Always watch till the end. Longer the better.
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.
Sounds really amazing like a piece of heaven dude...okay take care and maybe see u 1 day in Thailand
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!
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!
@@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
Great job mate. Thats a refreshingly different tour of Pattaya.
I recently "discovered " your channel and for what's happening info it's the best. Just enough info and presented in a adult manner. This was a great vlog thank you
OMG! Sumatra. YES!
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!
lovely spot, lovely people, lovely service and extremely affordable. If you're a budget person, you can live well in Pattaya or anywhere else in Thailand.Always something for all walks, which can't be said for many parts of the world. Thanks for your efforts with the vlog^^
I love the calm and informative tone of your videos. Very enjoyable.
Great video as usual, I totally agree , Pattaya is what you make of it. It’s cheap as you want it and it’s expensive as you want it. Just don’t take anything serious and drink and eat and have fun.
Arom looks like a nice addition to the Wongamat skyline. Glassy modern building.
I love the grilled fish curry at the Sky Gallery , yum... enjoy .
I'm a fellow Canuck out of Vancouver, and I'm about to board a flight to Bangkok now (April 2023). I'll be in Pattaya in a few days. This video got me more fired up. The city has something for everyone, but I do prefer Jomtien Beach.
Hey Brian, yep I agree about Jomtien. Lots more to Patts beyond bars and thought I'd show a bit of it. Have a great one. STL
Thank you as always for the great informative video and showing another side of Pattaya which is truly beautiful and exciting at the same time!
You have the added advantage of being the most positive person on the planet.
Pattaya is on my bucket list for sure.
Pattaya is coming back to life , I hope it keeps improving for my November trip ! Thank you for your work STL , enjoy and drive safe please ...
How's the trip?
Quality viewing 👌 as you say , plenty of beach choices & definitely value for money - Thanks STL 🙏
So glad to hear you’re voice again! ;-)) and ofcorse all the beautifull places!
I like your vocabulary from Aussie! It comes out in your videos! Good onya mate! Oi Oi Oi!
Amazing place very nice channel great job excellent footage Big Like 😊🌴🌴🇮🇹👍👍👍👍
Nice video, enjoyed your ride around pattaya, and definatly a good thing you had your Thai license……you did a great job getting so much of the city into this video👍🏼
Great video as always, and you're a great narrator
thanks for always making such great videos, and thanks to you i never thought of visiting Pattaya but now i will. Also great livestream from kuala lumpur you are living such a great life.
Thx Kate also for helping with the live (which I removed as it was flagged by yt;) Paying for it now as rushing to catch flight to Sumatra with 3 hrs sleep lol
@@SideTripLife oh no you must be exhausted. thanks we got to see where you were. have a good day
@@SideTripLife a lot of other youtubers make Pattaya look like a bar nightclub place and make it uninteresting but you changed it and showed us what it can also be like. thanks
Never been to Pattaya, was always put off by it’s reputation, but watching your videos has made me think that I might actually consider it now. I really like the look of the last beach area you went to with The Sky Bar, that looks like my kind of beach : )
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.
Watched every second ,thanks.
You are right, we need both electric and O&G. I’m not convinced that EVs are the future for cold climates but they are getting better but for Thailand, great if their infrastructure can make it work.
Watched till the end 👍
Great video of my favourite City in the World. Yes , i did watch till the end ;-)
yes i watched till the end😀
22:03 omg that's joesthetics, @Jo Lindner the famous bodybuilder in Thailand 💪
Wow 19:16 post card views, I'm catching up to your videos again:)
Hiya STL, *Congratulations 30K*
Well deserved. Your channel is so underrated. I always like and share. So informative. And always enjoyable to watch. Your lunch looked so good. You're a top bloke helping to push. Lovely, the ladies brought back your cable/plug. Pat, Gave you a great tour around. Lucky they were ok coming off the bike. Fantastic tour around as always. That motorbike was awesome. Love that the ladies are all working out. Good vibes. Beautiful sunset. Thank you for sharing. Can not wait for the next one. Have a great weekend.
