The ‘Queen Vic’, as its many customers affectionately know it, just had its first birthday. On November 5, owner Vic King and manager Bert Elson welcomed Mayor Pairat Suttithamrongsawat and other guests to their 1st anniversary party.

Mayor Pairat Suttithamrongsawat cuts the ceremonial ribbon to officially get the “Queen Vic’s” first birthday party underway, as the affable Victor King looks on.

Owner Victor said Queen Victoria Inn is the perfect spot in Pattaya for entertainment and relaxation. Visitors can choose to simply relax with a glass of beer, shoot some pool, or play a game of darts. The Queen Victoria also had a good menu with lots to choose from and diners love the friendly atmosphere. “Customers can order their meals to their rooms with our room delivery service,” said Vic.

Mayor Pairat said it was good to have a large variety of accommodations for tourists in Pattaya. He also congratulated the owner and the management team of the Queen Victoria for having completed one year in operation.

Queen Victoria Inn is situated in Soi 6, Pattaya Second Road. The Queen Victoria Pub on the first floor has a touch of old English pub decor which makes it unique in Pattaya. Rooms for rent on the upper floors create a mix of European and Thai atmosphere.

Peace Beauty Salon presents new hairstyles underlining comfort and liveliness

Suchada Tupchai

Alongkorn Pangsawat, or ‘Buen’, is a young, talented and energetic hairdresser and he’s finally returned to Pattaya. He recently re-opened his new salon on Pattaya Third Road.

Alongkorn Pangsawat is back in Pattaya.

Buen left the city to open a shop in Bangkok and another in Chiang Mai. Now he is back with a new concept of decoration; a brilliant mixture of furniture and wall coloring consisting of light green, soft orange and bright yellow to easily catch people’s attention.

Prizes from the 5th APHCA World Beauty Art Olympic and Kookmin Beauty Art Festival in Korea spoke well for this talented and very modern hairdresser and his extraordinary hand and scissor work.

The shop was packed even though it was only 2 weeks after the opening. Buen said he traveled around to gather experience and new ideas to apply to his work but was very glad to be back in Pattaya. “Customers must be most satisfied with my cutting,” Buen said.

As a demonstration he showed off the magic blade that he put on his fingers while performing his talent. He said only very skilled hair cutters can use this technique.

Buen said he wants to implement the concept of friendly, fast, and high quality-oriented atmosphere in his salon. He added that he is planning to gather a group of his friends in the salon business to organize a charity contribution to give back something to society.

Peace Beauty Salon is open from 10.00 a.m. till 11:00 p.m.
