Land of Smiles

Thailand is Cambodia's neighbor to the West, and this forum is dedicated to Thai news, stories, reviews, blogs, videos, Thai people and anything else related to the country. A lot of expats have both lived and worked in Cambodia and Thailand, and this area is a place to discuss all aspects of life in Thailand and what's going on there. Most topics are about Bangkok and Pattaya because of their larger populations of expatriates and tourists in those cities, but this is for all things Thai.

Yesterday passed by Pattaya on the way back to Bangkok. Haven't been into Pattaya for a while so decided to enter Pattaya to have a look at what's happening.

For those who missed Pattaya like myself I made 2 videos and wanna share them with those of you wondering the scenes in Pattaya these days.

This is a video entering Pattaya via the Motorway and driving along the Sukhumvit Road



This second and longer video below saw me started driving along the Pattaya's 2nd Road (at around (11am) then turning into the Pattaya Beach Road at the end of the 2nd Road near the Terminal 21 Mall. Driving along the Beach Road till it ended at the Pattaya Walking Street and then proceeded along Pattaya South Road towards Sukhumvit Road.

Hope you guys enjoy these 2 videos