Pattaya nice place and So beautiful Sunset 😊🤙❤️☀️🌞🌝🌅🌄
30k well done!
We always watch to the end, we love the Side trips of life!
So true about riding a moto without a helmet. Huge tip is bring your own helmet if you are travelling. You will always have a good fitting and clean helmet.
Never liked Pattaya. Thought it was too busy, too dirty, too bland a beach compared to other famous beaches in Thailand. Not my type. But now....i see Pattaya that is different from what I had in my mind and love the Miami vibe it has going on. Thank you for showing us local restaurants and accomodations! 😊
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.
Great video mate. Pattaya looks fantastic 👌
Surf and Turf great place I eat there 2 or 3 times each week live 5 mins from it right there on Wongmat beach great place to live highly recommend it
I really enjoy all your videos. Thank you very much.
I miss Pattaya….been there over 40 times
Omg I am so jealous of you. Using your videos as motivation to work on retirement
video is a little long but very good, Thank you for sharing with us, new friend
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 swam in Wongamat this year. It's clean. They've already fixed whatever issues 20 years ago. As result, luxury developers of hotels and resorts chose to build there.
STL you'll always get people who moan about stuff, can't please everyone. Since lock downs finished (and I may be imagining this) but does it seem that Thais and especially younger Thais are discovering places that once seemed to be Farang tourists destinations? All power to them. 💪🏻 Looking forward to your next installment. 🙂
Thanks!
I always love youre vlogs. Thanks for the hard work
Good video 👍🏻
Good vid. Enjoyed and learned. Thailand is more "modern" than I realized. I have subscribed.👍
Thank you for this cheat code because I must do something else than indulge in Thai woman in red light district all day when I visit.
These are places i can meet people and just enjoy some good vibes and take in Thailand coast line. Peace and Safe travels bro.
Just came across some of your videos. Definitely subscribed. Keep up the awesome work!
Another 10/10 video
Wow! Really? Thanks kindly. STL
Excellent, excellent , excellent..... I always enjoy your vlog .... If possible please make a vlog with Vogue Hotel pattaya... 👌👌👌
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 RUclips travel channels. I'm looking forward to watching your adventure.
Agreed 👍
I like casino cities but I love the vibe in Thailand and believe they would only ruin it and more so the beautiful people…
Similar thing happening in Laos...
Great to get a view of Pattaya and surrounds, apart from the central bars/clubs/etc area. Like many places, you can take advantage of what's on offer in terms of accommodation and eating and recreation options, and just leave the rest - if that's not your cup of tea. Great video again, so thanks STL 🙂
Hey Lucas,
Just arrived back to the Florida from overseas for a visit. Stopped at Wendy's for lunch with my wife and boy. Paid $37.00 for 3 value meals.
Awesome content mate! Keep it up
Thank you for a fun video. 😊
in your vlog even ugly Pattaya looks lovely :) watched it till the end ;)
Cheers ArtDealer! Pattaya has some nice spots (warts n all;) STL
Great finish to Pattaya! Sucks about those two on the bike, hope they ended up ok enough to learn their lesson without anything permanent. Looking forward to your Sumatra vids!
I still have to take motorbike lessons back here in Canada. Defensive driving skills would pay off in Pattaya I am thinking. lol
Always interested in prices and exploring. Great job..
Love your video ❤
All ways Eat at Surf and turf Every Trip to Pattaya when Visiting very close friends 👍
Your showing some of the lesser known spots where I go sometimes, fortunately you didn’t find all of them lol, lots to discover and explore all around the Pattaya area! There going to start building a top class condo along Dongtan beach, there’s a big sign that says Billionaire Row!
