@@WalkAboutWayne I think that's a good choice in that crazy traffic! It's not worth to risk your health or life on a rental bike with such cheap transport available.
Rid thailand on a bike for last 25 years just pay atention and enjoy ten time better on a bike than baht bus if ya spend much time there as you get to adventure way more of the city baht bus just stay on beach rd second rd and soi bukow
Interesting to hear your thoughts on Pattaya mate. You’re right when you said it feels a world away from peaceful Chiang Mai. Pattaya is the dreggs of SE Asia, aggressive attitudes, drunks, bad smells but u gotta experience it every now and then though 😅 Take it easy mate 🤙
Yes mate, it's a world away. Like you said, it's great to experience it for a while. I'm enjoying myself 😉 but will be happy to get to a smaller town in a few days.
Pattaya, is a funny old place. I do enjoy it but only really with some mates. On your own you just have to do the places less visited like the Sanctuary of Truth which is the giant wooden temple. Also, I did an off road experience with some friends (3 days) with a company called Enduro Madness which was the most fun you can have with your clothes on!
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. It's all about the views and Beach road and the other famous Bar streets get more views.
So good of that guy to drive you to Pattaya! I won’t rush back there myself I would love to travel to remoter parts of Thailand and see what that’s like Out of my comfort zone maybe but interesting. Take care Wayne.
He was a cool guy for driving me. I hate them minivans , so it was good to avoid one. I like the remote towns also, that's more my thing, but I'm enjoying Pattaya while I'm here.
Thanks for what you do on your channel Wayne. I’m dreaming of retiring in Thailand and your videos are fantastic! I’m a fan and would love to sit down for a green tea with you someday. I am Canadian and I find it hilarious when you sing the theme song from the littlest hobo. How that show made it to the mother country I’ll never know. lol
Thank you buddy! It's great to read comments like yours. I was a massive fan of the Littlest Hobo🤣. It was a big show in the UK. It always had bad reviews though. Every weekend, I used to sit down and watch The Littlest Hobo.
🤣🤣🤣 Brilliant Wayne. Been watching all your stuff for the past few months before coming here to the North. But the last 3 weeks up there haven’t been great with the smoke so I decided to come down south myself and now found myself in SIN CITY for my last week😝🤣 Hopefully see you about - I’ll grab you a Leo 🍻
I was staying in Soi Honey .. every meal I walk to central festival basement food court.. you don't need a motorbike you are staying in the perfect spot!
Mate you need google glasses (and a trenchcoat, 55, or join the tourist police and get the Tee shirt...) . What a great video Wayne. I spend two weeks in Pattaya a few years ago. Unfortunately the beach was closed off for renovations so I didn't get the great beach views or to lounge around checking out the, um, scenery. Never before has any Thailand vblog had me so keen to read the comment section. Certainly a lot of entertainment in this Vid. Stay safe man and thanks for the vid.
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. Happy days and safe travels
It’s kinda cool you sounded such a fish out of water in monger-land mate 👍😎 I’d avoided it for about 20-odd years until spent some time there visiting family nearby in 2022 and I also found the beach ok now they have done lots of work to it, but still wouldn’t swim in the water I don’t think. Good to see the place though for a few days. 😂
I'm no saint , but it feels a lot different yes mate. I'm glad I've come down here and seen it. It's not somewhere I could stay but I'm enjoying the few days. Cheers Simo.
Guy who doesn't want to be filmed, announces himself to the camera. He also doesn't seem to realise that he lives in a world where every smartphone user has a camera in their pocket. He might want to consider a disguise if he's worried about getting caught doing something he shouldn't.
Exactly! These men are cowards. They want to revel and do nefarious level things, yet ‘Buddha forbid’ they ever get caught on camera & their wife, family or friends in their home country ever find out. It’s like that silly phrase, “what happens in Thailand, stays in Thailand” - by men, essentially, it’s a cowardly thing. If anything, such women working in Pattaya in those “venues” should have more right to not be filmed… The farang, foreign men should know what they may be letting themselves in for. 🙏🏻

I miss the days before every single person insisted on filming every single thing they do. People used to live their lives. (I say this as I watch TH-cam!)
