Pattaya Beach remodel

Pattaya Beach remodel

Pattaya Beach remodel between August 2021 & November 2023 has started with the removal of many trees & widening the footpath & the road.

Heavey equipment is raring to go

Pattaya Beach remodel

November 2023 seems a very long time to finish this project, I’m guessing it’s going to be very flash indeed. πŸ™‚

Artists impression of Pattaya Beach

Pattaya Beach remodel

The trees are all in a very straight line. πŸ™‚

Meanwhile back at the ranch…..

Pattaya Beach remodel

 Work continues, many trees are being removed making lots of locals very unhappy.

These people are lodging aa complaint.

Pattaya Beach remodel

 A group of prominent local Thai residents and community leaders came out today to Beach Road to protest the project. They stated that they felt it was destroying nature and was the wrong time to do a beach remodel with the city in such dire straits due to Covid-19. The project has been temporarily paused for discussions between the community leaders and the mayor.

Work continues

Pattaya Beach remodel

Many of these trees are over 60 years old.

That’s the Dusit Hotel in the background.

Pattaya Beach remodel

The extra traffic lane will allow for creation of 700 parking spaces along the 2.7-kilometer stretch between the Dusit Curve and Walking Street.

The blueprint also calls for creation of recreational areas on the beach, three underground restrooms and beach showers, plus the planting of new trees along Beach Road, and additional lighting for improved safety. This vital north-south artery, which only was fully patched up earlier this year after an agonizingly long bout of road construction, will be ripped up once again to widen it by three meters, taking that space from the footpath.

Moving the light posts

This was the morning of August 17 2021.

Out come the seats

Hopefully they will be upgraded.

Fat Coco A-One Hotel

Fat Coco A-One Hotel

Fat Coco A-One Hotel

Fat Coco A-One Hotel is a rather unsusual name, I have no idea what it means or what it stands for. Having said all that I was able to follow the entire building process from my balcony on the 21st floor of Markland Condo. The shot above was how it used to look before somebody decided to spoil what was an attractive unusual landmark on Beach Road.

OK, lets do it.

Fat Coco A-One HotelThis particular construction started on the 31st of January 2021.

January 19 2021

Fat Coco A-One HotelWhat a great view from my balcony, I have lived in Markland for 10 years.

Up come the tiles

Fat Coco A-One Hotel

Next job is the demolish the beautiful swimming pool. This is what I call a very cunning plan. πŸ™‚

After all, who needs a nice pool at a Beach resort?

Fat Coco A-One Hotel

Far greater minds than I know the answer. πŸ™‚

Now we are getting somewhere

Fat Coco A-One HotelI have always been of the belief, if it ain’t broke don’t fix it. That logic certainly does not apply here. πŸ™‚

What a fabulous locating

Fat Coco A-One HotelPattaya beach in all it’s glory.

Those trees have to go.

Fat Coco A-One HotelReplace them with concrete please. πŸ™‚

Bring in the excavators

Fat Coco A-One HotelThose palms will be “gone baby gone”.

Fat Coco A-One HotelAs you can see progress is being made.

Thats my condo in the background

Fat Coco A-One HotelI get an excellent view of the renovation from the 21st floor. 

We need some bamboo

Bamboo will certainly enhanse the tropical theme. πŸ™‚

Old cars Pattaya Beach

Old cars Pattaya Beach

Old cars Pattaya Beach

Old cars Pattaya Beach is a combination that will attract the crowds. In fact today March 21 2021 there were more visitors to Pattaya than I have seen for over a year. All over the world young guys love cool cars and hot babes. πŸ™‚

What a star this guy is. πŸ™‚

Old cars Pattaya Beach

This is a trend that is new to me, tacking a hunk of iron on the back of the beast. πŸ™‚

Old cars Pattaya Beach, is this attractive?

Old cars Pattaya Beach

Perhaps I’m missing something, but this hunk of metal does nothing to improve the look of the car, what do you think?

