Located 150 kilometers southeast of Bangkok,
Pattaya has long been regarded as the naughty
little sister of the Thai capital. The massage parlours, go-go bars and discos
have been the big attraction since the 1960’s, when US soldiers on leave from
Vietnam would come here to let off steam. Take a walk down Walking
Street in the evening and it’s clear that the nightlife culture
remains the big selling point for Pattaya.
