The Grand Pattaya International Music Festival of 2008 has been postponed owing to the 100 days of mourning for Her Royal Highness Galyani.
The festival is being organized by the Tourism Authority of Thailand in conjunction with Pattaya City and had been scheduled for March 14 to 16.
Chaiwat Charoensuk, director of the TAT Central Region 3 Office, in an exclusive interview with Pattaya Mail, said the event would now be staged in June, although a firm date has yet to be set.
Chaiwat said that June is a low period for Pattaya tourism, and the festival could help to generate visitor arrivals if it is properly promoted.
“If top singers from abroad are invited, then that will attract foreign tourists as well,” he said. “Regarding Thai attendees, most of them are students and we believe that moving the event to the low season will not have any substantial downward effect on visitors but could in fact stimulate tourism during that period.” [via Pattaya Mail]

- The 3rd Road end of Soi Chaiyapoon (near X-Zyte) has gone through a bit of a transformation. That's the bars not the road! A good number of the bars are boy bars but not gay boy bars. Boy bars for girls who want p4p company. As I walked up the soi the other night, two Thai ladies rushed from their car and into one of the bars with their faces hidden behind their handbags so they couldn't be snapped by the invisible paparazzi. I'd read it was a popular service in Japan so I guess there's no reason it shouldn't be popular here too. The next time your wife goes out with her friends, check it's not to Soi Chaiyapoon. The amusing thing was the hairdressers in the soi are doing a roaring trade but it's not with Thai girls, it's with young Thai guys wanting to look their best for the night ahead.

- Crazy Gadgets For Your Porcelain Throne - One of the best places where you can do some deep thinking and even a little meditation, is your throne room. Now I’m not talking about castles, I’m talking about your porcelain throne. Let’s face it, most of us while on our porcelain throne going about our business, are either reading or contemplating the mysteries of life. Since the toilet is such an important part of our well-being, it would be a good idea to make it as relaxing as possible.
Aside from having proper ventilation, you’ll need a few more things. What am I talking about? I’m talking about toilet gadgets. Here are a few gadgets that are guaranteed to give your throne room a new vibe.
1. Talking Toilet Paper Holder - Sometimes we get so engrossed with our meditation we get a little absent-minded. This holder will let you record your own voice message like “Please remain seated during the performance.” to remind us heh.
2. Potty Putter - Don’t feel like reading? Need some help relaxing? How about some golf? Comes with a “Do Not Disturb” sign.
3. Sudoku Toilet Paper - Run out of crossword puzzles? This should help.
4. Fish ‘n Flush - What could be more relaxing than watching fish swim around the aquarium?
