Hi, what has been new in Pattaya and Jomtien (preferred) and around since January 2024? I'll come back as a tourist, I believe to know many places (within my interests) and wanted to ask you about NEW place that came up just this year. I speak basic Thai, use Google Maps, Grab, Bolt, have own bicycle etc.

 

Interested in:

• Thai-oriented live music (lukthung, morlam, songs for life (Carabao), but not rock/90s)
• Western jazz, maybe blues, maybe classic or crossover, not plain rock, no girlie-bar bands
• Hi profile Thai-oriented live music events Nov 20 – Dec 02
• Restaurants, esp Thai, Vietnamese, Indian, woodfired pizza, Middle East (not fine dining, not in the thick of tourist maelstrom)
• actually good Coffee shops, non-girlie bars (not sports bars)
• Bicycle routes and day trip destinations esp nature (if any)
• Morning markets (fresh food markets; not night markets), good CE style bread
• Bicycle routes and outside destinations (have on bicycle)
• Regular non-naughty massage (apart from usual corner shops and hi-end wellness)
• Interesting atmospheric new-old buildings (hotel, mall etc.) w/ coffee shop to enjoy ambience

 

Not looking for:

Girlie bars, other redlight venues, fine dining,

 

Already aware of:

Music venues i already know : Kon Lah Fun, Sin Lapin Isaan, Hot Tuna Bar, Muzzik Café, Candy Shop, The Stones House, Jazz Pit/Sun Sabella Resto on Hill,  (and still missing Kum Punn, ZAC, Jomtien Morlam, Samrang 3^rd road)

Food Drink places i already know: May's Jomtien, Toto Italian Jomtien, Hops Brewhouse Beach Road, Benjamit Coffee Roasters, Thepprasit Night Market, La Baguette on Hill

 

Thanks!

Geez not asking much are you. How much do you pay for being your personal holiday travel advisor 😆 

 

"Plans too much" comes to mind if you already know Pattaya so well and have only been gone 9 months...
