Is Ban Chang Still Worth a Visit From Pattaya?

- Опубликовано: 14 сен 2020
- In this episode we venture to Ban Chang and check into a hotel right in the middle of town. Afterwards we enjoy a meal at a local eatery and take a look at the entertainment strip which seems to be business as usual. In the evening we go to visit a new establishment which is a venue for aspiring musicians to try their hand at live performance, hosted by RUclipsr Teacher Thomas in Thailand. After a tour of the venue, we enjoy the rest of the evening in Ban Chang. The next day we head off to a very unique coffee shop and meet up with Cee Jay Same Same but Different. After a coffee together we venture off to see some of the other attractions close to Ban Chang only to encounter a rare power outage which leaves us both a bit in the dark. Enjoy the Ride!

Thanks a lot for stopping by the OPEN MIC @PHALA. Always enjoy your videos and it was a pleasure meeting you both. Peace and love, TTT
Thanks Thomas and best of luck with your new bar. Let me know when those pancakes hit the griddle 😊
@@Rides4Kickz will do.
Always a great video informative and interesting, thanks for taking the time to keep us all entertained.
Very nice video , new Thailand places to visit and enjoy !!! Thank you stay safe ...
Nice to see different areas. Thanks for sharing.
What a cool coffee shop/plane thanks for another great video 😁👍
Excellent video. Thanks.
Good video. Very cool of you to continue the Domestic tourism.
That Airplane Coffe was nice and meeting fellow RUclipsrs.
Another great video. That bar looked like the kind of place I'd want to go. Dedicated to putting out a good product, nice people, great atmosphere.
Another great vlog loucous can't wait go teacher Thomas bar 🙏🙏
Great vlog as always👍
Thank you for show different places around Pattaya.
When I was stationed at U-Tapao, 74/75 we used to go to Ban Chang for movies and food. My favorite was a burger place called Snoopy's run by a retired GI. Must be long gone. We'd also go to a small army post by Samae San for fried chicken. There was a place called Newland with lots of bars for GIs. I don't remember exactly where it was, but I remember passing the then famous Swan Hotel.
Hi Lucas. Another very interesting and informative video. Just love listening to your narration on these.keep up the excellent blogs.until the next time. Bye for now. 😉👍👌
Enjoying your content always. Greetings from Amsterdam.
Really enjoying your vlogs since I’ve been following you, this one makes me want to visit there once the closures are done! 👍
Awesome video 👍
Bad luck with the power outage, but so what you are able to be in paradise! Thanks for posting, Lucas!
What a happy clip
Love your videos, you have an awesome voice
Nice well covered video Lucas, really enjoyed the lookout spot at samasean, I head there regularly great seafood directly from the Burmese fisherman and the great clean water for swimming.
Pizzeria on the bar street is worth visiting. It is expensive but the guy is Swedish and he keep the place in good shape. Half of the visitors are locals. They do not short change you and im sure the owner is just a honest bloke. I am amazed how he survived the pandemic. i was stunned when i saw it was still around. Not for every meal but if you like a good pizza.
🦩Great video,great trips👍
Nice times. TT place looks good. I watch his vlog to.
another great vlog Lucas, I was just looking at that plane - coffee shop - that looks exactly like the last plane that was ever seen flying into the Bermuda Triangle, and was never seen again, I swear 😜
Nice to see you and Cee Jay and your ladies having a good time. Too bad about the power outage at the dyno shop...
Kansas City Represent! Go Chiefs! Thanks for the great video and keeping the dream alive. More inspiration to get my act together towards moving there full time. The airplane coffee shop reminds me of a joke: First Officer - "Captain, not sure if we're going to make it, that runway is mighty short!" Captain - "You're right, but wow is it wide!" :D Hope you and yours are healthy and happy and looking forward to the time when I can return. First round is on me! :)
That plane coffe place was really great.
Thanks mate, next time I am there might try it.
