Pattaya 2011 – Pattaya Beach

Pattaya was one of the earliest tourist developments in Thailand, and to this date has remained as one of the most popular destinations in Asia. Located around 165 km from Bangkok, it is around 1 ½ hour drive from the city.

The main attraction in Pattaya is of course the beach. This 4km beach curves its way from Naklua Road in the North to Buddha Hill in the South. This is also where the famous Pattaya Walking Street is located.

Lots of deck chairs and umbrellas dot the beach. You can just sit around and enjoy the scenery, or get a massage right on the beach.

This is at the Southern end of the beach. Lots of water sports on offer here, and you can also hire a boat to visit the nearby islands.

As Pattaya is very densely developed, this is not the most beautiful stretch of beach in the World. But it is a very interesting location to explore on foot – due to the many hotels, B&Bs, pubs, restaurants, shops and stalls that line the road next to the beach. The numerous sidelanes that lead to Pattaya Sai Song (Pattaya 2nd Road) running parallel to Beach Road are also great places to explore for the countless number of interesting boutique hotels and lodgings.

Happy New 2011 Year from Kosciuszko National Park!

Returned from Kosciuszko National Park yesterday, where I spent a few days and nights backpacking. For a New Years Eve celebration, we stayed near Blue Lake, one of the five glacier lakes in the park, 1997 meters above the sea level, under billions of stars. Photograph above was shot soon after we finished celebrating New Year with Ilya Genkin.

Happy New Year!

Pattaya 2011 – Pattaya Hilton

The brand new Pattaya Hilton just opened its doors end of 2010. If you are a hotel buff like me, you should put this on your must-visit list. This property is truly outstanding and unlike any other Hilton properties I have visited.

Designed by Department of Architecture – an established Thai architectural practice, the architectural and interior style is very imaginative and unique. The moment you enter the lobby your eyes are drawn to the soft fabric sheets lining the entire ceiling. They look like rippling ocean waves, and are accentuated further by concealed lighting and soft movements imparted by the air-conditioning. This clever design theme draw your eyes towards the ocean view at the end of the lobby.

The beautiful reception lobby.

The lobby lounge has some very nice whimsical design touches. Can you spot the big sea creature with its mouth wide open ?

Outside the lounge is a roof deck which offers truly spectacular views of Pattaya Beach. Sitting here with a cool drink enjoying the million dollar view is one of those things which you travel thousands of miles for.

If you are going to Pattaya and don’t mind splashing out on accommodation – make this your first choice. You won’t regret it.

Rome Apartment Villa Rental Parker Villas Roman Holiday

	Rome Apartment Villa Rental Parker Villas Roman Holiday A look inside the amazing apartment villa we rented in Rome for our stay. The apartment, called Roman Holiday is incredibly decorated, has tons of space for the entire family, fully appointed kitchen so we could cook meals every night that we didnt go out, and great for keeping snacks around for the kids. Apartment rentals save a lot of money when traveling with kids so you dont eat out all the time. This apartment was centrally located withing walking distance to most everything and is set right on Piazza Navona, one of the liveliest areas in Rome, a blast for the kids every evening. Highly recommended. More info at ParkerVillas.com	From: travelwithkids Views: 95 1 ratings
