Glad to come to Pattaya this week with some decent and good weather. Due to having acute illness, I had to visit the Pattaya International Hospital on Soi 4 which is within a minute of walking from my hotel. I am impressed by the medical standards, including the attending doctor's professionalism, experience, and English communication. I can see this hospital caters for foreigners who would have different expectations. The decor in the reception lobby is also welcoming too!

I am visiting Pattaya since last Sunday. Only noted there was a flash rain in the wee hours of Sunday night while i was in bed, no flooding was obvious in the following morning. Yet the scene of sand loss on the Pattaya beach showed the flash rain was a downpour. Otherwise, sunny or partly sky throughout.

So far so good!

thanks all for input. Just confirmed my hotel booking and I am coming tomorrow for a week. I usually go to Dongtan Beach direction after getting off the pick up. Hopefully there are some partly sky or at least, no rains during the daytime.

Never want to dip into that water except to p. Been to that beach dozens of time and have seen people colliding with jelly....

Upfront declaration: I read the posts on hugh flooding in Pattaya and watch the respective youtube. I need to decide on my Pattaya hotel booking if I should visit Pattaya, mainly Jomtien beach, from this Sunday for a week. I have been in BKK for 2 weeks already so I know the raining siutation and I watch the weather forecast for BKK and Pattaya daily. I have not come to Thailand for almost 3 years and I just want some relax time on the beach for few days. Ok, it seems that NO sunny days for sure. But I also don't want to find an empty beach with no vendors putting up sun loungers, no fellow visitors/ beach residents, and mostly, raining everyday during daylight. Also, I wonder the old days rule prohibiting vendors to put up sun loungers every Wednesday remains in effect. Your input is appreciated.
