Thai restaurants, nightclubs and massage

This was first published at http://www.thailandholidayhomes.co.uk.

International and Thai restaurants, humble street stalls, nightclubs, discotheques, beer and go-go bars are plentiful. Thai body and foot massage is a relaxing option to the hectic lifestyle from around 250 baht an hour it's not to be missed. Shopping Malls like Mikes Mall and The Royal Plaza along the beach road offer an amazing array of products from ice cream to designer clothing and bags at very sensible prices, open until 11pm as well as live markets giving you plentiful opportunity to empty your credit card accounts. First second and third roads are filled with shops and carts selling their wares of every description and amazing prices - be prepared to barter, its custom, light hearted and fun except for the fixed price shops of course.

Had enough shopping then take a stroll along the floodlit beaches of Pattaya or Jomtien and cool those feet off in the warm sea or take a cool shower and get ready for the night ahead.

Thailand evening and night activities

The evenings activities start at around 8pm, the heats turned up around 10pm, restaurants and bars are open earlier and Pattaya and Jomtien go on until dawn. The center of activity in Pattaya is undoubtedly "Walking Street" just a ten minute ride from Jomtien by baht bus or taxi, everyone who is in the area will visit the famous Walking Street for a trip or two - some hardly ever leave! Walking Street is a neon extravaganza with bars and restaurants, the seafood restaurants perched on stilts out into the bay. After 6.30pm Walking Street is pedestrianised but as the night goes on its very busy.

I think it is more likely a bit of spam designed to attract hits through certain key phrases and attached links (which are not operable on our site anyway). Notice the 'bolded' words and phrases. Thes can help attract search engine hits I believe when the spiders latch onto these. Not sure, but maybe Mo will fill us in on this stuff. Next time I'll just delete it if there is no meat to the article. This article says nothing and adds nothing really.

You know when Marchel Duchamp put a urinal in an art gallery and Warhol copied a soup tin and Leichstenstein ripped off a comic book panel... The found object placed in an art gallery becomes a work of art (according to art historians, curators and critics at least)... Can this work with copywriting on a short story site? Clearly the author of this piece believes it can... Imagine if the short stories that became most admired were actually those that looked least like short stories and more like pieces of copy from a middlebrow travel brochure. Maybe we'd be at the cutting edge of a whole new movement in literature... Maybe greg34 would care to give us his take - on the other hand he might be one of those artists who prefers to let the work speak for itself.

"Maybe greg34 would care to give us his take - on the other hand he might be one of those artists who prefers to let the work speak for itself."

This entire thread including the above quote functions nicely as evidence of our niceness but does not alter the fact that this 'submission' was nothing more than highly suspicious most probably spam junk that should never have been published in the first place. And how much damage has been done? How many new readers tuned in and punched up this submission to see what all the Thaiandstories.com fuss was about and came away unimpressed?

Someone should send me by surface mail a nice big medal to pin on my chest for not complaining when this fraud first appeared. No, it is not a short story. No, it is not a vignette. No, it is not surreal or clever or artistic or cutting edge impressionistic art. A computer could have cut and pasted together this meaningless pastiche. Junk.
