From the Ultimate Thailand Explorers Pattaya Blog Archive [originally published 23 November 2009].

While we were preparing for our trip to Pattaya, we wanted to continue focusing on connecting with our readers. Since we were spending every waking hour on the internet, we thought of creating a Skype account to chat with our followers. Several people added us to their contact list, but we never actually ended up chatting with anyone. Maybe it was the time difference in Thailand, or maybe we were just ships passing in the night. Whatever the reason, we received positive feedback on our use of technology.

I may not log on to the Thailand Skype account today, but I do have a Skype username for this site. It’s adventureswithben. If you’d ever like to connect with me, add me to your contact list! There’s another way you can connect too: Facebook. If you’d like to stay up-to-date on my adventures in South Africa, become a fan of adventureswithben.com on Facebook here.

Hey Explorers,

Our last post may have been a few days ago, but that doesn’t mean we haven’t been hard at work preparing to take you to Pattaya. After the excitement of our selection came the reality of the amount of work we need to prepare for in order to successfully promote Pattaya. We are really excited to announce our most recent initiative right here, right now!

Throughout the application and semi-finalist portions of the competition we have loved reading your comments and hearing your feedback. We think that, more than anything, has been the most touching piece of this competition – meeting fans of Thailand and travel.

We asked ourselves, what else could we do to “kick it up a notch”? Watch this video to find out!

So, what do you think? Cool stuff ‘eh?

As you heard, we’ll be blogging before, during and after the Ultimate Thailand Explorers competition. In fact, chances are, when we aren’t working, sleeping or eating, we’re probably at our computers. And each time we’re on the computer we’ll have our chat software up and running – ready for you to share a travel tip, suggest a local attraction in Pattaya or make a recommendation on a favorite Thai dish we should try. Don’t know what to talk about, a little shy? That’s okay, just simply say hello and we’ll start from there. We’d love to meet you!

Our Screen Names are as follows:

Skype: benandbrianthai

AOL IM: benandbrianthai

Our mission throughout this competition is to bring you as close to Pattaya as possible, and this is just another way we are bringing that vision to life.

Don’t forget, you can connect with us on Facebook and Twitter using the links on the bottom-right hand corner of your screen.

We’ll see you out there!
