Living in Pattaya 2022

Baht bus

Living in Pattaya 2024, this is my 13th year in this layback seaside city on the gulf of Thailand. Recently things have been much quieter than usual due to the world’s overreaction to the so called Covid-19 crisis.

The excellent photo above is owned by Robert Cameron, I hope he does not mind me using it.

Living with Covid crisis 2022 has really not inconvinienced me at all, in fact I really enjoy the peace & quiet in Pattaya. I’m of the opinion the danger is grossly overrated, after all it’s just another form of influenza.

This photo blog covers the first 6 months of 2022.
