Pattaya is a city in Thailand, a beach resort popular with tourists and expatriates. It is located on the east coast of the Gulf of Thailand, about 100 kilometres (62 mi) southeast of Bangkok. Bookmark Webcam Beach Road Pattaya Thailand so you can check out the weather anytime you wish.

Best Pattaya Beach Thailand Webcam

Pattaya Beach live webcam only shows you a small part of this great holiday location.  Pattaya is a city of extremes, anything your heart desires is available here, from fabulous five star hotels & restaurants to down & dirty backstreet beer bars offering sex drugs & rock & roll. OK, so we admit there is sex in the city but there is so much more to this wonderful seaside resort, four million tourists each year can’t be wrong. Only 90 minutes south of Bangkok airport and thousands of miles from stress.

Thanks for visiting my Best Pattaya Beach Thailand Webcam blog, this is by far the best web cam on the the coast. Please bookmark the link and come back again soon.

Bookmark this Pattaya beach-cam so you can check out Pattaya beach anytime you wish.

Five Star hotels in Pattaya overlooking Pattaya beach are The Amari, The Holiday InnThe Hilton & the Dusit. Amari has the nicest grounds & pool area + the magnificent Mantra restaurant, the Hilton is above an upmarket shopping mall & is the most central, Holiday Inn has the best pizzas, the Dusit in North Pattaya has the best Dim Sum. 

Without a doubt AGODA is the best online Hotel booking site.

Please remember what you have probably already read in the press, hiring a jet ski is flirting with danger, 80% of the operators are running scams, when you return the ski they will claim you have damaged it and try to extort huge sums of money from you. Sadly many police are part of these scams as well, they will pretend they are on your side and negotiate the asking price down from say 60,000 Baht ($2,000) to 20,000 Baht, in Thailand unfortunately they have turned corruption into an art form. However it is no worse than Indonesia, India or Brazil, so just be careful.

First trip Pattaya 1980

May 29, 2014 by David Herd

First trip Pattaya 1980

First trip Pattaya 1980

First trip Pattaya Thailand March 1980

First trip Pattaya 1980 with my good friend Rob Symonds. We stayed at the Royal Cliff Hotel which had only been open for 2 years. The photo of the long-tail boat in the header was taken in May 2014 however the fishing boats in 1980 were virtuously the same design, as you will see in this post.

Pattaya Thailand March 1980 was like visiting a sleepy fishing village. Even before the start of the Vietnam War, American GIs had put Pattaya on the map as the best beach destination to unwind and indulge. But when large numbers of troops began to arrive at the neighbouring Ban Sattahip Air Base in 1968, things really picked up in Pattaya. Also known as U-Tapao International Airport, the army base at Sattahip was heavily staffed and used by the US Air Force throughout the Vietnam conflict.

Prior to jet skis

First trip Pattaya Thailand March 1980

Notice that well before jet skis the little speed boats were powered by a 25 hp engine.

It all started when a group of 500 American soldiers stationed at the military base in Korat were driven to Pattaya on 29th June 1959 for a week of rest and relaxation (R&R). They rented several houses at the southern end of the beach from a prominent Thai, Lord Sunthorn, thus opening Pandora’s Box for this sleepy fishing village. Despite their short stay, the GIs had a great time and raved about the place. The word spread among other American soldiers stationed in the region and Pattaya quickly became a hot alternative to the concrete sprawl of Bangkok.

Where are the deck chairs?

First trip Pattaya Thailand March 1980

The beach was very natural on my first trip to Pattaya in in 1980, hardly any deck chairs & umbrellas.

Sexy Phuket LadyBoys

May 21, 2014 by David Herd

Sexy Phuket LadyBoys & Thai girls when I was there with my friend John Sinclair in July 2005. This was only 6 months after the Tsunami disaster that took so many lives.

