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 TAXI FROM BANGKOK TO PATTAYA It doesn’t matter where we come from in the World the chances are that when we first arrive you will fly into Suvarnabhumi Airport in Bangkok.

This is usually after a long flight and for those travelling onwards to Pattaya the last thing that we want is any problems at the airport. Thankfully, the taxi service that is available from the airport is extremely efficient with a desk arranging taxis on your behalf. The fare is agreed prior to travel and paid directly to the taxi driver. Should you wish to go on the Expressway, which is highly recommended you will pay the toll in addition.

Generally, the journey from the airport takes 90 minutes depending on the traffic. The price will again vary depending on where you are staying but between 1,200 to 1,500 THB would be reasonable.

The journey will take you straight out of Bangkok and you will get to see limited parts of the local countryside in the outlying areas of Bangkok and close to Chonburi. This is possibly not the most picturesque but is probably very different what you have been used to in your home country.

Obviously some people will choose to stay in the capital Bangkok first and the then travel down to Pattaya. Most people to tend to stay in the Sukhumvit area or Silom area of the capital. Assuming that you are staying in a hotel, the hotels will easily be able to find you a suitable taxi service to take you down to Bangkok. The rates charged will be very similar to that charged from the airport. The time that this journey takes will be very much dependant on how quickly you can get out of Bangkok with congestion certainly being an issue.

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.

RESTAURANT OSCAR REVIEW

You will not find better value for money food and wine anywhere in Pattaya and Jomtien!

Located in a peaceful location on Soi Welcome, just off Jomtien Beach Road, Restaurant Oscar has ample parking spaces and is widely known for its delectable dishes, combining international cuisine with a Mediterranean style, alongside creamy and cheesy sauces created in a Scandinavian style.

There is something for all tastes, budgets and palates at Oscar’s. Oscar’s serves mouthwatering specialties on a daily basis, beautifully presented and to tantalize your taste buds. Breakfast is also served every day from 9am.

Although Oscar’s is known as a fine-dining restaurant in food terms, the prices are set so everyone can come and have a memorable gastronomic experience. The Swedish chef is dedicated to finding the tastiest and freshest local and imported produce, combining a varied amount of seasonal menus that are a dream to sample.

The atmosphere at Oscar’s is modern, spacious and cozy with an airconditioned interior dining room within a welcoming and friendly environment.

The restaurant’s hosts, Magnus and Joy, are dedicated to providing you with the most professional and attentive service at all times. Relax in the indoor dining space or sit back on the outdoor terrace with a drink in hand. The restaurant is unpretentious and relaxed, where you can feel at home in flipflops or high heels.

When you seek a special dining experience in Pattaya where you can enjoy exceptional food for a price that’s right, not many establishments can match 20

THE BLUE OLIVE REVIEW

The Blue Olive is a modern Mediterranean restaurant located on Threpprasit Soi 8, between Jomtien and South Pattaya.

The restaurant prides itself on using only the finest possible produce including the meats and of course the seafood. This is something they can do relatively easily as they also owns the Swiss Canadian Meat Stuff Company that is actually located next door. This means that you can sample superb Mediterranean foods from countries such as Spain, Italy, France and Greece.

Of course if you are looking for some variety you could also try dishes from Canada, Mexico and of course Thailand.

The interior of the restaurant is quite elegant although some people may say rustic and is not too over the top in a manner that can make some people feel a little uncomfortable. The walls are made from brick and wood and the open kitchen gives diners the opportunity to see the chefs in action which is always good to see and shows that nothing is being hidden away. Ray makes his way around the tables advising guests on the menu and checking that everything is running smoothly. He is a ‘hands on’ type of owner and ensures that the standards don’t slip.

The restaurant is open from 11am until 2pm for the lunch time menu and from 4pm until late for the evening/dinner menu. Everyone is welcome and the restaurant can cater for diners eating on their own, as a couple or perhaps there is a group of you who are looking to enjoy an extravagant banquet – whatever you want the restaurant will be more than happy to oblige.

