Kamala Sukosol - Pattaya

Not a bad promotional video of Pattaya at all. 

The photography starts off great and there's a jaunty little song by Kamala Sukosol the Jazz Singer and head of Sukosol Group that runs Siam Hotels & Resorts.

There's a cutaway scene to Jomtien beach, written as Chomtien Beach about half way through in the video but the parasols didn't seem the same colour as this year though that might be a memory failure on our part.

Vintage Pattaya - 1971

What a wonderful slice of vintage Pattaya life from 1971. It's a real treat when these rare video uploads give us glimpse into the beauty of the past. 

Pattaya and particularly Jomtien are still fabulous places to live or visit, but it's so easy to see what a jewel it was in the past when US military men started to gather here because of the proximity of the Vietnam war and U-Tapao Air field.

We particularly like the para-sailing scene and the traditional beach huts. 

If you know exactly where there were taken can you leave a comment or let us know?

Jomtien Beach Road

After a quiet September and October, Jomtien Beach Road is starting to get busier. The Russian tourists are arriving in volume, and the weekend Thai visitors from Bangkok are taking up the parking spaces off Jomtien Beach Road.

The weather was a little rainy for a couple of weeks in the last month or so during the quiet season, but the sun is once more out again, the businesses are dusting down and cleaning up their store fronts, and Jomtien Beach is back on the list of top destination spots in Thailand. 

If you decide to visit Pattaya or Jomtien. Drive safely, drink responsibly and enjoy your stay.

Welcome.
