    You don’t need a bike in Pattaya. The Baht bus is only 10B. Can get from Jomtien to Naklua on it.
    The roads can be dodgy too. Accidents every day.

    Pattaya - Jomtien is a lot more then Soi Buakhao and Beach road/Walking Street. If vloggers would really travel around and explore the real "Chon Buri" they will be suprised how nice and chill it is over there.

    Was traveling one time from Bangkok to Rayong on a big bus, but apparently the wrong bus, left us basically stranded in guess where, Pattaya. Not the nicer part by the beach, no in a much dirtier area.
    That was my first impression of Pattaya so haven’t had the desire to give back
    The beach area you filmed seems pretty good, but somehow reminds me of Las Vegas.

I think we had one coffee followed by copious amounts of beer. Up until 2011 ish the beach side of Beach Rd was a tranquil, dusty, meandering path that used to snake back and forth through the trees, before the local town planner's decided to remove its character and turn it into Crete, Benidorm etc, etc.

    Welcome to Pattaya! Traffic full on as usual ! Opposite Pattaya central where you can get a good meal downstairs is the night market and is full of stuff and cheaper at the back. It looks different at night . The tree village got nice food, Soi 6 and 7 and walking street very colourful. The baht taxi is cheap and gets you around fast . Jomtien is on the other side of the hill and got two nice markets. You can go up the tower for an amazing 360 degree view and a beverage. The nearby temple has some amazing golden statues that tell a story . Beware of the bars and broken pavements and roadworks where I smashed myself. Enjoy
