PATTAYA! Has a lot of Potential for the future as the day time walk down beach road is quiet nice with all the emerging coffee shops and restaurants that were there on my last trip and seem to be popping up more and more. Pattaya is a foodie mecca which can rival such places as Patong and even Bangkok with its variety of world dishes and available almost 24/7.
The homelessness seemed to me to be a lot less in 2024 than it did back in 2022 when I was there and I am hoping this only improves in the future. I look forward to watching and experiencing the evolution of this city as I have been going there for over a decade now.
