it's notexpensive and it's yeah, it's
something to do to get away fromit all yeah, and also the thing
(02:27):
it's not about all the otheractivities, but those activities
.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
they are not only
operating during the daytime,
right?
For example, the go-kart, Ithink, it opens until 1 am or
something like that, so you canjust go there at 11, say, okay,
I'm not drunk, but I can drive,yeah, having some fun, and, as
you said, it's not expensive andit's actually like refreshing,
(02:51):
you know yeah, yeah, no, it's,uh, it's really good though, um,
I think when you said aboutlike the burnout days, so I
especially had it when I went tobangkok went to bangkok for
work, bangkok for work yeah.
Speaker 4 (03:05):
Didn't really expect
to drink that much.
Ended up drinking Every day,every day in Bangkok, yeah but
it's your boss' fault.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
He was like the
menace.
Speaker 4 (03:16):
And then I came back
and it was first night back in
Pattaya, went out, second nightout in Pattaya, went out, and I
think we had a big run there,yeah.
And then after it's like, yeah,we need some days off, but it's
nice to meet up and it's niceto do something different.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
Yeah, like just go
grab some food, do something
else, like we were talking.
You know what.
I will even give a crazyexample.
I know we all know one lady boynamed Kiwi she hasn't been on
the podcast yet, but you weretrying to actually like she used
to be a Thai boxer, right, aMuay Thai boxer and you try to
(04:00):
convince her, hey, let's goboxing sometimes, like let's do
something different, not alwayslike sitting in the same place
drinking the same drinks.
She wasn't available and shewas.
I think she didn't reallyunderstand your intentions
behind it yeah because she's notvery.
It's not very she's not speakingvery well english, as we say
(04:20):
but like those kinds of thingsthat you can do, like you can
always go to some bar Even ifyou're alone here, let's say you
don't have any friends, anymates, nothing.
Go to some bar, meet some nicelady or ladyboy, but do
something else.
Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4 (04:36):
Take her to the
movies.
Yeah, I've taken, I've been tothe beach with a few, just you
know, and that doesn't costanything.
Really, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (04:46):
It does you have to
pay for the chair.
Speaker 4 (04:48):
You have to pay for
the drinks.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
You have to pay for
her time some time.
Speaker 4 (04:52):
But it's yeah, but
it's nice.
I think most of them will goand do something with you.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
During the daytime.
Yeah, as long as you don't haveto pay the bar fine, which is
basically bar fine, is justextending to the listener.
You pay bar fine in order totake it out of the bar for that
day.
So there is like two kinds ofbar fine, which one of them is
show time yeah and the other oneis a long time, which means the
whole night the whole night.
Speaker 4 (05:21):
Yeah, those prices
like yeah but the first time we
went go-karting you brought Pim,I brought a girl that I was
seeing yeah you still haven'tmentioned Pim's go-karting
experience.
No, we haven't spoken about ityet I don't know if she wants to
talk about it let's just sayshe will not be in the next F1
(05:43):
tournament.
But we had fun and it was justthe four of us on the track and
it was good.
So, yeah, there's definitelylots to do here.
So when I've been here before,I used to do motocross back in
the UK, yeah, and when I used tocome over here with friends, we
(06:07):
would often go on like endurobikes so off-road bikes for like
three, four hours.
There's a really good place inPattaya that does.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
Yeah, but they take
you to the mountains.
Yeah, yeah, like a track?
Speaker 4 (06:17):
no, it's yeah.
And if you're, if you're atourist here or even if you live
here and you can, you can ridea motorbike.
They do it for all abilities.
So if you're a pro, then theycan go, absolutely beast you.
But if you're not, then they'lltake you.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
You took the pro
option.
Speaker 4 (06:34):
No, no, I took the
middle one and then….
Speaker 1 (06:37):
The babies.
You went with the youngchildren.
No, no.
Speaker 4 (06:39):
They still fuck me up
Really.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (06:50):
But no, they, they'll
cater for all abilities.
Um so if if you live here, ifyou're a tourist here and you
can ride a motorbike, I'ddefinitely recommend it, because
you see so much more of thecountry than you would by just
sitting in well, on the area atleast, because, yeah, yeah, the
whole country.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
Yeah, yeah, at least
if we're talking Chonbui
Panglamung, yeah, yeah exactly,so you know you can come here.
Speaker 4 (07:08):
You can sit in
Pattaya.
The good thing is, you'll burnloads of alcohol off and also,
don't do those stuff when you'redrunk.
