HISTORY GUIDE

Pattaya also known as Fun City is Thailand’s most popular resort only 90 minutes from Bangkok.

Once a sleepy fishing town, Pattaya first boomed as an R&R spot during the Vietnam War and has been a popular tourism destination ever since.

Currently, Pattaya is booming and the opening of the Suvarnabhumi Airport has made visiting easier than ever.

Pattaya is popular not only as a beach resort and for its entertainment, nightlife and shopping, but also for the broad selection of recreational activities it caters for, from golf and horseback riding to bungee jumping, karting and shooting - not to mention a wide variety of watersports such as scuba diving, jet-skiing, sailing, windsurfing and kite surfing.

Pattaya, unlike other beach resorts, shows no respite after sundown, Pattaya’s nightlife is unique and fascinating with Walking Street, South Pattaya in the centre of it all. This is the most popular place to go amongst tourists and expats and you’ll find many go go bars, beer bars, discos, street entertainers and the odd ladyboy.

Food is another one of the highlights of any trip to Pattaya. From giant prawns to spicy som tam salad, there is every imaginable cuisine here. Cajun, Chinese, Indian, Italian, English, French, Vietnamese, German, Russian and more.

Today Pattaya attracts annually more then a million tourists from all over the world. Pattaya provides high standard hotels, restaurants, sports, entertainment and shopping. It really has it all and a whole lot more.

GETTING AROUND GUIDE

THIS MONTH DO NOT DRINK & DRIVE IN THAILAND Drink driving has been a problem in Thailand for a long time and unfortunately one of the places where the problem is particularly serious is in Pattaya.

Driving in the city and surrounding areas in the evenings or at night time it’s likely that you’ll have seen police checks either being setup or in operation.

The new crackdown that has started in the last few weeks is part of a Thailand wide campaign to raise the awareness of the dangers of drink driving.

Previously, as with many traffic offences in Thailand, people had viewed it as something that they could buy their way out of and almost something that wasn’t a serious criminal offence.

One of the main issues that both Thais and foreigners experience is the fact that most people don’t actually know what the legal drink drive limits are.

Having a Thai driving licence for 5 years or more, the legal limit is 50mg of alcohol per 100 millilitres of blood. And if you have your licence less than 5 years, the limit is only 20mg of alcohol for 100 millilitres of blood.

For those people who are found guilty of drink driving the penalties are quite severe. If you are caught driving under the influence of alcohol but without causing injury you will face a fine of between THB5000 and THB20,000, at least a 6 month driving ban and up to one year in prison.

Should you injure someone you will face an automatic prison sentence with the length dependant on the severities of the injury, fines up to THB100,000 and a driving ban. If you cause a death whilst under the influence you could face up to 10 years in prison and a THB200,000 fine. Needless to say, it would pay to get a taxi rather than drink and drive in Thailand.

BAR & RESTAURANT GUIDE

With a wealth of international restaurants offering delicious food, Pattaya is truly the crossroads of cuisine in Asia.

French, Mexican, German, ltalian, Indian, Chinese, Scandinavian, Korean, Japanese and of course, Thai plus many other varieties of restaurant are located within the city. For most visitors to Pattaya the experience of new and interesting dishes is an exciting alternative to the traditional foods available at home. However, along with wonderful Thai dishes, one should sample the culinary delights available from other countries.

Try “Kimji” a type of Korean spicy salad or maybe “sizzling Fajitas” a popular Mexican dish. Also, why not take this opportunity to find new ways of cooking traditional ingredients… there are now several cooking schools around the city where for a nominal fee you can learn to cook local dishes as well as go shopping to local markets and buy the ingredients you will need.

Local specialities include: Tom Yam Gung (spicy prawn soup), Gaeng Kiewan (green spicy curry).

If you like your food “hot” then try some of the food served from the vast number of vending carts across the city.

At these you can sample such delicacies as: Som Tam (spicy salad) or Hoy Tord (fried mussels or oysters with egg) and the amazing variety of seafood.

