RE: Weekend in Pattaya, Thailand Food porn continues.
I spent one day in Pattaya and while it was exciting, i also found it to be a place where you are hassled around every turn. I also didn't rate the beach very much. I don't know if it is still like this but i did like the covered areas on the beach where you could rent an umbrella and the staff would keep the hawkers at bay. They wouldn't even let them approach you unless you beckoned them.
Oh I didn't get hassled at all. It was relatively quiet when I was there. The Thai industry are worried about the drop in arrivals throughout the country. I stayed away from the main beach strip in Pattaya. Prefering to use one of the islands beaches.
ah yes, the drop in tourism has been massive. Up here in Ayutthaya we don't really notice it since 90% of our tourists are other Thais coming for the old capitol heritage and history.
I hope you post about the island you visit... Koh Chang?