OK, lets start with the LadyBoys

Sexy Phuket LadyBoys

Sexy Phuket LadyBoys & Thai girls, it is amazing how many transgenders there are in Thailand where society totally accepts them without question or prejudice. Kathoey or katoey is a Thai term that refers to either a transgender woman or an effeminate gay male in Thailand. While a significant number of Thais perceive kathoeys as belonging to a third gender, including many kathoeys themselves, others see them as either a kind of man or a kind of woman. Related phrases include sao (or phuying) praphet song (Thai: สาวประเภทสอง,”a second kind of woman”) and phet thi sam (Thai: เพศที่สาม, “third gender”). The word kathoey is of Khmer origin. It is most often rendered as ladyboy or lady boy in English conversation with Thais and this latter expression has become popular across South East Asia.

You are looking the wrong way John.

Sexy Phuket LadyBoys

My friend John seems to be enjoying himself way too much. 🙂 Ladyboys really are quite prominent in Thailand and are seemingly accepted by society, not only in the cities but in the countrysides as well. It seems as though it is the relaxed attitude of acceptance and tolerance in Buddhism that keeps people from shunning their lifestyles, although many other Buddhist countries are not as willing to accept a ladyboy living their life in public. Thai Buddhism specifically does not regard homosexuality as a sin and has no specific prohibitions regarding their lifestyle. Though Kathoey continually face discrimination they are gaining acceptance and have made themselves a very distinct part of the Thai society; however, they still have not yet attained equal status with those who are not transgender. There are many restrictions that come with the identity, one being the inability to marry someone of the same sex, another not being able to officially change their birth sex on birth certificates or passports.

Now I’m really worried about him

Sexy Phuket LadyBoys

Perhaps I should rush off and grab a bucket of cold water to throw on him, then again the LadyBoys would probably beat me to death. 🙂

4 Non Blondes - What's Up (Official Music Video)

Lets move the emphasis to the female of the species

Sexy Phuket LadyBoys

Thailand is famous for the girly bars, discos & pole dancing, you don’t have to go to Nana Plaza in Bangkok as the main street in Patong offers quite a large selection of places where you can get into all sorts of trouble.

The one on the left we nick-named the Bull-ant.

Sexy Phuket LadyBoys

The one on the left we nick-named the Bull-ant because she was so feisty and confident, the girl on the right had a bandaged knee obviously due to falling off a motorbike which is a common occurrence in Thailand.

What, no smile?

Sexy Phuket LadyBoys

This girl was absolutely gorgeous, and yes she did look so much better when she smiled.

Some big smiles here.

Sexy Phuket LadyBoys

I think my friend John was asking a question here, “what time can we start having fun”?

And the answer is………right now big boy 🙂

Sexy Phuket LadyBoys

Say no more.

What a beautiful face

Sexy Phuket LadyBoys

This girl was a beautiful tourist from London so I bought her a couple of drinks just so I could gaze at that face for 30 minutes or so. 🙂

Bright lights in Patong

Sexy Phuket LadyBoys

Not as much action as Walking St Pattaya, not not too bad.

OK, lets get back to the LadyBoys

Sexy Phuket LadyBoys

My friend John is at it again.

Come back big boy, I make you happy.

Sexy Phuket LadyBoys

At this stage John was in full retreat, and my faith was restored in him. 🙂

We always stay at the Patong Bay Garden Resort or The Thara Resort

Sexy Phuket Thai girls LadyBoys

This hotel is by far the best spot right on the beach in Patong.

We really need to have another look at “The Bull-Ant”

Sexy Phuket LadyBoys

It’s very hard not to have fun in Thailand, thousands of beautiful are on hand to make sure you do. I actually live in Pattaya just south of Bangkok but I always enjoy visiting the islands, Phuket, Koh Samui & Koh Chang.

A typical Thai comment

Sexy Phuket LadyBoys

Bye bye handsome, please come back soon.

Pattaya Beach Road morning Ballet

April 30, 2014 by David Herd

Morning exercise

Pattaya Beach Road morning Ballet

Pattaya Beach Road morning Ballet

Pattaya Beach Road morning Ballet may be a slight exaggeration, however there is enough material along this stretch for a director to produce 10 ballets. Every morning I walk along Pattaya beach and marvel at the unusual sights, it surely is a page out of life’s rich tapestry.