From a different angle

Old cars Pattaya Beach

No matter which way I look at it I’m finding it difficult to see the point. πŸ™‚

I’m a big fan of flash cars, take a look at THIS LINK to see what I used to drive.

This hot rod has about one inch of road clearance. πŸ™‚

Old cars Pattaya Beach

Obviously he would avoid any rough surfaces. πŸ™‚

The question is….

Old cars Pattaya Beach

How low can you go? πŸ™‚

Check out the fabulous cars at the Holiday Inn classic car show in 2016, just follow THIS LINK.

Here is number 2017

Old cars Pattaya Beach

Not sure what this number signifies. 

Mellow Yellow

Old cars Pattaya Beach

It’s certainly nice to see a crowd visit Pattaya on a Sunday morning.

Now here is a good looking beast

Old cars Pattaya Beach

Sadly I didn’t get what model it was.

This car may have been the cutting edge of technology.

Old cars Pattaya Beach

If it hit you it would cut you in half. πŸ™‚

That blue is a terrific colour

Old cars Pattaya Beach

It would certainly turn some heads.

Classic Car Friends Pattaya

Fat Coco Pattaya (noise machine)

December 31, 2019 by David Herd

Fat Coco Pattaya

Fat Coco PattayaFat Coco Pattaya is certainly a noise machine, a couple of days after they opened, on December 28, the music was excellent, one of the many bands actually had saxophones etc. The following night the quality diminished greatly, quite monotonous including a shrieking female presenter with a microphone.

Life is good…..

Fat Coco PattayaUnless of course you are a neighbour (which I am) or a hotel guest trying to sleep. πŸ™‚

Could this be the stairway to heaven?

Fat Coco Pattaya Probably not, but here is the song anyhow by Led Zeppelin, by the way it goes for 8 minutes. πŸ™‚

I like these colours

Fat Coco PattayaThe opposite side is not as attractive, then again, at night with the music blaring who would really care?

If you want to just lounge around & listen to the music….

Fat Coco PattayaThis is the place for you. πŸ™‚

Jimmy Buffet knows exactly what to do.

The stage

Fat Coco Pattaya Here is where the noise is manufactured. πŸ™‚

There’s an attractive rubber duck.

Fat Coco Pattaya It’s so important to have the right toys in a pool.

Another bar on the north side

Fat Coco Pattaya Not sure what the drink prices are, but they were charging a whopping B500 or $24 AUD to enter. I wonder how many Thai ladies will fork out 500. I also wonder if they are actually being charged that ridiculous amount. They can come to my room in Markland & listen for free. πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚

Here is my view

Tropical storm floods PattayaTrust me ladies the music is still very loud up here. This photo shows the pool area before it was transformed.

Fat Coco Pattaya

Fat Coco PattayaEven though they have been operating there is still some fine tuning to be done.

Cactus anyone?

Fat Coco PattayaJust don’t get too close if you have had too many tequilas. πŸ™‚

“Tequila” is a 1958 Latin-flavored rock and roll instrumental recorded by the Champs. It is based on a Cuban mambo beat. The word “Tequila” is spoken three times throughout the tune.

La vida es buena

Fat Coco PattayaOf course you all know this means “life is good” in Spanish.

Finally the food…

Fat Coco Pattaya Looks like wood fired pizzas to me.

Here is how it looked on Feb 16 2020.

Fat Coco PattayaOn the 15th they had an event which was widely advertised, for some crazy reason the entry fee was B800, or $40 AUD. In my opinion very few Thai people or foreigners would pay that inflated price. It turns out there were only around 20 people, & half of those would have been staff.

Two days later

Fat Coco PattayaThe wreaking crew moves in.

The cost so far must be very high

Fat Coco PattayaThey don’t seem to understand people are not stupid, they want value for money on a night out.

