We started the morning off by grabbing a bhat bus to the north end of Jomtien Beach. Actually, we needed to catch two as the ones from the beach road all turned and we had to take one that was waiting on the edge of the road south. The area is south of Pattaya beyond the hill with the giant Buddha.
We wanted to check out the area as we remember buffalo grazing along that section in the early 1990's. Now, it is more built up but a completely different vibe to the busy section of Pattaya.
As soon as the truck came to the waterfront we got off and walked north to Dongan Beach. It didn't seem very busy or very fabulous. I blame that on the copious, corpulent Russian babushkas!
We walked and walked back towards the point. Eventually, we got tired and headed uphill to connect back to the Thap Phraya Road. It took a bit of Google mapping to find the road, but we did. We were hot and tired.
Lunch was at a local restaurtant before the afternoon nap. We went back out when it starts to get dark at around 6:30 pm. We took another bhat bus to Walking Street. We walked it. We had to avoid the Chinese groups stampeding through the space.
Dinner was light tonight. We just shared three chicken shwarmas from the lady who sells at the end of Soi 10 in the evenings.