NEW NORDIC REVIEW

Is New Nordic the New “King of the Hill”?

If you are already a resident of Pattaya, you’re probably already well aware of New Nordic’s many accomplishments.

If you are new to Pattaya however, you’re likely saying to yourself, “who’s New Nordic and what hill?” The short answer to each of the above two thoughts are: Thought No. 1: New Nordic is an amazingly successful property development company located in Pattaya City, Thailand. However, there’s a lot more to New Nordic than meets the eye. I say that because if you were to read the fine print listing on all of New Nordic’s many accomplishments, you’d realize in an instant that New Nordic is in actuality, more like a megaconglomeration of professionally run in house businesses that all somehow fall under the very broad umbrella of property development … but we’ll talk more about that later.

Thought No. 2: As far as “the hill” is concerned, it goes by the name of Pratumnak Hill. Besides being the home of “Big Buddha” and the hill that separates Pattaya Beach from its southern neighbor of Jomtien Beach, it’s also the most exclusive piece of real estate in all of Pattaya City.

How exclusive? Think Soho in the borough of Manhattan in New York City or Kensington and Chelsea in west London or Beverly Hills in Los Angeles, California … that exclusive. In fact it’s so exclusive that even members of the Royal Thai family own residences on Pratamnak Hill.

20

THEPATTAYAGUIDE Feature

New Nordic With over 700 employees, New Nordic has become one of the largest and most successful property developers in all of Pattaya! In addition, New Nordic’s 54 projects, 34 of which are fully completed, 12 of which are in various stages of construction, and a further 8 all of which are in the planning stages and scheduled to be completed in just a few years time, have all been situated on or near Soi 4 and Soi 5 of Pratamnak Hill. In all, New Nordic’s projects, completed and otherwise occupy a staggering 50 rai of land – that’s nearly 20 acres of prime Pratamnak Hill real estate!

The reason why all of New Nordic’s developments have been grouped in a single area of Pratamnak Hill dates back to 2008. That was the year when New Nordic’s Norwegian CEO, Kurt Svendheim took over a failed property development company. Whilst completing the in progress projects that had stagnated while under former management, Kurt had a vision. He dreamed about creating a European city within the heart of Pattaya Beach. During the very short span of 7 years time, he has successfully turned his vision into reality.

In less than a decade, Kurt Svendheim, along with a handpicked team of builders, designers, architects and sales and marketing professionals have literally created a mini-fiefdom built to the highest European standards right in the middle of Pratamnak Hill.

Feature THEPATTAYAGUIDE 21

NEW NORDIC REVIEW

In addition to its vast property holdings, New Nordic has certainly earned the right to boast about its tremendous success. You see, over the years, it’s no secret that numerous property development companies here in Pattaya have come and gone.

Unlike many of their unsuccessful competitors, New Nordic has matured or aged much like a fine wine, into no less than a property development company, a property management company, a real estate company, a hotel management company, a construction company, and a travel and tour agency all rolled into one!

That fact that New Nordic has flourished, while similar firms have withered and died in the wake of the 2007-2008 global financial crises, the 2010 civil unrest caused by the Red Shirt political protests, the military coup of 2014, and the terrorist bombing of Bangkok in 2015, not to mention the devaluation of the Thai baht as a result of Thailand’s underperforming economy is a testament to Kurt Svendheim’s overall capabilities, as well as its commitment to high standards, quality, integrity and dedication.

New Nordics real estate portfolio is currently comprised of hotels, resorts, condominiums, bars and restaurants, as well as a host of other smaller facilities each of which is necessary to make life more comfortable for the Thais, tourists and western expatriates who want to live or play on Pratamnak Hill.

Surely all the above is proof that New Nordic has outperformed all of its competitors. It also qualifies Kurt Svendhein to claim the title “King of the Hill” in respect to making Pattaya City’s Pratamnak Hill a better place to live.

