Why film on a Bicycle
Traditional video makers tend to walk, which unless great care is taken, produces a bounce in the video footage. I find filming on a motorbike can be too fast, not allowing you to take in the scenery. The bicycle allows me to interact with people whilst providing smooth footage. If you find it is still too fast, then you can slow the video speed down to half speed, which will still be 30 frames per second. Industry normal is 24/25 frames per second.
Why doesn’t the footage look clear
Sometimes I make an error when shooting the video (but very rarely) The most common cause is that your internet connection on YT has set the resolution to below 4K, so check your settings.
Camera Equipment
Since starting the channel I have used my trusty DJI Osmo Pocket 2 (Creator combo) I am now using the Pocket 3
The Combo comes with a Bluetooth microphone which has given great performance, even when riding at speed. I film at 4K & 60 frames per second, my light and ISO settings are on Auto. The Camera is strapped to my left wrist (so it might appear that I am close to things on the left). I control the Camera head via an application on my phone (Mimo), using my right hand Thumb.

Bike Hire in Pattaya
There are several who offer bicycle hire services. The two I tend to recommend are
https://www.facebook.com/cadencecyclepattaya
https://www.facebook.com/PattayaRentaBike7
Both of these offer regular Bicycles and Hybrid options.
My Bike
My E-Bike was purchased form an online seller in Bangkok, Iker Salas, who has provided me with Televisions for years.

I try and show the current exchange rates each Friday, however here is a link to the same company where you will always get todays rate.
Thanks David. I love this part of town, much more chilled than the city centre but still with everything you need on your doorstep. 11 months and counting until I retire and start looking for a nice place in Pratumnak to enjoy a life of leisure. 😀
Thank you again for great information in the Partumnak area ! Very helpful , please enjoy …
Great video David. So much great information. Love this area more and more as time goes by.
FX hotel top of Soi 4 around 1,000/ night with breakfast, very good value, decent small pool. Irish Wolfhound bar opposite I was in a few weeks back with friends having a few drinks and they ordered some Thai food from there as well. Went and got them some green mango and the lady said we had to pay a cover charge for eating that in there. They can ram any custom from me again.
Those new places on Soi 4 seem very popular. Went down the other evening and a really good vibe.
Old Rogues one of my goto places for Thai and western food. And shows all the Sport. Great place.
Catflaps well worth a visit. One of the best looking GCs around.
VN garden restaurant as you say , a hidden gem.
I enquired at the Sirin hotel/condo when I first came. Wanted around 40,000 a month!
👍👍👍
What happened to the Wolfhound to make it less popular?
What's the best condo for a 10-14k monthly range? I stayed in the View Talay 3 before, any better ones?
Cool and awesome,wow,epic.
Always a pleasant video.
Thank you sir.
Those sun glasses at the beginning nearly blinded me .
I fell out of my chair backwards !
FX Hotel stayed there on both mytrips.Cant fault the place,great value.Changed so much the Pratamnak area over the years.X
Thank you so much for this great video David. Pratumnak is very nice thank you for showing us 🙏.
Over the last two years…I decided to retire in Pattayya…but did not want to live in chaotic downtown Pattaya…had to decide between Pratumnak and Jomtien…finally decided on Jomtien for a few reasons: Heard many complaints about noisy and vicious Soi Dogs in Pratumnak. 2) Loved the Baht Bus…I ride a motorbike…but it is great to take a 10 or 20 baht bus ride to downtown Pattaya for a few drinks and a convenient way to get back home. 3) the Beach is better at Jomtien….Pratumnaks Cosy beach is a hike down steps and back again!. 4) Too many Russians in Pratumnak. 5) Lots of night life in Jomtien to match Pratumnak and Pattaya! 6) everything is walking distance or a quick cheap baht bus ride in Jomtien. LOVE Jomtien!
Sauna bar soi 6 very good 200 bahts Very good video walk all round that area beach bum bar good nice walk from 7 11 to jomitiem
Any chance you have a vacancy for rent in your building. I like the area and my Thai girlfriend and I are interested in a 1 year rental. We might look at buying,but that's not the first step. I've followed you from Canada for sometime and lived in the Ritz on soi 5 for awhile.
Nordic could not have been making that much money they went bust from what a heard
Hey David any units available in your complex? What’s the rent like, I’ll be there in April
Love Pratamnak, Irish Wolfhound is tops, Beef Stew & Cottage Pie are the best around, sound staff also.
Thanks David for another informative vlog and enjoyable. It makes it easier to make a decision to move to Pattaya.
i stayed in the small gated townhouses you can just about see on your left @19.50 for a few months. Was a nice place to live and had a regular taxi guy to get in to town. Best thing was the Russian gogo girls living across the road who would lie by the pool all day getting an all over tan!! I did a lot of swimming lol
Having to pass by "The Weedfather" shop everyday, ugh how they've overdone that kind of stuff over there, my sympathies to you and your residence complex.
Thanks for the tour Dave. I'm definitely interested in renting a condo or apartment. The area seems quite enough and I like riding a push bike as you call it. And it seems like it might have everything I need to live. I will have to check it out.
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍
David you should just do videos with your wife and your followers would quadruple
Outstanding View. Excellent all around
The Weedfather! Best name for a cannabis store must be Starbuds (in Pattaya) though- it even uses the same font and colour as Starbucks.
Very helpful and informative. Thanks for sharing
Great tour(s)! I never considered Pratumnak, but now it's a front-runner
I THOROUGHLY ENJOYED Part 1 & 2 Of These Pratumnack Tours!👍👍 They're INCREDIBLY HELPFUL & USEFUL For People Unfamiliar With The Area, Especially With The Narration, Tips, And Recent History. Maybe, At Some Point, You'll Cover Wongamat. THANK YOU, VERY MUCH!
Top notch video DS. Great HD images too. Not seen much of the area before. Used to stay at Citrus Parc Hotel pre covid but never ventured down Pratumnak, always went into town instead. Missed out. Got a month hol in a few months' time, will check it out and stay a few nights there.
I watched trv video on jomtiem ..is that the most upmarket place pratimyak?? Is the only hospital on patya ?
Saw you riding thru LK Metro a couple nights ago. Was gonna say hello but I was with a girl from the US. Love the videos.
Interesting to note that you called the orange buildings is there any reason to not say nng? I do quite like pratumnak but, does the higher level of Russians make it less desirable? I have often found them to be a bit rude, not queuing etc.😊