No, no, but we we would do itthe day after and you were hung
over, and after five minutesyou're not hung over anymore.
Yeah, you sweat everything outand you're shitting yourself.
(07:30):
So um, so yeah, but that that'sreally good.
And you, you see so much, youknow they take you through like
the rice fields, through rubberplantations, uh, just loads of
stuff that you wouldn't that,you wouldn't that, you wouldn't
say yeah.
And I've done that in lots ofother countries as well.
I've done it in Cambodia, I'vedone it in Dubai, other places
(07:55):
in Europe.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
It's, it's a really
good way of seeing countryside,
was this one, the cheapestoption, because I remember we
spoke about it.
You told me it wasn't thatcheap.
Speaker 4 (08:07):
No, so it's for a
three hour one.
It's about 4,000 baht For threehours.
It's worth it.
The bikes are really good.
The bikes are in really goodcondition.
All the equipment is new enoughbrand new, all in really good
condition.
All the equipment is new enoughbrand new, all in really good
condition, which is important.
(08:27):
Um, I've done it other placesand the equipment wasn't quite
so as uh as maintained as thisyeah so you're on some rickety
piece of shit.
So, uh yeah, doing it here isreally good, so that's one thing
that I want to start doingagain, I want actually to get
(08:52):
help perspective, peopleperspective.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
So there's someone
that actually lives here, right,
yeah, and now you're that youare not working in the bus, like
what, what other activities notonly you do but you would
recommend to people doing hereoutside of drinking in the bars
every day?
Speaker 2 (09:14):
For me it's like on
the beach in the evening or in
the early, something like thatnight okay.
So it's like uh, before beforeI work in a bar and then I'm
finished work, I'm just hangingout with friends to the beach
road and we grab some food.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
We got some drink I
heard the term, that's called
the coconut bar, but I think youdon't mean that that doesn't
mean that yeah but for this time.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
I mean, what is?
Speaker 1 (09:41):
someone doesn't
really going out, I wasn't
really going out and I just ummeet friend from like a other
bells or yeah, I doesn't meetthem a lot like before, just
some okay but let's say you wantto wind out, you want to do
something like different.
(10:03):
What would you go for?
Like would you do motorbikelike motocross biking?
Speaker 4 (10:10):
no, we saw her go
karting probably, yeah, I think
wait, wait, wait.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
I have to stop you.
I think most of the ties betteron the motorbike than on the
car, like on the go kart.
She didn go-kart, she didn'tdid, let's say she didn't give
her best performance.
She was just crashing all thetime into the walls yeah, just
let the start, and then I crash,yeah and they had to come and
(10:37):
rescue you because your, yourcart was stuck under the safety
tire and it's for a second time.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, but I thinkwith motorbike you will be more
comfortable, even if it's a dirtbike.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
Yeah, yeah, I'm sorry
to do motorbike first.
Never try with car.
I never drive car.
I feel like car is too big forme.
Speaker 1 (10:59):
Okay, and.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
I'm feeling like I
see like accident from the car.
It's different control, yeah,different control, and it's hard
to control, like everything inone's time.
Speaker 4 (11:09):
Okay, yeah, so you
can ride a motorbike.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
Motorbike yeah, I can
, With gears, Not big bike With
gear yeah, I can.
Speaker 1 (11:17):
But not big bikes.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
Not big bikes, okay.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
And dirt bikes, huh
Like mot bikes like motocross
Not on the road.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
On the road I can.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
No, but not on the
road, sorry, again Off the road,
like go to the mountain withthe big one.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
No, I can't.
Speaker 3 (11:35):
Okay, so it's not
good activity for her.
Speaker 2 (11:37):
Maybe because I've
never tried before.
Speaker 4 (11:39):
She will just crash
into the first three.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
Never try, never know
it's like the slogan of Pataya
the lady was in Pataya never try, never know yeah, you could be
the champion you might be.
You have to give it a chance.
But other than that, let's sayyou have a budget of.
(12:04):
Let's say you have a budget of,let's say, 10,000 baht that you
have to spend today of otheractivities, what would you do in
Pattaya?
Speaker 2 (12:12):
I don't have anything
in my mind really go shooting
paintball or go do jet ski forme it's like because many places
doing that like just ski yourbutt on a boat, but if.
I need the place for for goingout.
(12:36):
I I think it's just me, becauseI'm not going out, you know.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
I find it interesting
and I tell you why.
Yeah, my ex-wife also.
She used to live here and sheknew nothing about Pattaya, like
where it can go, what it can do.
