My reason to go to Pattaya is always golf. Then maybe go out during the night to pass time. Never aim to go to Pattaya for the gogo bars or beer bars anymore. Lost its appeal for me especially because of its recent over-commercialism!
Limpduckdong - go see a doctor or it's going to eat you alive.
Ok, seriously. Give yourself sometime. You just came back from LOS from 10 days of excessive romp and hump. I think it's your body giving you signal of the abuse that you are putting it through. Get on some good diet (zinc rich) and plenty of rest then see if it will come back to life.
Zen is quite good overall and it's in every major shopping center (ease of convenience). For authentic Japanese food, I'd then recommend Hanako on Sukhumvit 19. or you can always go to Thonglor Soi 13. There is a Japanese village with a whole array of Japanese food there.
Have some friends coming to Thailand and need a car to take them around (6-7 pax) plus a driver. Anyone can recommend a good van service with driver? What would be the average daily rate (including the driver and car)?
Krungthep Kreetha for it's close proximity to the inner city if you don't have the whole day to kill. Tue/Thur are sports days with good rate. Thana City, Suphapreuk, are also not far, just off the elevated expressway on Bangna Trad.