I walk every day along the beach and take in the sights, have breakfast, read the Bangkok Post then walk back home.

 My condo Markland on Pattaya Beach Rd.

Pattaya Beach Road morning Ballet

I live on the 20th floor of this condo on Pattaya Beach Rd with an incredible sea view. Bookmark my webcam link and check out Pattaya beach 24/7.

Babushkas at the beach

Pattaya Beach Road morning Ballet

Sometimes you come across some glamorous beach babes, sadly these two don’t qualify in that category.

Does smoking keep your weight down?

Pattaya Beach Road morning Ballet

 Super models sometimes smoke to control their weight, clearly in this case it has not worked.

Some Russian eye candy

Pattaya Beach Road morning Ballet

Ok, that’s more like it. 🙂


Seagull sculpture on Beach Rd.

Pattaya Beach Road morning Ballet

Strangely enough I have never seen a seagull on Pattaya Beach Rd, lots of pigeons but no seagulls.

Some shade at the beach

Pattaya Beach Road morning Ballet

April & May are the two hottest months in Thailand, it is also the time when tides are very low so the beach looks so much better with more sand showing.

Every morning they head for Koh Larn.

Pattaya Beach Road morning Ballet

Many hundreds of tourists take the boats out to Koh Larn for a day at the beach, most of them return very sunburnt.

Pattaya Beach Road morning Ballet featuring the three Amigos

  How cool are these guys?  

Pattaya Beach Road morning Ballet

Pattaya Beach Road morning Ballet

    Most morning I tale a 25 minute walk to see the latest Pattaya Beach Road Ballet.

Wot! No chairs or umbrellas?

Pattaya Beach Road morning Ballet

    At last there are some sections of the beach without umbrellas, chairs or greedy unfriendly vendors. Not all of them are unfriendly but many are. There are still lots of umbrellas those people like me who don’t want to sit in the direct sun.  

Beach repairs after the storms  

Pattaya Beach Road morning Ballet

It’s a never ending job repairing the beach in the wet season.

Para sailing

Pattaya Beach Road morning Ballet

Personally I would not do this because I don’t trust the Thai boat drivers, there are always a few people killed each year due to their incompetence.

Hi ho, hi ho, its off to work we go.

Pattaya Beach Road morning Ballet

  It really doesn’t matter they are travelling the wrong way in a one way street, after all this is Pattaya Beach Rd.

New shopping centre between Soi 5 & 6. 

Pattaya Beach Road morning Ballet

It’s called the Bay & after many months only 2 tenants have moves in. Starbucks & McDonalds.

Magnificent tree

  Make sure you check out the Beach Club at the Pulman Hotel

Pattaya Beach Road morning Ballet 

One of the reasons I like the Beach club is………..

Pattaya Pattaya Song Pattaya Nightlife Thai Girls

Pattaya is certainly a unique part of the world.

  Hats for Sale

Pattaya Beach Road morning Ballet

Every morning they sell to the Chinese tourists.

Stretching on Beach Road north Pattaya.

Traffic jam at 8 am August 22 2015

Pattaya Beach Road morning Ballet

The busses are bringing Chinese tourists to the beach where they crawl aboard the waiting boats to go para-sailing & visit Koh Larn. Since the August 17 bombing in Bangkok and the Shanghai share-market plunge, now in September 2015 it seems the tourists numbers from China have fallen by up to 50%.   However now in 2016 they are back in force.

Boat to Koh Larn

Pattaya Beach Road morning Ballet

Every day of the year thousands of Chinese tourists head for the boats. This one is grossly overpowered, around 750 HP.

Selfie on Pattaya Beach

Pattaya Beach Road morning Ballet

A females favourite pastime, when too many selfies is never enough. 🙂

More exercise on Beach Rd

Pattaya Beach Road morning Ballet

Good to see the lad and his father wearing crash helmets, riding on the footpath can be quite dangerous when selfish pedestrians think they have “right of way”. 🙂

Sabai Wing Soi 1 North Pattaya

Sabai Wing Soi 1, 3 swimming pools and nice rooms, 100 meters from BigC, great value at only $30 usd per night as of August 15. I live in the high-rise in the background, Markland. For a great room rate book here.

