"Pattaya Pattaya!" a Pattaya Travel Page by YaaDong

Pattaya is located 147 km from Bangkok .Only about two hours by car or air-con bus so it is a perfect quick escape from hectic Bangkok to get some sun ,sea ,and add some spice to life.
I have visited Pattaya many times.My first trip to this place was when I was seven.That was the first time I saw the sea and I didn't see too many buildings just wooden houses ,trees and lots of jelly fish on the beach.
Now Pattaya city has become one of the more Western places in Thailand and many tourist both Western and Thai flock here for abit of R & R .It has something for everyone but it doesn't have a great reputation because of all the bars and open prostitution.Quoting my sister's words "it's disgusting".However many people both singles ,families as well as me still flock here.
During the day it is sleepy and uncrowed because Pattaya is a city of night and most people are still recovering from the night before.There are endless bars ,clubs ,hotels,restaurant and shopping plazas.Some people may find the ' entertainment' especially the South Pattaya area a little too much because of all the in your face beer bars and open invitations.However, these places can be easily avoided if you want to.If you don't want to then just party on...