I had to teach her everything,like even the teppercit market.
She didn't know about it.
I said, hey, let's go to theteppercit market.
What is the teppercit market?
Like some of the thais not all,but like they're living in
(13:09):
their own bubble they go to,let's say, they walk in the bar.
So they go to the bar, drinkwith friends, go to the room and
this is like the cycle, right?
so we're here, to teach you whatyou can do in Pattaya.
Speaker 4 (13:19):
Yeah, exactly, but
like saying that I know I'm
guilty of that.
Living in the UK, it was.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
Staying in your own
bubble.
Speaker 4 (13:29):
There's stuff.
You know there's so much to seein the UK and you know I'd have
family that would visit fromoverseas and they would do all
this stuff and be like, oh, haveyou done this?
Speaker 1 (13:40):
Have you done this?
No, and they would do all thisstuff and be like, oh, have you
done this?
Have you done this no?
Speaker 4 (13:43):
It's on your doorstep
.
Speaker 1 (13:45):
So you think it's
because we are still in a kind
of like vacation mode in ourheads?
Speaker 4 (13:50):
Yeah, yeah, we're
actively going out and looking
for stuff to do, maybe notvacation mode, but, like I used
to have loads of hobbies in theUK, so now I'm living here I
need to start those up again,because I would go out once a
week if that now it's three,four, five, you know a whole
(14:10):
week, yeah so I know that I needto stop doing that.
It's not sustainable, um, andit's better for your mind to go
out and actually do something.
Yeah, do something active andthat isn't just dancing yeah.
Speaker 1 (14:27):
So when we met
michelle for the last few times,
we were actually having thisconversation a lot of okay, we
are partying too much, we aredrinking too much, we really
have to do something else, andall of us kind of don't want to
stay in the room all the timeyeah because it's it can get
like, because it's not reallyour home, like the room that we
(14:50):
live in we don't really feellike it's a comfortable place.
It's more, you always say it'slike a prison yeah, sometimes it
can be.
Speaker 4 (14:58):
Yeah, I get like like
cabin fever and what is that?
I don't know this term.
So, uh, cabin fever is whatlike sailors used to get
hundreds of years ago when theywere you know, they've been on
the boat for so long that youjust have to, you just hate it,
you just want to get out oh okay, so you just jump into the
water you want to get off kindof thing, so yeah, cabin fever
(15:22):
Well, you can get off here veryeasily.
So yeah, it's just like feelingtrapped.
And you're just like oh, likeI'm stuck in the room, like
yesterday we were talking abouttoday.
Speaker 1 (15:36):
You know, we went out
really hungover it was two days
ago, not yesterday, Was itYesterday?
You stayed in the room and wewere talking about maybe we go
out it was like 1 or 2 am, Idon't remember and you said, no,
no, fuck it.
So yeah it's.
Speaker 4 (15:53):
Yeah, sometimes you
stay in the room because you're
hungover and it's like I don'twant to do anything else when I
sit on the sofa.
But yeah, it's.
But even if you're not hungoverand you're sitting in the room
all the time, it's yeah, it canget a bit boxy, like you're just
stuck.
Speaker 1 (16:13):
But we were talking
about badminton.
Speaker 4 (16:15):
Yeah yeah.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
We were talking about
going fishing, which I promised
I will arrange and I stillhaven't done anything about it.
Speaker 3 (16:22):
So it's my fault,
fault yeah but I like fishing.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
I don't know if you
like fishing, have you went?
Speaker 3 (16:27):
fishing before.
Speaker 2 (16:28):
Yeah, I do Boat
fishing from the boats.
No, would you join us?
Speaker 1 (16:32):
if we do something
like that.
Speaker 2 (16:36):
When I don't know yet
.
Speaker 1 (16:37):
Yeah, I need to
arrange it, but it will be like
three or four hours.
We rent the big boat from BaliHai, the pier here in Pattaya,
patria called bali high.
So we will rent.
I'm not telling you, I'mtelling them, you know, bali
high.
Of course.
We will rent a big boat overthere and then they give you the
whole, all everything, sorry,all the equipment that you need
it's so good, it's such a good,all the equipment that you need,
(17:01):
and they bring like people thathelp you if you don't know how
to do and there is a chef.
So actually the fish that youcatch, they cook for you.
Oh yeah, I hear about it andit's like five thousand for four
hours, something like that.
Yeah, not per person, like thewhole thing.
Yeah, yeah, so pim will pay forus 5,000.
(17:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (17:22):
Thank you, ha ha,
yeah, no, that'd be good.