Jet Ski scammers

Pattaya Beach Road morning Ballet

 Along the Beach Road in Pattaya, often between Soi 10 and Soi 13/4 (entrance to Walking Street), Thai Jet Ski touts will approach the tourist. Most likely time to witness the scam unfolding would be between 5pm – 5:30pm as it is getting dark. Particularly outside Mike Shopping Mall, Royal Garden Plaza, and Soi 13/2 to Soi 13/4. The tourist is required to sign a contract with the Jet Ski operators before they board the Jet Ski and have their fun. Cost is around 700 baht ($20) for thirty minutes. When the tourist returns to the beach the Thai Jet Ski operator will board the Jet Ski and bring it up on to the beach. Here is where the scam starts, as they (theatrically and dramatically) point out the damage and demand that the tourist pay for it, typically ranging anywhere from 30,000 baht ($950) to 70,000 baht ($2,200), but it can be 100,000 baht ($3,180) and up. Of course this damage (deep scrapes on the underside of the Jet Ski, scratches to the paintwork, or a broken plastic bumper) has been there all the time. Often, if not most times, it is a group of tourists that are scammed. More people, more money.

If they use the version of the scam where the tourist boards the Jet Ski when it is already submerged in the water, thus hiding the damage that is already on the underside, the scammers don’t need to cover the damaged areas. The damage is revealed once they bring it on to the shore after the tourist has rented it. More government warnings etc here.  

Be careful, you have been warned.

 

Bangkok Post September 9th 2015

At the emergency meeting in August 2015, Pol. Maj. Piyapong was reported in local media saying that his office received numerous complaints from scam victims that first went to the Pattaya police station only to be ignored. The same press reports also showed that, as far back as 2011, Pattaya mayor Itthiphol Kunpleum said Pattaya’s police were part of the jet ski problem, with corrupt officers assisting scammers… I hope you can now understand what I mean when I call it Pattaya Beach Rd ballet. 🙂

Babushkas Bikinis Pattaya beach

February 11, 2014 by David Herd

Ain’t over till the fat lady sings. 🙂

Babushkas Bikinis Pattaya beach

Babushkas Bikinis Pattaya beach

Babushkas Bikinis Pattaya beach is obviously a “tongue in cheek” look at some very overweight European ladies enjoying the beautiful Thailand sunshine. Please don’t be offended, it is simply part of life’s rich pageant, if you want to see some more glamorous beach babes have a look at my Brazilian post or Russian post.

Feel the sand between your toes

Babushkas Bikinis Pattaya beach

The girls are about to hit the surf, correction, when they dive in they will create the surf.  😆

Smoking used for weight control

Babushkas Bikinis Pattaya beach

I am told many super models smoke to help keep their weight under control, clearly in this case it has not worked.


Cosy beach Babushkas

Babushkas Bikinis Pattaya beach

Cosy beach used to be a magnet for Russian Babushkas, there are about 100 steps to get down to the beach so it’s no easy task for them.

Babushka eye candy

Sexy girls in brief bikinis are a traffic hazard here in Pattaya, motorists take their eyes off the road to admire the passing parade. Live webcam from my balcony at Markland overlooking Pattaya beach in Thailand.

Kantary Hotel Kabinburi Golf

January 30, 2014 by David Herd

Kantary Hotel Kabinburi

Kantary Hotel Kabinburi Golf Course

Kantary Hotel Kabinburi Golf

Kantary Hotel Kabinburi Golf Course is rather special, particularly if you are a golfer. The standard of the hotel is fantastic & the golf package can’t be beat. For 3000 Baht or $90 usd, which sadly is now $104 aud, you get 2 18 hole rounds of golf on the magnificent Kabinburi Sport Club which proudly boasts of being the longest course in Thailand. Add to that one nights accommodation & breakfast included, makes this the best value golf package in Thailand.

If that was not enough the three of us were all upgraded to a wonderful one bedroom suite which is the best hotel accommodation I have ever seen anywhere in the country.

