David,may the force be with you, the power of the Darkside. well this all in good fun-fun-fun,making my whole month,year,week to the weekend,a lot better.
Great stuff as usual David. Many thanks. I'm looking forward to my early morning walks around the town and along the beach when I'm over in November. It's a completely different feel to the town and you always see something interesting.
Glad you enjoyed seeing a different part of the town...I did muck up though. I should have joined Sukhumvit slightly further North as getting over to the u turn was well hairy 🤣🤣
cheers for a great ride around David. I really like that bottom end of Soi Buakhao market area and South Pattaya Rd in the early morning, it's always full of people and activity. I would always include it in my morning walk when I was there. Nice to see Soi Hollywood etc in the daylight, I think thats the first time I've seen that on a ride....again, looks like somewhere to explore. I think the traffic puts a lot of people off getting over to the Darkside, and if you are on foot, the distances between areas you might want to stop at is much further...so I guess people avoid it for easier areas. Cheers again, great to watch
Glad you enjoyed the wee tour Glenn, just something different. I was just hoping the timing would work out for my camera battery to allow me to shoot the town around 8am. (When you are normally making your way home) 🤣🤣
Hey dave , you are a very brave man to do this video on a bicycle, it’s great to see a different area of pattaya , I haven’t been to dark side before , keep up your good work my friend 🙏
Great tour David, never really had a look around the Dark Side. Very enjoyable video, doesn't have to be all booze and bars all the time. May drop by your gold shop next time I'm in town. Thanks as always. aka JG in TX
Glad you enjoyed something different. Some of the gold shops when they saw the colour of my skin added a premium of over 1,000 per baht of gold. That shop was straight and fair.🙏🙏
I once got hit by a motorcycle on soi boakow at 3am when there was no traffic at all. How he managed it I don’t know, he had the whole road to himself.
I can not wait to return to my fvoriteus navy 7th fleet port of liberty calk In my us navy duty years80s Pattaya beach thailand was my favorite Asian city for my ship to visit like I stopped at many times in my navy ships
I can not wait to return for my first time in my life since 80s. This coming November 2-26 I plan on coming to Thailand on my tourism visit an return visit for my big big 60th birthday
I am gonna be staying at our Hilton Pattaya beach for about 10-14 nights if I get good deal being I am Hilton honors man and I plan on staying at Selina place hotel too if they still have rooms for me.
Hey David, amazing tour I was on the edge of my chair watching all those scooters driving crazy it is amazing to me how these people don't wear helmets. Nice ride be safe👍🙏
Covered some ground there mate. The Darkside is somewhere I still know very little about so always k retesting. You also give some really good snippets of shops and food stalls etc from your experience which is invaluable Great to see Trev looking a lot trimmer and focussed. I think I need to join him after my binge in the UK.
Looks like the Chinese tour buses are back. You never want to stay at a hotel where buses are picking them up at dawn. Tops taking over family marts in Cambodia mini Cs have taken over family marts and other convenience stores not sure if both of these stores are affiliated in any way. Riding over all those bumps on the dark side I would probably be very soar. Thanks for the video many of us tourists won’t see that area of pattaya.
I go in that duck noodle soup place all the time it’s fantastic soup and get loads of duck for 70 baht or might gone up to 80 last time I was in there last month
It is even more mental fast with Nong behind the wheel. I tracked her from the UK when I was over to pick up Mum, she was cruising at 185, most of the way to Bangkok..her friend who was with her, refused to go in a car with her again 🤣🤣
death wish 1. an unconscious desire for one’s own death, as manifested in self-destructive or dangerous behaviors. Fun fact, the death wish is associated with a strong libido. Who knew?😂😂😂
@@DSPattaya 👍 Cool. I wore out my electric assisted bike I used it so much. It had both a throttle and levels of assisted pedaling. Ebikes underrated. 😊 Now I bought a Sur-Ron that is kind of an electric dirt bike. It's not officially street legal but it's small and quiet so no one seems to care. Fun machine. But I need to figure out how to carry stuff. Your videoing is none the less pretty good.
@sunrisejak2709 I rode a 2kw chopper style on the other channel last year. It was very good, but it (and the suron) look too much like a motorbike. I prefer something that looks like a bike. Like everything here, best stay under the radar 😄😄
David,may the force be with you,
the power of the Darkside.
well this all in good fun-fun-fun,making my whole month,year,week to the weekend,a lot better.
Star wars joke.
Think this must be one of the best videos of the dark side. Thanks for showing us David, will ask Trev to arrange a pub crawl there :-)
Good morning David !!
Another amazing video 🤘😎🤘. I haven't commented in a while but still watching every one.
Great stuff as usual David. Many thanks. I'm looking forward to my early morning walks around the town and along the beach when I'm over in November. It's a completely different feel to the town and you always see something interesting.
For sure James, I love the early mornings here, just because it's cooler and as you say, you see different things 🙏🙏
Thank you, David. Great video, nice ride.
Nice ride around David good area covered,also nice to see two different aspects of daytime to night time.
Glad you enjoyed seeing a different part of the town...I did muck up though. I should have joined Sukhumvit slightly further North as getting over to the u turn was well hairy 🤣🤣
This was great! Thanks! I was looking forward to seeing your better half’s shop! You should show it one day.
I've shot the video already, possibly a week on Friday on the other channel 🙏🙏

