Christmas in Pattaya.

[joe552]

I thought I'd started a thread on this topic, but can't find it. So here we go again.

If you're going to be in Pattaya for Christmas, will you maintain the western traditions (stuff the turkeys hole with holly), or have a non-Western day? For years, I've gone to my brother's on Christmas Day, and to my sister on Stephen's Day/Boxing Day. This year, I've decided to stay home. I intend to buy a couple of cheap steaks at Lidl, add a few veg, and not have to be nice to anyone.

It's the first time I'll be alone at Christmas, and I'm looking forward to it. How about you? I know I'm lucky to have a choice, not everyone does.

"Stuffing the turkey's hole with holly" (wtf) is not a Western tradition Joe - its just you who does that !

I've never been in Pattaya during Christmas, but I imagine there would be lots of places attempting to cash in. No doubt some Thai restaurants will be serving what they consider to be traditional Christmas fare in the West - with a bowl of chilli and a bottle of fish sauce on the side!

And, as we know, the Thais love any excuse to party.

So I'm guessing they do Christmas in a big way, especially in tourist areas like Pattaya.

I'll be spending Christmas in Japan, enjoying a typical Japanese Christmas lunch - KFC.

Honestly, that's what we all eat at Christmas in Japan.

I know eating poultry of some sort is traditional at Christmas, but KFC? Goes into the non-traditional bundle.

Ill be doing midnight mass...and then christmas lunch with all the traditional trimmings...yum

[joe552]

latin, I'm surprised about the Mass - maybe you're a priest? Will you have dinner with your long term partner, or family, or with a group of friends?

I had an Indian once on Christmas day - met him in telephone bar, it was fun :-) Ha actually my mother called me up to wish me a happy Christmas and I told her I'd just had an Indian and she launched into a whole "awww that's not you having a nice Christmas" and I thought to myself "if SO fucking IS !" lol. I still smile into myself when she brings it up.

I hope they take those damn decorations down our my visit in late January. Central still had them up in February last year....though our hotel in Krabi a couple of years back was still sporting grubby polystyrene Christmas reindeer in June.

NIrish, nothing wrong with a hot Indian on Christmas day. Then you can have your turkey dinner later.
