Pattaya Fireworks Food Crocodiles

Pattaya Fireworks Food Crocodiles were all on display the weekend of November 27 & 28. Thousands of Thai people headed for the beach for lots of food & two nights of noisy fireworks.

Dine on crocodile

It tastes like chicken, with a mildly fishy flavor, and is often chewy, depending on preparation. I’m told it tastes like chicken, with a mildly fishy flavor, and is often chewy, depending on preparation. Maybe one day I’ll try it. 🙂

Look out here it comes

Being so close the noise is deafening. 🙂

Always spectacular

Also very noisy indeed. 🙂

These guys are only around 80 meters from the drop zone.

Time for some food

The quale looks delicious

I remember many years ago living in Sydney, quale was a favourite dish of mine at a popular restaurant in Leichardt.

The food stalls look terrific.

A couple of years ago the council banned alcohol sales along Beach Rd.

Quite an amazing variety of food

These Thai vendors really work hard to provide good food to the thousands of people watching the fireworks on the beach.

Two nights in Pattaya

Then they pack up & leave.

It was so good to see the thousands of people (90% Thai) gathering in this seaside city with all the Covid-19 problems that have destroyed so many jobs & businesses.

Witherspoons corner Beach Rd & Pattaya Klang

Rarely do you see many customers in this new Beach Rd bar, however it was a great spot to watch the fireworks.

My history, particularly over the last 30 years is dominated by overseas travel. I sold my home in Australia October 20th 2011 and have have been living in Thailand since then. I don’t know where the time has gone? It seems like you go to sleep one night, wake up the next morning, and 20 years have flashed by. Not sure how many years I have left, however I have enjoyed a wonderful charmed life, and if it all ended today I would leave this world with no regrets. I was born in Sydney halfway through the last century, started my travels in the 60s with the usual U.K. Europe adventure at the age of 20, back to Australia and worked in Sydney, Melbourne & Adelaide in Sales & Marketing with multinational companies including Sanyo, Canon & Remington. Engaged to be married 3 times and never quite made it to the alter, finally realized by the mid 90s I was not cut out for "long term relationships" so I moved to the Gold Coast in Queensland in January 1987, worked for a couple of banks as a Financial Planner, I took a year off work in 1998 to travel and never went back to full time work again, after 25 fun filled years on the Coast I packed up and moved to Thailand. What is the purpose of this blog? Well I really want to use it to record my travel experiences & to display my photographs, give and receive travel tips, comment on places I visit, restaurants I eat in and use it to replace the autobiography I intended to write, apart from all that it helps me fill in my day. :) I moved to Thailand mainly because I wanted to keep travelling while my health allowed me to, there are huge advantages being closer to all the places I want to visit. Cost of living in Thailand is around 35% of the cost in Australia, plus flights are 50% cheaper because you are much closer to everywhere. ???? Consequently I am able to travel to many more places compared to living in Australia. Having said all that, it is & has always been my intention to return to Australia when my travelling is finished, I predict this will happen around 2021.
