Iguana walking in Pattaya

 City : Pattaya, Chon Buri Thailand

Encountered it in Pattaya Avenue. At first I thought it was a pet which escaped.

After a while, the owner picked it up. Ah, I was surprised.

Puppies in View Point Pattaya Sea island touch

 City : Pattaya, Chon Buri Thailand

I have often visited this place to enjoy the scenery of the Pattaya sea.

At this visit, I met cute inhabitants.

Two adult dogs and three puppies.

I came to see them over the next few days.

My favorite is this puppy.

I saw scene that this puppy is taken his bones by other puppy.

So, I provided food him preferentially.

The other puppies were also cute, after all I provided food all dogs.

When I visited here just before returning home country, only one black puppy existed. It seems that the other puppies have been taken by somebody.

I hope they are good owner.

Walking along 3rd Rd in Central Pattaya

 City : Pattaya, Chon Buri Thailand

I often went through this road by motorcycle.

And I was interested in about the local restaurant in this area.

So, I check along this road on foot this time.

The starting point is "CHOOM SAI" intersection crossed 3rd Rd and Central Rd.

  From Central Rd to soi 23 at around 4 pm  

At first I started walking without setting a goal in particular.

From this point there are no building for a while so I cross the road and return to ”COOM SAI".

  From soi 18 to Central Rd at around 5 pm  

I continue to walk from the front of Seven Eleven on Soi 18.

There were many attractive restaurants here too.

During this time, some restaurant were not opened.

I have an impression that around here will be lively at night, so I will walk again later.

  From Central Rd to soi 23 at around 7 pm  

On another day, change the time and walk the same route as last time.

  From soi 18 to Central Rd at around 8 pm  

As before, return the way at the same point.

Please forgive me that the picture is worse at night.

Good information were got for eating place.

Minivan Station in South Pattaya

 City : Pattaya, Chon Buri Thailand

Minivans are often used as transportation for Thai local peoples.
The fare is reasonable and many vans are available on each route.
If these can be used, moving conveniently to Thai local area is possible.
However, most of the explanatory notation is Thai word.
This is a difficult for foreign tourists.

Therefore I post information collected in local.

It is an airfield about 10 km southeast from Central Pattaya.

Visited in hopes that could see the takeoff and landing of some plane.

Then let's get into the airfield from the road.

The runway is lawn and the length is 480m.

  Day 1  

The weather on this day is cloudy and windy.
Get on a ferry at 8:00 am, hoping for the weather to change sunny.
And arrived at Tawaen Beach Pier.
The wind is blowing strongly, I did not notice it on the sea.

Most of the passengers get off and the lightened ship is much swayed by the waves.
The passengers still on board were struggling to get off.

The weather does not recover.

Furthermore, unfortunately, my stomach has gone bad.

So this day I withdrew. Avoided reckless behavior while traveling.

  Day 2  

It is a challenge again.

As before, I arrived at Tawaen Beach Pier by ferry.

The weather and my physical condition are good on the day.

Tawaen Beach

Here is the most recommended beach.

There is a pier for liner ferry and it has beautiful water.

There is a floating pier in center of the beach.
Various tour boats will be find here.

Walk this pier.

It shakes by the waves, but it can be walked with safety because it is wide.

Para glider

Moved to view area to see the beach from above.

Then there were people who enjoy paragliding in front of Giant Monk in Guanyin Temple.

They were floating in the sky comfortably.

I go further up from here.

Tawan Beach View Point

There is a statue in the center of observation deck and the beach can be overlooked. 

I go further up from here.

Buddha's Footprint

It can be arrived here after climbing steep stairs.

Sweat a lot. However, the beautiful sight can be seen from the stair.

This seems to be the footprint.

I was surrounded by dogs on the way, when you come please be careful.