Speaker 1 (17:28):
So it's again
badminton fishing.
I want to go shooting range,but none of you guys really
interested into.
Speaker 4 (17:35):
Yeah, Well, it's.
The problem is I just find itreally expensive here.
Speaker 1 (17:40):
It is.
Speaker 4 (17:41):
Shooting range is
expensive, so like I've said I
used to have guns in the UK.
Speaker 1 (17:47):
And we know how much
ammunition actually costs.
Speaker 4 (17:50):
Yeah, we know how
expensive it is.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
No, I mean it's not
that expensive, yeah, yeah.
You should buy a bullet forabout a dollar.
Speaker 4 (17:58):
Yeah, yeah, so yeah.
I'll do it at some point, butat the minute I've got no
massive urge to spend that moneyhave you tried jet skiing here?
No, so I haven't done that yet.
So I.
Speaker 1 (18:15):
I never did it
anywhere in the world, like it's
very popular in my country, butI never even tried it.
The reason I don't try it hereis because there is the whole
jet ski scam that everyone istalking about.
You heard about it, sobasically what they do you rent
a jet ski right and then yougive them your passport
(18:36):
information.
Without it they will not letyou rent a jet ski and it's very
cheap.
But the jet ski also alreadyhave like some broken parts on
it.
Speaker 3 (18:46):
Right Like.
Speaker 1 (18:47):
I mean just the body,
and when you go in the water
it's automatically fall off.
And then they blame you.
Oh, you break the jet ski.
You have to pay an absurdamount of money, like I don't
know 20,000 baht for a piece ofplastic which you really didn't
break.
So this used to be a commonscam in Thailand.
(19:09):
I don't know if it's stillgoing on, but it's kind of scary
because I want to enjoy it butI don't want to get scammed.
So there was a famous story.
I think it was here in Pattaya,but I'm not sure.
So there was a famous story.
I think it was here in Pattaya,but I'm not sure.
So there were some guys in themilitary and they were yeah, I
think it was here in Pattaya andone of the guys like this there
(19:32):
is a military base around here,right, an American one, I think
it's American one.
So one of the guys went andtook a jet ski and they did a
scam, that scam to him.
So one of the guys went andtook a jet ski and they did a
scam, that scam to him, and theytried to scam him for like,
even more, like 50,000 or 60,000.
I don't remember.
And they actually called thepolice but he called his
(19:55):
commander and his directcommander is like the integrator
between the U S army and Thaiarmy, like some big, big shot
guy, you know, and he just camethere with with some Thai
general and they sorted it out.
Speaker 4 (20:04):
But it was lucky for
the other guy, because your
general person wouldn't be ableto do that so I don't want to
try it, but we need to find acool place for it.
Speaker 3 (20:17):
But also you are like
British.
Speaker 1 (20:19):
You will get burned
in minutes in the sun.
Speaker 4 (20:24):
No, it's good yeah.
I mean I went sailing, didn't Ilike a few weeks ago, yeah.
Speaker 1 (20:30):
Yeah, that's a good
example actually to something
that, even if you cannot findsomething in Pattaya, thailand
in general, is so cheap totravel in, like you can go
anywhere any in thailand forabout 1000 baht, 1500 baht yeah,
any place yeah and then thereare lots of activities to do.
Speaker 4 (20:49):
Yeah, elsewhere I
don't I don't know if I spoke
about on the previous one.
I don't think so.
I don't want to keep yeah no,go on I don't repeat myself.
So yeah, I did the sailingcourse in phuket um, which was
like from zero experience tobeing able to skip a yacht so
you can go and rent your ownyacht, but you got the speaker,
(21:11):
the skipper, like certificate.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
Yeah, yeah, okay so,
um.
Speaker 4 (21:15):
So if we wanted to go
down to the marina and say,
okay, we're, we want to hire ayacht, like I could you can just
keep it.
Yeah, that's nice.
So, um, so that was that was areally good course, but because
I did it, so they do it from uhin patea as well.
There's the school, so there'sone in patea and then there's
one in piquet.
Um, piquet was good because I'dnever been there before and we
(21:40):
went all around the islands, sowe went to like Krabi and then
we went down to Phi Phi and allaround there, so it was like it
was amazing to see the again,just like different parts of
Thailand.
That you wouldn't normally see,so that was really good.
Speaker 1 (21:58):
Would you think about
like sometimes because now you
kind of live here, right Wouldyou think sometimes take just a
week off and just go to anotherplace in Thailand to experience
it.
