Why I choose the Jomtien beach

I choose the Jomtien beach because I can have all I want in this place. If I want to eat excellent Thai food, I can ask my beach mistress and after 15 min I have Tom Yam – spicy and sour soup with shrimps forTHB 100. If my wife wants to drink her favorite Pina Colada – I pay THB20 for cold coconut and THB75 for a small bottle of Thai whisky and she is OK. Three minutes to go to Seven Eleven and one to make a cocktail. I can leave my cameras and computer on the beach without any problems - my beach mistress is very attentive. One-mile walk – and we can talk to my Indian friend about making silk suits for us. I swear with my traveler's honor – we paid $240 for three good suits of Kashmir silk last year! And my son - a crazy teen – has been wearing his so far. There are a lot of speed boats near Jomtien – you can visit Monkey Island or others. There are many other tourists and while my wife was talking about visiting Alcazar Show or Nong Nuch Garden I could visit the Walking Street with my favorite Go-Go bars. It takes ten minutes and costs THB10 (without bargirls). There are many Thai style restaurants, some with nice designe, good menu and low prices. And the major point is that the sea near Jomtien is not very dirty! I can swim there. Or how else I must answer the question – why I sit by the sea.
