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

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

Artists impression of Pattaya Beach

The trees are all in a very straight line. 🙂

Meanwhile back at the ranch…..

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

These people are lodging aa complaint.

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

Many of these trees are over 60 years old.

That’s the Dusit Hotel in the background.

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.

Encroaching on the beach.

This shot will give you an idea how much beach will be lost.

Waiting instructions

The team is ready to go. 🙂

Foundation is laid

Now they are making real progress.

Thanks for visiting my Pattaya Beach remodel photo blog, I’ll add more relevant photos in the coming months.

Living with Covid-19

June 25, 2021 by David Herd

Living with Covid-19

Living with Covid-19 in the first six months of 2021 makes me feel like I am just treading water. It many ways life is good, it’s very peaceful in Pattaya without tourists. The downside is not being able to travel & having friends & family who can’t visit me in Thailand.

In fact for the last year or so it feels like I have just been treading water.

A surprise addition to Pattaya

This monster is parked adjacent to Soi 6, plans are to turn it into a tourist food destination. Progress has stopped due to Covid.

Good value in Soi Buakhao

Cheap Charlies is a very popular restaurant, breakfast starts at B89, or $4.84 AUD.

A super breakfast

Robin Hood Tavern is the only place I know that offers avocado which is a perfect breakfast for me. 🙂

A-One hotel sidewalk food.

Very good dumplings for B50, or just over $2 AUD.

Fiber optic internet

Check out the fabulous speed, my old signal was 32 down & 11 up.

A-One hotel

A big renovation has been in progress for the last six months, however I think the original looked much better.

A-One hotel from my balcony

This mob just like to spend a ton of money unnecessarily. 🙂

New hotel between Soi 2 & Soi 3

There is no hurry to finish this project as Thailand’s hotel industry has been devastated by Covid-19. In May & June the average occupancy rate is only 6%.

Farewell Pothole aka John Martin

This is the evening before Pothole Bin Laden travelled to Australia in early June for a 2 year stay to qualify for the Australian aged pension.

Pothole arrives on the Gold Coast

Here he is with his sister & niece, he is obviously feeling the cold in a mild Gold Coast winter. 🙂

Oyster frenzy at Patrick’s Belgian Steakhouse.

My friend Hamish & his lovely wife May are with an always smiling Jamie Lord.

The rest of the mob at Patrick’s.

Certainly one of our favourite restaurant, for more shots please check out THIS LINK.

The view from my balcony, how lucky am I?

See for yourself, just check out my webcam on THIS LINK.

I love seeing a storm roll in over Pattaya Bay from my condo.

Once again if you bookmark THIS LINK you can see the bay on my webcam.

Soi 33 Naklua

Obviously there is a big project about to begin here. This is opposite Leckerle one of my favourite restaurants.

Luca is the owner of Toscana restaurant on Beach Rd.

A very interesting guy who hails from Pisa, I caught up with him one morning for coffee. Here are some shots of his great restaurant.

There is always time for a pedicure

Only B150, or $6.30 AUD, if you want to know more about the cost of living in Pattaya just follow THIS LINK.

Jasmine’s Cafe in Pattaya Klang

Excellent low cost food for breakfast, lunch or dinner.

Some of the dishes at Jasmine

Located between Beach Rd & 2nd Rd. Check out more of their dishes on

My new chair

The old one finally collapsed under my 112 Kilo weight. Having said that I have been making an effort to lose some weight. Since the new year I have dropped 6 Kilos down to 106.

There is always a building being demolished in Pattaya

This is in Soi 1 right opposite my condo.

Cottage Pie at the Sportsman Pub & Restaurant in Soi 13

Another excellent venue for very good food.

Finally Pattaya Beach is deserted

I have lived here 10 years & this is the quietest I have ever seen the beach.

Food handouts for the Thai people

Sadly there are many people struggling to survive in the pandemic, daily food handouts are a great help for them.

OK, I’m ready for the next 6 months. 🙂

Lets hope by Xmas Thai & Australian borders will be open.

It’s very sad to see so many businesses close their doos due to Covid-19, please see more on THIS LINK.

Thanks for visiting my Living with Covid-19 photo blog, let’s keep our fingers crossed that this awful virus will soon be behind us. This article sums up my first six months of 2021.

Ten Years in Thailand

May 14, 2021 by David Herd

Ten Years in Thailand

Ten Years in Thailand from 2011 to 2021, including friends & family who have made an impact on my life. The first 9 were great before Covid-19 hit with a vengeance & people could no longer travel freely between countries.

