On Walking Street

A night on and around Walking Street.

Random pictures of Pattaya


It is the rainy season meaning rain every day.. but not much rain so far -- no flooding.

These points are extremely sharp.  Whose idea was this?  If someone is pushed or falls against these points they could be killed.

Pattaya Motor Show 2012

The event.

A nice looking car

who would pay this much for a car??



The biggest disappointment was the total absence of "pretties", the ladies who stand next to the cars.  I've never heard of an auto show without them.

Pimpin' the PCX



The Honda PCX is arguably the ugliest motorbike being produced today.   It looks like a truck from the outside and the inside.  It's the opposite of good style.

Maybe for that reason there's a huge aftermarket for ways to personalize this bike.  It's like everyone who buys one hopes that if they toss ever more money at it it will start to look decent.

I'm wondering what this exhaust accessory is.   Maybe some kind of turbocharger so the bike doesn't lumber  along?

Yamaha YZF-R6


There haven't been  updates in a while as I've gone back to America for a month to take care of some business.  I'll be back in Pattaya in less than two weeks and I look forward to doing regular posts.

While here in America I spotted this Yamaha YZF-R6 in  parking lot.  What got my attention were the yellow rim accents.  This is the same as on my Yamaha Nouvo SX.   I like the style.  I wouldn't mind trying out this bike. Maybe one day....
