Pattaya

Pattaya may not boast one of the most magnificent beaches in Thailand, but if you\'re looking for a beach side vacation that never sleeps, than Pattaya is the place to be. Once a R&R location for US Army GI\'s, the beachside resort town has developed into a treasure trove of sophisticated international resorts and upscale restaurants. Budget travelers need not worry as small hotels are also scattered around Pattaya. Trying to shed its once shady image, Pattaya is trying to recreate its image to become a family destination, expat retirement magnet, as well as a MICE destination.