The photo above was taken in the carpark next to the Sabai Resort in 2011 featuring Tony & Nikki Murphy, my brother Warren & a couple of Thai babes. 🙂

2021 Pothole’s farewell drinks

Pothole aka John martin has spent a small fortune in the 12 years he has lived in Pattaya. Consequently he has to spend the next 2 years in Australia to qualify for the aged pension. Predictively he lasted 3 months & returned to the land of smiles.

How lucky am I?

This is the magnificent view from my condo on Beach Road.

Pattaya in all its glory

Home to around 100,000 people.

Farewell for now

Thanks for visiting my Ten Years in Thailand photo blog, I look forward to the end of the Covid crisis so we can all enjoy life as we previously knew it.

Aussie Expat Pattaya Thailand

April 10, 2021 by David Herd

Aussie Expat Pattaya

Aussie Expat Pattaya Thailand, my 10th year living the dream, life is very easy here & costs me around 40% compared with living in Australia. People often ask about the life here so I thought I would put some details together, at the end of the day a picture is worth a thousand words. 🙂 The photo above is the view from my condo, I’m on the 20th floor of Markland which is one the corner of Beach Rd & Soi 1. I was paying B18,000 pm currently the rent has been discounted to B15,000 due to Covid 19. This equals $625 AUD.

There will be lots of links in this post for you to follow to other blogs.

Aussie friends at Terminal 21

Shane, Bill & Greg all came over for dental work, you pay about 1/2 of what you would in Australia. In November 2019 one of these guys had these procedures, 1 x Implant – 1 x Root canal – 2 x removals and a complete clean which took 2 hours’ worth of grinding, price B55,000 or $2,640 AUD. He says the average price in Sydney for an implant ranges between $3,500 – $5,000.

Check out Terminal 21 on THIS LINK.

Fabulous food

Pattaya has about 1,300 restaurants as well as their iconic street food. This BBQ seafood buffet is at the Holiday Inn which is only 200 meters from my condo.

Drifters cafe at Jomtien

Here is a fabulous beachside bar which is owned by an Aussie guy. They specialize in pizzas & Aussie pies, take a look at THIS LINK.

My friend Tony Murphy at el Mercado in Bangkok

I try to visit Bangkok fairly often, only 90 minutes in a private car, at a cost of B1,400 or $58 AUD, otherwise take the bus door to door for $16. Take a look at THIS LINK for more about el Mercado.

Cooling off in Koh Chang.

Thailand’s 2nd largest island is worth visiting, only about 4 hours drive from Pattaya. Beside Koh Chang you can consider Koh Samui, Phuket or Koh Larn which is adjacent to Pattaya.

Iconsiam shopping mall Bangkok

Iconsiam is the newest & biggest mall in Bangkok, others include Central World, Siam Paragon & EmQuartier.

From my condo

The view at night is breath-taking.

What a magnificent sunset

Pattaya has the best sunsets I have ever seen, & believe I have seen a few. 🙂

My regular motor bike taxi

His name is Pradu & the price is between B40 & B60 for most areas of Pattaya.

Mango & Sticky Rice

An iconic Thailand desert. Talking about deserts there are many more examples on THIS LINK.

Long sandy beach at Jomtien

Just south of Pattaya Jomtien beach stretches for miles.

Naklua fish market

Just a ten minute bus ride north of Pattaya, fabulous fresh seafood. If you wish, they will cook it for you.

Aussie Expat Pattaya with A bunch of other Aussies at our local bar.

I have been drinking at the Atlantic bar for 20 years, check out the history on THIS LINK. There are hundreds of beer bars & sports bars in Pattaya, find them on THIS LINK.

Party time at the Atlantic bar

There is never a dull moment in Pattaya. 🙂 Lots of photos on THIS LINK.

You will never go hungry in Pattaya

Here is Patrick at his Belgium Steakhouse.

Walking Street

Walking St Pattaya is wild & sexy, defining what really put Pattaya on the map in the early days. Sure today it’s bigger, bolder & brassier, however there now is so much more to offer in this great part of the world besides the traditional heart of Pattaya.

Infamous Soi 6

Only 5 minutes walk from my condo this is where you can get into all sorts of trouble, see for yourself on THIS LINK.

Here we are at Mae Pim

Mae Pim beach, boats & sunsets, a beautiful onshore wind & peace and quiet. Only 90 minutes from Pattaya and 2 hours from Bangkok airport. The peace & quiet only applies between February and October, the 3 months over Xmas is a different story when the crowds converge on this delightful beach side resort.

