I guess it is the same Al Jazeera I get on Sophon here in Thailand.

Yes if you are in Pattaya, head out on one of the 3 major roads, take a right at the T junction, heading South. That is Sukhumvit, If you rent a little motorcycle it is easy, but a bit dangerous. If there are a few of you, you could have a private hire of a baht bus.

I got a few deck chairs at the North End of town, soi 2 area, on the beach, plenty good view and not too crowded. Missed the music that went with the display.... but the advantage being didn't hear all the waffling too. Fireworks were good, and lasted about 40 minutes, not a patch on years ago as Evil posted above, but enjoyable. A few dopey twats who insist on walking and standing right in-front of you, or packing up their mats. No toilet facilities though, had to boldly walk (knock kneed) into a hotel as if a resident. So consider that end, easier to get about.

Well in the UK it was a checking account ...... These days less so, an account you can withdraw from without notice.

Wow, that has scaled back since the first one I went to. I am sure there was at least 4 different countries putting on a 10-15 minute display one night, countries like China, USA, UAE, Singapore. This year, two twenty minute displays and a long one Saturday night. I remember last year mostly standing around while 'dignitaries' and various stage people waffled about nothing and tried to drum up enthusiasm. Got a bit tedious. I wonder if we will get it in 3 or more languages this year! The fireworks will probably be a sideline to the usual Beach Rd market! (Just remembered, take my side-cutters to get the cable ties off the barriers)

Great, can I come too! It is the Annual International Fireworks Competition.

In the Holiday Inn or Hilton! . In reality on the beach just around Klang... but I am not sure exactly where they are setting up this year. Or how restrictive they are going to get.... these things are not for the Pattaya residents or tourists anymore! Last year they put barriers up and kept the riff-raff off the beach like pigs in a pen, reserving that area for VIPs. Bloody area was empty for ages then people just started climbing over and security gave up. I ended up on the beach in a good spot later but the first hour, cramped in crowds, view obscured before the beach opened was infuriating, I nearly gave up and went to Mistys. I will be there again, one of those annual things the TGF has deemed to be 'we always go' category... like Loy Kratong!

But Gary, what plastic are you using in the ATM machines???? I bet you would have more than 5K in your pocket when you are in Pattaya.....

Thanks for that..... off picture in the panel. I had closed it. duh..... a bit dopey of me!

Of course my savings account is supposedly a pass-book account. If it wasn't for the annual retirement extension needs, I would completely forget!

Well thank for the response but I am not a Chrome user. In Firefox I only seem to see an abridged Google Maps URL so it is of no use to copy. Thanks for confirming that there used to be a 'LINK' button, I though my Alzheimers was accelerating!
