- Nong Nooch Tropical Garden, 163 Sukhumvit Road ; tel. -38429321 . Beautiful gardens with waterfalls, elephant shows, "Cultural Extravaganza" performances 4 times a day, restaurants etc. - enough to fill an entire day. In Feb 2007 they had major construction ongoing. We did the whole place in 90 minutes. Disappointing. Yet another place in Pattaya that thinks it is acceptable to charge foreigners more than Thais .200 baht for locals, 400 baht for foreigners. This practice is illegal in Thailand but strangely nobody in authority is prepared to do something about it.

Sacred places
- Buddha Hill is one of the highest points in Pattaya. At the summit is the biggest Buddha statue in Pattaya, and nearby is a beautiful Chinese-style sacred area dedicated to Confucius and Lao-zi. The next hill, just across the Phratamnak Road, has the best Pattaya Bay coastline viewpoint and is also worth a visit, especially for sunset.
- Sanctuary of Truth, 206/2 Moo 5, Soi 12, Naklua Road, ; tel. -38225407 / -38367229 . An unfinished project, but worth a visit even now. The main attraction is a huge ancient-style wooden temple; nearby is a small dolphinarium with dolphin shows at 11:30 and 15:30.

- Three Kingdoms Theme Park, 100 Moo 9, Tambon Pong; tel. -38421428 . Adjacent to Horseshoe Point (20 minutes from Pattaya), this is a Chinese-style garden filled with pagodas, murals and figures from the Chinese epic , and more an expression of filial piety than a theme park. Perhaps worth a quick look on a slow day, but unlikely to offer much to visitors not familiar with the story. 60 baht/adult, 30 baht/child.

The Red Ground
Made by Araleya
There was a bird and a fisherman hunted for fishes. A man walked around to collected fishery net but still get none of fishes, a bird stood concentrately on red ground and finally caught a fish. Looking around Iit was wonderflu to see different activities not so far from each othet.. banana boat, scooter but that didn't matter to this small secret cape. It's not too easy but not to difficult to find a peaceful place in Pattaya, place people think about sea, beach, beer and girls. From Pattaya Park Hotel, people often turn left where beach umbreela are just like colorful springing mushrooms. I as well went there, just a decisive moment before going back to hotel's fence, I decided to walk on the right, passing through unintreresting small building, behind that its another world. Silent curve beach under shade of big trees, there is a small rock formation like little cape and one fisherman there. I walked to the tip of that little cape, sea water is just below my feet, just feel like sitting in the middle of the sea.. soft wind, sailors, mountian, a bird and a man hunting fro fishes. It was quite unbelievable I could find this feeling in Pattaya. To find this little rocky cape is just my little delightful adventure, otherwise I couldn't get the layer of mountain as background.. Meanwhile all my friends, hundred of them enjoy gambling, slider, swiming, drinking while i just find a secret peacful place of mine. Just wish I could be, for long, blessed to find this peaceful beautiful hidden here and there. South Pattaya, Chonburi Thailand
Life's a beach . .
Made by grantthai
. . then you gotta go back to work! After trying a vertorama I thought I'd try a multi-shot traditional panorama. This is a handheld 7 shot panorama, of 6 exposures taken from left to right, overlapping about 20%, and one to get the top of the main building in (I'd erroneously cut it it's top off in the main series, oops), stitched in CS3. Jomtien, on Thailand's Eastern Seaboard. Please do view large at 1024 pixels wide, but for the more adventurous have a look at the original, although it's a 36.3megapixel image!
Storm front
Made by grantthai
It was amazing how fast this front approached. Within 2 or 3 minutes of this shot, no more, we were running up the beach to get into a hotel entrance - but wind and torrential rain caught up with then overtook us. It was all over in 15 minutes, but hotel awnings had been ripped off, beach umbrellas blown away and a few trees toppled. With this experience it is frightening to imagine just how fast the 2004 tsunami must have surprised people with its speed.
