The things you find, when you are out mooching on Soi Buakhao, Pattaya, Thailand at 7am.

[@Aziz.Alaali]

I was lucky enough to have met Geoff in person, completely by chance while I was in Bangkok Soi 4 Nana at the Stumble Inn bar last week. I wondered into Soi 4 in the afternoon hoping to people watch, and instead I had the best afternoon drinking in a long while, and watching people gather around Geoff while he tells fascinating stories and cracks jokes took me back to my Uni days in the UK. Geoff, it was absolute pleasure meeting you, and I hope to meet you again soon in the future... All the best, and my goal is to read the Alchemist this week. For everyone else... if you ever in in doubt about what the future will bring... i strongly suggest you spend an afternoon with Geoff.

[@Aziz.Alaali]

​@Simon Curtis , I will admit.. i enjoy people watching especially in Soi 4 Nana, as people drop their "Masks" and you get to see "real & raw" life going past you, especially when you are sipping on golden liquid.

[@ianbowden4587]

Aziz. Thailand has soooooo much to offer however from MY experience, people watching is a very enjoyable and relaxing part of the experience of Thailand. It is sooo multicultural in the tourist scene that watching people go about their ways can be an enlightening experience.....even quite fascinating. An education perhaps in itself to see how so many different types of people react in similar scenarios to each other. 🙏🏼👍🏼

[@stecomer4303]

He.needs to stop drinking he's got an alcoholic complexion

[@gshock123ist]

ALRIGHT GEOFF! Cool video. It's good to hear someone say some positive things about Thailand. Like you said even though it's getting a little bit more expensive there are plenty of cheap alternatives and lots of things that cost nothing. Chon Gow krup.

[@ToonSteve187]

Great video, very entertaining 11.52 “That’s May. . . -is it though?”

[@MightySteve001]

I had many cold beers sitting on the corner of that mad junction watching the crazy traffic. I loved it. I'm going back later in the year.

[@The3009lg]

My favourite Moocher! Thanks for your efforts Geoff.

[@damiendolomite6492]

what is a moocher? is it a monger?

[@stevenhawkins4594]

Great video Geoff thanks and nice you visited the 'Hideaway' bar

[@carymills]

Glad you're back in Pattaya Geoff. Missed your vids and I miss Pattaya every day. Your vlogs keep me going until the next time I can get away. Keep them coming mate and don't forget to enjoy your holiday.

[@roberthornbrook8374]

Glade to see your old vlogs we just had ribs me and my daughters in london I cooked egg fried rice and prawns 🍤 I remember you love cooking Geoff I cook a lovely phadthai I do love terminal 21 the food court is lovely 😊

[@geoffcarter]

Keep going Robert mate 🇹🇭🇹🇭👍👍👍👍😋😋😋😋😋

[@Jackpot12]

As long as The TAKEAWAY restaurant is still open and serving my chicken and cashew nuts when I come in Feb I'll be happy mate! Great vlog Geoff!

[@keithy507]

That was a nice walk around, showing us the place early in the morning when you can see a lot more. Later on in the day I’m more “people watching” so this way, I can actually look at the shops etc 😁

[@routmaster38]

That aquarium on soi 15 was stunning but most times when passing the "Hideaway" bar its empty and at 80bht for a beer its why.

[@samuelhutchison8433]

Not just the prices haven't changed in a year they haven't changed in ten year.Its the exchange rate that has dramaticly changed. Anyway as Geoff said its still cheap cheers nice vlog..

[@SwedishGlobetrotter]

Im curious how the prices is going to be when they reopen the Kingdom again.

[@Joe-id8bd]

I really enjoy the walks around town. I'm eagerly awaiting my first trip to pattaya and I think the videos have taught me alot. I think I can make my way around town with no problems.

