Fang Lagoon Homestay for Men — Update

Sawadee Khrap

Recently I have gotten a lot of requests and inquires as to the status of “Fang lagoon Homestay for Men” that I featured posted several years ago.  So I tried to contact them to find out.

I just got off the phone with “May” , owner of Fang lagoon Homestay, he told me that he has been completely remodeling the farm  – going to a fully organic farm ( plants, herbs, spices and so on) and will hopefully re-open with a brand new facility next year.   He is waiting until the new plants and trees have grown up a bit before he constructs a new lodge ( huts)  for visitors.  He said he will keep in contact with the blog and I will post any new information about the new-opening as soon as he releases it.   You can also do a search for “Fang” or “Homestay” on this blog for earlier posts.

If you would like to personally stay in contact with May – send me a comment on this post with your email address and I will forward it to him.

Update from May Dated 4/25/15 Thank you very much for interesting in Fang Lagoon Homestay and Organic Farm,
Hope we can re-open again before Christmas 2015..
All detail about us will inform you again..
or you can contact us via

Mr.May Fang lagoon

It’s LOW SEASON — No Shit

Sawadee Khrap

20140930_143305Here’s a shot at 2:30 today, Tuesday 30th down Jomtien Beach area walkway – if you look very, very, very far in the distance you may be able to just make out “Ted” on his daily walk with hands behind his back. – That is how slow it is around here lately.  This is the worse it has ever been – by everyone I’ve talked to  – NEVER this bad.

But wait  – just posted in the ThaiVisa.com newsletter is a new article with important information being mulled over to advance tourism –wrist bands   “Wrist Bands for Tourists”


Now this is a novel approach – destined to stand out as the remedy of the year.  But you need to read the article yourself. – Love the responses too.

Lakeland Water Cable Ski–Pattaya

Sawadee Khrap

As I have always said – Photography is the only hobby you can take to any other hobby and have a great time.              He went water skiing, I went shooting. _MG_0342 


I have no desire to try Cable Water Skiing, yet I spent a great 2 hrs. with a friend, Dan, at Lakeland.  Located off Sukhumvit Hwy, between Soi 98 and Chaiyaphruek 2 Rd. – easy to get to and offers an exciting day for all._MG_0555-Edit

Mimosa–Pattaya

Sawadee Khrap

Looking for a new attraction, Mimosa, this one was new for me and I will definitely IMG_0766go back – 50 Baht entrance fee with free 1 hour show at 5, 6:30, 7:45 and 9 PM.  WHAT A VALUE.  EXCELLENT, clean, large, great staff and a WONDERFUL show – and did I say “all boys”.   I IMG_0742only saw the last half of the 6:30 show and was I was very, very impressed.  I am planning on a return trip to photograph (maybe next Monday) the buildings during the day and to catch the 5 and IMG_0814IMG_08307:45 shows – I was told that they were different – I’ll make a slideshow for later posting.

Alcazar – Pattaya 2012

Sawadee Khrap

Went to see Alcazar Cabaret show last night – 600 Baht  2 hour show.  _MG_1994The place was packed but Dana managed to get us great seats exactly in the middle of the audience.  I sat on the row end so had a great view point.  Here is a

***** SLIDESHOW *****

If you click on the slideshow – be patient -  It contains 174 photos so it will take a long time to view.

_MG_2068

 

NOTE:      But I do have to tell you that I believe the “Venue” in Jontiem Complex is a much better money value.  This show was a hour long and had a huge stage and many performers – yet the Venue with a stage 1/6th the size and half the dancers puts on a two-hour show every night – changing every week and it will only set you back the price of a drink – water  120 Baht.     To me that’s a much better buy and the performances are just as professional.

But don’t get me wrong,  I also think you should go to see the Alcazar show too – just for the splendor and shear size and color, lighting and sound  -  truly amazing.