One bedroom suite

Super value at Kantary Hotel Kabinburi.

The kantary hotel has excellent food and a nice selection of wine. Imported Australian beef was cooked to perfection & washed down with the house wine from South Africa. There is also a Japanese & Chinese menu as well, however the Chinese may only be on offer for their lunar new year.

Without a doubt AGODA is the best online Hotel booking site.

Lets talk about the golf course.

Kantary Hotel Kabinburi Golf

The longest course is quite magnificent, very tough for hackers like myself but an excellent workout for the more skilled golfers. 6652 yards long from the white tees up to a monster 8075 from the championship tees. The condition of the course is quite remarkable, by far the best fairways I have ever played on, and the greens are groomed beautifully. If you enjoy your golf the Kabinburi Sport Club is a must to play, make sure you book the hotel package for the best value.

Beautiful bougainvillea decorates many of the greens and there is plenty of water waiting to gobble up your brand new golf balls.

 I spent so much time in the sand traps on the back nine my friends were calling me Lawrence of Arabia.

Brad lines up a long putt.

The greens were perfect, very fast but fairly easy to read, of course the caddies make putting an easier task as they know them backwards. This photo gives you an idea of just how perfect the greens are.

Thailand amazing street food culture is a great way to eat, very cheap and lots of choices. This market in 2nd rd North Pattaya is only 5 minutes walk from my condo.

Prawns & scallops.

Really well cooked fresh food, these two dishes cost me 300 Baht or $10.

So many decisions to make.  🙄

Thailand amazing street food

The Thai people have taken street cooking to an art form. Most Thai’s in fact eat out on the street rather than cook at home.

Thailand amazing street food, more seafood

Too much seafood is never enough. 🙂

Fantastic ribs

There are always one or two bars in every market so you won’t go thirsty.  😆

Plastic chairs, but who cares?

This is one of my favourite snacks, 30 Baht or $1, great value & a great taste. Thailand street food at it’s best.

Perhaps bugs are more your style?

Thailand amazing street food

Thailand street food comes in all forms however I must admit I still can’t convince myself to eat bugs or insects.

Frog kebabs, delicious.

Ok I’m exaggerating here, this is another meal I have not been brave enough to sample this Thailand street food. Please click on Google + to help my page ranking. 

The pig arrives on a bike.

Each night outside my local bar in Soi 3 North Pattaya  the pig arrives on a motorbike.

Sometimes there are 2 pigs

Two pigs are better than one. 🙂

Try this Thailand amazing street food if you dare.

I’m fairly sure most Thai people have their taste buds removed at an early age, some of these dishes are so spicy Self-immolation can start within 3 seconds of your first mouth full.  😳

Rimpa Lapin

Pattaya Thailand beach side food wine

One of the best places for Pattaya beach side dining is Rimpa Lapin. Perched on the side of a cliff this multi level Thai restaurant with beautiful garden offers very good food at reasonable prices. It is actually a 25 minute journey from Pattaya, we usually hire a mini bus for 1000 Baht or $30, he takes us there, waits a couple of hours while we eat then drives us back home.

On the way in the mini bus.

A very popular restaurant.

Dinner on the beach at the Glasshouse.

Pattaya Thailand beach side food wine

Let me tell you 3 rules to follow in Thailand. (1) Never give a Thai lady a microphone in a department store. She will screech loudly so she can be heard 2 kilometres away. (2) Never give a Thai man a uniform & a whistle in a car park. He takes on such an air of self importance he will send you around the bend with shrill non stop whistling. (3) Finally never ask a Thai lady to order the food at a restaurant if she knows you are paying. There will be three times more food than you can eat.

Three times more food than we could eat

Pattaya beach side dining

Ok, we broke rule number 3.  😆

This little gem is just a couple of kms north of the Glasshouse, I had an Aussie pie at this quaint little lay-back beach bar at Na Jomtien. The pie & the red wine was Ok, the beer was cold, perhaps the service left a bit to be desired, but totally in keeping with the casual atmosphere, certainly no complaints from anyone in our group.