Hi ho hi ho it’s off to work we go…

When living in Pattaya always expect the unexpected. 🙂 Beach Rd of coarse is a one way street & they are traveling against the flow. Many more strange sights HERE.

That’s all for now folks

I hope I have shown you how a typical Aussie Expat enjoys life in Pattaya.

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. 🙂

What a star this guy is. 🙂

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

Old cars Pattaya Beach, is this attractive?

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

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

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. 🙂

Obviously he would avoid any rough surfaces. 🙂

The question is….

How low can you go? 🙂

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

Here is number 2017

Not sure what this number signifies.

Mellow Yellow

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

Now here is a good looking beast

Sadly I didn’t get what model it was.

This car may have been the cutting edge of technology.

If it hit you it would cut you in half. 🙂

That blue is a terrific colour

It would certainly turn some heads.

Classic Car Friends Pattaya

Classic Car Friends Pattaya is based on the idea to bring people together who are interested in Classic Cars and in creating a network which will support and help Classic Car owners, collectors and enthusiasts in all their CLASSIC CAR needs and activities.

Surf and Turf Pattaya

February 24, 2021 by David Herd

Surf and Turf Pattaya

Surf and Turf Pattaya is located at the front of the 4-star Long Beach Garden Hotel. For a more accurate description replace Pattaya with Naklua. The photo above is the original restaurant, the following shots taken in February 2021 will show the new section which is currently not in use due to having few customers because of the Coronavirus.

The new section

It more than doubles the size of the original section.

Lots of surfboards feature

However I have never seen a surf in Pattaya. 🙂

Outdoor section

My preference is inside in front of a fan, however today was February 24 2021 & the breeze coming off the bay was magnificent.

Surf and Turf Pattaya

A very popular restaurant, there always seems to be more Thai people than foreigners.

Avocado smoothie

At B140 it was fairly average, I did have high hopes as I do love avocado. 🙂

Hamburger

With prawns, the beef patty was very good, as were the fries. One of the features of this nice restaurant is the huge choice of dishes, both western & Thai, the staff are very nice as well.

If you prefer a quieter location to stay rather than Pattaya, the Longbeach Hotel is a good choice, especially with their beachside restaurant the Surf & Turf. For a very good room discount just follow THIS LINK.

Before you leave please check out my original Surf & Turf photo blog HERE.

Pattaya Fireworks Food Crocodiles

November 29, 2020 by David Herd

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. 🙂

on the beach right amongst the action

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

Time for some food

This guy is cooking quale on a rotisserie.

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.

Pattaya Fireworks Food Crocodiles

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.

Oysters Beach Club Pattaya

November 18, 2020 by David Herd

Sunset over Koh Larn

Oysters Beach Club Pattaya are on special Tuesdays from 3 pm until sold out. These fabulous fresh French oysters are only B35 each including ++, so I indulged buy ordering 18 at a cost of B630, or $28 AUD.

For many years I have been saying that in my opinion Pattaya has the best sunsets I have seen anywhere in the world. If you don’t believe me just follow THIS LINK.

Looking south along the beach.

Just 30 minutes before sunset, time for some fresh oysters from France. 🙂

Surrounded by high-rise condos

Spectacular views of Koh Larn, but they would get very hot inside every afternoon with the hot sun belting in from the East.

Tuesday oysters special

From 3 pm every Tuesday they serve fabulous oysters from France for B30 a piece. Of course being an upmarket hotel the Pullman adds ++ to the price, 7% VAT & 10% service which brings the price to B35 or $1’60 AUD. About $19 per dozen making it the best value I have found in Thailand.

A complementary wine

Many thanks to the friendly waiter, I will be a regular Tuesday customer.

Spectacular at night

For a very good room discount here at the Pullman hotel just book through THIS LINK.

Escape from the sun

This is the undercover outdoor area, if you want aircon just go inside. 🙂

Oysters Beach Club Pattaya, Fine de Claire No 4

This oyster can be grown in various parts of France, but must have spent at least 28 days in the famous ‘Claires’ to be called a Fine de Claire. The Fine de Claire oyster has a higher liquid content and a delicate salty taste.

Oysters Beach Club Pattaya, I’ll be a regular Tuesday customer.

Just looking at this photo makes my mouth water.