MURPHY’S DARKSIDE REVIEW

Murphy’s Pub has recently opened on the Darkside.

Steve the owner of Murphy’s has moved to East Pattaya and decided to open a family pub and restaurant.

The pub is situated on Soi Khao Noi opposite the Pattaya Hill 2 village and comes complete with a large outside area – including a swimming pool as well as indoor, air conditioned area that is the most popular spot for families.

Although Murphy’s has only been open a few weeks now it is proving to be a popular venue on the darkside offering a really change from many of the other bars and restaurants that are in the area. There is of course a pool table for those looking to shoot a few frames as part of their night out.

When you enter the restaurant you will be welcomed by the very solid number of regulars who have already started to refer to it has their ‘local’.

The menu is pretty good and includes both Western and Thai dishes along with a range of kids meals to cater for absolutely everyone and every taste.

The drinks menu is also good with a range of beers, spirits and cocktails on offer as well kids and soft drinks. The prices of both the food and the drink menu are very reasonable and certainly comparable with many of the other establishments in the area.

Murphy’s Pub Darkside is sure to prove a winner in East Pattaya and is a great place for families to go although groups of friends will not feel out of place or uncomfortable which is a big achievement. A big congratulations must go out to Steve and Gavin who have certainly managed to achieve what they intended and have managed to develop a rather toned version of Murphy’s Law although the old theme still continues ‘Never Goin’ Home’!

HEALTH & FITNESS GUIDE

A healthy lifestyle can be achieved anywhere in the world and Pattaya is certainly one of the most popular places people choose to stay fit and in shape.

Thailand has a tropical climate and is therefore ideal for the pursuit of outdoor activities: volleyball, soccer, sailing plus many more.

However, for and in indoor healthy lifestyle, Pattaya is also among the best and the vast number of 5 star health massage organisations, beauty parlours, plastic surgery clinics, spas and fitness centre mean that Pattaya really is the place to improve your overall health and look.

Many people now choose to partake of the various treatments from facials, to waxing and detox to botox in order to gain that healthier looking body and due to the current price of treatments in many western countries, Thailand has found itself an entire new market in patients arriving for plastic surgery treatment and general medical operations which in their own country would cost much more than locally in Thailand.

SHOPPING GUIDE

Pattaya has numerous large malls, small malls, supermarkets, bazaar-style markets, and thousands of other shops.

Expect to find plenty of clothes shops and coffee shops but do not expect to find variety as most shops are selling the same things. Pattaya actually has a long way to go to catch up with Bangkok for variety and volume of shops but it is trying with several new shopping centres opening in recent years, and there’s more to come.

Bargaining is a way of life here but don’t worry if you don’t know your Thai numbers as most shop keepers will carry a calculator to show the price. As a general rule what ever their first price is, half it and you will be closer to what they are actually willing to sell the item for. If you are not happy then simply walk away as the shop keeper down the street will be selling the same thing.

Try to have some fun when bargaining because if the shop keeper likes you they may give you a better price and never get aggressive, it doesn’t pay.

KOH LARN GUIDE

Koh Larn is a small island in the Gulf of Thailand about 7km off the coast of Pattaya Beach.

The Island is about 4km long and 2km wide and at it is about 180 meters high at the highest point. The terrain is mostly mountainous which is covered in most part with heavy vegetation. Infrastructure is mainly narrow roadways covered with brick pavers. Some of the roadways are very steep and only wide enough for two motorbikes to pass by each other, but most roads are suitable for regular traffic.

Koh Larn has six main beaches and a few smaller beaches for visitors to enjoy.

All the beaches are of white sand and clear blue waters. There are many water sport activities at each of the beaches. There are also many other activities such as parasailing for you to enjoy while visiting Koh Larn. All the beaches have full facilities such as bathrooms and showers.

Then there are the restaurants that serve up delicious fresh catch of the day seafood or just about any other dish you may desire. You can choose to order your meal in the restaurant or straight from your beach lounger. Yes, a day on Koh Larn can be a very relaxing experience, with the gentle sounds of the ocean and without all the noise of the city.

