Scorpion Queen
breaks her own record
The Scorpion Queen has done it again. Kanchana Ketkaew has broken her own
Guinness World Record, this time by living with 5,000 black scorpions for 33
days. The Scorpion Queen beat her own record set six years ago, but not before
having to endure 13 stings from her none-too-friendly insect roommates during
the very long month. In 2002 she spent 32 days with 3,400 scorpions.
On January 24 at Ripley’s Believe It or Not Museum, the Tourism Authority of
Thailand Pattaya, along with Mayor Itthipol Khunplome and hundreds of curious
onlookers and well-wishers welcomed Kanchana out of the glass room after she set
her record. continued | More News

industry could be forgiven for walking around with long faces.

Ali Baba - the Indian mainstay

One of the original Indian restaurants in Pattaya
has been Ali Baba, whose ‘cave’ is upstairs on Pattaya Central Road, about 50

doesn’t need an introduction, it is in itself a landmark.
