I was a little surprised to hear the comment that Pattaya was over-priced. I found the opposite.
I went to Pattaya 2 years ago, not really expecting a lot except a relaxing holiday by the sea. I'd heard about bar girls, etc, but wasn't prepared for what I found.
It is like an adult Disneyland. I was there 10 minutes, just went out for a walk and was being propositioned by young attractive girls every 10 metres or so.
I was lucky, I found a bar where I was invited to parties and the owner taught me the "rules". Once I knew what to do, and what not to do, I had a great time. The girls in the bar were really friendly with each other and non-competitive, so I was "shared around" for want of a better term.
I won't go into a lot of detail, but I honestly think every red blooded male deserves to treat themselves to 3 weeks in Pattaya. I honestly couldn't believe it.
I went in the off-peak season, around May, and stayed in a lovely hotel for $50 per night!! A room like that would cost $250 in Australia.
If you're a single guy and looking for the time of your life, Pattaya is for you.