Here is the next project

Fat Coco Pattaya Let’s hope it has more success than Fat Coco, aka the noise machine. πŸ™‚

Swimming pool is re-born

Fat Coco Pattaya After the failure to attract a crowd they have done an about turn & bought back the swimming pool. The main reason for the failure was the entry fee of B800, or $40 AUD, nobody is prepared to pay such a ridiculous price.

Fat Coco Beach Club construction

Fat Coco Beach Club

Fat Coco Beach Club construction has been in progress for many months during 2019, many of the following photos have been taken from the 20th floor of Markland which overlooks the A-One Hotel. As you can see above it was just a normal swimming pool area.

Lets dig some holes they said…

Fat Coco Beach Club construction It will be an improvement they said. πŸ™‚

From ground level

Fat Coco Beach Club construction This was September 2019.

What a mess. πŸ™‚

Fat Coco Beach ClubThey work from very early in the morning until late at night.

September 12th, week 2.

Fat Coco Beach ClubStill too early to get an idea of their plans.

Concrete roof

Fat Coco Beach Club construction First they made a frame then set the concrete on top.

Raised platform

Fat Coco Beach Club constructionAdjacent to the footpath, perhaps if will provide privacy? Wh knows what they are planning.

It’s getting very confusing

Fat Coco Beach Club construction They have put dirt in the bottom of the pool, & those large white blocks are foam.

Foam being laid on top of the dirt.

Fat Coco Beach Club construction I have no idea why they are following this procedure. πŸ™‚

Chopping up the foam

Fat Coco Beach Club construction

 Hopefully I can find out about this method.

The bar I presume

Fat Coco Beach Club construction I’m betting the alcohol prices will be rather expensive. πŸ™‚

Fat Coco Beach Club construction They work on this structure to after 10 pm at night.

Lets thatch this gizmo. πŸ™‚

Fat Coco Beach Club construction Looks good.

Fat Coco Beach ClubParadise, I doubt, more like a noise factory. 

Houston, we have a problem…

Fat Coco Beach Club construction The noise factory is about to open, my advice to my neighbours in Markland, start getting quotes on double glazing. πŸ™‚

December 8 2019

Fat Coco Beach Club construction You can see a round shallow pool being built here.

Thatched canopy

Fat Coco Beach Club constructionNot sure, but this may be where the band sets up.

Pattaya Seafood Festival 2018

So much seafood & such little time.

Pattaya Seafood Festival 2018 Pattaya Seafood Festival 2018

Pattaya Seafood Festival 2018 was a noisy affair as usual. There is a bandstand on the beach which blasts very ordinary music until the early hours of the morning. My condo is on the 20th floor 400 meters away & the sound hits me full blast even with the door closed. πŸ™‚

In 2017 the food here was great so I decided to give it another whirl.

 Small but tasty

Pattaya Seafood Festival 2018

 I chose 2 dishes from their signature menu, the one above was fine at B159 or $5 USD.

 This one not so good.

The calamari was as tough as an old boot & the filling was very average indeed. I would have been better off at one of the smaller stalls.

Pattaya Leisure Wear Capital

February 20, 2018 by David Herd

Handsome men dressed to kill. πŸ™‚

Pattaya Leisure Wear  Capital

Pattaya Leisure Wear Capital

Pattaya Leisure Wear  Capital, generally when you think of state of the art fashion, Paris & Milan come to mind, however Pattaya is now throwing down a challenge, particularly in cutting edge beach haute couture as you can clearly see.

Be impressed, be very impressed.

Pattaya Leisure Wear Fashion Capital

Quite possibly a male model recently arrived from the catwalks of New York or London. Hoping to fly under the radar in Pattaya. 

A fashion breakthrough

Pattaya Leisure Wear Capital

Here’s proof the shorter man can still dazzle with the latest in sporting wear.

One of our local chick magnets

Pattaya Leisure Wear Fashion Capital

John Martin aka Pothole Bin Ladin is well known throughout Pattaya for dressing in this famous Jaffa outfit. Pictured here with club owner “Storming” Greg Clee who often uses Pothole as a “chick magnet” to attract top shelf ladies to work in his “go go” bar in Walking Street.

