Pattaya Travel guide

June 28, 2009 · Leave a Comment

Pattaya is a popular resort on the North Gulf Coast of Eastern Thailand, 150 km south-east of Bangkok. Pattaya is most famous for its go-go and beer bars, but besides the men and women on offer the place has made efforts to provide more family-friendly attractions and activities. Although the sex industry is still going strong in Pattaya, it also attracts local families and holidaymakers from far and wide. Efforts by the local authorities over the past few years have improved the quality of the beaches, but they are still lackluster by Thailand’s high standards, and over-development has long since destroyed some of the natural charms it once had. However, the plethora of hotels and guest houses and easy access from the capital and airport make it a popular weekend getaway. Catering for over 5 million tourists yearly, Pattaya is also able to offer an excellent range of eating choices and a wide variety of things to do and see, and its population is a colorful potpourri of mixed nationalities from near and far.
