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.

Pattaya 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.

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.

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…

Patpong Road red light district Bangkok

January 27, 2016 by David Herd

On everybody’s bucket list

Patpong Road red light district Bangkok

Patpong Road red light district Bangkok is known as the cities original red light district. These days it is more popular as a night market, however many pole dancing & beer bars are still there. These days Nana Plaza and Soi Cowboy are more popular so called entertainment areas.

Shop to you drop at Patpong Road Bangkok

I notice many of the items here are so much cheaper if you shop at Chinatown.

Patpong Road Bangkok

It was a Tuesday night and very quiet, perhaps it was a little early for the crowds at Patpong Road Bangkok.

Nice corner bar

Most of the bars are in the next street which runs parallel to this one.

Larry finds some company

Sadly I felt I had to point out his companion was actually a LadyBoy.

Say no more

I’m guessing this is not a pet shop where you can buy a kitten, but then again what would I know?

No photos please.

I think she may be a little shy. 🙂

Patpong Road red light district Bangkok

Happy hours and happy endings are always available in Patpong Road.

Happy hour in Patpong 1993

Travelling from Europe to Australia in 1993 naturally I had to stopover in Bangkok for some R & R.

The Inn Saladaeng

A very nice little hotel a short walk to Patpong. You will get a very good rate if you book through this link.

The hotel is only a 10 minute walk to Cloud 47 one of Bangkok’s fabulous Sky Bars.

Bangkok burger company

Right next door to the hotel is this very good burger restaurant, good food and cold beer, but for some reason they don’t serve wine.

Wine Connection is the better option

A short train ride to Patpong and to will find the Wine Connection, an excellent restaurant.

Choose your wine

A very busy restaurant with a great selection of food and wine.

Street food stalls

Fresh vegetables Bangkok style.

Bangkok breakfast

There is no doubt Thai people have taken street food to an art form.

Sala Daeng skytrain station is about 200 meters from the main Patpong area. If you are travelling from Nana or Asoke on Sukhumvit you need to change trains at Siam station.

Fabulous street food

You can eat well here for around B50.

Lucky his friend is holding him

I guess he just finished a hard days work so it’s time for a little nap.

Goodbye from Cloud 47

Thanks folks for visiting my Patpong Road red light district Bangkok photo blog.

When I’m in Bangkok I like to stay in Sukhumvit Soi 11, here is an excellent budget hotel, if you USE THIS LINK you will get a great rate of around B1100 per night, or $30 USD.

Hooters Pattaya opening night

January 4, 2016 by David Herd

Very sexy Thai & Russian babes

Hooters Pattaya opening night

Hooters Pattaya opening night was on New Years Eve 2015 so we decided to make it our first stop when seeing off the old and welcoming the new year.

Check out those gorgeous eyes

It’s probably lucky we don’t know what she is thinking. 🙂

From another perspective

Here is a test can you see the very large bottle of Absolut Vodka? Vodka, what Vodka? I don’t see any vodka.

Great room with an upstairs sports bar

The are lots of seating alternatives here including outside overlooking Pattaya Bay.

Ride the wild bull at Hooters Pattaya opening night

Call me old fashioned but I prefer to sit quietly at the bar with a cold Asahi draught and take in the eye candy.

Girls were busy at Hooters Pattaya opening night

The girls all looked great in there Hooters outfits, there seemed to be an even mix of Russian & Thai girls.

If I had to pick a favourite

It would probably be this beautiful lady.

Booze delivery

I don’t think we will run out of booze ant time soon at Hooters Pattaya opening night.

Forget the booze, show us the girls.

Ok, I know where your preference Lies.

And the beat goes on

Pour me a drink & I’ll tell you some lies. 🙂

Main bar downstairs

The décor is excellent, my only complaint is the food is rather expensive. I’m guessing management will soon discover this and make adjustments.

Hooters Pattaya opening night band

The band and the selection of live & recorded music was excellent.

Did I mention the girls?

Well my friends as you can clearly see the girls were excellent as well at Hooters Pattaya opening night. 🙂

September 12 2015

Works begins on the building.

