A decidedly cooler Pattaya. Temperature dipped to 18C last night! While everyone else was wearing jackets, this hardy Canuck continued as per tropical usual! … more random photos

Not sure exactly what she was trying to get across to all but interesting visual.

Poor photo but taken at the conclusion of an amusing scene I witnessed. The short in stature woman with an orange T-shirt saying “Giants” was being teased by the motorbike taxi guys. She had just finished giving them their due when I tried to capture the moment.

🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭 January 4, 2025 Pattaya Thailand - HAPPY NEW YEAR

My first New Years in Thailand celebrated half a day earlier in Canada but done here in style! Great fun! A few assorted pictures from the first days of the year.

🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭 December 30, 2024

It’s Pattaya time. Mostly just relax but still wander about occasionally taking pictures. Thailand has about 35 million visitors and Pattaya 7-10 million annually. At times it’s very busy. The beach of course, far more relaxing.