Storming likes to be called “Jack” after the beautiful Jacaranda tree that grew in a paddock near his home in South Australia,  under which he lost his virginity at 19 years of age to a buxom country girl who wouldn’t take no for an answer. πŸ™‚

Pattaya Leisure Wear  Capital presenting one last shot of Pothole 

Pattaya Leaiure Wear Fashion Capital

Casual yet in some ways formal, he is considering another tattoo, saying my name is Baht, but you can call me Plenty. πŸ™‚

Some people say….

Pattaya Leisure Wear Capital

To hell with Pattaya Leisure Wear  Capital, I’m just going to drive the babes crazy.

How much more proof do you need?

Pattaya Leisure Wear Capital

Magnificent colour coordination.

Walmart or Calvin Klein?

Pattaya Leisure Wear Capital

Difficult to decide, this spectacular outfit simply underscores Pattaya’s claim to be the men’s fashion capital of the world. Not too sure if the blue chapeau with the jaffa shoes is the right choice. πŸ™‚

Le chapeau really highlights this sophisticated outfit.

Pattaya Leisure Wear Capital

Pattaya Leisure Wear  Capital is rather obvious from this suave sophisticated ensemble.

Clever color coordination

Pattaya Leisure Wear Capital

A stroke of genius to add the backpack & blue Crocs to blend in delightfully with this casual travel outfit.

Style?

Pattaya Leisure Wear Capital

In fact he has more style than a rat with a gold tooth.

The orange ensemble or the yellow.

Pattaya Leisure Wear Capital

A shoppers nightmare, both outfits are fabulous, only real solution is to buy both.

The return of the Do Rag

Pattaya Leisure Wear Capital

This sun tanning Adonis cleverly matches his do rag to his towel, and along with his mankini he manages to show off his magnificent physique to it’s best advantage.

While on the subject of Do Rags

Pattaya Leisure Wear Fashion Capital

This mature chick magnet has dressed a little more upmarket than some of the previous male models featured in my Pattaya Leisure Wear Fashion Capital photo blog.

This guy has more style than a rat with a gold tooth.

Pattaya Leisure Wear Fashion Capital

 One thing I notice in Pattaya the girls always seem to go for the snappy dresser. 

Fashion at its peak.

Pattaya Leisure Wear Capital

 Let’s just call him Mr Suave.

But wait, there’s more.

Pattaya Leisure Wear Capital

 Mr Suave is back, notice the ever so subtle difference in his cutting edge fashion statement.

Lagerfeld or Walmart?

Pattaya Leisure Wear Capital

An Australian senior citizen visiting the Atlantic bar in Pattaya is determined to make an impression on the ladies. This was February 19 2019 the day Karl Otto Lagerfeld sadly past away. The shirt above & the passing of Karl have absolutely no connection whatsoever.

Atlantic Bar high fashion.

Pattaya Leisure Wear Capital

 If you really want to impress the ladies just ask this man for fashion tips.

A fashion icon

  Pattaya Leisure Wear Capital

It would be difficult to find an outfit more attractive than this one. πŸ™‚

A one sock pony

Pattaya Leisure Wear  CapitalAnother fashion statement.

Very stylish

Pattaya Leisure Wear  Capital

In fact, more style than a rat with a gold tooth. πŸ™‚

It’s finally finished.

The finished product sits between Soi 5 & Soi 6, you can clearly see the North Shore condo building in Soi 5.

Of course Soi 6 is the wildest street in Pattaya, at night it really goes mad. To see what I mean just follow THIS LINK.

First tennants

Pattaya Beach Road fast foodStarbucks & McDonald’s were the first, who would have guessed. πŸ™‚ Now Boots chemist are there & soon a large Korean shop will open.

I’m a regular at Starbucks for breakfast, here you can see the lovely Starbucks girls presenting me with a croissant & candle on my birthday.

This post highlights the interesting things I see on Beach Road every day, just follow THIS LINK.
