Top 10 shopping locations in Pattaya.
Here is my “top ten” with a short explanation where appropriate. I’ve lived in Pattaya for ten years this year… and I’ve done my fair share of shopping believe me! It hasn’t always been a good shopping experience but it certainly has got better in the last few years. With the new wave of destination […]
Expat Life – how it’s happens
Living as, and being an expat, has been on my mind of late. How did we all get here? Was it planned? Or did it just happen? Usually, it’s the male half of the couple that brings about the move, the female has to follow and adapt. It’s a challenge and we all want something […]
Festival Du Feminin
A transformative journey by women for women. The weekend of 15/16th March was an interesting one. One full of new experiences.

A day in Phrae for 100B
Being an expat in Thailand we have a finely tuned ability to find the most expensive options available to us. While embellishing in the excellent expat lifestyle might be fun, you might also enjoy the more simple experiences. You might find it hard to believe but the old inexpensive Thailand that many flock here for […]
Able the disabled
Having a child that is disabled or visually impaired, suffering from autism or has any other medical condition that classifies he or she as not “normal”, is probably the most painful thing one can experience as a parent. You can’t change things, and you have to look for ways to make life easier and simpler. In recent […]
Breast cancer and the women of Pattaya
We all know what breast cancer is and all of us knows someone that’s either survived it or has, sadly died from it. It’s a cancer that can be fought if caught in the early stages. Yet so many women, especially here in Thailand, die needlessly because of it every day. Why? Because […]
Tamar Centre empowering the women of Pattaya
Pattaya may not seem like a place that particularly empowers women. Far from it, bars and clubs are full of scantily clad women, whose purpose is to serve men. What’s empowering about that? It’s totally degrading and humiliating. It wipes out any self-esteem and self-worth they have. It’s a sad existence. These women have no choice, as […]
