I lived in north Phuket for about 12 years, but also worked in Pattaya for 1 year. I now live in Myanmar but spend my annual long holiday each April in Pattaya, because there are positives to the city: - Compared to Myanmar cities, Pattaya has a great choice of restaurants, food outlets, shopping centres, clothes outlets etc, all accessible by either walking or taking the cheap baht bus. - The city has a good choice of private doctors and hospitals - I have my annual health check in Pattaya - The beachfront promenade is excellent for early morning jogging (around 6am before it gets hot). - I've never had any security concerns. (But then I don't get drunk, don't walk on the beach at 2am and don't act like a <deleted>). Some things I've noticed to comment on: - the typical western man living in Pattaya looks to be in his 80's or 90's, smoking, fat, unhealthy. (That is simply my observation, not a criticism). - the town is full of 'low-life' tourists (wife-beater Westerners, Arabs, Indian, Chinese). Sorry, I say it how I see it. Negatives for me: - the local gyms are the worst I've encountered. Badly-maintained equipment, expensive, bad choice of equipment. I don't come to Pattaya for the bars or bar-girls. I do usually stay on Soi Metro or Soi 6, and find the bar-girls and ladyboys to be very friendly, not pushy - never had a problem with them. Compared to other destinations in Thailand, Pattaya is fine for a few weeks. I do move out before Songkran though! May we all live to be in the 90s smoking, unhealthy and fat.

ToddinChonburi Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 Funny how most missed he was giving a review about his experience as a tourist and tourist area's. I think most of us could agree about the area he spent time in. How many ops have been written about the mess of beach road along with the quality of ocean that the entire Gulf has become. Does anyone here swim in the water off Jomtein beach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jomtien is crap and basically mums and dads and elderly gays with their Toy boys.. Walking street in Pattaya is busy with people enjoying the joy of life. Some people arrive after midnight. Earlier in the evening it's a family outing. Restaurants, bars, street performers, ice cream parlours, coffee shops, people watching, Indian clubs, night clubs, discos, street food, happy hour bargains Issan food, Thai food, international food etc. It's a big international tourist attraction but many ex pats who live here visit it. They tend to be the happier ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a fun place and only ten minutes to the country side. Nearby temples, golf courses clubs, international restaurants and cosmopolitan night life that puts bangok to shame. Take a girl every night not just once a year... If she likes you. Eat drink and be merry. Are you a feminist or right wing evangelical who has joined this forum under false pretenses?