[@geoffcarter]

You’ll be fine Joe 👍👍👍🇹🇭

[@wbev_thai1666]

That AT ALL bar is great geoff if you want a quiet drink, not expensive and no hassle with bar girls, and if you like football, they have 3 different screens showing different live matches at same time , good vlog mate

[@peckatron75]

Was in pattaya in November and going back in February, Pattaya is still great for prices on beer and food, 60/70 baht for Chang and 60/90 baht for dinner, keep smiling Geoff 😁

[@pastadrmartinssempa6295]

What's with girls? Nobody go there for only food... I think the prices for a lt are the same as every year or maybe now more. It means when I would have a st maybe for 2000, that's over 50 euros... More expensive than in euro countries

[@fredruhoff8576]

Geoff, I was there in early November and you make me want to return. At 14:15 that intersection really is crazy most of the day. Just to the right is Nikom Court (under the Areca sign). Get food from several nearby vendors and a cheap beer from the cooler in Nikom, and chat someone up or watch the nearby street mayhem. Almost directly across on the left is Cheap Charlie's with assorted breakfast, lunch, and dinner choices with beer, wine, coffee, tea, sodas, milkshakes, etc. I stayed just around the next corner to the right at Br Guesthouse...under $20 and safe, clean, quiet... and air con., wifi, and shower in room work well. Thanks for taking me back!

[@chuckrennert5783]

Most any 4 or 5 star hotel in Pattaya is going to have a nice expensive breakfast buffet. If you want to pay top dollar, go to a different 5 star hotel every morning!

[@fredbonett8262]

Man.... You should be an official Spokesman. I really mean it. Keep it up. Fantastic and informative.

[@dc0775]

Excellent review, £1.50 beer, £3 meal, £14 guest house at least double back in England, still great value

[@irishtony5662]

Keep it rollin Geoff old son, your a star! Luv ur channel, I stay in Buakhao area every yearly holiday so good to see how it is before I arrive

[@ianbowden4587]

Hi Geoff. Wtf are u mooching around pattaya at 7am AFTER sleeping.?????????🤣🤣🤣. Soooo glad you didn’t tell the lady that YOU are the Geoff carter after filming your KZbin sign at that bar.....Humbleness is the key. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@1972pd]

I'm off to the Philippines next week Geoff . The philipino s seem much friendlier on your vids . They keep smiling 😁

[@jackb5708]

Well Philippines is cheaper, it's friendlier, and they welcome tourists and ex pats. There's no comparison - okay Pattaya has the gogo bars but what a scam they are. I'm off to Philippines.

[@nes1614]

Thanks so much Mr. Carter . Happy new year long live and happy live and always will capture nice good video for us

[@binglim1]

It is the exchange rates, Geoff. Thai baht's gone up 25% over the years.

[@scotty101ire]

man in the 90,s it was 60 now 31 so that,s a wee bit more than 25%

[@antdaley1]

Great video Geoff. i hope your ok? I've watched this video so many times. love soi baukhao. Miss Thailand. I stated at the Katesirie hotel 6 years ago. Great place. I'm hoping to get back this November covid restrictions pending. stay well Geoff and look forward to your next video. 😊

[@royevans4581]

nice video mate, awesome to see a fella enjoying his life and being the man he wants to be.

[@intsccents]

Geoff you are right on the money to say do not worry about the exchange ! your money really goes far in Thailand due to such strong competition .. L.A Rob great info and vlog like always....

[@RichardIIfan]

I love Soi Buakao. Lovely to see it again.

[@iainrose4869]

[@johnwilson1218]

Good to see you promoting Soi Buakhao Geoff, the road & the area has it all from great reasonably priced accommodation, easy to get a good breakfast-lunch etc + great bars & entertainment, all the best Geoff keep it up pal

Never seen Soi Buakhao at 7 in the morning, very few Farangs around. I'm always mesmerized by that fantastic aquarium whenever I walk past & been in the restaurant several times. Hope the party goes well tomorrow Geoff, enjoyed last years but can't make this one.

I definitely need to go, I know things are a bit difficult at the moment with covid, but I'm checking flights already. Great video as always Geoff 👍👍👍👍👍

[@RichardIIfan]

The Thai Baht rate is what makes it more expensive. However

[@bazzatheblue]

Last Christmas Geoff gave them his Baht but the very next day they put up the rate.

[@davothefirst9371]

" The very next day they gave it away " 😂😂😂

[@routmaster38]

I arrive 2nd March and hope post Brexit its jumped back to 45 or more.!

