Whatever people say...... Review on Pattaya

Let's me start with the good things first. Pattaya is the paradise for the expats who have a pension from the first world countries. The money they spend one day in London can be used here for  half a month. The real estate companies are increasingly growing. Some of them is part of money laundry business.

Pattaya is the very close to New bangkok Airport. The Taxi service from the airport would cost around 800-900 Bhat. If you take a bus, you can go to Eastern Bus Terminal next to Ekkamai BTS station.it would cost you 117 baht per way.

By the way, you can not book the bus ticket in advance. To go around the city, there is a baht bus that charge you only 10 baht per way.

The nearest Airport to Pattaya is U-tapao Airport, which is formerly used by US airforce. Bangkok airways fly U-tapao-samui and U-tapao-Phuket.

Pattaya offers wide range of accommodation and restaurant of all nationalities. there are also a tiffany and Alcazar show performed by ladyboys who have undergone sex change operation. Let's say Pattaya is an entertaining city.

However, Pattaya has always been a sex tour hub of my country. In sunee plaza, you would see a 8-9 years old boys walking around to find a customer. In Thai newspaper, it is reported that one boy will have to give a service to 24 whitemen a day without protection.

I couldn;t recommend you guys as a family to visit this city as there are too many bar scenes in town. Even decent Thai person will not feel comfortable walking in the city. For Asian tourists from Chinese, the white women from Russian and Eastern European countries are also provided.

The local police are deaf and blind on sex tour matter, they just catch the motocycle riders who do not have the helmet.Most sex workers came from small villages around the country. It is reported that many ladies from in the northeastern region think that having a farang husband ( In Thai, Farang means White people) would pave the successful ways for them. The sex industry is also one reason that many Thais who do not come from respected family will likely to be rejected for a Visa to first world countries.

If Thai lady just take a walk along the beach, the white man might ask them right away " How Much?"

If you are Gay Men and expect to have fun, you can go to Dongtan beach ( next to Jomtien beach), but anywhere the moneyboys will be around. What I am trying to say is Pattaya is the place for Hopeless old Men. The male sex workers mostly are not Gay but they provide services.

Some clever boys charge farang with monthly rate. By the way, Farang always have additional boys as long as they pay enough money for other boys they live with.

If you want to have real fun, it is better to go to Pa Ngang Island next to Samui Island where full moon party held monthly.

In trader, a local magazine of Pattaya, there are many warning to the new coming to keep their money in their pocket as the barboys and bargirls have so many tricks to deceive innocent looking farang.

That's too bad that the behavior of certain people have become the image of the country.