I can't believe how close everything was that's great. I love that museum with the military hardware especially the Huey. Too bad about the grid that sucks anyway thanks again. Stay safe. From the US
Another great video👍
But man Oh man when I see you again the race is on🏍🏍🏍🏍🏍🤪
So you need to tuneup 🛠your motorbike🛵 take it back to the shop whatever you need to do because it is on🤩
Lol, sorry Cee Jay, couldn’t resist 😁
I know just good fun.. 😁😁😁😁😁
Can’t wait until next time!!!
Hey CJ, I have seen you in other RUclips channels also, too many Thai channels to mention but, anyway I did not know you had a channel so thanks R4K I am also now subscribed to CJ Same same but different! RACE is ON!! LOL!
How great is that plane love it
400 THB. Can't complain.
Everything is open in Chiang Rai, but like everywhere else, there are no foreign tourists.
That airplane place reminds me of the gogo bar on Walking Street minus the girls!
17:44 great shot.
Great video.
Man you do find some fun stuff😳I Flew / Worked. on big jets for 40 years.....who would expect that fun gig there.
Top Draw 👍
That was pretty good video.
More hidden gems, 😁👍
I spent a couple of days in Ban Chang some years ago. I could have sworn I stayed at the Wynn Spot but it wasn't called the Wynn Spot at the time. I can't remember the name of the place back then. Sort of had a lodge theme to it. Cool vid mi amigo. Chok dee Khrap,
I really like Thomas' place here, I'd gladly go there if I was fortunate enough to be in town. What a gamble though, seem like such nice people, I really hope it works out.
i totally agree: nothing like a cold beer in cold mugs!
Great vid👌👌it would be very helpful when the trip was showing on a map 👍👍 so the viewers know where u was!
Greetings from Munich 😎🥨🍺
Dear Lucas💐i like your videos👍Regards Kurdish -Sweden😊
Nice place
as long as he sticks to a plan with the bar , watch the overheads and keeps staff happy he will be on a winner when the tourists come back and I will hopefully be one of them once I can get out of lockdown in Australia and i want to catchup with R4K , cheers Alister Australia.
Great little look around Lucas.. Hotel was well worth the 400 baht. 👍👍
Got to try this area , been to bang chang for the afternoon, but yeh worth a trip out .
Jon pickering
Hi where r u from baby
Lucas, I was hoping you would surprise us all by getting up on stage at the Open Mic and singing us a song.... I'm thinking you can sing with that baritone voice👍
Travelled from Pattaya a few days ago to the biker cafe with friends. Must of been the same day, closed, lol. Lots of people pulling up, must of lost a lot of custom but hey, another day. Great vid mate. Love how you like to support local businesses on your trips, same same. Good man.
That's funny, if they were open, we may have met 👍
@@Rides4Kickz What's funny is you have passed me twice in I rovers Pattaya. I was sat on the deck both times while you went inside. Meant to say hello but you dissapeared both times.. Next time lol.
Yes same same but!!!!!! You know the rest😜
@@CeejaySamesamebutdifferent Sorry mate, you've lost me there?
Lol, no problem😊 I read your comment and I see you say same same 🤔and that’s part of my RUclips channel same same but different😁
Double crossover episode! I watch this channel and notime2bsad with my parents at meal times. We keep wondering when you will do a crossover with them. You've got close so many times, being in pattaya at the same time, meeting up with TTT now, who was on their thanksgiving video, featuring cee jay who was on notime2bsad just in the last two weeks. Will we see a chuck / lucas / paige / vee meet up? Only time will tell... :D
That's an episode i would be sure to miss!!
Like the channel. Just a suggestion, for road trip videos it would be handy if you put a map up to show where you’ve been travelling from and travelling to.
Good tip!
Every room review you mentioned the “bum gun” you must like that thing
what a life ! what a life :)
Useful video. Got 2 days to burn so I might go here instead of Koh chang.