Would you do something likethat?
Or right now your mind is moreokay.
I'm in Pattaya, I have to.
Speaker 4 (22:14):
No, no, I think, yeah
, I think, like I know I had
said in the first episode that Iwas on, I think that I'd only
come to Pattaya every time Icame here, pattaya, pattaya.
Speaker 3 (22:28):
Every time I came
here, pattaya, pattaya.
Speaker 1 (22:31):
That was it so now.
Speaker 4 (22:31):
I have explored a bit
more and we got a bit sick of
it.
Speaker 1 (22:36):
Not sick Sick is not
the right word but, as you said,
burnout, like when you stayhere all the time.
Speaker 4 (22:43):
So it's yeah, yeah,
it's, uh, yeah, I'll definitely
go on holiday to other places.
So I mean, I've got um familythat are potentially gonna come
in, like the next sort of sixmonths or something, so so then
I'll probably go.
Yeah, no, no, like my sisterand her husband they want to
come over, so they alwaysmessage me about flights and
(23:06):
stuff.
So, yeah, so I'd probably takethem somewhere else.
Speaker 1 (23:13):
Yeah, don't let them
stay in Pattea.
Speaker 4 (23:17):
They might like it
too much.
Speaker 1 (23:21):
Your sister after one
week has a ladyboy boyfriend
yeah and her husband is split up.
Speaker 4 (23:28):
No, so, so yeah, so
I'll definitely, you know, take
a week off and go somewhere elsein Thailand do you recommend us
somewhere in Thailand to go,except of your hometown?
Speaker 3 (23:42):
where's your hometown
.
Speaker 2 (23:44):
Where's your hometown
?
My hometown is in ChantaburiChantaburi.
Speaker 4 (23:48):
Okay, you know where
is that.
No, no, sorry yeah it's notfamous.
Speaker 2 (23:53):
It is famous For
tourists.
Speaker 1 (23:56):
All the tourists that
are doing visa runs go from
there.
Speaker 2 (23:58):
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah
the border.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
So it's on the border
with Cambodia?

Speaker 1 (25:56):
So only the Pattaya
area.
Area, area this area.
Speaker 2 (26:06):
Okay, so you're
actually not a good.
Speaker 1 (26:07):
You cannot give us
good advices no, I can give you
advice about pocket.
I didn't like it.
I find I didn't like it.
So I find it.
First of all, it's moreexpensive, much more expensive,
and I didn't like the generalenvironment over there.
So basically they have themenron road, vangala road over
there and patong beach andthat's it like.
(26:30):
Yeah, phuket is a huge area,but this is the main tourist
area and it's like two streetsand outside of that is like the
dark side here in pattaya, thereis nothing.
So I was very disappointed,extremely disappointed.
Speaker 2 (26:49):
I hear about it.
It's like just big but quiet.
Speaker 1 (26:53):
Yeah, it's just like
the place for family or kind of
yes, yeah, it became like that,I think, since, well, the war
with Russia and Ukraine, so manyof those guys came here to stay
here, and that's part of it.
That it's kind of changed LikePhuket is very Russian now,
(27:17):
which is good and bad, likethere is benefits to everything
and yeah, this is that, thatwhat's going on.
You never be.
Oh, you've been there and youdidn't like it.
Also like the city, yeah, thecity you find.
Speaker 4 (27:29):
Yeah, I didn't like
baton there was there.
There was areas in aroundphuket that were nice, that we
found, but I didn't go to thelike the old town or anything
like that, so but apparentlythat's supposed to be good,
that's supposed to be reallynice.
Speaker 1 (27:42):
I had only three days
when I was there.
So I said like I will stay inthe main area, because for me,
as a person that normally goesto pata, I say, oh, the main
area is supposed to be amazing,like this is the place to go.
And it was like, oh, the Idon't know 50 same bars that you
go at and everyone likeharassing you even more than
(28:03):
Pattaya, like grabbing you, andthen you get beaten up and
arrested yeah, that's your style, that's more of your style so,
yeah, no, I wasn't arrestedalmost
Speaker 4 (28:15):
it was close yeah,
voluntarily arrested myself, but
yeah, so it's.
Speaker 1 (28:26):
I wasn't too keen on
Puka either, but have you been
to I'm going back to Pattayahave you been to the fish market
in Nacla?
Speaker 3 (28:41):
so it's actually a
nice place.
Speaker 1 (28:41):
So there is to the
fish market in Nacla, no, so
it's actually a nice place.
