Great to hear Paul, many seem to like it how it is now. You have room to move and definitely plenty of choice. Hope you make it back again soon, safe travels
Brilliant as always David and personally I liked that you skipped walking street this time. Walking street is not my thing and should be avoided when looking for a good time in pattaya i.m.o. Thanks again for the video in perfect quality!
Great stuff Dave. Finally caught up! Def looking quieter than WS apart from Pothole. Good to see you being regularly recognised around town as your subs are shooting up. People def respect the reality of your videos and the banter as you go along.
Thanks so much Keef, hope you recovered from the flight. Yes getting stopped is adding about 20 minutes to my ride time, so having to manage the camera battery carefully. Good to see some new places opening on WS...tunnel just opened but I don't go down that far, maybe start from the Bali hai area on Friday 🙏🙏
@@DSPattaya Yeah I’m up in Isaan for a bit then will be making my way down to your area for a reminiscence. You’re a victim of your own popularity lol. Mixx disco used to be right at the top near Bali Hai and very popular with the Russians. Seems Warehouse in Buckaow has already closed for a spell.
Yes I saw they decided to close until normal hours resume...We will be taking advantage of the continued early closures to finish renovating sections of the club, including our downstairs toilets 🙂 We look forward to partying with you all again when normal hours resume. - Warehouse Management
Awesome video, was only there a couple of weeks ago, and spent most of my time around here. Lots of faces of people I bet met along the way , felt like I was there again. Bring on 2023. Cheers 👍
Another good video Dave. Just fine tuning my trip for end January. Treetown looks wee bit busier than my trip in May so hoping it’s jumping by 28th January when I arrive. So remember, you choose the bar and I’ll get in the 🍻
Another great video there Dave, I had to go back on the last walking street video to find out what you’re on about, I can’t believe I missed it!! But when you rewatch it, it’s very noticeable 😂 Looking forward to being in Pattaya two weeks from today
Great video again David. You show Pattaya how it really is. Like you say though you can always have a good time in Pattaya which I intend to have when I come out in late December for 2 months. I will be travelling around Thailand but I will be spending some time in Pattaya . I’ll tell you one thing though I won’t be paying the rip off bar fines. Soi six will do me. The lure of Thailand will soon disappear if it’s to expensive do people not realise that.
Evening David I met your brother years ago when Martin Somsak Fruitin was alive . I've been coming to Thailand since 1976 and stayed there since 1981 to 1989. My Thai wife opened one of thd first Thai restaurants in Scotland aswell as the First Thai supermarket. My nick name is Bill ghd fish and I own fisheries back in Scotland. I coming over to Thailand in January 2023 the first time in 3 years due to Covid. It would be great to meet up with you Take care Bill Taylor Alias Bill the fish
David, I was an advanced student, so I am up to understanding 53% of what you say. Ironically, when N.N. speaks English, I understand 98% of what she says. 😂 Hope everyone is doing well. Keeping Lucas and Vee in my thoughts. Thanks for the smiles. Give Charming Friday a little scratch behind the ear from me.
Lol Casey, he's (Friday) is sat right beside me getting a tickle. Yes was such a shock to hear about Vee illness. Hopefully they caught things early. I will try and tone down my accent, see if we can get you over 60% 🙏🙏
Good vlog again..I despair for the bar owners..it looks quieter now than 2 weeks ago when I went back to the UK..like the way you keep it real unlike other you tubers..I will give you another wave when I’m back in January
I noticed a dip in numbers at the beginning of October, but since then it has been increasing. I think different demographics make different areas busier, you will see Soi 7 on Tuesday, noticeably busier
Is there a bike ride's worth of Jomtien to see? Coming over at the end of next month and have booked accommodation that way. Admittedly I booked a while ago, but flying my parents out from the UK next month for about £1500 return for both of them
Possibly, however if I put in on the channel figures tank and its a nightmare to get the numbers back up. Im doing a members Pratumnak video just now, which will be be followed by Pratumnak at night including Jomtien, but I wouldn't put it on the main channel
Great to hear Nij, and good move on the extending. Getting here seems to be the biggest cost, so take advantage. Keep an eye out for me on Friday (the party i mentioned is delayed) so will be on my normal schedule
@@DSPattaya unfortunately I have to go to Phuket for two nights but back in pattaya on Saturday . Hope to see you around maybe then or the following weeks 😊
I look forward to you’re Friday night bike tours tree town looked very quite for the start of high season hopefully it pics up looked busier the other Wrk keep up the good wrk u do
Really like the bike ride Vlog better than slow walking, get to see much more and more entertaining. Some say the pandemic caused the really hot ladies to go back to their villages and soon hopefully they’ll be back. Great job!
