Pattaya Things to Do Tips by gaolei

See the amazing Ladyboys. Walking Street Review

About half way down Walking street, there is a place where the Ladyboys congregate. Don't worry, they won't bite you, well, they will, but you have to pay.

When you see an incredibly good looking woman with a fantastic body, chances are you are seeing a Ladyboy. How can you tell for sure, besides the obvious ways? Look at the inner elbow. If their arm hangs straight down it will never be completely straight. A real woman can invert her elbow, a man can't.

For a few Baht, they will take a picture with you. A little something to show the kids.

Directions: Middle of Walking Street, Pattaya.

Visit the Computer Store

People always ask if there is a computer store in Pattaya that is like the Pantip plaza in Bangkok. Well, Yes there is. It is know locally as Tucom. It is about six floors of computers, cameras, phones, and, of course, pirate software, DVDs and MP3 disks.

Address: South Pattaya road

Directions: Ask the motorcycle taxi guy for Tukcom. It is near the Friendship supermarket. If you take a Baht bus from the corner of Second road and Pattaya Tai (south) road it is just a short distance down the street, maybe 5 blocks and 10 baht.

The Worlds Largest Jewlery Store

World Gem is an extremely large gem factory and store. Here you can get local gems such as blue saphires from southeast Thailand and Cambodia for reasonable prices. They also have a gem museum that is very interesting.

Address: 555 Mo 6 North Pattaya Road, Pattaya, Thailand

Directions: It is within 1 KM from the beach on North Pattaya road. Just ask your hotel and they can arrange to get you to the gem factory
