Same here as me, Chris. I’m a big believer that the good old days are now, it’s always the best time right now. But we all have happy memories, and I agree with you, but it is the best nightlife certainly in Southeast Asia, and probably the world.
Hell of a lot of work has gone into this so well done and thanks for sharing. As a visitor first time 1990 (and my life was never the same again afterwards!) I really enjoyed this.
I concur about life being changed from that moment forward too. I came from a town of 100 people in country Australia and found myself alone in Pattaya at 17.
great video....my first visit was in 1983, the town was sooooo much fun and the change is unbelievable. Beach St bars down towards what would become Walking Street were very basic but just the place a young bloke should experience in his life. Cheers for posting this
Amazing! Time flies! The first time I was there was back in 1995, and I visited it almost every year once or twice ever since. Due to my frequent visit, it is like seeing yourself in the mirror every day, you can hardly see yourself changing. But when you put two videos together, you realized you have aged as much as the city has changed and grown! Let's embrace changes together with one's mortality.
Another great video and like you say big up to Balloon Chaser he done a great job. And of course the commentator done well keeping up with the action and spotting all the sites. Deffo a few million tons of concrete gone into Pattaya over the years.
Hi Phil Yeah, remember 1994 in Pattaya well. I have quite a lot of footage of Pattaya and other area's of Thailand from 1989 onwards, shot on my old Panasonic camcorder, with remarkably good quality too, but everyone will have to wait until my own TH-cam channel is up and running to see it, lol. Yeah, people keep talking about how much has shut down now, since the pandemic started, but there is still more open now than there was in 1989, lol.
Went there in 1998.. totally unbelievable cos my friends over there today (2024) at the moment and she was showing photos of a different Pattaya that I barely knew, I had to find a video like yours to see the whole comparison.. 😮 much appreciated
Thanks for a very great video. My first visit to Pattaya was februar 1977. You could see fishinboats coming in, it was a lovely place. I lived in hotel Ocean View Resort, it was at same place that Hilton is nowdays.
When i first went to Pattaya in Dec 89 there were no bars down soi 6,7 or 8,all the action was between Beach rd and 2nd rd,farangs didn't venture across the 2nd rd and into the outback which is now soi Baukhao.Cheers
@@LePubPattaya Yes of course, the Baloon hunter did a great job but my comment was about you Sir. Again, you are soo much mote then just a bar owner in Pattaya. Thanks!
Had some fun there in '82. A little sweetheart from Rainbow Bar (Bangkok Sukhomvit before it moved to the 'proposed Nana Plaza') took very good care of me! Yes!
@@LePubPattaya Even though I'm a lot older I think the 'magic of those days' has long passed! There were no tattoos! Nearly all the girls were very slim with long (Natural ) black hair and their English wasn't up too much! With my non existent Thai language skills---it was actually 'bliss'! Cheers! Good luck!
Brilliant video, Phil. I love these then & now comparisons, and the side-by-side edit is incredible work. I understand 30 years ago, there wasn't much inland beyond 2nd Road? Soi Buakhao wouldve been a dirt track, possibly? I'm a newbie, first visit to Pattaya in 2011. If any photos/video exists, I'd love to see what Soi Buakhao looked like back in the day. And maybe Batman nightclub, when it was open??? Get digging, Phil! 😃
Ahhh thats your Pub, passed many times on my Way to Windmill and thought to step in 2-3x but now that I know you're there I'll sure come for a visit for sure if boarder is open. And also great Video, hoped to see old and new Walking Street.
I think I have looked at all the old Pattaya videos on youtube over the years. so interesting. I first arrived in 2004. Could have gone in the 90s and even the 80s but I was ignorant and did not know. Good job on the comparison post
Great video, I can't believe how basic Soi 7 was, we went there for the first time in 2000 and it was pretty much like it is now but with a few more bars where the new hotel has just gone up. Wonder if the Pig & Whistle was going then, that was one of our favourite eateries back then and Rose O'Gradys next door.
