    The Ville Jomtien Pool Villa

    Life, Pongpet Mekloy, Published on 20/08/2020

    » Pattaya has been one of the most popular holiday destinations since the end of the lockdown. This property is not in the beach area but for couples, families or groups of friends travelling with their own cars and seeking luxury accommodation with a private swimming pool that doesn't break the bank, it might be a choice worth considering. The place is made up of pool villas of different sizes, from two to six bedrooms. The one I stayed in was good for eight people.

    Where the lotus blossoms

    Life, Pongpet Mekloy, Published on 30/07/2020

    » At the front end of a long wooden boat, I stood up to appreciate the full view of the natural world around me. There weren't as many lotus blossoms to be seen as in my previous visits years ago but the peaceful marshland was still full of life. A variety of plants and animals were still celebrating the life-giving rain that had stopped just a few minutes ago. It's hard to believe that in 2016 this very place became so dry that you could see the cracked soil surface. I hope that will never happen again.

Anyway, thinking about the Olympics takes my thoughts back to Atlanta 1996.