There are many resorts on the island of Koh Larn, they range from budget rooms to luxury accommodations one of the best is Suntosa Resort. While room rates are a little higher on the island than in Pattaya or Jomtien it is well worth the experience of spending the night on the island of Koh Larn. Some people like Koh Larn so much they end up staying there for extended periods like months and years.

BUSINESS SERVICES GUIDE

Thai Business Help established since March 2010, has been helping hundreds of expats and tourists from around the world with all types of business services including visa applications, extensions and renewals.

Respected for offering the best advice when setting up a business in Pattaya, they are renowned for the best value too, just look at their prices. Not only that, they are well known and trusted within the expat community.

All too often, we hear of horror stories of customers who have chosen business service providers who deliberately offer poor advice so they can charge more, high rates and hidden costs, and worse of all, a slow service that takes months. This type of treatment reflects badly on the industry and has a negative impact in the growth of Pattaya as a leading tourist destination.

We have collated industry average prices you should expect to pay ANNUAL AUDIT Should take no more than 2 weeks to complete.

Non-trading: 12-15,000 THB. Trading to 2m: 15-18,000 THB. COMPANY SETUP Should take no more than 3 days to setup.

Registered 1m capital: 13-15,000 THB. Registered 2m capital: 18-20,000 THB. For further advice, we recommend Thai Business Help.

VISA INFORMATION GUIDE

Visas are probably the one thing that causes most confusion in Thailand. It seems that the rules regarding visas change on an almost daily basis and sometimes even depending on who you see or the questions that you ask.

Whilst it is impossible to give any sort of advice when Immigration Officers are acting on a ‘whim’ it is possible to explain what visas are available in Thailand. Below is a simple guide to the general types of Visa that you can get for your stay in Thailand.

VISA ON ARRIVAL This is the visa that is given to you at the airport when you arrive in Thailand.

This is a form of tourist visa that grants you 30 days stay in the Kingdom. This can be extended at immigration for up to a maximum of 30 days.

TOURIST VISA A 60 day Tourist Visa is obtain from a Thai Embassy (outside of Thailand) prior to your travel to the Kingdom. The visa can be single or multi entry. Again it is possible to extend this visa at Immigration although extensions are not always guaranteed.

NON IMMIGRANT VISA This is valid for 90 days and is usually a single entry visa. There are a number of visas in this category although the most common are B (for the purposes of work), ED (for the purpose of education), O (to visit family residing in Thailand) or OA (for a retirement visa). The single entry visa is usually obtained in your home country prior to travel and then will be extended at the Immigration Department once you are in Thailand.

THEPATTAYAGUIDE Visa Information

BUSINESS VISA This is the Non Immigrant B Visa that you will obtain from Immigration.

RETIREMENT VISA To obtain a retirement visa in Thailand you must be over 50 years of age, not working and have THB800,000 in a Thai Bank or an income of THB65,000 per month or combination of the two.

PROPERTY GUIDE

Pattaya is a beach resort with city status, with something for everyone. Year round tropical climate, there are hospitals, schools, shopping malls and supermarkets.

Add in the low cost of living in Pattaya, the friendliness, warmth and hospitality of the Thai people, and this makes Pattaya City an extremely popular choice for a secondary home or retirement The last decade has seen a massive growth in the number of people, particularly from the West, investing in property overseas. Some buy principally as an investment, while others buy a holiday home; and some a permanent residence, having taken the decision to emigrate. Pattaya has become a very popular choice

When it comes to purchasing a property, there is a massive variety of houses and condominiums, in terms of size, price and quality, to choose between, which, in general terms, represent outstanding value for money, particularly when compared to the cost of real estate in the Western world. There are some major difference when buying property in Thailand so it is advisable to take advice from a knowledgeable and trustworthy real estate broker 116 THEPATTAYAGUIDE Property