I have eaten oysters all over the world

To see the history of my affair with oysters from around the world please follow THIS LINK. Did you know that American and Italian researchers found they are rich in amino acids, which trigger increased levels of sex hormones.

Art of desert Pattaya

August 2, 2020 by David Herd

Art of desert Pattaya

Art of desert Pattaya is a far more interesting subject to me than the Art of War for instance, written by Sun Tzu in the 5th century. For some excellent images of the Art of Desert here is a LINK on Pinterest.

The photo above was taken at the Pullman Hotel at Wongamat Beach.

Belgian waffles at Patrick’s Steakhouse

Many people in these troubled times of Covid-19 will feel they are living in their own winter of discontent, well to brighten up their day just check out some of my favourite deserts in beautiful downtown Pattaya. 🙂

Great pancake at Leckerle

Researchers have found pancakes in the stomach of Otzi the Iceman, human remains dating back 5,300 years. In ancient Greece and Rome, pancakes were made from wheat flour, olive oil, honey, and curdled milk.

Magnificent Crème brûlée

France, England, and Spain all claim to be the country where crème brûlée had its origin. The first printed recipe for a dessert called crème brûlée is from the 1691.

A special from The Bistro at Soi Yamato 13/1.

Tripadvisor rate this small restaurant very highly at #6 of 1,085 Restaurants in Pattaya

Mixture from the Mantra

Sadly the Mantra closed it’s doors in 2018, their Sunday buffet was the best I have ever seen anywhere in the world. Here is over a decade of dining on THIS LINK.

Mango & sticky rice

The iconic Thai desert needs no introduction, it’s simply wonderful.

Hollys Coffee

Without a doubt this is the best pancake I have ever eaten. 🙂 This company was established in 1998 and opened Korea’s first espresso shop that year. Its shops offer espresso, coffee, tea, specialty coffee- and tea-based hot and cold drinks, a variety of pastries and other snacks and coffee supplies.

Banana pancake

Absolutely delicious & only B40, or $2 AUD.

The finished product

Surely must be the best value in Pattaya, or perhaps even the northern hemisphere.

Thanks for visiting my Art of desert Pattaya photo blog, I will certainly add more delights as I discover them.

Longhorn Steakhouse Pattaya

July 8, 2020 by David Herd

Longhorn Steakhouse Pattaya

Longhorn Steakhouse Pattaya is located in the arcade off 2nd road opposite Mike shopping mall. In the same arcade you will find Patrick’s & the Beefeater.

A table or a booth sir?

Plenty of space between the tables. 🙂

Walking Street

This is dated 1960, however it should show 1980, the reason is I actually took the photo on my first visit to Pattaya.

The original photo

That’s my friend Rob Symonds walking towards the camera. We have visited Manila & Hong Kong on the way to Thailand. Follow THIS LINK for more 1980 photos.

July promotion was exceptional value.

B595 or $19 USD.

Lobster Bisque to begin

It tasted as good as it looks. 🙂

Australian Ribeye

At Longhorn Steakhouse Pattaya this Australian Ribeye was extremely tender & tasty.

Guess who was celebrating his birthday?

Guilty as charged. 🙂

Creme Brulee is a favourite of mine.

It was a toss up between this & the Tiramisu. Creme Brulee is a dessert consisting of a rich custard base topped with a texturally contrasting layer of hardened caramelized sugar. It is normally served slightly chilled; the heat from the caramelizing process tends to warm the top of the custard, while leaving the center cool. The custard base is traditionally flavored with vanilla in French cuisine or with cinnamon and lemon in Catalan cuisine, but can have other flavorings. It is sometimes garnished with fruit.

Toast Skagen, one of my all time favorites.

The Beefeater also offers Skagen. Toast Skagen is an appetizer and Swedish food. Consisting of two slices of toast, mayonnaise and many prawns. Sometimes crabs are used instead of shrimp. The name of the dish originated from Skagen in Denmark, but the dish is not very well-known and most popular in Sweden, which was created by the restaurant and chef from Stockholm Tore Wretman. He introduced the Toast Skagen … Wikipedia

Australian Shiraz

Tonight I chose to take my own wine as it was a special occasion, the corkage fee is B300, or $9 USD.

Tiramisu

Very rich, I prefer the Creme Brulee.

Longhorn Steakhouse Pattaya

Thanks for visiting my Longhorn Steakhouse Pattaya photo blog, I highly recommend this excellent restaurant. Don’t forget In the same arcade you will find two other very good restaurants Patrick’s & the Beefeater.