I was in Pattaya last weekend,stayed at Pplus. Great place and location. You were in Koh Samet. So,see you next time. Enjoy your travel.
i must get to ban chang
wow, amazing Station 331 with an assortment of real decommissioned planes, military chopper (not sure if that is a Super Puma, I had flown on Puma several times), jeeps etc.. "ATC Ban Chang, Flight 331 requesting for take off, over." ATC: "Flight 331, you are cleared for take off at runway 01"
Near the beginning you were passing by places with girls out front. One of the places, I had to freeze the shot to really read it, because I initially at first glance thought it was a raunchy name for a bar. Turned out to be called "The Where House" Lol
🤣😂🤣
The dude's wife at bikers cafe has a tremendous body for being ....elderly....well done.
Ban chang (and Chang sova hotel) had always been a good option for me when I got fed up with Pattaya
I don't think I'd ever get tied up with buying and trying to run any "entertainment" business in Thailand in good or bad times. Actually the idea not limited to Thailand. Just better to have a very solid retirement and be a customer rather than a proprietor.
my first visit there was 2004. I almost, almost bought into some places in 2005. One place was an internet cafe, one place was a very busy bar of decent size that also had two floors of rooms above it. The prices were OK but the terms were hard to swallow. Having had family restaurant and bar in the USA I was well aware of possible issues. Inspectors, license shake down, competitions filing complaints, reliable help that would stay and not be theifs. Local Mafia bribes, utilities, etc. Then of course dealing with nutty drunks and the drugs. Then the Key money turnover concept Pattaya uses. I have no idea how well the bar would have done. Maybe that would have been OK. The internet cafe would have gone bust as smart phones and wifi took over. 15 years of my life and who knows what would have happened. Instead I stayed on my engineering contract career. Now at 63 years of age I am a single millionaire and can and planned to semi retire to Thailand. Then COVID showed up and no idea when I can even visit the country freely again. Oh well. Time to go buy my retirement home with a pool in Melbourne, Florida. There is a nice Thai community there and a very pleasant Thai temple in a nice outdoor setting. If I can't go to Thailand then I will bring Thailand to me
I used to stay at that hotel , not bad cheap on the pocket , in the heart of the action
What a nice coffee.
awesome that you are meeting other tubers.
In October I will officially be 4 holiday trips to Thailand behind in my normal vacation schedule. Damn you Coved-19 please end SOON!!!
Yes I know how you feel, this October I will be two trips behind. Each one a X 3 week trip ! ☹️
@@Tex_Symbol69 Mine are usually 10 to 14 days depending on where the 12 official holidays fall this year. I get 1 more week of vacation, so I can now (if things ever return to normal) have six 10 to 14 day trips a year.
great video...when are you coming to deep southern thailand ..
Not sure yet
Biscuits and country gravy when done right, is a great day starter. I hope his Open Mic spot succeeds amidst the man made mayhem...
so many pretty girls in this video, thanks.
visiting ttt ya bro...nice coffee war cafe
Your bike sounds good when you give it to it. 👍👍👍
🤔
@@CeejaySamesamebutdifferent ...Ceejay would you mind telling Lucas there is something wrong with his camera..! When he opened that throttle on his bike you got smaller and smaller..I know you where working that poney of yours brother... Can't work out what went wrong with the focus.. Cheers..😳😄😄😄😄
Jack Evans 😂
You know the funny thing that you did not get a change to see the seen that was cut out when I pass him😂😂😂😂
Never in doubt Ceejay..MY MAN..But rather unusual for Lucas to run out of fuel..😳😳😳😳😄
Hey Lucus, glad you got by the Open Mic and meet TTT and good to see Cee Jay too. Living life with Style in Thailand. Keep the roll going.
Thanks 👍
Thanks👍
Saving my money like crazy to retire in Thailand. Envy you
I'd love to see some Bangkok content. I know every time I land in BKK I jet off to another place. But you have this metro area of 16 million people at your doorstep and rarely show it. I heard the Icon mall on the river is really nice.
Just did a four part series in BKK last month, will be going back soon. 👍
Enjoyed the video! But what happened to the "ambience" music when doing a tour of the room? Miss that 😂😂
He stopped playing the hotel ambiance music when he started traveling with Vee. The music has been gone for about 6 months.
@@zipporahthecushite7729 Everybody uses ambiance music, totally played out.
What kind of camera are you using?
