Pattaya Beach Road and the Dodgy Chicane - Vlog 121\r
\r
A Pattaya Vlog where I took a stroll from Central Pattaya road to Soi 8 at sunset. Then I took a mototaxi to Soi Buakhao, and had a quick beer at the dodgy Soi Buakhao chicane. \r

Prosthetic leg guy\r
\r
Ive seen a few guys in Pattaya who have a disability or prosthetic limb. Im sure that some are living on disability living allowance from the West. The cheap cost of living and tropical climate in Thailand must be very attrive rather than living holed up somewhere in the West, especially around winter time. \r
\r
World Wide Agogo is no more\r
\r
This gogo bar closed for good in October 2016, and had been open for decades since Beach Road was nothing more than a dirt track. Id never ventured inside myself, and now will never know what it was like.\r
\r
Running a bar in Thailand can be very unforgiving and times change. If a bar doesnt adapt to the current trends or stand out by being unique in some way its scary how quick they can go out of business.\r
\r
Electrical box left wide open!\r
\r
Im not sure what was going on here, maybe someone opened it looking to steal something, or maybe someone was fixing it and left it open. Either way, with children walking past it was a health and safety disaster!\r
\r
Royal Cliff Garden Condominium\r
\r
On Pratumnak hill there are 4 tower blocks that stand out, this is the Royal Cliff condos that were built in 1997. When I checked they were luxury apartments only and the smallest one for sale was 3 bedroom at half a million bucks.\r
\r
Next to the Hilton hotel is View Talay 6 apartment block built in 2008. It has a variety of units available from small studios priced around $111k. This is the apartment block where the famous Tim Sharky resides, and is a common last stop for people wishing to join the Pattaya flying club. \r
\r
Hazard lights means you are going straight??!!!\r
\r
In Thailand cars going straight at intersections sometimes put on their hazard lights to indicate they are going straight. Im not sure if this is taught in the driving schools of Thailand, but its a curious thing and definitely be aware of this if youre on the roads.\r
\r
Soi Buakhao dangerous, crazy road\r
\r
At around 10:22 we pass the Soi Buakhao entrance to LK Metro. There were many parked cars, motorbikes overtaking on the wrong side, pedestrians walking, people pulling out of side roads all leading to very hazardous driving conditions and not for the faint hearted. Ride/drive defensively in Thailand especially in conditions such as these. \r
\r
The Soi Buakhao dodgy chicane\r
\r
This part of the road at the north end of Soi Buakhao is a bit bonkers. Its a sweeping chicane with no sidewalks and small alleys that veer off it. If you sip a beer in one of the nearby bars see how many near misses you can count as its definitely a hotspot for traffic accidents.\r
