Another Beautiful Sunrise in Pattaya
By Talen on Apr 5, 2009 in Pattaya, Thailand Pictures, Thailand Travel
Well, the last few days have gone rather quickly. I’ve been doing a whole lot of nothing for the past two days due to some dodgy pork I ate the other night. The good news is I am much better now thanks to the doctor at the clinic and Pokie taking good care of me.
It’s an odd thing that I can get quick, efficient and cheap medical care here in Thailand whereas if I were in the States it would be the exact opposite. Now, I’m not talking about brain surgery here but the kind of medical care most families need on a daily basis. The quick in and out have a sore throat or stomach cramps kinda thing. There was a time in America when everyone had a family doctor they would go to for such things and the doctor knew you and treated you quickly and cheaply…a relic of our past I guess.
Anyway, I’ve still been busy the past few days. Hanging out in the rain at Starbucks next to Tukcom for a bit and then shopping for ingredients for a home cooked Lao meal. Looks like next week I’ll be heading to Mukdahan for Songkran then on to Nacome Phanom where I’m told I’ll be having a working vacation. For now just a few pics.

Talen great pics I like the sun rise but they are all good. My favourite is the monks.
Haven’t seen any rain here for a long while hope it doesn’t dampen your holiday!
Glad to see you have the essentials in the Starbuck’s shot.

What a great photo, looks swell. April and it’s raining in Pattaya…even more amazing. I hope I don’t live to regret saying this but I’ve never had any stomach problems in Thailand only mandatory chest viruses brought on by the dreaded air condition due to me being a chain smoking asthmatic. Reading your Pattaya posts brings back many great memories, Wilai and myself are heading there for four days ourselves next month. Thanks for the taster.

Martyn, first time for stomach problems for me and hopefully the last. Clinic fixed me up good.
Talen , you have a way with the camera and always capture some great shots, did you get the didgy pork at a roadside stand? I will eat food from roadside stands all over Thailand except for Bkk , and I don’t really know why. I’m sure when you get up north the is a honey do list from hell just waiting on you , take it easy and don’t try to do it all in one day Malcolm

Malcolm, I actually got the dodgy pork at the hotel restaurant. Great hotel but crap food! And the honey do list is growing…apparently there is a barn to be mucked out now too….
It’s such a shame that most people on this earth miss sunrises, they great much more atmosphere than sunsets as exampled.
Tis is the second time this evenignI have seen post that includes referecne to a MThai Massage (one of your picture)
I assume you are looking forward to you working vacation….