It looks like it has everything that you could possibly need.... As for the "Greens"... EVERY machine even EV`s needs Lubrication..... Grease or oil for bearings etc.... We used to use Whale blubber until we found Oil....Even the sewing machines used to make the "Ban Oil" banners and printers for posters, need Oil!!!!! So Oil will be here for quite some time to come..... Please don`t mention Palm Oil which is causing Massive environmental problems!! Sorry or the rant STL but you started it.. lol....... Great vid Dude.... :-)))
Hilarious, STL! How many times Thai return your items?!?! 😅🤣🤣I do the same thing!
Thai people are the best people!!!! ❤️
And yes, Pratumnak hill is a bit tricky on that sweeping S turn. It's deceptively wide 🤷♂️
We have a condo at Wongamat beach with gorgeous sea view . Normally we would spend 1 week in Wongamat and 3 weeks in Bangkok . It's the best investment we ever had . Full of Russian tho . But they are quite well-mannered .
Wongamat great area! You have best of both!
BEST of THE REST : East To West
Awesome
Very common to see accidents on that off camber curve.
You really coming to Sumatra? I love your videos. Which part of Sumatra you coming to.
Bottom of Pratumnak Soi 4
When I lived in Cozy beach, I was coming down the curves where you showed that accident. At almost the exact place you saw the accident I came upon a Russian guy who just wiped out. 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.
As always, watched till the end.
Interupted by ads 5 times! 🤨 (That should earn you a couple of Leo's at least)
No such thing as a "too long" STL video. +1
Hey STL, another great vlog. Some of these places have change my idea of Pattaya. I love some of your references to British culture (a few bob, cheap as chips) have you been to my side of the pond? If not, where do you pick up these phrases? I'm in UK btw.
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 glad that Canucks can spell 🤣🤣
Do you need a Thai license or will an international DL that you can get at AAA here at the states work? Thanks
I was just at white rock BC I stayed at the one hotel they have 😂
maybe they can do electric for private drivers and gasoline for commercial usage like trucks
So what's the story on the police stopping you on a scooter? Can you PM me with details on what I need to do when I come to Thailand and rent or buy a motorcycle, please? Thanks! Love your videos, keep em coming.
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
22:03 This is Joesthetics, a very popular fitness influencer.
Ahhh, well spotted, thx Sweaty!
while the prices are up, it's the quality of friends that has been deteriorating over time, with those prices going up. that's what many complain about.
I think you ran into Joe Lindner at 22:03
how about the bigger one condo? seems you did not ask for its price...
What do you do if your motorcycle breaks down? Or you get in a accident? Is there insurance for that?
I love Thailand but that’s way too crowded for my taste . Not for me , I prefer less crowded locations . I was in Pattaya in 1982 with my parents and it was already kinda crowded then ! Stayed at a fantastic hotel called the Royal Cliff Beach Resort, it was fab back then ….
Thanks for sharing
puh - taa - yuh
Had a Thai chase me down to give me my wallet back before
Do you need a cycle endorsement on your drivers license in Thailand? On a Thai drivers license or if you have a Midwestern drivers license or a international drivers license?
Have a Thai MC/DL. Intnl MC DL also accepted (just get one at your local DMV)
Would the police accept an international driving permit ?
Of course!
That’s not to bad of a car?
Do you have a motorcycle license permitted in Thailand?
Still needs international drivers license to rent and drive a motorbike there.
What is the bird saying?
?
90 baht when you go to the bar, 200 baht if you want it served to you
LET ME MAKE THE 100th COMMENT... :)
My only complaint about Pattaya is how polluted the beaches are. It’s not recommended to swim there due to very high levels pollution. Predominately human 💩 💩 getting flushed out of the condos and into the ocean. Such a shame.
Personally wouldn't swim near an outfall anywhere. It's also sometimes not recommended to swim in the UK and many others including my home Vancouver. For example, Google 'Over 50 beaches in the UK have a warning due to sewage pollution'
Electric cars are a BIG CON!
?
The kitchen sink next to the bed - if you don't complain about such moronic design, you're a ... lol.
Nothing to complain as it's not a kitchen sink.