December 12 2015

Within three months they had made great progress.

December 31 2015

I’m sure you agree the end result is excellent.

Culminating in this

Well here is what we have been waiting for.

We really liked Hooters

My friend Larry & I came away with a very good first impression of Pattaya’s latest addition to the the cities fabulous entertainment venues.

Sadly on October 29th 2016 Larry suffered a major stroke, he was in hospital until December before they flew him home to Australia. Then late January they took him off life support and he passed away, RIP old buddy.

Loy Krathong Celebration Thailand

November 27, 2015 by David Herd

Float a basket

Loy Krathong Celebration Thailand

Loy Krathong Celebration Thailand means “float a basket”, it’s a beautiful Thai ceremony held every November coinciding with the full moon. The baskets are constructed from banana leaves and flowers, some are small and some are large and elaborate.

Hard at work for Loy Krathong Thailand

From 7 am these ladies are busy constructing the Krathongs.

Small Krathongs

The idea is you place a little money in the Krathong then send it out to float and it will take your bad luck with it.

Extra large Krathongs

As you can imagine a lot of work goes into making these fabulous Krathongs.

These girls will work for hours

Sitting on the Beach Road footpath for hours is no problem for these industrious ladies.

Fast asleep

It’s all too much for this young guy, it’s 7’30 am and he is taking a nap.

All hands on deck

Even the kids are recruited to help out granny. 🙂

Loy Krathong Celebration Thailand early evening

Beach Road come alive when the sun goes down. This guy certainly has a lot of stock to sell.

Opposite the A-One hotel.

It’s 8.30 pm and where are the crowds?

The lanterns are the star of the show

Lanterns are a wonderful sight floating high in the sky. Thai people believe if you make a wish prior to take off, and if the lantern is still alight when it goes out of sight, your wish will come true.

Houston, we have a problem

Loy Krathong Pattaya

These guys initially had a problem with lift-off, however perseverance won out in the end.

The crowd in 2014

The beach was packed last year for Loy Krathong Thailand 2014.

Loy Krathong Thailand 2015

This year I estimate the crowd was only about 10% compared with last year.

Many thanks for visiting my Loy Krathong Thailand photo blog.

Pattaya storm water pipe

November 16, 2015 by David Herd

In comes the storm

Pattaya storm water pipe

Pattaya storm water pipe is planned to be the solution to Beach Road flooding after every storm. The problem is they need to replicate what they are building opposite Soi 6 in at least 4 other locations.

So the problem begins as you see above when the storm rolls in.

Beach Road floods

When the storm hits within a matter of minutes Beach Road disappears.

The footpath disappears as well

The volume of water is too much for any drain of gutter to handle.

Beach Rd Pattaya flooded, more water than Songkran.

The solution stage one

This was how it all started by digging up the footpath opposite Soi 6. Naturally at this stage we had no idea what was happening.

The channel

We still were not sure what the plan was.

Progress

The work was progressing 4/7.

Lots of equipment in play

It must be costing a fortune with all this equipment in play.

Opposite Soi 6

Those buildings you can see are on the corner of Soi 6.

To add to their problems

A storm arrived and wrecked part of the footpath and work site.

Sandbags to keep the water out

On the right you can see the damaged footpath, meanwhile lets hope the sandbags are effective.

The pump station

I’m guessing this will be where the pump will be located.

Pattaya storm water pipe

As you can clearly see it is a frenzy of activity.

Ooops!

Not everything goes to plan here in Thailand.

Houston we have a problem

I have a feeling the boss is not going to be happy.

It’s not a pipedream

After 4 months of continuous work the first length of pipe is installed.

Then mid November a large barge arrives

Getting ready for the 2nd length of pipe.

Here comes the pipe.

Three pipes of this length were joined together.

Para-sailors in the background.

Life goes on as usual in Pattaya, the para-sailors are here every day.

A short video

Pipeline off Pattaya Beach

Thanks for visiting my Pattaya storm water pipe photo blog, I will post more as it happens.