Hi Wayne, ya probably gone by now, if not jump on a baht bus (10 Baht) and hit Jomtien Beach and pretty local for your next stop is a town called Bang Saen. Plenty of Bobby Dazzlers to see it's not all bad! 🇹🇭
Mike's Shopping Mall was my first stopping point for a coffee after checking in to Flipper Lodge hotel on the Beach Rd end of Soi 8 way back in February '07. 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.
@@WalkAboutWayne Wayne, there's plenty of historic YT video's that'll give you a glimpse of how it once was. I definitely preferred the old dusty pathway..
Oh wow! Pattaya scrubs up ok! One thing I learned when we were there last, is if you go looking for trouble you'll find it and then some. Too many dirty old farangs buying up bars at the time. We were ready to scarper after three days as the vibe was weird.
@@WalkAboutWayne I can't wait to see what you have in store for us next! Your vids have it all, laughter, learning and falling in love with Thailand with each walkabout!
@@WalkAboutWaynehi Wayne I wanted to ask when u stay in hotels is it safe to leave your passport there, what do you do to keep your passport safe in your travels in Thailand in hotels?
@@rustythelegend I normally keep it in rooms mate. I sometimes take it out with me if the cleaning woman is doing the room. Once I'm comfortable in a place, I'll just leave it in a room, but put it somewhere not obvious.
I Enjoyed watching this, I remember my first time, I was like yourself , abit unsure, confused but amazed at the same time , as I was finally in Pattaya of years of wanting to go. Enjoy it mate, take it all in, and try do everything you want to do! how long are you in Pattaya for?
Wayne, I just left patts it's low season now. The Indians crawl when the sun goes down. Have a good time Jomtien is worth a visit. The bhat bus near the school 10baht.
There is a baht bus which takes you to jomtien beach, best spot on the bus is standing on the back. Better view and you can see the city sights... Beautiful people and Great little family run restaurants if you stay off the main beach road (only 1 soi away) I live in jomtien, and its awesome. Im in Australia now but i cant wait to get back! Oh, and dont forget to get some coconut ice cream from the cart near the beach.
Another great one bro. I hope you’re enjoying your escape from the smoke. I’m still a year or so away from my move to Hua Hin. Gonna buy a small villa with a pool there and once I’m set up, you won’t need a hotel in Hua Hin anymore. I’ll have plenty of room for a guest. Take it easy man, take it easy ™️
“ luv to see you having a laugh….. “ - It’s the like the last place on earth for lost souls 😳 Went in 2003 and never been back - look forward to more 🤩🤩🤩 👋👍
That was very nice of Yun to drive you to Pattaya. I do not understand how they do this so cheaply. I have been to Pattaya once and that was enough for me. I’ll take Chiang Mai anyday. Good video my man. Safe travels.
Yes, he was a top man. I was stunned when he said he will take me to Pattaya. His missus was back in the shop waiting for him 🤣. I'm enjoying my time in Pattaya. I couldn't live here but I can see why people love it. Cheers mate .
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
So 11 or 12 quid a night for that first hotel? That's amazing value. People bang on about how expensive Thailand is these days and its barely much different from back home, but where are you getting that hotel room for 12 quid in the UK?
Back in the day when a much smaller place & girls knew everybody's business , expats with wives or girlfriends would arrange to meet friends at The Belgium Embassy .Needless to say there were no Consular Staff nor Embassy
7 years in Thailand and I have never visited Pattaya, I might go to see how cheesy it really is. It looks like a tropical Brighton for pensioners and pervs. Rayong is lovely though for a quick escape.
