I’m sure Pattaya was well known for “water sports” way before this. ????????????

Anybody else in Jomptien have any idea this was going on?

 

Sounds like a nice outdoor event.

Huh? What? Jomtien? Nope, didn't have a clue anything was happening.

I thought Soi 6 provides water sports 24/7 *365.

(Heard about it from a friend????.)

silly me, Pattaya, water sports.

One of my pet peeves about Thailand...  We usually heard of these events only after they were finished.

Was held opposite the Sunshine Cafe (Soi 7 ?) all i could see were surfboards being raced back into shore by guys stood on them with paddles

 

As usual any chance of having a quiet beer went out the window thanks to a shrill womans voice coming over the speakers commenting on the races...........akin to the long boat race commentators.................
