We Started The Day With Breakfast,

when I say we,


 I should have said Steve and myself, the girls had gone to the driving test centre to renew Kai's Thai driving licence, whilst Steve and myself dined at Tara Court,

 our next port of call was to see that extremely nice chap David Gray at East Coast Real Estate, we have all known each other for so many years, we chatted the morning away, but before we left we travelled to the top of the building his office is in, some 32 floors up,

 to admire the view,
 you may remember form previous posts I have a fear of heights,

 well this confirmed it in no uncertain terms,

 but it offered great views over Pattaya,

 did I mention the lift was glass fronted? scary dairy in the extreme,

 after picking the girls up we decided to stop off at the Lukdod shop, 

 it is a tourists emporium,

 even if you do not want to buy anything it is well worth a look as it has just about everything you can imagine for sale, also this is where both Steve and myself buy our reading classes,

 arriving home it was then time for our evening meal, Steve and Kai bought the coconut flying ant for us whilst they were in Kai's home town,

 we had a walk along Walking Street, there were so many changes in the names of the go-gos and bars,

 but this one has been here since 1986 and was where we were heading, not a bar but the Lobster Pot restaurant,

 Steve and Kai strike the pose,

 we walked past the lighted branches in the entrance to the restaurant,

 it was picture time as we sat at the table,

 and for the first time I have seen it on sale Pattaya beer was available, I tried it some months ago, although not a beer drinker it was pleasant enough, but as I mentioned when we put a picture of the bottle on the blog before it seems that the dolphin looks rather unhappy/angry,

 the first of the starters arrived,

 along with Diana's coconut cocktail,


 followed by more starters,


 and some tom yung goong soup, 

 Steve and Kai decided on a variety of main courses, whilst we we went with the seafood platter for two.

 then it was time to tuck in,

 again a wonderful meal looking over the bay, next time for a picture or two,

 as we decided where to go next,

 I just love all of the neon signs,

 the good news is there are so many to take pictures of,

 with a wide variety of subjects,

 and places around the world to visit, hopefully as a visitor not as a guest!

 another of the many seafood restaurants on the street,

 the signs go on,

 and on, we went into a couple of go-gos, well all of that walking was tiring work, so a few vodka sodas later it was time for home,

we made our way past the Diamond Beach Hotel where Steve and myself stayed so many years ago, then feet up, a night cap and we were all off to bed.