So there is a big fish marketover there that you can go and
buy fish and any seafood thatyou want, and outside of it
there is a park and near thepark there are many people that
have like open barbecues and yougive them like the fish that
you bought and everything.
You pay them.
I don't know 50 baht, I don'tremember how much, yeah, and you
pay them.
(29:01):
I don't know 50 baht, I don'tremember how much, yeah, and
they make everything on the spotand then you can rent like the
picnic blanket and everything.
Just nice place like to spendthe afternoon.
Yeah, like, not me and you, itwill be kind of weird not me and
you sitting here a picniceating, but with some nice lady
or lady boy.
Yeah, like spending the time.
You should try it once,especially if you like fish or
(29:22):
seafood and it's really niceit's really close to the temple,
the century of truth, what thename of the temple?
The wood temple, the templemade of wood, I think, yeah,
yeah, I think, century, yeah, oftruth, as he said.
(29:44):
So, yeah, it's really close tothere, so it's nice.
And actually, nakloa, you notgo there too much, right?
You never been there?
No, to the north area of Patheno it's completely different.
You have to give it a try.
Speaker 4 (30:02):
I've been to.
Is it Wangamat, Wangamat?
Speaker 1 (30:06):
Where is that?
Speaker 2 (30:08):
The beach.
Is it like a Beach Beach?
Yeah, when?
Speaker 4 (30:14):
That's north of
Pattaya Beach, north Pattaya.
Speaker 2 (30:16):
Beach.
That's as north as I've been,but that's a really nice beach,
clean, yeah, it's really nicebeach, okay, really clean.
Speaker 4 (30:24):
Yeah, it's really
nice, really clean.
When I went it wasn't too busy,okay, so that's a nice beach to
go to.
Speaker 2 (30:31):
I'm not gonna say
like this morning in the morning
is not really busy.
Speaker 1 (30:38):
It's like In a day or
evening?
Okay, yeah, I would give it atry.
What the name again?
Okay, yeah, I cannot even saythat, but I will look well, I
said, I said wonga definitelynot there.
Speaker 4 (30:55):
That's how it's
spelled.
Speaker 1 (30:56):
Yeah, yeah, so yeah,
you have that.
You have have Nakloa area.
You've been to Jontien already,right.
Yeah yeah, you liked it, partsof it.
I found myself, when I wasthere, just being drawn to
Pattaya, so my grief withJontien is that because many of
(31:19):
the people that live there areold people, like even for
retirees, they are old, Likethey are 60, 70 up.
Speaker 3 (31:29):
Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 (31:30):
It's kind of dead in
the night, like in the daytime
it's busy, but you see everyonelike walking with a cane or
whatnot.
Everyone is so old over thereReally, and nighttime, like
after 10, it's dead.
Yeah, it's dead yeah like thereis nothing there.
There is like two, two areasthat still have people, so one
(31:51):
of them is the gay area that'scalled super town.
Uh, it's right when you enter.
Why are you smiling?
Speaker 4 (31:58):
I don't know, I'm
just I'm just giving information
.
Speaker 3 (32:05):
We are sitting here
with lady boy we are speaking
about lady boys all the time.
Speaker 1 (32:08):
I just said yeah,
yeah you are like a young boy
just looking very intensely atme while you're saying it okay,
and there is another, uh, behindit, well, behind the main road,
there is like a bar complexwhich is kind of big, with many,
many.
It actually looks like ifyou've been to Myth Night, which
(32:31):
used to be so it made inThailand like many open bars.
Speaker 4 (32:35):
Okay, yeah, no, when
I was there, I went to the night
market there, which was reallygood, okay For food.
So there's just loads of streetfood places, so you can just
get whatever you want.
Whatever you want.
So that was really good, but Ididn't really drink around there
because, like you said, it wasjust a bit dead and a bit quiet.
Speaker 1 (32:59):
And also the people
that you meet in the bars there
are like….
Speaker 4 (33:02):
I just didn't even go
to any because there were some
nice looking bars on the, youknow, on the beach front.
But you'd walk past and therewould be no one in there.
Speaker 1 (33:12):
And then you're kind
of like I don't want to go in
there, there's no one in there,so I just go to, I agree there
is good food over there and ifyou want to spend like one or
two quiet nights, it's a goodplace to go, but it's not as
lively.
Yeah, like Pattaya even now,since everything moved out of
(33:35):
the beach road and actually allthe nightlife moving east in
Pattaya.
Like almost all these areas,even where we are now, which is
kind of the south part inPattaya, like almost all these
areas, even where we are now,which is kind of the south part
of Pattaya.
