Wednesday January 4 ~ Onward to Pattaya....

 Hello everyone! Today I am going to move on to the South for a few days. I don't have any big plans yet, just kind of taking it all as it comes. Today was mainly just getting to Pattaya, and getting settled in.

 I woke up this morning early in order to get in some swimming time at the hotel pool.... Good call, but the water was ice cold!!
Beautiful pool setting

At seven in the morning it is all mine
View from poolside area

Great seating too!





After my swim it was back to the room so I could do a little laundry...... Hmmmm  ~ Strange washing machine!

I just need to wash and dry my clothes... I do not need a cum dryer!!!  I love when foreign countries try using English. Monica Lewinski could have used this machine... Sorry if my humor is too much for some of you.
Everyone says "We have English Breakfast" ~ If I wanted English breakfast I would go to England!!
It is a traditional Thai brunch for me!
Done with Bangkok for now ~ Waiting on taxi to go to Pattaya Beach.
Another Taxi ride
The billboards here are amazing ~ some are easily longer than a football field!
Got too see a couple of cool old VW's when we stopped along the freeway ~ Right hand drive baby!!  Just like mine at home.



By the time I got to my new room (which is absolutely tiny) and Justin and I went out walking around for about an hour, I was beat. I ended up falling asleep for about six hours, and woke up at about midnight. Wide awake we went out for a couple of hours.
Here is Justin... I worked with him in Afghanistan. He decided to make the run down to Pattaya with me even though he has to fly out tomorrow. This was shot was taken while we were sitting at one of the little bars on walking street playing the dice game ~ Jackpot.
Put money down and the girls always win!!



Entering Walking Street ~ World Famous!!




This wasn't here last time... Pretty cool looking!
This one has been here forever... Well, it was here the first time I passed through these parts.
Nice night view down the beach
I'm done... Ah, some food on my way to the room.
This was actually part of tomorrow, but it was so damn early that I will just post it here.

  2. Enjoyed seeing your photos. Everywhere seems to be pretty clean? Like no litter in the streets. Do people spit in the streets there?
