Tiny Walk Along the Beach

A short while back I was down in Pattaya to visit with some friends for Australia Day, even though I’m not Australian. Mostly it was just a day to pick when we’d all come down from wherever we’re living across Thailand, and meet up for an evening to drink beer and swap stories. It was a lot like what Burningman became to me over time, a single physical location, and a single point in time where I could meet up with geographically scattered friends.

Anyway, for part of one of the days, I took my 360 degree camera down to Beach Road in Pattaya. These photos were taken with a Samsung Gear 360 (2017) camera (about $100 USD) and edited with the free Gear 360 android application on my phone. I did not need to use any other computers or software to change the spherical images into flat ‘Tiny Planet’ photos. The only other addition is that I do use a remote bluetooth trigger to activate the shutter.

The Alcazar Show

Wednesday evening many of the staff and students were given complimentary tickets to see the Alcazar show. It was quite the entertaining evening.

Alcazar is one of two Ladyboy cabaret shows in Pattaya. I’ve never been to Tiffany’s, and this was my first time attending Alcazar. Free tickets made it an easy decision, and we all had a fun evening.

After the show, many of the dancers head out to the parking lot for some photo opportunities.
