In need of inspiration for a romantic rendezvous?
Love it or Hate it, it’s here to stay.
February 14, the day when even the most unromantic folk get all soft and sentimental, a day some find difficult and I can understand that. However, any day that turns the focus to a positive and celebrates LOVE is ok in my book.
The custom actually dates back to the 5th century and a Christian martyr although has its origins in an ancient and pre-Roman festival called Lupercalia. (Interesting? Not so much)
Anyhow, it’s certainly a day when Moolah’ is spent and spent in excess. In the UK, alone, an estimated £503m is spent on cards, gifts, flowers… on Valentine’s Day.
An eye-watering statistic for sure, however not one to be pessimistic Valentine’s is a day of love a day of affection, friendship and all so whether it’s a first encounter or a special anniversary, look no further than REm’s rooftop guide to the most … date-night in London Pattaya.

Remember, if you don’t acknowledge Valentine’s Day, it means you don’t really love your partner and everything you thought you knew about your relationship was a hollow, loveless sham.
Just kidding, have a great day whatever you do or don’t do.