Totally agree! We actually went to the Pig and Whistle when we filmed this but it was too long to put in. I nicked the Guinness sign from Rosies. (really)
Hi, Curious Droid - Yes the Pig & Whistle was open back then. Unfortunately, Bob Adams, proprietor of the Pig & Whistle on Soi 7 passed away on 5 Oct 2011 (Heart Attack I do believe). Hope this helps. Regards Ray (Kalasin).
Excellent!! so many changes! Strange, over the 21 years since I first went you don't notice how much things change, but seeing it in that video its massive! Thanks for sharing.
Oh, I remember when you could rag around on motorcycles like that, with so little traffic on the roads. The worst thing back then were all the raised drain covers on Beach Road. 3rd Road wasn't much more than a track, with long stretches of open land. You forgot to mention that rickety old pier (in front of Pattaya Beer Garden) that the ferry to Koh Larn used to leave from. Sounds like you first visited around the same time as I.
Thanks for the memories my egg even thou 2000 was my first visit it's really changed the last ten years still miss the old pattaya but better infastucture know but still remains a fantastic city. Greeting from Oldbury. 👍
@@LePubPattaya I was in Thailand 2-4 times per year. The exchange rate, then full of a sudden families with kids, then some kind of 'not spending a cent' nation people filled the streets in groups of 3-6, and the party vibe dissipated, then police stopped me more often, then some thing like 10% fees were added to the drinks, then the girls behaved a little desperate to sell drinks. I think live got harder and less relaxed. Lots of closed bars in 2019, so I checked out Vietnam with a friend.
I will be back to Bangkok and Pattaya after a twenty year absence, and yes it has changed as everything does in life. I always say, "The best is yet to come!" ...I'll see you all in Pattaya at the end April!!!
Loving your videos as always. You know a big theme of yours is “now versus then”. I love that. Buzzin Pattaya does a bit of that too. As you also enjoy that (I think) I recommend looking at vlogger “Bangkok Pat”. Its all Bangkok based but he does some unreal now versus then movies. Hes a london lad but his mother was Thai. Hope you like it.
Incredible how the driver was able to recreate the same driving trip, and great work by the editor syncing up the footage. Even managed to sync up the traffic lights somehow 😂
First time I turned up in pattaya in the late 80's there was only two beers available singha and kloster and the best go go's were baby go go 3 and the blackout on walking street
Great video. It struck me about Soi7, i'm used to hearing people say about the good old days of soi 7, but it barely has a history at all. I've only been coming for 5 years but I remember Tree Town popping into existence from what was just soil.
That was great. Would like to see more of these type of vids. My first trip 2001. Seeing how much has changed in Pattaya in those 20 years, wish I had taken a lot more photos during my early visits. Also in Bangkok. Thanks.
Great video Mr Egg, my first time in Jomtien and Pattaya was in 2007, and they have both changed a lot in that time, but wow, in the previous years... what really got me was Thepparasit in Jomtien, on the left hand side was virtually nothing after the arch, but I have only ever known it as built up, including my Jomtien Local, The Flying Dolphins Bar... if ever you want a quiet beer with no hassle, it is the place to go mate...
Brilliant that Thanks I first came in 87 and last in 91 so it brought back a lot of memories Do you know of anymore old videos I could watch Thanks again
I have seen that video before, but without your commentary I didn't know many of the roads and missed some of the points of interest. The original was filmed about the time I was first there.
Fantastic footage can't believe what soi 7 looked like the original soi pot hole without the buildings, The beer bars that stand on the left going down to the beech look like they've been there longer than 25 years or so. Even when I first went in 2006 they looked like they been there a while.

This interesting.. foggy memories from 1980 ' to 1990's
Kiss food .. it is the same kitchen table lay out..lol
Yes, it hasn’t changed
if it ain't broke don't fix it :)

I’ve got a picture of my great grandfather outside a jewellery shop he used to have with my family name in big letters in Bayswater London taken around 1870, amazing how the world has changed in that time, my father was born in 1900
I bet you treasure that photo. What is it now?
