Pattaya Travel Guide
Since Pattaya's "discovery" in the early 1960s and its rapid transformation from an "unknown" sleepy fishing village to Thailand's most popular tourist destination, Pattaya has gone through some significant changes but always remained loyal to its "Funtown" image.
Less than a two-hours drive from the capital Bangkok and Suvarnabhumi Airport, Pattaya has become famous for its sunny tropical beaches, dozens of nearby tourist attractions, fantastic restaurants and shopping facilities but, most notably, its infamous nightlife and "sex industry" with thousands of bars and sexy girls, that initially laid the foundation for Pattaya's boom.
Pattaya city in the 21st century, however, together with Jomtien and Naklua, attracts millions of international tourists from all over the globe every year, and can no longer be reduced to its bustling nightlife, bars, nightclubs and massage parlours.
Pattaya today has something for everyone - single travellers, young and old, couples, families and pensioners alike. Therefore, no matter what you're looking for, you may be sure you'll find it in Pattaya.

Pattaya Nightlife Guide
Ok gentlemen, we all know you're coming to Pattaya only for the beautiful beaches, Buddhist temples and Thai food. Fair enough. (That's what I would tell my mom, too.) But if you've read Pattaya's history carefully or just stroll down Pattaya's (in)famous Walking Street, you simply can't ignore the "naughty" side of Pattaya. Pattaya is a true Disneyland for Adults, revellers of all age groups and sexes, but particularly single male mammels.
And if Thailand's amazing culture should be your major subject of interest, you may also have heard that prostitution (yep!), in spite of not being "strictly legal", has a lively and much longer tradition in Thailand than modern-day tourism?
