Sip a drink, relax and enjoy the show along the street.”

There are a lot of stalls with a variety of items, from clothes, shoes, gifts, toys, electrical gadgets, etc. Prices are slightly bargain-able. There’s also a variety of foods like BBQ/Roast Chicken, Pork, seafoods, local Thai cuisine, western foods, fresh juice and fresh fruits. This is one place not to miss if you visit Pattaya.”

Koh Larn | Koh Kaaam | Samae Sarn “Koh Larn, Koh Kaam & Samae Sarn island are my favourite beaches. I sway on a swing overlooking the peaceful sea, laze around and am tranquilized by the moving blue shades of water. I love kayaking on the crystal-clear water with baby waves bopping around me when I row the kayak I feel like I am playing the guitar.�
