The beaches at Wongamat, plus Cosy Beach and YinYom, Dongtan are pretty good actually, especially after you add in great eats, plus amazing sunsets. Also had a look at a luxury beachfront condo and more! Thanks for coming along, hope you enjoy. Links:

Pratumnak is where I live with my Thai wife and it's an amazing place to call home. Not too many tourists, friendly expats and locals, great world class gym in the neighborhood, lots of quality food stalls and markets catering to locals so cheap and good. Beaches and lots of pretty ladies. For perspective we were just a month on Samui and Bali and my wife and I couldn't wait to get home to Pratumnak. There is so much more to Pattaya than Walking Street. Great place to call home if you can do it.

Hi Mikey Boy. If I may ask, can you stay in Pratumnak (opposed to Central Pattaya and Jomtien) and make it around using only public transportation, bolt, etc.? My concern is that I would need personal transportation for the Pratumnak area, but not sure if that is true. I see that many of the seasoned expats settle in the area, understandably to Central Pattaya, but they obviously all have worked their way up to their own modes of transportation. Any direction you could give me is greatly appreciated!

@roygoad2870 2 жыл бұрын

Yes I agree, the only down side is there’s no Baht Bus, though I often walk or run to Pratumnak from Jomtien, along Dongtan Beach, enjoy it!

@mikeyboy3054 2 жыл бұрын

@@SpicyThaiTacos I'm sorry Casey for late reply. You bring up a good point. If you are comfortable with renting a motorbike you would benefit greatly from that. However, if not, transport is cheap and a grab bike is an alternative. You can catch a public transport down to Pattaya Beach Area from Jomtien as well. But buying your own bike like us or renting one is a definite bonus. I hope that helps!

I have always been torn between pratumnak and wongamat (for living not visiting) both very similar vibe but both very different shops, beaches and other thing , they are the high quality bread at the 2 ends of a very meaty pattaya sandwich. I usually do 50/50 why not no rules lol

Wongamat is great for a relaxing afternoon. But I would not advise to swim. The water is really dirty (less than pattaya beach but still). A good swimming pool in your condo/hotel is a must if you stay in Pattaya.

I am liking the Pattaya content. I watch a lot of Thailand travel content (though some of them have moved on to other countries) and a fair amount is based around Pattaya. Purely by accident. While gogo bars and the more wild nightlife isn't my thing, the more I see of Pattaya, the more I could see myself living there over Bangkok. Or at least having it as my "home base". Although I'd love to give BK a try too:) All that to say, I love your channel and I love your style of filming/narrating. Thanks for all your hard work!

I seriously hope they don't allow casinos in Thailand, particularly in Pattaya. Casinos have ruined whole towns in Cambodia due to the influx of China based crime syndicates. Sumatra is seldom covered on KZfaq travel channels. I'm looking forward to watching your adventure.

With more westerners taking home in Pattaya, particularly the divers, the locals learned to respect nature and cleanliness. This is not the Pattaya of the 80s and 90s. When hotels started building the coast and residential resorts followed suit, the water became cleaner.

@Goeker 2 жыл бұрын

If you are a beach person, don't bother. Even there are some nice beaches around Pattaya, the water is almost always muddy. And it carries all the filth of the sewage system of Pattaya. Not ideal for swimming. For partying and nightlife a great place though. If you find yourself in Patts, i recommend taking daily trips to Koh Lan for the beaches. It's very close to Pattaya, very cheap to travel and has iddylic beaches with cristal clear waters.

It seems a dog ran out in front of him (I sure I don’t have to tell you about what a hazard they can be). The Russian was fairly well hurt. Nothing broken or concussion or anything, but he had some pretty bad scrapes and cuts on his leg and a badly twisted ankle.

Thx Mick. Brit/Scot family roots and I suppose some of the vernacular stuck. I used to love listening to my Grandad's Britsims and my Gran's lovely Hebrides lilt. My Father also says 'Bob's your uncle' and others. Plus, growing up in Canada our CBC had BBC shows too, loved Monty Python, Blackadder etc and more recent stuff as well. Let's sum up by saying some are Downey Jr Sherlock fans, I much prefer the Cumberbatch/Freeeman versions (leagues ahead). Brits may also be more likely 'get' Canuck humour as well (note to my American friends, yes, we put U in humour - see what I did there ;) Cheers Y'all STL

@SideTripLife Жыл бұрын

Thanks! First, if you get an intnl motorcycle drivers licence in your own country you're good to go in Thailand too. If no licence, you'll be stopped at times and fined on the spot (usually 200 baht or up, depending....) I have a Thai M/C licence but it's a bit of a hassle to get. If you have a valid M/C licence from your own country, that makes it easier to get a Thai one (bringing an intnl one is just easier all round). Also best rent for a month to see if riding a scooter round Pattaya is for you (if not, baht buses cost only 10 baht;) THEN if looking at buying a bike make SURE to get a bike with GREEN book (in owners name and locally issued is best, plus tax paid up). Also get the bike checked out first, or, buy new. Will leave it there as this topic could go on and on and I'm on the road, gotta go! Cheers! STL
