GoGo - Mobile spies have arrived in Pattaya & Jomtien - what will the Katoeys and Hookers think

Spotted a Google Street View Vehicle going up and down the soys in Jomtien today.
The Tourism Body hailed the arrival of these vehicles to Thailand as a great innovation and a possible boost to Thailand Tourism. I wonder what the Katoeys and Hookers think? Will they run after it to bash it with their high heels? Will they think it is some alien? Who knows, anyway, now everyone can see your house, and if you were giving your partner a bit of a workout near an open window Google may even have a few pics of that. :)

What is street view?
" Street View in Google Maps lets you explore places through 360-degree street-level imagery, whether you’re looking at locations in your town or across the globe. With Street View, you can check out a restaurant before going there, find beautiful places around the world to visit on your next vacation, or check out neighborhoods when you’re looking to move. For Thailand, they are hoping that the street view pictures of tourist attractions will help boost tourism... The Google cars have 15 lenses taking 360 degrees of photos. It also has motion sensors to track its position, a hard drive to store data, a small computer running the system, and lasers to capture 3D data to determine distances within the Street View imagery. It normally takes at least a few months to process the collected images before they appear online. It is estimated that it could even take two to three years to have a comprehensive map of Thailand with street view coverage. More information and samples of street view can be found at google.co.th/streetview."

Sadly I was too slow with the camera, by the time I had it out of my pocket The Google-Mobile (or is it a GoGo Mobile in more sense than one) :) had already reached the end of the street and was ready to immortilize a few thousend more Stores, Bars, Ladyboys, Beach Hookers and I suppose me fishing out my camera. So much for being unknown . . .

But really cool, now I can look at every street in detail before having to go there. I may even see a couple of ladies I know and they can inspect some of the bars before applying for a job there.

NEW face for Pattaya Beach today - good weather and sexy girls

Haven't been writing anything lately as most of us were confined to our rooms during the recent rains. Not that the rains were that bad but one does get soaked and its just no fun hanging out on the beach when one is dripping wet. So went out today and thought how nice beach road is after the recent rains - the footpath is clean, it doesn't stink of pee everywhere, the weather is great, a gentle breeze was blowing and pretty girls were out hunting. The trees have 'sort of'' recovered from the butchering by the city council and even the people on the beach seemed more relaxed and were almost smiling ( I said almost).
At times like these I realise that this is a little corner of paradise. Here in Pattaya we have no freezing temperatures like in most places, I can get a cup of iced coffee or tea for 50 cents, an ice cream for 30 cents, eat a meal for a dollar, have a pretty girl walk with me for 15 and get pissed for 3 dollars.
Truly, today all bad thoughts left me and I really enjoyed the walk on the beach. Passing by the Jetski scammers, it looked as if even they were having the day off. Walking home I heard the relaxing chitter chatter of the guys near Walking Street whispering Ganja, Marijuanaaa, Ice ... and rubbing their noses as if they had a fly crawl up there. I suppose it is allergy season and although it was on the warm side today I didn't really feel like any ice cream so I just declined. Actually, I have always wondered where they keep the ice as I have never seen them walk around with the little cooler boxes like the guys on the beach itself. Oh well, all in all a perfect day on the beach; so much so that I felt almost serene when I came home.
Now, I am not a pessimist by nature, but my feeling tells me this is just too good to be true, so lets see what happens tonight. Today, the day was 5 Star on the beach though.  Soon more at PattayaBeachBum.com
Oh, also noticed that the apartments I was trying to sell on beach road must have been sold. Oh well, can't win them all, may be they got flooded or washed out to sea.
