Pattaya Soi 17 South and Jomtien

[Idefix 2,275]

Today I took my camera for my morning walk.

No bar; no agogo; no sexy ladies;

just random pictures from where I walked.

 

Monks looking for food alnong Pattaya Tai:

Who said that traffic was always terrible on Pattaya Tai:

Still big works at day-night hotel:

Soi 17:

Normal way to Thepprasit is turning right. I went straight ahead:

For those who look for Land Office (when buying condo or house):

And yet another "gentlemans club". Have to come back late afternoon...

Do you know what is this kind of crane in the back? Answer further:

Cheap Charly condo

Cheap Charly condo Deluxe

Arriving Thepprasit:

Normal arrival from Soi 17 on the right:

There are 4 kart circuits here, 2 on ground (cross) and 2 on bitumen (speed). Too early here but in the afternoon you can see carts outside. Many people some evening or week-end. Pro-karts really go very fast !

Here is Pattaya Bungy Jump for those who like hear thai girl screaming

On the right is a PaintBall place with a now way bigger war-area in the back. (blue nets not always easy to see on pictures).

Biginner's circuit:

Soon to become hamburgers:

Forget name of this condo in the back; 2 stories for each appartment; but still not finish...

Frog fishing :)

I was told it's not authorised to pump water from these big pounds... maybe he does know...

Huge works on roads. Prevision of big new condos?

A place I came once and really enjoyed. You have your own small house over water with you karaoke machine, a small table, nates for the floor and curtains if you want some privicy. Girls really liked there (but drank to much to appreciate it...)

chang & chang

Something make me turn left:

Gentleman club again. For evenings again...

Looks like a golf practice I don't know in the back. Not far Macro I think:

Not all house are 10 Mo baht house in this area

Very quiet; good

Here I was: Sukhumvit 62:

Footbridge over Sukhumvit for several schools access:

LKanyong: Similar to HomePro or HomeWork, but often cheaper, and you can negociate price at the desk oposite cashier desk

Cable Water Skiing park:

What do you want to see today?

Do you know what this kind of racket is? Answer at the end.

I do like this place, but too early and only people cleanning or giving water to the many flowers. Just avoid to come here week-end afternoons...

Ok. Far enough for today. I cross to come back:

This is the entrance to DinoPark:

and this is the one who observed me while I took pictures

Don't know which project. But grow well since my last visit.

Wasn't monorail project cancel?

Jomtien main post office. Can help.

The Village; a nice place but failling shoping place

I really like walk in this garden. And they take great care of it. Good.

 

* the "crane" was Pattaya Bungy Jump (Elastic jum)

* the "racket" is the tool used to collect/pick mangos on trees

 

To Be Continue...

2nd part: Return home (Pattaya Tai) from The Village

 

Chai Yaphruek (spell?)

Crossing with new "2nd Road Jomtien". Still not really completed

VT8:

Access a lot of more easy now :)

Pattaya Water Park Tower in the back. Good direction:

A huge nice selling office:

1 hugly big condo:

3 hugly big condos:

New condos...

3 hugly big VT condos:

Soi 5, aka Soi Immigration:

Some nice new ending projects along the beach:

Sometime I think I should learn Russian, not Thai...

Pattaya Water Park

Nice beaches, but so dirty. Plastic everywhere

Many trees, shadow, "fresh" air. I like this area:

Here is the end of the easy walking path way. From now it's not really difficult but it's block's walking or jumping. No climbing but not for every one, and you need good no-sliding shoes.

This tree didn't choose the easiest place to grow !

Better to walk here when tide is low. Walk carefully:

Pattaya Yacht club:

Every thing in Russian, and most tourists here look Russian...

Yes, better at low tide, but easy to walk on the wall:

Here use to be the most difficult passage, but "they" throw big blocks in the hole and now easy :)

LightHouse and Spinnaker restaurant:

Walking on the wall again

New lighthouse project. Look nice and "on" the beach:

Big working continue for the port project:

A familiar name...

Closed. Will come back an evening...

Home!

 

That's all folks :)

Hi,

I checked my way on Google Earth

It's about 24 km long (15 miles) and it took me 5 hours (6-11am) to do it, walking at my rythm.

Here is the map :