Here is a quote from The Pattaya Mail. a local newspaper on June 17 2016. “In the past year, Pattaya spent 170 million baht to install three huge drainage pipes at the Dusit Curve, Soi 6, and near Walking Street. But even short rainstorms since their completion have shown the pricey pipes are unable to solve Beach Road’s chronic flooding problem.”

Amari Hotel Beach Road

November 11, 2015 by David Herd

Looking north to Wongamat

Amari Hotel Beach Road Pattaya

Amari Hotel Beach Road Pattaya Ocean Tower has fabulous ocean views and beautiful grounds around the pool area. Add the wonderful Mantra to the mix and you will wonder why you would ever stay anywhere else.

It is May 2017 & a huge renovation is underway, the Garden section is being totally demolished & a new tower will be constructed in its place. Tavern by the sea on Beach Rd has been demolished.

Naklua Road

Naklua Road has lots of good restaurants and beer bars. Travel about 5 kilometers along and you come to the fish market, well worth a visit.

It is May 2017 & a huge renovation is underway, the Garden section (the grey buildings) is being totally demolished & a new tower will be constructed in its place. Tavern by the sea on Beach Rd will also be demolished.

Relax at the pool bar.

A beautiful setting swim up to the bar and order a cocktail.

Lap pool, I don’t think so.

I would struggle to swim one lap, I’ll stick to the other pool where I can order a Bloody Mary. 🙂

One moment sir while I check for vacancies

Friends of mine who are regular Amari customers always comment on the excellent staff, they certainly give their guests the five star treatment.

For a great rate use this link to book the Ocean Tower.

Here is the link to book the lower price Garden section.

Four of my favourite people

My brother Warren and his two beautiful daughters Elyssa & Laura plus my friend Bill Austin from Wiltshire in the U.K, we had just finished Sunday lunch at the Mantra and were feeling no pain at all. 🙂

Talking about the Mantra

Alaskan crab, Oysters from France washed down with cold sake. Sunday lunch lets you sample food from seven different kitchens.

Here is a video showing the seven kitchens

Garden section

Room prices are quite a bit lower in the Garden section but you still have full access to the beautiful grounds. They also have an excellent property at Koh Chang which is around 4 hours drive from Pattaya.

It is May 2017 & a huge renovation is underway, the Garden section is being totally demolished & a new tower will be constructed in its place. Tavern by the sea on Beach Rd will also be demolished.

Tropical storm smashes Pattaya

September 18, 2015 by David Herd

Beach Road

Tropical storm smashes Pattaya

Tropical storm smashes Pattaya, Vamco formed in the South China Sea on September 13, 2015 and went ashore in Vietnam a few days later. Although short-lived Vamco dropped very heavy rainfall over the mountainous terrain of central Vietnam and in Laos and eastern Thailand. It arrived in Pattaya on the 16th and caused an enormous amount of flooding and damage.

Opposite Soi 6

For months they have been working of a drainage system to clear the water that builds up on Beach Rd at Soi 6. You can see what Vamco did to this location. 🙂

New drainage system

The building project continues, whether it will do the job or not we will just have to wait and see.

Following day back to normal

It does not take these industrious Thai workers long to repair the damage and get back to normal.

The power of nature

These pavers have not been down for very long. 🙂

The thunder that accompanied the lightening was the loudest I have ever heard in my condo. It seemed to be exploding right above my building.

Here is a video from my balcony

Big electrical storm in Pattaya

A classic photo

7-Eleven staff are very dedicated people. I found this photo on a Thai Visa forum, it was attributed to this Twitter account, https://twitter.com/nuunut5555.

I hope the packaging is waterproof. 🙂

This is a very common sight in Pattaya after a storm.

Beach Road underwater

You just can’t build a drain or a gutter that can handle this volume of water.

The locals take it in their stride

As you can clearly see, these guys couldn’t car less about the flood waters. 🙂

Barge blown off mooring

Pattaya barge blown off mooring

Strong winds in Pattaya today blew one of the para-sailing barges off its mooring. It is now stuck on the sand 100 meters from the beach.

Long tail tub

Thailand is famous for it’s long tail boats, well he is a Long tail tub. 🙂

Is this a road or a river?