Flight prices are insane. I was looking at coming back in February from the US and usually pay 850-900 round trip via Emirates, but just checked today and it was 1800 dollars.
Thats mental, keep searching though, the prices I was quoting are from the UK, they are up from the normal, but signs that they are starting to drop a little
Another well narrated and brilliantly shot vlog. David I was wondering if you could give a little insight into the popularity of New Plaza these day's, as it used to be our go to drinking haunt. Mickey's Bar, Mr. Bean bar's 1&2 and Jane's Bar, along with several others. We'd usually end up in the collection of bar's after The Sailor Bar on Soi 8 where there was always live music every night. Now all sadly gone.
Yes the town is changing Manos, I did a bit of New Plaza at the end of a walking street video a wee while back, but although most were open it was very quiet. I will try to add it on to a video in the near future 🙏🙏
Great clip David as I always say what ever the ticket is for travel still cheaper in Thailand then other countries which cost a bundle especially Hotels.
Nice video. I will be there in 2 weeks. 70 years old. When I look for a beer bar I want my seat to have a back to it. Stools are not comfy for a long time. Don't know if others feel the same.
There is a decent 711, just on the corner of Soi 15 (very close) Many Indian Restaurants around the intersection of Soi 15 and 2nd road, although my favourite is on soi 13/4, Tarka House (also very close)
My question as well. At this point I am just as interested in buying new, as I will be making 4 consecutive monthly trips starting this month. Where to store it when I am away is also an issue as I will only be renting a VT6 condo on each stay. I will ask them if they have a secure storage area, or the bike shop I might buy it from.
Hi David. I think anyone one who can't understand your accent has led a very sheltered life. When there is the odd noun or verb I don't recognise I just Google it! Next time you are leaving MiT to the junction at SB where Trenchtown is virtually opposite could you give a mention to the bar on the right hand side corner called Number One Bar. The owner Wan is an old friend of mine and a lovely lady who's usually in the bar. She used to run 2 bars with the same name in MiT at the Treetown end near the Buddha statue. It's a very nice bar for people watching with good attentive staff who aren't pushy. Whilst it's too small to comfortably fit a pool table it shows live premier league football and other sport on a good size screen and if you ask Wan or one of the ladies they'll let you use her laptop to play the music of your choice. Cheers!
David. Do you know what the deal is with the Warehouse nightclub? I thought it had opened but it looks like the hat vendors have taken over again? Also, the bar in Treetown on the righthand corner as you turn right opposite the Big Bell bar always has the band playing at jet engine decibel levels (Smoke on the Water) that it's impossible to sit and have a beer there!! The music isn't bad but the bar's mostly empty because they play so loud (IMO)!!
Back in Thailand 30th December. Girlfriend stays in the base condo. I can understand your accent ok.im from Northern Ireland. My brother lives in sunny saltcoats
my god david the place is dead high season used to always start beginning of november right throu until mid january its going to be tought for all theses bars after january sad times ahead
Dave. Its quiet in Pattaya for several reasons, but mates of mine are in Nana area and you cant get a seat in the main bars last night. Prices are roughly the same as LK metro and a larger number of attractive girls. Pattaya is outpricing itself and needs to realise this. The large majority of Indians visiting Walking street are not big spenders and are only here for very short stay. I will be amazed if high season will actually "high"😉
Yes I know there are several reasons behind, I think the girl pricing is also an issue. Not so sure on the comparative drink prices, I (and others) found Bangkok very expensive for just a bottled beer. In fact, Lady Love does a nightly special where spirit and mixer are just 90 Baht. Typically Im in Fever bar, where a pint of Heineken is a mere 80 Baht. I think my last trip to Hillary outside Nana I was 160 for a bottled beer, although maybe inside Nana there are some cheaper alternatives
I planned to be there right now, flights are extortion, exchange rate is down , I'm going to leave it for this year , I'm not giving in to the extortion.. thanks for your efforts 👍
This has been one of my best trips ever to PATTAYA.. can't believe I go back next week
Great to hear Paul, many seem to like it how it is now. You have room to move and definitely plenty of choice. Hope you make it back again soon, safe travels
Very enjoyable video. Good to see that you've attracted more than 15,000 subscribers in such a short period of time.
Yes Pete, I remember someone saying you will be up to 10K by Christmas, and I not replied Not a chance😂😂
Thanks David for your informative video
Very welcome Peter
Brilliant as always David and personally I liked that you skipped walking street this time. Walking street is not my thing and should be avoided when looking for a good time in pattaya i.m.o.

