Pattaya is a nice city that has a lot more to offer than the famous nightlife, as you could just come here for shopping, the beach, excursions, golf, a relaxed stay at the swimming pool of your hotel, or whatever.
And yes, there are still girls who miss a little bit clothing, screaming at every man: "Hello, handsome man!", "Come inside, please" or simply ask if you want boom boom.
But the rough side of Pattaya has disappeared. If you are a preacher, I still wouldn't recommend it, but if you're coming as a couple, even with children, you could well have a drink at any bar.
And if you're a man coming alone, well,... it could be something like Disneyland for adults.
Don't expect any rough stories or pictures here.
Today there is one thing everybody is talking about, as strict smoking bans are enforced in all bars.
You could see the no-smoking signs already, with the 2000 baht as fine. Bar owners will have to pay 20000 baht.
Well, let's see how it works out. Maybe some bars will be able to find some ways to avoid the smoking ban...
And to all smokers, enjoy your last puff!
