Pattaya - Thailand

Thailand!!! So happy to be there! After beeing so cold in Tibet we are really happy to come back to the beach with hot temperature!
So Pattaya..one of the closest beaches to Bangkok, just over an hours drive (£10) in a taxi. This beach side resort town is 24H on the go, cheap and a greatmoral booster. We have never been called sexy man and sexy lady so many times before in our lives. Coupled with the fact that the average age is 40+ most people are a little over weight. This means if you are in your twenties you really feel like and constantly be told you are the best looking person ever! The beer is cheap in most places every one is friendly especially the lady boys.
You can go diving. jetskiing, parachute jumping, waterskiing, have a massage or chill in the Sun. A cheaper version of what Florida might have looked like in the 80's. The clubs and bars are packed and buzzing, crowded walking street blasting techno to trance, live rock bands there is something for every one. Its easy to see the apeal for so many, also 10 - 15 min away there are calmer more relaxing beaches, or 30min ferry ride to Koh Larn Island.
But it lacks the picturesque lagoon with towering island rock formations most people imagine when they think of Thailand, so after 5 days of partying with Frankie 4 Finergers and Stevie. Time for Koh Tao and Koh Phi Phi for some amazing beaches and lagoons....
