Today’s post marked the first official day of voting. Our strategy was to simply ask for people’s vote, but to also recap all the reasons why you should vote for us. We highlighted all the work we did in the weeks leading up to the start of voting.
Asking people to vote is frustrating. I have no idea how politicians do it. It wears you out!

Hey Explorers,
What an adventure this has been since the finalists announcement earlier this month! Since we received word that we were heading to Pattaya it’s been a whirlwind. We received our flight information today and are confirming our itinerary tonight. If you missed the opportunity to read about our trip planning, you can check out our “Must-See” Attractions Game here and our “Optional” Attractions Poll here.
With less than 1 week left until we depart, we are making our final arrangements, packing our bags and preparing to depart. At each step of the process we’ve worked hard to include you as part of our trip. Readers such as yourself submitted names for our team. And we’ve had the pleasure of chatting with many of you in real-time (find out how here).
When our blogging assignment starts next week, we’ll be the only pair out of the 5 that has never been to Thailand before. You’ll be watching the reactions of first-time travelers to the country. We hope you enjoyed watching us practice our Thai here. Finally, as shared as recently as yesterday, while we are in Thailand we’re going to answer the questions you have about the country and it’s people and culture.
We’ve had so much fun meeting you and taking you along with us on our adventure to Pattaya. Voting official starts today. If you’ve enjoyed our posts, please consider voting for the City of Pattaya and for Ben and Brian every 24 hours from now until January 8th to be your Ultimate Thailand Explorers. Voters are eligible for prizes. You can vote by clicking the voting link on the header above. You can also connect with us on our social media networks on the bottom-right corner of this page. We love traveling and sharing it with all of you is even better. Thank you for your continued support.
We’ll see you out there!