Walking street is David’s other video. This one’s Central Pattaya.

@@DSPattaya Yeah same as Pattaya Beach Club we’re “renovating”. Believe it when it happens.
Thanks again for giving a shout out David always appreciated. And I'm so glad I wasn't there or I'd have been a drunking mess on camera 😂
You are most welcome Jimmi, trust you had a good night out then 😂
Awesome video, was only there a couple of weeks ago, and spent most of my time around here. Lots of faces of people I bet met along the way , felt like I was there again. Bring on 2023. Cheers 👍

Glad you enjoyed!

Great clip again. Any spot / bar which is a hangout of freelancers? Thx for your suggestions
Coconut bar
Excellent all around
Good to see more people there. Great video. Love Lengkee and Subway intersection too LOL . Soi pothole MIT are some of my favorite streets to visit.
Yes all very popular Kevin
Highlight of my Friday night back in the UK,see you in a week,there in person!!!
Hi David have you ever thought about doing some food reviews on your regular route like Sunday roast fish and chips just a thought
I keep that for the other channel Vince 🙏
Nice as always Davy💪👍
Another great video keep going
Another well narrated and brilliantly shot vlog.

@@DSPattaya Thanks David, you're a gem stone.
Dave whats the go with all the motor bikes parked on LK Metro, hardly any room left for walkers
I really don't know Gerry, is complete madness
Was good to meet you last week David. I had my first trip to windmill. Goodness me. 😅
And you Darcy, glad you enjoyed your visit to Windmill, Upstairs in Kink is also meant to be very popular
@@DSPattaya yes David, was there two. So much fun. Think same owner for both
Great clip David as I always say what ever the ticket is for travel still cheaper in Thailand then other countries which cost a bundle especially Hotels.
For sure Phil, I think some hotels have started to increase to high season rates, in anticipation, hope it doesn;t bite them in the bum
Nice video. I will be there in 2 weeks. 70 years old. When I look for a beer bar I want my seat to have a back to it. Stools are not comfy for a long time. Don't know if others feel the same.
Yes Im sure many prefer the ones with backs, the bar owners dont normally like them as they take up a huge amount of space.
David, I have been watching your channel for quite some time, would be nice to meet up and have a beer when I arrive in January
@7:20 what is that person selling, wearing the navy blue jean shorts with a ponytail? Also @25:45 someone selling something similar.
Lottery tickets. They are everywhere.
Hi David Sir,
Need your Help,
Want some information about Hotel Kokotel/NETA location nearbys and indian restaurant 7/11
There is a decent 711, just on the corner of Soi 15 (very close) Many Indian Restaurants around the intersection of Soi 15 and 2nd road, although my favourite is on soi 13/4, Tarka House (also very close)
@@DSPattaya Thanks for your reply Sir, 🙏
How much is this place from walking street 🤔
WHERE can I rent a GOOD pushbike in Pattaya, David??? - perhaps we could ride together, in three weeks time...🙂
My question as well. At this point I am just as interested in buying new, as I will be making 4 consecutive monthly trips starting this month. Where to store it when I am away is also an issue as I will only be renting a VT6 condo on each stay. I will ask them if they have a secure storage area, or the bike shop I might buy it from.

No customers I would say
It’s a nightclub. Don’t open til 10pm so of course there won’t be any customers that early.
Back in Thailand 30th December. Girlfriend stays in the base condo. I can understand your accent ok.im from Northern Ireland. My brother lives in sunny saltcoats
At last, someone who understands me 😂😂 Have a great trip when it comes
Looks very quiet to me for high season although other you tubers are saying how busy it is . ( not you David lol )
Great vlog as usual
my god david the place is dead high season used to always start beginning of november right throu until mid january its going to be tought for all theses bars after january sad times ahead
The place is far from dead. Its just different and well spread out
I was in pattaya last week. Trust me.. it's not dead.
I understand about 50%of what your saying David but the subtitles only understands about 20%.
Hopefully you never set it to UK English, it should work better under Jockinese 🤣🤣
First 🏆
Any Canadian and Americans there cause those are my bros

the USD exchange rate is being crusheddd
On yer bike
2nd
Thailand always inflates its currency come High season.
I will be further away this time but I am still going to check out my old haunts along Buakhao and Chaiyapoon.
Its not too far away, and you know Bolt is so easy to use, even if you dont have a data plan, there is always someone with a phone close by
I planned to be there right now, flights are extortion, exchange rate is down , I'm going to leave it for this year , I'm not giving in to the extortion.. thanks for your efforts 👍
Jock Ster, the rate has more movement that knickers on Soi 6, you should take a look for February, getting some good reports on better deals around
