4:17 Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 So I took more than 130 photos, give or take, of this year's parade. It's a rather modest affair, more of an excuse for the quote/unquote Irish bars in town to promote themselves, but then there is nothing wrong with that. Anyway, of those photos I took, about 62 were worth editing; here's a select few for those of you who couldn't be in scenic downtown Pattaya on March 17 -- more or less in order in which I shot them. I've posted a few of these in other threads, by the way, in case a few looked familiar. Keep calm and carry on, you Sunnee enthusiasts: What would a celebration of Irish culture be without Brazillian dancers in their own traditional finery? Spied these ladies across the street watching the parade. I have some lesbian friends back home that would cream their jeans over these two: Give him a long white Gandalf-esque beard, and St. Patrick would look the part (minus the shades, of course): Someone had a bit too much craic/sanook last night ... So a little hair of the dog will solve what ails ales ye. Hello titties ladies. Here's an asshole a gentleman doing his best to improve the image of foreigners in Thailand: My favorite dinner: Mixed Grille, 555: The parade king and queen look suspiciously non-Gaelic (i.e., not pasty white and fleshy). Maybe that explains the king's death rictus smile ... 4 Quote Link to comment

4:17 Posted March 18, 2013 Author Share Posted March 18, 2013 Thanks for the kind words, gents. Willie, looks like you were at the other end of Beach Road from me. ... I didn't think there was going to be a parade; it was supposed to start at 2, but after when I still didn't see anything on the south end of Beach Road but the usual traffic, I was making my way back to 13/1 when the first parade vehicles finally made their appearance. Figures a Thai parade would run on Thai time, eh? Might have to track down this O'Gara's Bar sometime, looks to be some cuties working there. ... Quote Link to comment

Jimslim Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Some great pictures there 4.17 . You captured perfectly the bizarre nature of St Paddy's day in Pattaya they certainly know how to have a laugh . I loved the picture of the two guys in the van looking very hungover "Under the weather " as we say back home . Quote Link to comment
