Thailand Beach

 Thailand Beach Mae Pim on the gulf of Thailand is only ninety minutes by car east of Pattaya, and 2 hours south of Bangkok. Beautiful white sand and clean water, and so quiet and peaceful after the noise & Madness of Pattaya.

The main road in Thailand Beach Mae Pim

Reminds me of the Eagles song “Long Road out of Eden”, so little traffic midweek compared to Pattaya.

Fresh seafood caught by these boats.

There are about 15 seafood restaurants offering all varieties of fish and shell fish.

Curry crab & spring rolls

The crab was very good (B600) however the spring rolls were absolutely fantastic.

Our hotel was rather old fashioned but the rooms were very good and the pool was enormous.

The water was a perfect temperature for guys like us who are allergic to the cold. 🙂

A busy bar with a great selection of food, however B175 for Jack Daniels is way over the top.

Tequila Sunset restaurant overlooked the sandy beach where the gentle waves brushed against the shore, we marveled at the beautiful onshore breeze blowing from the west, and thoroughly enjoyed the solitude of Mae Pim compared to the madness of Pattaya.

Thailand Beach Mae Pim bike for hire

These multi passenger bikes are for hire, the roads are very quiet so I’m sure they are reasonably safe.

 This is certainly the hotel I will stay next time I visit, nice facilities with a good pool and across the road from the beach.

You realise you are in a Thai village when the local coffee shop does not show any English. 🙂

The cheap way to get to Pattaya is take a 30 minute songthaew ride to Ban Phe then hook up with a mini bus.
