Hot pink music machine.
For those who like a little noise.
Looks like the truck got a makeover in 2014
Pink, orange & now blue.
I think they are the same beast with a different paint job.
Check out the look on his wife’s face.
This is a classic, the husband is impressed, the wife is thinking “if you keep staring at her you will be in big trouble mister”. 👿
Very difficult for a lady to get any privacy in Pattaya.
There is nothing like a relaxing bath.
Another bathing beauty in Soi 3
Just beside the Cherry Bar on the corner of Soi 3 & 2nd Road Grandfather cooks while the little one takes a bath.
Against the traffic on a busy one way street.
Hi ho hi ho it’s off to work we go. 🙂
Precision engineering?
Nothing surprises me in Thailand. 😆
Same scene 2 years later in August 2015
Two things have changed, a lot of sand has disappeared and been replaced by rubbish.
The sea was angry that day my friends.
Pardon me for borrowing a line from Seinfeld.
Lady-Boy? you can’t be serious?
My two friends from Australia had their photo taken in Walking St with the most beautiful Lady-Boy I have ever seen in the 33 years I have been coming to Pattaya.
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. Follow THIS LINK for more cutting edge fashion.
Anyone fancy a frog kebab?
If the weird sights have not put you off, get a great hotel deal through AGODA.
Sleeping rough in Pattaya.
Sleeping off a big night.
Sleeping peacefully
Beach Rd at 9am January 9 2021, not a care in the world. 🙂
I guess it was time to throw in a photo of some of the girls who used to work at my local Cherry bar, Jaeb,Jan & Anne. This shot goes back to 2009 however they have all moved on now.
Fast asleep at 9.30 am
She obviously had a tough night but can still strike a pose while asleep.
The sun only shines on certain people
Living in Markland condo on beach road is the perfect place to watch the beautiful sunsets.
Chinese tourists
OK, you are a Chinese tourist in Pattaya, you want your wife to shave all the unsightly hair off your back. Just pick a busy Mezzo coffee shop and tell the other customers to like it or lump it.
Photo shoot in Soi 6
Thai girls love to dress up, however in this group I can see at least 2 LadyBoys. 🙂
The look on her face says it all.
Forget that bitch, I’m prettier.
The highly skilled whistleblower
I have a suggestion for the Thai tourist authority, many tourists, particularly from China don’t understand & are confused by highly skilled complex whistle blowing. A 20 minute lesson at the airport on arrival would clear up this confusion. 🙂

The prancing Pothole.
No, this has not been photo-shopped, it’s a real person, it’s our resident lunatic John Martin aka Pothole. I have known him for over 20 years and in that time have noticed the gradual deterioration in his erratic behaviour. He probably provides a large % of my entertainment here in Pattaya, which is much appreciated. In many ways he is a role model, the antithesis of everything you do not want to be or become. 😆
Think about this scenario, earlier this year after receiving his well deserved reward for Thailand’s “most dysfunctional family” I imagine Pothole Martin could give this interview to the the local paper;
Long before I abandoned all hope I had a dream that one of my sons would compete in the Olympics. I never new what sport would suit until the birth of my youngest child. Recently when I heard that “crying & screaming” was to be included in in the Tokyo Olympics and I knew my time had come.
I have actually been training young Tyrone since birth, his mother & I spent up to 5 hours each day screaming at each other knowing this would form a vital part of his future personality. We knew we had a winner from the moment his slipped out of his mother’s hands and fell on his head on the concrete floor, his piercing screams all the way to the hospital inspired me to continue his training.
I am well qualified to coach him as I have cried in front of detectives at North Sydney police station in Australia on a number of occasions, and have screamed in many of Pattaya’s top hotels & restaurants. Please also remember that being irresponsible is not as easy as I make it out to be.
Finally, you are most welcome to view my training sessions, just meet me at any shopping center when I have the children with me, or better still ride in the car while they are in the back shrieking & screaming at a championship level.
I have recently developed a very good “low impact” training exercise called “weeping and whaling”, I use it on a daily basis in front of my bathroom mirror each morning. For some reason the image staring back at me tends to encourage both the weeping and the whaling.
Pothole’s Squabblers, Tiger & Tyrone aka Chang.
Terrific kids with a crazy father. 😳

Perched high on Beach Rd
Pattaya is a great town for seeing funny unusual sites, it was 7 pm at night & this lady was perched 3 meters above the ground beside the excavator texting her heart out. 
Thanks for visiting my Strange amusing sights Pattaya Beach photo blog.

It isn’t too tricky to figure out, just watch out for the destination on the front of the train and you’ll be fine. 
Every city worth visiting hosts a wealth of companies offering free walking tours and London is no exception. They’re by far the best way to see the city: they’re free (though it is always polite to leave a tip for the guide), it gives you a better sense of direction and it provides some exercise in the fresh London air. Why spend £20 on an open-top bus tour when you can burn off the fish and chips from the night before, admiring the beauty of Buckingham Palace?
Even if you’re not the biggest drinker, it’s still worthwhile basking in the quintessential English atmosphere that consumes a London pub. If you are into your alcohol, most pubs will pride themselves on their selection of booze, ranging from pale ales to exotic cocktails. For the more sociable visitors that are planning on making friends with the locals on your visit, the pub is your best option. Brits quickly open up once they have a cold pint in their hand.
London can be a touch pricey, especially if you’re booking your hotel at the last moment. Make sure you’re prepared well ahead of time – saving money before you go creates some more funds to splash on a fancy dinner in Covent Garden. Don’t worry if you still haven’t found your perfect place to stay, there are plenty of companies designed to give you a helping hand with your search. Think of all the extra souvenirs you’ll be able to bring home.
