5 Bangkok Golf Driving Ranges

Given that there are many golf holidaymakers in Bangkok, there are bound to be some staying at a hotel in the city center who wants to just get out to a range to hit some balls. Here are a five of my favorite ranges where any Bangkok golfer can get their game on without leaving the city.

1. All-Star Golf Complex
A popular one-stop destination for Bangkok golfers, All-Star has retail golf equipment shops, short-game practice facilities and a quality long-distance driving range with new Srixon golf balls. This is the place where Bangkok locals go to hone their game and try out the latest models of equipment.

2. 42 Tee Off
A short walk from the Prakanong BTS, this two-story driving range is the place to practice for those staying in the any of the popular Sukhumvit area hotels. Insider tip: Go before noon or after 5PM as hitting into direct sunlight in the afternoon makes for very hot practice sessions and can be literally blinding when tracking your balls in the sun.

3. 247 Yard Driving Range
This is the place to practice for those who stating in the Ratchadapisek area. The 247 range is open-air facility with 40 driving bays on the grounds of the Chaophrya Park Hotel. The range is known for its cheery staff and even offers Thai massage for those who like to combine some golf practice with some relaxation. The hitting area is narrow, but presumably that just helps to hone your fairway game. The restaurant serves some very good Thai dishes at prices of around US$3 per plate! 

4. RCA Driving Range
Proving there is more than one way to hit the clubs, RCA's two-storey driving complex is in one of Bangkok's most infamous nightlife zones, and is popular for its central location. Go in the evening, hit some balls and then pop into one of the many trendy clubs just outside and see how local Thais party.

5. Dusit Thani Hotel
Weird, but true! A 50 yard mini-driving range sits atop the Dusit Thani Bangkok smack in the center of Bangkok. While the short length may not be for everyone if you are staying at a Silom hotel and want to hit a few balls it is good to know you can do so in less than 10 minutes.  Good for honing ones short game.
Well now that you know what's available in Bangkok why not get out and hit some balls in between golf games.

Jazz Age Lawn Party

This weekend, Alex, Toby and I took the ferry over to the Jazz Age Lawn Party on Governor's Island.
A jazz band played old-timey tunes, and there was a tug-of-war, pie contest and Charleston lessons.
People dressed up in fabulous 1920's ensembles--lots of pearls, suspenders and straw hats. (I, of course, wore a nursing shirt:)
Toby mingled with the dapper crowd.
And this girl wore the most fabulous swimsuit (which she had made herself). Yowza!

It was a wonderful day! See more photos here. xoxo

Mayor Kunplome's 14 urgent projects for Pattaya

As part of the Mayor's 'Let's Balance Up Pattaya' strategy, the following projects have been classified as urgent:

For sure some of the projects fall in to the 'nice to have' category so they could be easily pushed to the end of the queue. For sure crime, water supply, flood prevention, traffic flow and garbage collection are areas for immediate attention. Much will depend on the budget assigned to Pattaya by the government.

Quotes u might like

-Live, learn, crash and burn.

-When you can stop, you don't want to. When you want to stop, you can't. 

-The woods are lovely, dark, and deep, 

But I have promises to keep, 

And miles to go before I sleep, 

And miles to go before I sleep.

-The person you end up needing the most is the person you swore you never wanted in the first place.

-It's either a black eye or a love bite.

-If you don’t make things happen, things will happen to you.

-I'm thinking of leaving this town before it kills me. 

-I don’t need to fight to prove I’m right. 

-hearts are often broken by words left unspoken."

-For long you live and high you fly

and smiles you'll give and tears you'll cry

and all that you touch and all that you see

is all your life will ever be.

-Don’t feel sorry for her, she doesn’t want your pity.

Don’t love her, she has better things to do.

Don’t waste your time getting close, she will only move further away.

At least that’s what she wants you to think, but after awhile lies have a funny way of becoming truth.

-“Was it love? Or was it the idea of being in love?

-"I believe in the ugly truth rather than the beautiful lie." 

-Should I smile because we're friends, or cry because that's all we'll ever be?

-"Sometimes I find my head spinning. Not because of alcohol, but because of my life."

-That’s the problem with us. We’re both stubborn asses and always want to get our way. We both hate to be wrong and love to be right. But that’s the thing about love. No matter what happens, we always come back for each other, one more time.

-After all, computers crash, people die, relationships fall apart. The best we can do is breath and reboot.

-If you love and get hurt, love more. If you love more and hurt more, love even more. If you love even more and get hurt even more, love some more until it hurts no more..

-Every saint has a past and every sinner has a future.

Patong Beach Travel

Patong Beach

Patong Beach (Thai หาดป่าตอง) refers to a beach on Phuket's west coast, and to the town adjoining it. It is the main tourist resort in Phuket. It also contains an important center of Phuket's nightlife and is the center of inexpensive shopping on the island. The beach became popular with Western tourists, especially Europeans, in the late 1980s. Numerous large hotels and chain hotels are located there.

Patong Beach is as equally famous for its nightlife as also the 3.5-kilometer beach that runs the entire length of Patong’s western side. Nightlife is centered on two main areas Bangla Road and 'Paradise Complex', with Bangla Road being predominantly straight and Paradise Complex being predominantly gay. Both roads are lined with many themed bars, discotheques, and go go bars. Prostitution is culturally acceptable, especially on Bangla Road where there are many older Western men drinking with much younger Thai women and transvestites. Most discos in Patong charge a 100 baht admission fee but rather than being a cover charge, this is actually a drink minimum since you get a voucher and most clubs charge 100 baht for almost all drinks.

On December 26, 2004, Patong Beach along with many other areas along the western coast of Phuket and Thailand were struck by a tsunami caused by the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake. The wave caused a great deal of destruction to the waterfront of the beach and immediately inland, and many people were killed there. Patong was one of the worst affected areas of Phuket, although the destruction was not nearly as bad as nearby in Khao Lak.