Always.
You see people here like thereis always something to do.
I know you live like kind of inthe north side of Pattaya and
(33:55):
it's also we've been therebefore.
There are many things to do,many restaurants over there,
yeah.
Speaker 2 (34:00):
I rather have more,
just just have more, like
there's a wrong and they startto have like big market now.
Speaker 1 (34:09):
Would you know he's
thinking about going golfing.
Would you go golf with him?
Play golf, hey, play golf.
I never played golf.
This is not what I asked.
I didn't ask if you play golf.
I asked if you would go playgolf with him.
Speaker 2 (34:22):
Maybe Would you walk.
Speaker 1 (34:26):
You need to walk a
lot and carry this.
Speaker 4 (34:27):
No, to be fair, they
have buggies over here.
Speaker 1 (34:29):
Really, so you don't
have to carry anything.
Speaker 4 (34:31):
It's pretty much like
a standard thing.
Speaker 1 (34:34):
I think because of
the heat, most of the people
there are.
Speaker 4 (34:39):
Yeah, I don't know
Everything that I've ever, so I
haven't played golf here.
I yeah, I don't know everythingthat I've ever when I've looked
, so I haven't played golf here.
I've had friends that haveplayed golf here and there's
some stunning golf courses, yeah, so, and compared to the UK,
like it's reasonably, yeah, andit's not raining all the time
it's reasonably priced andyou're not going to play on
anything like this back in theUK unless you're spending, you
(35:02):
know, hundreds of pounds, sohundreds of pounds for one day
yeah, some.
Yeah, really, some of it's to dowith, like, the prestige of it
and stuff, but okay, some of itsquality, uh.
But some of the courses here,how?
Much is that like you pay here.
Speaker 1 (35:18):
I never.
Speaker 4 (35:18):
I'm not a golfer, I
never, even so I've seen some
that are like 2,000 baht For aday.
Yeah, up to like 4,000 baht.
That's on a day, isn't it?
But I think that includes likea buggy and you have a caddy as
well, that will help you, okay,so, yeah, it's quite good.
(35:40):
So I'm looking forward to doingthat, because when I did the
off-road motorbiking, I wentpast a golf course and I could
just see this grass that was sogreen.
Speaker 1 (35:54):
I'd never seen it so
green, and I was like, oh my God
, that's incredible.
Speaker 4 (35:58):
So yeah, that's
definitely something I want to
do, yeah actually we had to dosome walking today in Pattaya.
Speaker 1 (36:05):
I mean for some
personal reasons, but we were
walking around and there aremany places that are specialized
in golf tourings, like golftours.
Speaker 3 (36:13):
Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 (36:13):
So for the people
that don't know, you can just
find those bars, because most ofthem say golf, whatever this is
their name, and they are doingtours and you can sign yourself
in for like any day that youwant to go out we've seen a few
and there's, you know, somethree days a week, some are five
, six days a week, and there'llbe different courses with
(36:36):
different people.
Speaker 4 (36:36):
So it's my plan to
try and do that, to try and get
out and meet new people, notjust you.
What about Michel?
Come on, what about Michel?
I go to the gym with Michel now.
So, yeah, it's a way of meetingpeople.
(36:58):
So if you're sitting here andyou used to play golf back home
or you do play golf, then Ithink it's a good way of getting
out and meeting new people, aswell, yeah, we were talking
today also.
Speaker 1 (37:11):
I don't know if you
ever been to, but we want to go
to a Muay Thai like night youknow, in the arena, the arena
sometimes they have like MuayThai fighting.
Speaker 2 (37:25):
The Max Boxing
Stadium.
Speaker 1 (37:26):
I don't know the name
of the place, but there is a
big arena here and sometimesthey do a fight night, so they
have like 12 boxers, like sixmatches, something like that.
Speaker 2 (37:37):
Do you mean yeah,
boxing stage, yeah yeah, yeah,
it's named Max?
Have you been there before?
Yeah, I've been one time, twotimesian stage it's named Max
Motenko.
Have you been there before?
Yeah, I've been one time, twotimes, like that.
Speaker 1 (37:46):
Really.
Speaker 2 (37:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (37:47):
Like in big matches.
Speaker 2 (37:49):
In big in Bangkok.
Speaker 1 (37:51):
No, no here.
Speaker 2 (37:52):
But when you?
Speaker 1 (37:52):
went.
Was it like big tournaments orjust?
Speaker 2 (37:56):
Just like a
tournament in Local tournament.
