I was down in Pattaya for 3 days and I had a great time. The Pattaya girls are not for me I stayed to long in Thailand and they bore me to death. But I enjoyed the holiday anyway the nights clubs are open to 08.00 in the morning and there is no entrance fee.
There is so much different food in Pattaya and it nice some time to get real western food when you have been eating Thai food for a while. Still I would not recommend Pattaya to children families the beach is still not worth to dippy your toes in and staying outside Pattaya will be a better Choice.
