I went in 95 for the first time. I was only 17 and overseas alone. The place completely changed everything I ever thought I knew about the world. In terms of comparisons, it was just incomparable. The vibe, the pace, the attitude of locals etc was paradise on earth. There were no cell phones and barely any internet then and I really think that's a big part of it.

I went to Pattaya in 96 with my brother for the first time! The good old days are gone but it's still the best nightlife all over the world and I am still coming to Pattaya every year!

[Buggsy]

Hell of a lot of work has gone into this so well done and thanks for sharing.
As a visitor first time 1990 (and my life was never the same again afterwards!) I really enjoyed this.

[alanperreault]

I was in Pattaya for 2 weeks in 1983. It had much more of a small village feel back then. Best vacation I ever had!

[glenn]

great video....my first visit was in 1983, the town was much fun and the change is unbelievable. Beach St bars down towards what would become Walking Street were very basic but just the place a young bloke should experience in his life. Cheers for posting this

[danziboy]

Outstanding video. I've been coming to Pattaya and Jomtien from 1992. What a lovely way to capture 'Then' and 'Now'. Cheers!

Hi Phil
Yeah, remember 1994 in Pattaya well. I have quite a lot of footage of Pattaya and other area's of Thailand from 1989 onwards, shot on my old Panasonic camcorder, with remarkably good quality too, but everyone will have to wait until my own YouTube channel is up and running to see it, lol. Yeah, people keep talking about how much has shut down now, since the pandemic started, but there is still more open now than there was in 1989, lol.

[CL_Easterling]

Very cool seeing the huge difference of just 30 years

[andysowntravels]

Another great video and like you say big up to Balloon Chaser he done a great job. And of course the commentator done well keeping up with the action and spotting all the sites. Deffo a few million tons of concrete gone into Pattaya over the years.

[weekdaycycling]

Great Job! Thanks for modern-day's image stabilization.

[alvinkoh]

Amazing! Time flies! The first time I was there was back in 1995, and I visited it almost every year once or twice ever since. Due to my frequent visit, it is like seeing yourself in the mirror every day, you can hardly see yourself changing. But when you put two videos together, you realized you have aged as much as the city has changed and grown! Let's embrace changes together with one's mortality.

[robertgroves]

Was first there in 1979 and it certainly has changed so much.

[EarthCamper]

I was hoping someone will do comparison video .. you did it. Amazing 👍👍👍👍

[gareth]

Great Video, good luck finding the guys who made it, The one in front is probably dead now by the way that he was driving

[ziderzime]

Amazing . November 1994 was my first trip. Even though i have been many many times since, didn't realize how much it has changed since.

[suchasin]

Incredibly done...what a work was put into this to make it align!

[jasenwright]

Had some fun there in '82. A little sweetheart from Rainbow Bar (Bangkok Sukhomvit before it moved to the 'proposed Nana Plaza') took very good care of me! Yes!

[TheSkullfinder]

First went to Pattaya in 1991 so this video brings back great Memories . Cheers mate .

[wanchaicowboy]

I have seen that video before, but without your commentary I didn't know many of the roads and missed some of the points of interest. The original was filmed about the time I was first there.

[SoybooCow]

Brilliant video, Phil. I love these then & now comparisons, and the side-by-side edit is incredible work.
I understand 30 years ago, there wasn't much inland beyond 2nd Road? Soi Buakhao wouldve been a dirt track, possibly?
I'm a newbie, first visit to Pattaya in 2011. If any photos/video exists, I'd love to see what Soi Buakhao looked like back in the day. And maybe Batman nightclub, when it was open??? Get digging, Phil! 😃
