Archive: Pattaya is Pronounced

From the Ultimate Thailand Explorers Pattaya Blog Archive [originally published 27 November 2009].

What started as a small mistake quickly became a signature characteristic of Ultimate Thailand Explorers Ben and Brian. In our application video we mispronounced the city we were applying too. It was made clear to us on several occasions. And each time we tried to correct ourselves, it got worse.

It’s tough trying to guess how to pronounce something you’ve never heard before. Where does the accent do? Are the vowels hard or soft? Eventually we got it and when we did, I put it out on twitter. That’s what today’s post is all about.

Archive: What do You Think of Our Itinerary?

From the Ultimate Thailand Explorers Pattaya Blog Archive [originally published 4 December 2009].

After much deliberation we had finally solidified our itinerary. It was jam-packed. It also changed multiple times once we arrived in Thailand and even on the fly to accommodate new additions and meetings. Knowing where you could go is exciting. Doing it is even better.

Coming soon…where we actually went.

Did you know I also have a Facebook Fan Page? You can find it here.

Archive: YOU Pick Where You Want us to Go!

From the Ultimate Thailand Explorers Pattaya Blog Archive [originally published 25 November 2009].

In today’s post, we offered our readers the opportunity to decide which “optional attractions” we would visit by hosting a TwitPoll. Whatever interested them the most would be what we would do. While the poll is now closed the winner was Walking Street. As it turned out, we did everything on the list but the Stone Park, Bottle Museum and Go Kart Park.

On having readers select our optional activities, one reader said, “Very clever gentlemen. This is a nice way to involve people in your journey.” And that’s what it was all about. Involving our fans in our experience.

Archive: The Thai Alangkarn Theater

I thought I would finish out the week with another post from the Ultimate Thailand Explorers Archive. Today’s post is from the Thai Alangkarn Theater [originally published 20/12/09]. A cultural show on a grand scale. It’s a must see for anyone to Pattaya.

Have a great weekend and do something great!

Hey Explorers,

We’re going to come right out and say it, you should see the “Thai Extravaganza Show” at the Thai Alangkarn Theater. “What is it,” you may be asking? It’s everything. It’s music, dance, storytelling, arial acrobatics, special effects, pyrotechnics, audience participation and pure magic. It bills itself as “The Extravaganza Show” and it certainly lives up to it’s name.