Overall the service is excellent, the food is superb and very reasonably priced – that is not to say that it is cheap but you pay for quality.

THEPATTAYAGUIDE Feature

There is an extensive drinks menu that compliments the food and matches your mood or the occasion. The whole experience is something that you will enjoy and will leave you walking away feeling satisfied and relaxed.

If Mediterranean food is your thing, then this is certainly a place to be recommended and no doubt you will come back again and again.

New Nordic Group Jomtien | Pattaya | Thailand www.newnordicgroup.com

Building a community Kurt Svendheim is the CEO and main driving force behind the hugely successful New Nordic Group which can be found in the prestigious Pratamnak area of Pattaya. The projects are all focused around the Pratamnak Soi 4 area and you can’t fail to be impressed by the number of buildings that have both been completed and that are under construction – not to mention all the ones that are planned and in the pipeline for the future. It seems like the whole area is a sea of orange – the colour best associated with the Group as all the properties and members of staff can be seen to be sporting orange.

The New Nordic Group with Kurt Svendheim at the helm has already completed projects 35 with a new project completed around every two months to keep up with the demand for their properties especially with the 10% guaranteed rental returns that are on offer and the buyback offers that are proving to be extremely popular with investors who are looking for safe returns that are far greater than those offered by the banks.

It appears that the Group have found the secret formula that many of the other developers in the city have been striving for. The fact that they have and are continuing to complete projects at such a rate is a real credit to Kurt Svendheim and his team – especially when you consider that some of the other developers in the city have not completed projects in the last few years whilst at the same time launching huge advertising campaigns and hosting elaborate launch parties.

New Nordic Group Jomtien | Pattaya | Thailand www.newnordicgroup.com

It fair to say that Mr. Svendheim has preferred to stay out of the limelight in the past preferring to let is properties do the talking but it seems unfair that his own personal efforts should go largely unrecognized when he has been the catalyst behind everything that the New Nordic Group has achieved. For over 5 years the Group have offered the guaranteed rental returns and this scheme has been attempted to be copied by many others in the city without these parties having the necessary infrastructure and resources to back up their own schemes which has often resulted in failure.

The infrastructure behind the New Nordic Group is something that sets it apart from many of the other developers in the city.

In reality Kurt Svendheim is at the heart of everything that takes place within New Nordic. The whole concept is his dream and he has gone about building this dream offering attractive deals for investors and therefore maintaining cash flow and investment. It is without doubt that it is this personal backing that gives many investors the confidence to go out and buy at New Nordic again and again.

As the whole village continues to grow and develop there is a lot to be excited about. New shops, bars and restaurants are opening all the time often under the well known Pew banner and this is attracting customers to come to the project from outside of the New Nordic complexes. It seems that wherever you go in the Soi 4 area you see swarms of workers actively building and renovating the projects with projects consistently being completed on time or even ahead of schedule.

For anyone who is looking to invest money in property then there really is no better option on the market at present than the New Nordic projects. The tried and tested approach that Kurt Svendheim has adopted brings continued success and excellent returns for investors. Indeed most of the investors who buy in the new projects have already purchased properties in other buildings and have been delighted with the returns that they have been getting not to mention the quality of the product that they are supplying.

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

VISA INFORMATION GUIDE

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.

INSURANCE GUIDE

When you drop a quarter into a slot machine, you know that your chances of winning are pretty slim.

But risking a quarter (or perhaps much more than a quarter) may be worth it to you if the potential payoff is great enough. Insurance is a lot like that. You pay premiums not because you expect to die today, get into a car accident next week, or lose your home in a fire next month, but because the peace of mind it offers and the financial protection it could provide are worth it. You don’t have to bear the risk of financial loss alone. Insurance is all about risk and financial protection.

Macallan Insurance Brokers know how important it is to have the peace of mind knowing that you, your family and all your possessions are fully protected. For almost 30 years Jack and his team have made sure that this has been the case by providing the professional services.

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