Kitty Corner , I was there when they opened about 10yrs ago , they moved from the shop next door , not a bad crew , entertainment was better than the food .... when the Camel shut the strip lost its glow
Cheers
Vi's favourite song. Everybody loves some som tam, sometimes. Apologies to Dino
classic Thai electic system:) folks be protesting here, ringing insurance compies lol also love they way y our like "think this is army land" theres no way you would be in any doubt here lol mmmh so lwhat you think it be back open to normal tourists by xmas time?
Hard to say, changes every day really.
4:21 The "e" in "THE WHeRE HOUSE" is the only lowercase letter.
Thomas has a nice place worth visiting when going to Thailand also SUB him
Yes I went there on Monday and to my surprise he’s close on Mondays 😔
Hi mate, what cameras and equipment do you use. Thanks
Gopro hero 7 black, Insta360 one R and Iphone 6s.
Thanks for the reply! Love your vids
Biscuits and gravy, or as 'Kev in Thailand' once said; "Looks like someone got sick on a scone".
but Kev was a Limey so take what he said with baked beans and fried eggs YUCK! LOL! R.I.P. Kev gone but never forgotten.
how far from pattaya to ban chang/ the airplane? can i get a taxi to take me?
Bus . Hire a motorcycle. It's just along the coast
The pizza at the Bikers Cafe is really good and only 100b.
Id never heard of biscuits and gravy being from australia.
After looking it up i dunno whether im convinced lol lol
If you are in Hua Hin stop at Jim's Bar Soi 80 around 7:30 am and get the best biscuits with sausage gravy in Thailand. Guaranteed.
Thanks for the tip 🙏
They are buttermilk biscuits smothered in a sausage cream gravy, give em a try 👍
@@death2putin718 Welcome to Hua Hin. Time to go to the Pharmacy.
Don't knock it til you have tried it. It's good eats. Even better over french fries!!
Looks like all the cool cats left and moved to Thailand...
The man loves his fried Chicken! lol where is the best you had in Thailand?
17:48 what was that?
Real cutey at 10:50. Are those ladies freelancers or just staff ?
New beer bar
Interesting, but overkill on the adverts, 6 in 20 minutes, distracting!
These businesses need to factor in either a power generator or an old tractor engine for electricity. The investment would be well worth to their businesses.
Jumbo jet is a 747...that looks like an old Airbus, maybe a 300 or 310.
Based on the shape of the winglets, it's an A330.
Per the look of the cockpit, definitly it's an Airbus type family of aircraft (minus the 2 joy sticks - missing)...Will give it a try when I'm in the area next trip to Thailand; coffee in the airplane fuselage...nice.
@@random1883 definitely not an A330, the cockpit gives it away. I'd say ots a 300.
thai webpage says its a wrecked airbuss a330-300
@@tomiasthexder7673 At 12:00, you'll see the belly fairing (the bulge under the fuselage where the wings are attached). The A300 and A310 do not have this.
Don't expect too much from the pancakes, they will probably turn out like the Big Mac, nothing like the picture.
How the hell did they get those giant planes there???????
400 Baht, by today’s exchange rate, is $12.70 USD. Insanely cheap!
Do you still walk in the mornings?
Sometimes yes
Dart boards are illegal in Thai bars and karaoke requires a special licence, I have a bar here in Ayutthaya.
Jeez. It must have cost the biker bar guy a fortune to get a Dodge Challenger out in Thailand.
That’s what I was thinking, he told me he bought it here. I had the same, bought new in 2010, loved it 👍
First like, first comment, where's my prize haha
Here ya go 🍺
@@Rides4Kickz Beer O'clock, don't mind if i do :)
Sova hotel lol...sova is Norwegian for sleeping. Good name for a hotel. Scandinavian owner??
Maybe, quite possibly
400 b is cheap as chips . Is that the normal price?
Not sure, but everything is a little cheaper right now.
Most I've seen is 600..in high season. Xanadu is newer and better.
I’m from Kansas City Missouri I wonder how close that guy lived to me
Probably not far, hit him up on his channel. 👍
I'm from KCK went to school in Turner. Cheers