Never visited but has a negative opinion and still wants to visit. Some people love to spend their time hating things they hate …go figure that mentality
@@everythingexplored5233 hey, it's good to know for yourself and explore. I don't want to go, but will probably pass by to see it one day. That's just normal mentality. Hope you are well and good 😊, you seem to have a bit of a negative mood, hope you find some peace ✌️😊
Grow up you sound like a child bitching about people telling you off for filming f… them your legal to film anything from public Pattaya is one of the best places in Thailand don’t listen to the myths there is way more to Pattaya then bars and bar girls
Ah, you literally walked past my neck of the woods. Boyztown, lol. I really hope you enjoy pattaya for something a bit different, i know it's not your norm. Catch you later, mate.
wayne grab an iced coffee and go sit on the beach under a palm bout 3pm,london to a brick you'll get a cutie sidling up to ya with tempting offers,enjoy sin city
I know the feeling Wayne...whenever I'm in a non western, foreign land, I despise seeing too many people that look like me... The world is definitely a small place...
Pattaya,,The most dangerous place on the planet.Avoid the people selling watches.They will hit you just to get a sale.Honestly I would get out of there.Theyre all nuts...
Mmmmmate, this is gonna funny!! am sooo looking forward to your vlog or two lol ive been shattaya 6/7 times now and it is a filth bucket, cant wait to see what happens when you go out, if you do get time make sure you go to LK Metro and Soi Buahkao, Soi chiapoon (pothole) (for the ladyboys), suppose you gotta hit walking street but i never go there, most of all Wayne, have fun!! and stay safe of course 👍
Yeah, I don't hate the place, in fact I been enjoying it. I always moan about something and say my true feelings. The longer I been here, the more I'm liking it ,👍
Wayne try to get to Century 21 and Space, worth a look, very clean, quite unique, Just got back to CM after a week in Pattaya, Don't forget your TM30 when you get back.
How much cooler is Chiang Mai ? We went to Thailand twice but were in BKK and Pattaya and it was way too hot for us. I guess we need to go again and head to CM.
First and only time I went to Pattaya was 12 years ago. Even then I felt it had a nasty edge to it that I hadn't found anywhere else in Thailand. Good on you for keeping your cool with the knobs, mate. Stay safe. 👍
Yep Tree Town is a good choice with a nice mix of small food places. There are some really good restaurants up on the hill. Three Mermaids and Sky nearby to it are a two of the better ones: 678 Moo 12 Kasetsin 11 Alley Nong prue, Pattaya City, Bang Lamung District. LOL Pattaya is definitely not Chiang Mai!
@WalkAboutWayne I read they have the cameras on their waist. They are definitely doing something because the people dont even seem to notice they are being filmed.
Nice to see you’re still vlogging. I used to watch your Chiang Mai videos at the start of the pandemic. I so badly wanted to be there with no one around. Ha
Those two old boys don't want their wives back home knowing they're not really on a golf trip to Marbella 😅
🤣🤣🤣
😅not really on golf trip to marbella....knockout comment...salutes....
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.
Yes, that's what I will probably do 👍
@@WalkAboutWayne I think that's a good choice in that crazy traffic! It's not worth to risk your health or life on a rental bike with such cheap transport available.
Yes. Trev also warns about the driving there.
@@JimmyJenks Lack of driving education in combination with drugs, alcohol, mental disorders and lack of law enforcement has it's price.

🤣🤣 I had a good time in Pattaya. It grew on me after a few days. Totally different from my life in Chiang Mai though.
After being an expat here since 1995; Pattaya , Phuket & some of 'the' other islands never ever felt like Thailand to me. Go there once & thats all.
Howdy! 🤣🤣 Damn, never heard that one before. I think Patrick Stewart is a bit more posh than me mate 🤣. Cheers 🥂
Pattaya beer garden is a must
I've seen so much about that beer garden .
Pattaya makes you appreciate how nice the rest of thailand is😂
🤣🤣
Well said mate.
Great video and love Pattaya it looks great 👍

My wife won't let me go to Pattaya.
Even though it was only for a Christian Stamp Collectors of Thailand meetup weekend.
Is that the new term for jolly boys outing
Back in the day when a much smaller place & girls knew everybody's business , expats with wives or girlfriends would arrange to meet friends at The Belgium Embassy .Needless to say there were no Consular Staff nor Embassy
🤣🤣🤣
Pattaya is cool ..sure it will grow on you
Yes, it's growing on me more mate. I been having a good time 👍
7 years in Thailand and I have never visited Pattaya, I might go to see how cheesy it really is. It looks like a tropical Brighton for pensioners and pervs. Rayong is lovely though for a quick escape.