Busy streets turn into rivers.

Houston, we have a problem.

Hey buddy, you are going nowhere. 🙂

Grab him and bag him

The guys look very casual with this encounter.

Hmmm! I wonder what the problem is?

A spray of WD 40 is all it needs.

The solution is simple

A little water is not going to stop this guy. 🙂

No coffee tonight

There is an enormous amount of damage caused by these storms.

Roads turn into rivers

All hands on deck.

Towel or a Burka?

I think she is losing the battle to stay dry. 🙂

Back to the beach

repairing the beach in the wet season is a never ending job.

Tropical storm smashes Pattaya

The footpath has been undermine by the force of the storm water. I really don’t think there is any solution to this problem.

So much damage to the footpath when a Tropical storm smashes Pattaya

After last nights storm we have a beautiful sunny day.

Saturday September 19

The sunshine, boats and tourists a back, everything is normal again.

Fantastic light show is now just a memory

Retox bar Soi Lengkee

Restaurants Bars Soi Lengkee Pattaya

Restaurants Bars Soi Lengkee Pattaya has seen a couple of new venues open recently, Retox Bar & Steak & Co are two excellent venues. Soi Lengkee runs off Soi Buakhau and is almost adjacent to Soi LK Metro.

Restaurants Bars Soi Lengkee Pattaya Sausages & chips

The sausages & gravy were good but the chips were soft & soggy.

Steak & Co

Until a few months ago this was a very good Chinese restaurant, now it’s a very good Steakhouse featuring Australian beef.

Rib Eye Aussie beef at Steak & Co

This was the first visit and my steak was outstanding, cooked to perfection, I gave it a 9 out of 10. The 2nd time I was there 2 weeks later in August 2015 it was not nearly as good, perhaps 7 out of 10.

Restaurants Bars Soi Lengkee Pattaya

Steak & Co

Nice warm atmosphere to enjoy a red wine while waiting for your steak to arrive. 🙂

Next door to Steak & Co

Soi Lenkee is improving all the time with lots of bars, restaurants & hotels.

Corner to the north of Soi Lengkee and Soi BuakHao

Soi Buakhao is a two way street that connects Central Pattaya Road and South Pattaya Road, the market is only 50 meters from South Pattaya Road.

Coffee shop & bar at the market

Send the wife shopping while you sit here and enjoy a cold beer. 🙂

Great smile at Soi Buakhao market

In case you didn’t realise that is a frog kebab above. I guess you will be rushing to get one soon. 🙂

Interesting food at the markets.

Looks fairly spicy to me. 🙂

Thai staples

Thai people have taken street food to an art form.

Who could resist a frog kebab? 🙂

I could quite easily. 🙂

Witherspoons pub & restaurant

Typical Pattaya pub & restaurant with lots of TV screens and serving good cheap food.

There are many low cost hotels in this area, for a good rate use this link. I have several friends who stay at the Sutus court which is almost next door to Witherspoons, great value currently at $22 per night.

Mates Bar

Cosy little bar in Soi Buakhao, here Hamish Elton and Andrew enjoy a cold beer or two. Andrew with the tattoos is the new owner.

Cafe Pitini Soi Buakhao

This nice cafe is opposite mates bar, I think Andrew eats there 6 days a week. 🙂

Cafe Pitini breakfast

They serve a very good breakfast for around $4 usd and lucky for me have provide the Bangkok Post to read. 🙂

Exciting Soi Buakhao Pattaya

Some people may find it exciting to be nearly knocked over by a 183 centimetre LadyBoy walking along Soi Buakhao but not me. 🙂 Apologies for the blurred photo but I guess my hand was shaking a little out of fear of being accosted. 🙂 🙂 🙂

Location

Corner of Soi Buakhao & Soi Lengkee

My mistake I think this is one street north of Lenkee.

Pook Bar

Pook bar closed in mid 2014. It used to be located on Soi Buakhao in Pattaya, Thailand. In its day it was the largest and best known ladyboy bar in the city. The same owner has a Pook Bar in Soi 6.
