Great video! Thanks for the ride and commentary from your bike. I'll be enjoying my first trip to Thailand in a few months, and videos like this are so helpful in planning for places to visit...things to do. Thanks again! Randy E.🍻🍻
Mate love your ride around, heading back 15 August - Trev how do we find out about your Darkside tours?? Really appreciate your time and effort mate..🙏🙏
I like these tours of east Pattaya. You don't always have to go into central Pattaya to have a good time. Prices over there are probably better over there as well.
I finally moved to the Darkside! It only took me 3 years! I'm in a nice village with a pool and sauna. 24k a month for a freshly renovated 3br2b. The owner bought 2 brand new 65in TVs. I can't complain!
Hi Trev…, I’m new to your channel…, great videos by the way! What I find fascinating Trev.,are the hydro lines depicted in many of your videos. One would assume if one needs hydro its a simple matter of plug & play by stringing a line onto or into a grid? It all looks sooooo unorganized & scarily dangerous.
heya Trevor. highly doubt i'd make my way out there but still a nice tour. hi Bo once again good job with the overlays/inserts. don't actually know what to call them as that would require that whadya call it stuff... oh ya editing.
Followed along on google maps and saw some other places that I have highlighted to visit too. Did you know there is a shaolin kung fu school? seems to be worth checking it. Thanks for the view and recommendations.
Might be a good idea to print a detailed map for visitors...most cities have them with printed adds along the sides....you know the type.... print them up and maybe get a loyalty
Hi, just a quick question to your wider audience; Whilst walking around some of the busier parts of Pattaya, there are no side walks and you end up walking on the roads (there is no where else to walk). I found that expats (in the main, I assume) on motorcycles and scooter seemed to throw ‘comment ‘ at us being in their way. The streets are narrow and packed with bars either side, there is no semblance of order and yet these individuals seem to think that pedestrians (or more to the point ‘non permanent residents’) are the issue. Has anyone else experienced this, or am I being hyper aware potentially ‘over sensitive’ ?
I have only visited Pattaya a couple of times, this have never happened to me. I would suggest you be more careful. Perhaps walk on the right side of the road, so you can see oncoming traffic? I think there is some kind of weird order to the madness!
@@Ay_Ole I was and we were in single file facing the ‘bedlam’ and doing our best to stay out of the way. I’m not a small guy but luckily, I am fairly tolerant. Perhaps it was they had too many beers and then trying to ride in those busy areas was just a little too much for them 🤣 only a couple of them and both extremely rude. I guess you get people like that wherever you go🤷🏼♂️
@@golfnut6129 Maybe you were just unlucky then! Beach road and 2nd road are both one way... I don't really understand why the narrowest of the roads are bi directional.
@@Buzzinpattaya - Hi Trev, if you meant "the other side" of the railway I think you're a bit confused, as you start at the far Eastern end, in front of the 'wat'... This is why a map showing the Start Point (as you've usually done before) is so helpful to your new viewers because you can't Google a 'start point'.
Is that where you'd stop on the way back to Pattaya? If you wanted some 'action' you went upstairs for an allocated 30mins. I think I was always done after 20 minutes including a shower afterwards 🤣🤣
...mmm do men actually travel 1/2 was around the World to visit a bar in hopes to play a game or two of pool and hope to talk to the owner of the bar in Pattaya ??? My oh my the lovely ladies would have no chance to earn any $$$
@@jonhobson3592 but will they need to pay for the drinks AND beat the Owner at a game of pool in hopes that he will stay with them for a Short Time or a Long Time ?
from your looks and how you sound, I think you have recovered from your respiratory issued. Do you remember you were caughing and had throat issues. I was worried. Your original beautiful complexions have rreturned and your sun burns are not too red looking. Im happy for all your health and wellness every day Trev !! good luck !! and be safe !!
You might as well be in Timbuktu without a map showing where you are Trev. You’re not doing these businesses any favors if no one knows where you are or how to get there.
@@Buzzinpattaya …Trev, you put inserts of hotel rooms, condos, and restaurants of every place you talk about. Why can’t you insert one map, one time, with all the spots you are highlighting clearly marked? If your goal is to do both your viewers and the businesses a favor, you’re failing at that goal.
@@JeddieTYou must be a bit simple if you don't know where in pataya he is.. he tells you the names of the roads. And it's not like it's the a hidden gem in pataya. It's the main strip! It's like going to Nevada and saying you can't find Vegas! 😂
Trev, what do you think of the gambling law change? Think it will be a boom. The chinese tourists can't get enough. Hope you get in on the jackpot 😆 🤷♂️
Brother, you literally are talking about how dangerous it is and you aren’t wearing a helmet. We don’t want another go fund me, just wear one mate - even if it messes up your hair.
@@patrickglennon7058 I moved to bang saray and just rode up to Pattaya a night a week for a couple of short times. Had my regulars come stay with me on long times in rotation. Was the perfect balance until I met my girlfriend. Now live with her in Hua Hin.
I went to Aqua Demie about 12-13 years ago. A minibus organised by Josh from the Irish Rovers took a group of us on a crawl around the Dark Side. I remember the ST rooms along the side of the pool at Aqua Demie 😁
U shure took the long route! I walked from Sukhumvit to find those bars. 1st stop was the grocers on the way into this street. Across the tracks I was soaking wet with sweat and lungs chock full of vehicle exhaust. Maggie May was ok, bar nexxt door was IMHO ladyboys and blends of same. Fully unimpressed i walked on into a semi residential area full of dogs wandering. Backtracked and same same all bars women were at or over 40 years of age. Sunburned as i was and in need of a sit down i did at a bar near the supermarket. Zero girls greet nor even seemed friendly. I assume 3 pm was too early.................. Anyhow it felt great cross the tracks and get back to familiar territories. I do not recommend the dark side unless u speak and understand thai and are over 50
You seriously must have had a bad day, have lived over this side 10 years, it's excellent, most if not all girls speak English, sound like you were lost as MM isn't even in Eat Pattaya it's in Jomtien and Soi Chiyapoon
@@Buzzinpattaya I walked Sukhumvit and was in area of second road out exercising . I saw the entrance on east side of sukhumvit. went up road entrance and walked what seemed an hour in high heat to darkside bar boring but had possibilities. Bar next door was ladyboys imho. Zero actually interesting in the area after i left and went back to the road and made a left to full boring places. Even the massage shops was closed at 3 pm! So , anyhow i guess there are night time possibilities', but why bother since everything closer and easier at the beach anyhow. English is spoken but girls older much older and seemed all housewives or with children if a female. I also sensed there would be plenty stray wandering dogs out at night though I avoided them due to the high heat that trip. Nice cheap condo's and Townhouses everywhere and an easy 60k fixer upper 100 sq m units too
