As I've mentioned before I love few things more than riding a motorbike around the countryside in and around Pattaya. There are about 4/5 routes I follow with deviations as and when the mood takes me. A little like a walk around London, it's rare that I don't come across something new and interesting. There are often races at the track near Siam Country Club and always free to watch. Half an hour watching go-cars or bikes screaming round on the tarmac followed by a lovely lunch at SCC makes for a wonderful morning. Head south and there are some lovely tucked away wats. One is up a steep incline and offers beautiful views towards some mountains. The monks there give me but a passing glance as they go about their business. They're also building a huge white one in the middle of a field, perhaps looking to compete with The Sanctuary of Truth. I often come across places such as a small cafe for a coffee or a pretty lake or a small village and then a few days later when I try to find it again, I can't. A motorbike will cost 200 baht a day for the new Honda Click and it's orgasmically fun to ride being fast and chuckable. Do it.
