Fun but oh so sleazy.......
by mattdavies1971
Wish I'd done a little bit more research before we'd gone. Don't get me wrong we had a fun time but the whole town just drips with sleaze.
The beach is too poluted to swim in even coral island accross the bay is a let down and what really makes your stomach turn after a day or so is the sheers amount of older european/australian guys walking around with the local girls -no wonder Mr Glitter loved the place so much.
So if you are visiting make sure you go then you stay in a decent hotel so you can avoid the conversations of middle aged men comparing their viagra fuelled "fun"

1100 Baht - Airport to Pattaya with no Hassle
by gaolei
Pattaya Taxi service is the easiest, cheapest car to Pattaya that I have found. It is easy to arrange, just send an email from their web page giving your name, arrival time and flight number. They take care of the rest.
On the last trip, I used their service. I sent the required email and got a reply the next morning. When I arrived at 11:00 PM, someone was waiting, holding a sign with my name on it at exit 3 in the arrival area at Bangkok airport. He helped with my bags, and I followed him to the parking garage. His car was new, clean and comfortable. It took 1 hour and 15 minutes to get to my hotel at the south end of Pattaya.
The best part was no hassle! He picked me up and took me the fastest way to Pattaya. There was no asking for more money, no fight over the route, no "you pay toll", no problems at all. He also offered to stop for food or rest room. The price was 1100 baht and not a baht more. I gave the driver a tip, but I was not asked for one.

by con80
WOW!! what a show !!! we would definately recommend you go to this spectacular show !!! it's just brilliant. each performer is a man and looking at them you would never guess, as well as the show being performed by only men, each performance is great, it's mainly dancing but in different ways. And the out fits are amazing. it's not expensive either !!!
your holiday to pattaya will not be complete without a trip to the alcazar show !!!!
