Just some photos taken with my new toy from a recent trip to the Eastern Sea Board - Pattaya, Sattahip and Sai Kaew Beach.

Arriving in Pattaya!

chitown · 16-06-2008, 07:13 PM

2 photos (one day and one night) from the Vantage Point lookout in Pattaya.

chitown · 16-06-2008, 07:22 PM

Million Stones Park is a touristy spot you can go to for 300 baht if you are a farang and 120 baht if you are Thai. I know that 300 baht is not much, but the double pricing in Thailand gets old as I live here. This bird would not accept my Thai married Visa in my passport as proof that I reside here so I snapped a picture of her "stealing" 300 baht from me!

chitown · 16-06-2008, 07:26 PM

Out of respect for the ole' Thai flag waving in the wind, I did not put a fight over 300 baht......

chitown · 16-06-2008, 07:32 PM

For 300 baht, you get to see a croc show, some giant catfish, some caged up animals and some old rocks and some flowers. Hardly worth the 420 baht to get in for the 2 of us.

chitown · 16-06-2008, 08:03 PM

We got out of there and I met DD over at the Sea Falcon Resort.

We both took some pics of this guy jetting about on the waves.

chitown · 16-06-2008, 08:06 PM

Nightfall was approaching so DD left and took the nice weather with him.

Not sure if he did not like the sam-ich I bought him and he cursed the nice weather or it was just another rainy season evening.......

chitown · 16-06-2008, 08:11 PM

The next day we went to Khao Chee Jun. This is a golden Buddha in the side of a mountain just outside of Pattaya. I have heard two stories. One that is the etching is made entirely of real gold and the second story is that just the nipples are made of gold. Either way the place is guarded by the Navy, so don't think of going and stealing the nipples.

chitown · 16-06-2008, 08:28 PM

Nearby this Buddha, I located another one of my favorite tourists attractions - a farang diner!!! I new by the name Mc's Diner! Inside I found David from England and he whipped us up some burgers, fries and cokes for 350 baht. David has the diner, a campground, an ATV park, elephant treking, carriages pulled by ponies and a tour company. He located a stones throw from Khao Chee Jun and just before the Silver Lake Vineyard. Mc's Diner : 089-888-4340 and 089-990-0937.

chitown · 16-06-2008, 08:32 PM

The Silver Lake Vineyard is a nice spot to eat, take some photos and check out some flowers and grape vines.

chitown · 16-06-2008, 08:34 PM

Off to the beaches.

We started at Jomtien Beach

chitown · 16-06-2008, 08:36 PM

Stopped at Golden Beach near the Sea Falcon Resort.

jandajoy · 16-06-2008, 08:37 PM

Smashing photos. Thanks. Did you not find the chips at Daves somewhat less than perfect? Top spot, shit chips.

chitown · 16-06-2008, 08:40 PM

We ended the beach excursions spending half a day at Sai Khao beach in Sattahip.

chitown · 16-06-2008, 08:41 PM

It was fun to see the Chinese tourists capsize in 2 inches of water!!

daveboy · 16-06-2008, 11:51 PM

Very nice but where are all the loose women?

chitown · 16-06-2008, 11:56 PM

Sorry mate.

It was a family trip!

BosseO · 17-06-2008, 12:02 AM

Really nice pictures, which model of Nikon are you using?

NPU (Nikon Professional User).

chitown · 17-06-2008, 12:07 AM

D40X with Nikkor VR lens.

I had a Coolpix L1 which I gave to my wife.

sabang · 17-06-2008, 11:24 AM

I live 2km from the Crocodile Farm Chi- U should've PM'd!
Great shots- seems like a snazzy camera.

Incidentally- are they selling wine from this silver lake vineyard yet?
