A Budget Breakfast Café and a Good Information and Tour Desk in Pattaya

Membership site now open! Check it out here.

When visiting or living in Pattaya sometimes it's hard to find a good, clean place to eat a good breakfast that is a reasonable price. Most are disproportionately expensive because Thais don't eat a traditional Western breakfast. Here is a little place you can try that has good breakfasts and coffee. Also I threw in a plug for a small booth catering to tours and transportation because the guy was so helpful to me. You will see the results of his help in upcoming videos!

Budget, Clean, and Convenient Long and Short Term Room Choices in Pattaya

Membership site now open! Check it out here.

When visiting Pattaya sometimes it's hard to find a good, clean guest houses that are reasonable, especially if you are going to stay for a while. They all get beat very quick due to the volume of people they move through and seem not to get much maintenance work done. Some guests aren't the type that care about leaving the place as good as they found it either. Here are a couple places to consider. I have stayed at both and would stay there again when I go back for sure. For more photos, info and a map, go to www.MapsNMore.com.

Pattaya Thailand -- Affordable Lab Tests to Insure Good Health

Membership site now open! Check it out here.

Most Americans have shelved the idea of getting medical work done unless they are wheeled into an Emergency room. That is, unless someone has insurance, and that's not many now, Most just forgo the procedure and suffer the consequences.  But if you live in a place like Thailand or want to live there you can keep up with your health by periodically taking necessary tests without giving up an arm and a leg in the process. There are affordable labs where someone off the street can go in and get everything from HIV, urine and even blood tests done for a very reasonable cost and not have to go to a doctor first. Check out this one in Pattaya.

Medical Care -- Is it Still Affordable in Thailand?

Membership site now open! Check it out here.

 In one of my videos on You Tube I mentioned the cost of a medical procedure. Some viewers are saying it isn't cheap any more to get medical attention especially at hospitals that are now catering to medical tourism. Well, I was in Pattaya recently and needed to see a doctor and maybe get some medicine. Let's see what the costs were at a 5 star hospital.

Membership site now open! Check it out here.

A lot of cultural differences are why I like living in Thailand. The place and people never cease to amaze me. Sometimes I just shake my head though. When I see what Thais do sometimes, I need to ask myself what is the reasoning behind their behavior. Here is one example.

JC Notices Different Cultural Responses to a Situation on a Train -- What is Acceptable Behavior?

Membership site now open! Check it out here.

Having lived in Southeast Asia so long, I sometimes forget and think that all cultures would respond the same way to everyday situations that present themselves.
Then I remember one of the reasons I live here is because of the way the Southeast Asian culture responds. It isn't a fear based society ye and that was so refreshing when I first encountered it that I decided it was more in line with my own values. Here is an example of what I am talking about. Watch.

Chiang Mai - Very Affordable Lanna Style Apartment with Swimming Pool

Membership site now open! Check it out here.

NOTE: This business is having management issues. So for now it is closed.

 Every so often as I travel around I find something I think is either a good value or something that reminds me why I like living in Thailand. The Thai Lanna culture is one of those things I appreciate. I also love the use of water landscapes and tropical plants. Living around these things makes me feel good and if I can have them around me without spending an arm and a leg that's a bonus. I stumbled across a new apartment building just getting ready to open and it met all this criteria so I wanted to share it with you. For more info and a map check it out here.