It took me about 7 years to visit aswell Joe 🤣
Never visited but has a negative opinion and still wants to visit. Some people love to spend their time hating things they hate …go figure that mentality
@@everythingexplored5233 hey, it's good to know for yourself and explore. I don't want to go, but will probably pass by to see it one day. That's just normal mentality. Hope you are well and good 😊, you seem to have a bit of a negative mood, hope you find some peace ✌️😊
@@everythingexplored5233 Yeah, he sounds like a boring miserable tool.
Grow up you sound like a child bitching about people telling you off for filming f… them your legal to film anything from public Pattaya is one of the best places in Thailand don’t listen to the myths there is way more to Pattaya then bars and bar girls
Hi Wayne get yourself back to Hua hin.
You looked happy there last time mate
Maybe one day mate. Yes, I had a good time in Hua Hin.
Why is every road so busy? Where are they all going during the day?
Just out and about I guess. So many people in the city.
Whereabouts you from in the UK ?
Southwest Barry. Exeter area.
Wow. What do you call the opposite of a Bobby Dazzler? Thanks for showing me where to stay far away from, mate.
Give it a try mate 👍. I must admit , I'm having a good time.
Best part of visiting Pattaya?……. Leaving it.
HIV.
🤣
wow i bet you are a blast at parties
Ah, you literally walked past my neck of the woods. Boyztown, lol. I really hope you enjoy pattaya for something a bit different, i know it's not your norm. Catch you later, mate.
I'm having a good time Richard, starting to get in the swing of things. Not somewhere I would live, but I'm enjoying it. 👍👍
@WalkAboutWayne good good.
I was there 40 years ago and even then it was a fairly horrendous place. Now I go to Chiang Mai, much more civilised.
It seems ok, I can see the attraction of the place. Probably not for me though.
wayne grab an iced coffee and go sit on the beach under a palm bout 3pm,london to a brick you'll get a cutie sidling up to ya with tempting offers,enjoy sin city
Nice 👍
I know the feeling Wayne...whenever I'm in a non western, foreign land, I despise seeing too many people that look like me...
The world is definitely a small place...
I prefer more Thais around me, but I'm having a good time.
Pattaya,,The most dangerous place on the planet.Avoid the people selling watches.They will hit you just to get a sale.Honestly I would get out of there.Theyre all nuts...
Really? I've not seen any danger or felt in any danger.
really, ive been many times, not dangerous at all
Mmmmmate, this is gonna funny!! am sooo looking forward to your vlog or two lol ive been shattaya 6/7 times now and it is a filth bucket, cant wait to see what happens when you go out, if you do get time make sure you go to LK Metro and Soi Buahkao, Soi chiapoon (pothole) (for the ladyboys), suppose you gotta hit walking street but i never go there, most of all Wayne, have fun!! and stay safe of course 👍
It's going to be a funny few days mate 🤣. Cheers man
Place is lovely and everyone there don't listen 2 people find out 4 your self trust me cheap as chips and your have the time of your life
Yeah, I don't hate the place, in fact I been enjoying it. I always moan about something and say my true feelings. The longer I been here, the more I'm liking it ,👍
Pattaya is an aggressive city i lived there for 10 months now living in Nong Kai..
Yes, a few angry faces walking about 🤣. None Kai must be a big change from Pattaya. Thanks.
Wayne walking down Soi 6 in the evening, I would have loved to seen that 😮
Maybe mate 🤣
Wayne try to get to Century 21 and Space, worth a look, very clean, quite unique, Just got back to CM after a week in Pattaya, Don't forget your TM30 when you get back.
Nice one mate, maybe I'll have a look. I don't need TM30 mate, my address is a fixed address in Chiang Mai. Don't ever need to change TM30 👌
Good, informative Walk-About Wayne. With all the miserable old grumps mumbling about looking down at their feet, "F-0" was probably the best advice.
