I've watched the YouTube video of last year's St Patrick's Day in Pattaya, and it looked reasonable enough. I'm Irish but I'm not really that bothered about the festivities to be honest. I just like the idea of my son having some contact with his Irish roots. My question then is if the Pattaya parade will be entertaining enough for a child under 5. Are there any additional activities that kids might enjoy?

I live in Bangkok, but I don't mind driving down tomorrow if my son's likely to enjoy himself. I suppose this question might be best answered by someone who went to last year's parade in Pattaya, but I welcome all replies - I hope I don't regret saying that

I just thought that I’d share my experiences of learning Muay Thai. I’m hoping that it might inspire other older people to give it a go. I had wanted to learn Muay Thai for years, but I worried that I was too old. I waited until I'd almost hit forty before attending my first Muay Thai class here in Bangkok. I’ve now been training for almost 2 years and I love it. It has been such a wonderful journey, and it has tested me in ways I couldn’t have imagined.

Muay Thai is challenging both physically and mentally, but it is this that makes it so rewarding. It only takes a couple of months to become cardiovascular fit enough to easily manage a class. The gyms here are quite laid back, and they are not going to make people do anything they want to do. I started off slowly but within a year I was training the same level as everyone else. I even went full-time for a couple of months last year. I had hoped to fight, but I was unlucky and picked up too many injuries.

When I first began training I  worried that age would prevent me from getting in good enough physical shape, but that wasn’t the problem at all. The real issue for us older guys is that it tends to take us a bit longer to recover from injuries. This is not a problem so long as we take it easy. They say that we reach the peak of our physical fitness in our late teens, but I hit the peak of my fitness last year. At the moment I’m training hard to get back to that level.

What I’m trying to say here (badly) is that anyone who is interested in learning Muay Thai should not allow age to put them off. There are sixty year olds who have taken up the training, and they love it too. Those of us who have already hit middle age have probably missed out on our chance to turn pro, but there is more to martial arts than that. It is relatively cheap to learn Muay Thai in Thailand, and those of us who live here have a great opportunity.

I followed the instructions hereand I was able to improve my wifi signal.
They used a beer can, but I found that a pepsi can works perfectly well too
I've had a problem for years with my wifi signal not reaching certain parts of the house, but this method has improved things for me.