Speaker 1 (37:59):
Yeah, local
tournament.
Okay, how much does it cost?
Speaker 2 (38:04):
For I think it'd be
like 1,500.
Speaker 1 (38:07):
1,500 for a person.
Speaker 2 (38:10):
Yeah, yeah, For the
whole night right.
Yeah right, yeah right.
Speaker 1 (38:13):
Not for just match,
for one match, just for the
whole night, the whole night.
Okay, that's reasonable pricealso.
Yeah, yeah, as we said, saidlike you can spend the night
over there.
Yeah, you will do some drinking, but it will be yeah, yeah
different experience than thebars, and that can be an option
yeah was it good?
Speaker 2 (38:30):
yeah, it was, that's
good.
But um, for me it's like uh, ifyou've been in the the big
match, it's gonna be like havefun more, because local matches
like more tourists come and much, yeah, more chinese tourists.
They are like a big group.
You know what I mean.
(38:51):
Yeah, and it's have, it's havefun, but it's it's like um, they
, they say big and sometimeslike I don't know what people
think, but I think they speakloud sometimes.
Speaker 1 (39:07):
Loud.
Speaker 2 (39:07):
Loud yeah.
Yeah, okay, but yeah, it couldbe because, like, yeah, boxing
and they have fun and they yeah.
Speaker 1 (39:14):
but it's also a
different culture.
The Thai are very.
They try normally to speak veryquiet and calmly, normally when
they're not drunk, at leastApart from ladyboys yeah, come
on, when they are not drunk, atleast apart from lady boys yeah,
come on, we are not evencomparing that like the other
day that we were in the bar andthere was like it was so funny.
We sat in the bar and there waslike one lady boy there and she
saw customers and she calledthem hello, they are not
(39:38):
listening then she just went hey, where are you come here?
and they were like shocked, youknow, with their main voice.
Speaker 2 (39:45):
I have a sound.
I did that before wait.
Speaker 1 (39:54):
So that's not your
real voice.
No, that's not.
That's not.
We need to do an episode thatshe only speaks in her real
voice.
It will be funny you can dothis man real voice, okay, okay
so, with your fake voice, withyour man fake voice kind of like
(40:14):
much better than that voice.
By the way, if we are talking,we already talked about boxing.
You know that you have boxingexperience.
Have you heard about that?
No, so I'll just give you theend of the story and she can
fill it up.
She actually won a tournamentfirst place in a boxing match.
(40:34):
Really, you want to talk aboutit?
Speaker 2 (40:39):
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That time before I had surgerythey had like the ice rink in
Thailand.
He had the restaurant and hewanted to promote his restaurant
with something like ladyboy,ladyboy boxing, yeah, like.
Speaker 1 (40:59):
And before that she
was a bit more heavy.
Speaker 2 (41:01):
Yeah, more heavy and
no boobs.
No boobs Because they said yeahmore heavy and no boobs,
because they said like nosurgery, no anything.
No, put any silicone on face.
Like natural lady boy just havefive.
Speaker 3 (41:16):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (41:17):
Yeah, and then, like
at, a winner is got 7,000 like
that.
Speaker 3 (41:22):
How many fights you
had.
Speaker 2 (41:24):
I had three rounds.
Three rounds, that's it, andshe won.
Yeah, I won Like I won in amatch and I won from like most
people were out there.
Speaker 1 (41:41):
Voting like the
people vote.
Speaker 2 (41:43):
Yeah, people vote
like a good match, okay, yeah
but I must say that I saw thevideo.
Speaker 1 (41:48):
It's not like a
professional boxing, like I saw
the way she was boxing.
Speaker 2 (41:52):
It's more like street
fighting okay, you know, yeah,
it's more like like.
Speaker 1 (41:57):
I saw the way she
swang.
Speaker 4 (41:58):
It's like you know
the whole, the whole movement,
but it's still funny.

want to know fair fight if I put
you with Kiwi.

could have punished myself
because she, she had theexperience right for me.
Speaker 4 (42:32):
I don't want to
punish my friend like that but
if you had to wait, wait, wait,I have an idea if you guys want,
we can do on the Patreon aspecial match between her and
Kiwi.
Speaker 1 (42:47):
It will be, expensive
for you guys, but it will be
worth it.
No naked match, they will stillwear clothes, but nice boxing
fight.
I can arrange that.
We can arrange that, I knowyeah.
Speaker 2 (42:58):
Okay, Kiwi.
Speaker 1 (42:59):
