Day 2 My next spot was Pattaya 2 hours south east of Bangkok. Pattaya was a R&R stop off from the Vietnam War back in the 60’s.

So I got off the bus and headed to catch a baht bus which then took me to Jomtien Beach 5 minutes out of Pattaya. Jomtien Beach is where I studied to become a Scuba Diving Instructor. I went to the dive shop and met up with former students and friends. [View Full Entry]