[@marksanderson8827]

May had a deeper voice than you Sir Geoff. Quality video. You're right about the Philippines. it's not that cheap. Nowhere is if you stick to the tourist bars. Go small. Best way anywhere on the planet.

[@kams_4760]

[@spyman3538]

Hi Geoff. Pattaya looks nice at 7am. Good to see you enjoying your holidays. Keep smiling

[@marcey38]

Not quite agree that you say the prices are the same as last December . Looking at the exchange rate only its already 15% more expensive and more bars are putting the prices up apart from bars which have promotions

[@ru4031]

Great information like always Geoff, keep going!

[@anthonybennett3434]

Always a good video Geoff keep em coming mate.

[@justso1823]

I can honestly say I've spent the same amount of money as I did 5 years ago. Bars are definitely helping the customer's out with cost. Retox is still on soi 10

You always find some gems Geoff.Nice video fella

[@peterlamb2703]

very good information bro, get in there.....

[@chrisclubbe7337]

The price of beer etc in thai bht s the Same, just the exchange rate what makes it little more expensive..You can either afford to go on holiday there or you cant.. You can pay as much or as little as you want

[@chrisclubbe7337]

It's the lady drinks what make it expensive..

[@naderahmedabdulla1097]

[@fazbell]

Geoff always has a good video for us. Thanks.

[@ltd1980]

My first trip was 2006. We got around 73 baht to the £. On soi 7 I was paying 100/200 baht bar fine and 500 short time, 1000 long time. Great times. I agree with the majority of the comments. Prices haven't changed much, just the exchange rate. Obviously girls are charging more but that coincided with mobile phones becoming more accessible and girls being able to see what's going on around the world

The exhange rates the same like last year. Soi Buakhao is a good street, you can find everything. I stayed on soi lengkee a few times, i think that is a good option if you are in Pattaya.

Great vlog Geoff, we have put off returning because of the stories, Thailand is our favourite place to party, keep smiling

[@thetraveller334]

I have to agree Geoff Walking Street is passed it. I’ve been four times to Pattaya. I spent most of my time in Walking Street on the first trip, but the last two, I didn’t even venture past Second Street. Soi LK Metro and Soi Diana are great.

[@davidhawley4554]

I spent February there last year. Spent most of the time in Scooters bar. There and Lk metro. Enjoyed it that much I will be back in February.

[@leegilmour8090]

i watched your vlogs on the philippines the food and drink looked cheaper and when you went out to the island it was cleaner with more couples and familys, it looks like there cleaning the place up people will go for those reasons

Indeed it is not the price of things, tough i have seen a bit of a raise, but it is more the strong baht.

I'm up in Chiang Mai for the winter and Geoff is right, you just need to know what your doing and search for the best value. I've been going out and getting full as an onion on 75 baht big bottles of Leo and spending £12 all night. If you want company and entertainment then it's going cost more. Just get out there and explore, hit the thai bars you won't regret it.

Thank You for the detailed tour Geoff.

[@itruck1]

Just for comparison a bottle of domestic beer here in rural (small town) America at the local tavern in about $2.75 USD . In my opinion if you are giving less than that in Thailand and have hundreds of pretty girls running around as a bonus, "Keep Smiling". Keep up the good work Geoff. :)

[@SwedishGlobetrotter]

He is back, Thailand myland ❤😁

[@youngandfree93]

It should be mentioned that the cheaper drinks are always Chang. Sometimes Leo and Singha too but mostly Chang only. Every other beer imported is very pricy and often more expensive than western countries. I personally got so tired of Chang beer. As for the food I agree if you look super careful you can find some good bargains although Thai portion sizes are very small so if you're a big eater be prepared to have more than 3 small meals a day. The exchange rate is so so bad.

[@davidmanley9002]

Geoff was in Pattaya at the end of November and the prices didnt seem much more than back in March. The killer was the awfull exchange rate. Not letting that put me off as I will be back in March. Keep up the good work and enjoy the Party at Pandora's.

Went for a stroll through Soi Buakhao today around 1pm, seemed to be full all around, hardly a good seat (for people watching) at any restaurant or bar, is this normal now or was today special? Was surprised because it was so quiet the last time I looked.
