More Pattaya Pics - time for the Beach! (G-rated)

[BKKsaint 1]

Hey Guys!

 

Since I got such a good response from my last set of photos of Lovely Pattaya, I decided to post another segment- this time we're headed to the beach. There's a mix of photos here- Jomtien Beach, Pattaya, as well as a day trip to Koh Lan. Enjoy!

Great photos!

 

I think this topic should be in the open section where even non-members can see it. I'll leave a link in the members bar so you can find it.

A terrific set of photos, which give a good idea of what Koh Lan is about, in particular.

 

Even the Jomtein and Pattaya beaches look pretty clean.

 

Good to see the sewerage system seems to be still working.

you never said what camera you used?

[BKKsaint 1]

Sorry-

 

I used my trusty pansonic Lumix LZ-3 for all the shots. It's a handy compact all-occassion camera... perfect for vacation snapshots. Great picture sharpness, vivid colors, and best of all- Lumix's optical image stabilizaton. I've taken photos at dusk and in complete darkenss (other than street lights and neon signs), and had them come out good... without using a tripod or flash.

 

The LZ-3 is an older 2006 model- they've since come out with a LZ-5. I've since bought 2 other Lumixes- they're that good. I cannot wait to be back in Pattaya to take more pics to share with everyone!