It felt like I was back home in a nightclub again. I've not been told to F off for a few years haha
@@WalkAboutWayneIndeed, I meant best to F-0 to somewhere away from that miserable lot.
Go to Jomtien mate… bit less mental and I think the Muay Thai championships are on at the moment on the beach!
Hoping to take a wonder around Jomtien 👍
Im staying across the street from that 7 eleven where you ran into the westerner 😂 55555
Nice! I'm around that area too.
@@WalkAboutWayne Good thai food at the restaurant, located at the entrance of Maytara hotel.
Wow.
How much cooler is Chiang Mai ?
We went to Thailand twice but were in BKK and Pattaya and it was way too hot for us. I guess we need to go again and head to CM.
Chiang Mai is roasting hot too. Down here the humidity is higher though.
further north you go, the hotter it is
It's actually hotter in chiang mai but its dry heat so much more comfortable
I found Chang Mai a lot cooler by night, but it was mid Dec. The town of Pai about two hours away from CM is definitely cooler again.
I was there to meet a couple of friends a week ago .I lasted 2 nights & then had to bail out
Hopefully I can last a bit longer 👍
Weak
old guys don't want to be filmed seen with their young girls they're hiding from their family's back home.
Welcome to Pattaya! 5555 - 2nd road fun!!!!
Thanks 👌👌
Get yourself over to the Darkside - a bit more normal over here. Plenty to explore and not tourist prices
@@WalkAboutWayne
First and only time I went to Pattaya was 12 years ago. Even then I felt it had a nasty edge to it that I hadn't found anywhere else in Thailand. Good on you for keeping your cool with the knobs, mate. Stay safe. 👍
Thanks Trevor, mate.
Yep Tree Town is a good choice with a nice mix of small food places. There are some really good restaurants up on the hill. Three Mermaids and Sky nearby to it are a two of the better ones: 678 Moo 12 Kasetsin 11 Alley Nong prue, Pattaya City, Bang Lamung District. LOL Pattaya is definitely not Chiang Mai!
I liked Tree Town, I chilled out there and got some food. 👍
Go ko lanta visit greek tavern.sperious..very relaxed island
You never know, maybe 👍
@@WalkAboutWayne tell mark sent you ..he give good deal
From what I see, the vloggers in Pattaya hide their cameras, and the people dont even noticed they are on video.
Really, I never see that and I follow loads of Pattaya vloggers. None of them hide anything.
@WalkAboutWayne
I read they have the cameras on their waist. They are definitely doing something because the people dont even seem to notice they are being filmed.
@@markurbancowboy That’s just walking vlogs buddy, with no talking 👍.
@@WalkAboutWayne
Correct, they have some captions in the video.
@@markurbancowboy yeah, that’s totally different. I’m a vlogger. 👍
I was thinking of heading that way but that voice in my head keeps saying "don't bother"....
Give it a try Dan. I must admit, I'm enjoying it. Not sure I could live here but great for a holiday.
@@WalkAboutWayne Yea, I'm going to definitely check it out.
i like to see you see new thiland. ill be there in a few months. keep doing what you do man, dont let the trashy prople ruin your stay.
Thanks man 👍
Good video well done hope you go to bang saray from Scott new Zealand
Cheers Scott 👍
I think they need to make that sign a little bigger @ 20:08.
Was it the HIV one? 🤣
Pattaya 🥱🥱🥱 No thank you. Be safe. Give me the J W Marriott in Khao Lak…beautiful pool and beautiful beach
Thanks mate
Nice to see you’re still vlogging. I used to watch your Chiang Mai videos at the start of the pandemic. I so badly wanted to be there with no one around. Ha
The good old days. I'm still at it buddy. Sounds like you was one of the first. Thanks.
This is a "Dude! Hold my beer!' video!
🤣🤣🤣
pattaya seems more crowded than before aint it mate 🤷♂ move out the way wayne is coming through and the beach lets talk about it😏
I don't know, this is my first time here. Apparently this is really quiet . Still busy for me though 🤣
@@WalkAboutWayne 😅yall should spell busy like this 👉"b💀sy"
