Pictures from around Pattaya

The new 3D Walking Street sign is quite impressive, although I hate to think of the amount of electricity it uses.

I don't know how many revolving images it displays, but I suspect a lot.

If anyone likes classic cars I went to V8 Fastlane yesterday opposite Genesis Darksiders and they have some really nice cars and Bikes on show. Not too mention they do a mean Burger plus other food. Well worth a trip out to Maprachan if you like these kind of things.

[Samsonite]

Like the old Jag. :)

Looks like the cars in there are cycled thru and change.  Time I was in there they had my younger times dream car.  A 67 Camaro with a big engine.  

Agreed the food is very good too.

Well done Catbird, beautiful car.  Like Shooter many of us wanted the Camaros, Firebirds and GTOS'. I was always a foreign car guy with low end Porsche ,MGB,and Tr3. Foolishly sold them and now wished I retained them to give to my son.

Just out of interest to this Aussie what is a nice car like that worth nowadays?

Beautiful ride.  I hope he's pampering it and kissing it good night every night!  😃

I DID have a 67 Camaro but alas it was a 327 with 210 HP not the hi performance one.  And an automatic.  Probably why I'm alive today.  LOL.

Kev - looking at classics.autotrader.com seems they range from $20,000 (600,000 baht) for a car that might run to $250,000 (8,000,000 baht) for a car that LOOKS like an original car in perfect condition but the underlying engine suspension etc is modern and really fast.

$50,000 seems the sweet spot if you just want one that is solid and drives OK.

But 5K back then is worth more than 50K now, due to inflation

Mine wasn't meant as a negative comment. Inflation was assumed (obviously). 🙂

I'm sorry if you took my comments the wrong way as I did not mean it as a negative comment. What I meant was the price is about the same today in real US$, accounting for inflation.

Quite a few restaurants/cafes opening in the new complex on Naklua Road near Terminal 21.

 

 

 

 

I had a conversation with the operator of this attraction.  I was advised that it should be operating next week.  The cost will be 280 baht for Thai Citizens and 480 for non Thai Citizens.