Thanks David, that bike of yours really moves and appeared to have no problem keeping up with the traffic on those bigger roads.
Hey David, amazing tour I was on the edge of my chair watching all those scooters driving crazy it is amazing to me how these people don't wear helmets. Nice ride be safe👍🙏

Let's get back out there, if you get some shoes you can give the road bike a go, much faster than the MTB 🤣🤣
enjoyed that today David,think its time you got our plumpish friend back on the bike LOL hahaha
Another good ride. I always like to pause it at different locations or if I see a room for rent sign. Not everything is on the web.
Excellent all around
Phew! I'm ready for a glass of pop after that. I even managed to keep up all the way round 👍👍
Any excuse Chandler 🤣🤣
I like the drive around Bro
38:27, we see those hands on those hips trevor lol...good on him for still keeping his fitness regiment
He was looking trim ...and he's promised to get back out on the bike 🙏🙏
If you’re looking for bungalow the Darkside has some real good deals 👍
Cheers David
🙂
Welcome Tony 🤣🤣
Interesting to see the other side.
That bike rips when you let it off the chain!
Trevor in the wild pursuing his Fatty to Fitty! Love it!
Lived on the Darkside for a few years,Chokchai C ,Soi Nernplubwan
I understand (from my Thai correspondent) that Soi 15 Road Works (at least at the Bukhao end) are finished
Yes I believe so, when I passed on Monday they were at the finishing stages 🙏🙏
That bicycle is pretty fast!!
It nicks on when you push it for sure 🙏🙏
Top ride
I’m interested what E bike do you have?
you're a brave guy to be riding a bike there.
I’d be nervous even to drive a car there!

I remember back in the day when we all decided to have an afternoon trip out to the "darkside" for a pizza!!! 🤣🤣🤣
If you had seen the girls you would know....we went for pizza 🤣🤣
thank you for the true feel of ex pat
What's your top speed on the e-bike?
Seems like you're moving at times!!!
I can reach about 54 if pushing it hard, normal effort would be around 48 🙏🙏
Close used to. be Benelux bar
Cycling in those areas is controlled chaos. I thought cycling in New York City was tough!
Dave have you ever played Trev in pool; you both seem to be pretty good players and it would be a very even game?
Lol many times. If I have a good day I can probably match him 1 for 1, but most days I am lucky if I take 3 games off of him out of 10 🙏🙏
So what actually happened on this Stag night you went to???
I remember it started at noon with Bacon sandwiches and bubbly. From there it gets foggy, but I was home for 9 🤣🤣
Nong had a TTS, that’s what I drive, so is that why they call it a hairdressers car Dave 😂 If only they knew. TTS is mental fast.
It is even more mental fast with Nong behind the wheel. I tracked her from the UK when I was over to pick up Mum, she was cruising at 185, most of the way to Bangkok..her friend who was with her, refused to go in a car with her again 🤣🤣
I also had a TTS. Fantastic car here in Thailand. I had the solar orange version which was really fun. One of the all time greats in my opinion.
Got to be careful crossing roads running parallel with railway lines.
The first one I crossed on Khao Talo, was closed earlier that morning due to a fatal accident 🙏🙏
Trev seems a good bloke

Get an electric assisted bicycle that's smooth and quiet and takes the excess work out of it.
Lol that was electric, but I still pedal, top speed on that ride just over 52kmph on the Sukhumvit 😄😄
@@DSPattaya 👍 Cool. I wore out my electric assisted bike I used it so much. It had both a throttle and levels of assisted pedaling.

@@DSPattaya Can't argue that! 😁
are there only Pommies living in Pattaya ??
Nice one mate thanks for your efforts and sharing your experience with us 🙏
