In the 1960's, Pattaya, then a mere fishing village, was where American GIs would take their R&R from the Vietnam War. Being just a few hours from Bangkok, its popularity grew and the humble village soon gave way to encroaching developments and was transformed into an urban jungle with super highways, high-rise condominiums, hotels, and grand shopping malls.

It is fair to say that Pattaya is no longer well endowed with natural beauty, yet it remains one of the most popular holiday destinations in Thailand. Much of its success lies in its reputation for offering vibrant entertainment in a laid-back resort ambiance with its infamous nightlife of go-go bars and beer gardens galore. Pattaya has become a Mecca for single men seeking paid companionship and more, and the sight of young Thai girls (and boys) on the arms of a foreigner is all too familiar. That said, there is more to Pattaya than just 'sex and the city'. More recently, efforts have been made to change its image with the addition of more legitimate attractions like golf, horse riding, water-parks, convention centres and grand botanical gardens. There is a bit of everything for everyone in Pattaya now, and couples, as well as families, are a common sight.

For those with an affinity for crystal clear waters and white sandy beaches, you will be hard pressed to find them in Pattaya. The beaches range from average to downright disappointing. Some of the better options include beaches found on Na Jomtien towards Sattahip where the area is not fully developed and is still quite peaceful. The water is not very clear but the beaches are long and wide, and the sand is quite fine. Also, a big plus, they are empty of local vendors selling drinks and deck chairs.

On Jomtien Beach you will need proper footwear to skip over broken glass, leftover seafood and other unsavoury debris. The beach is lively with water activities, as the locals seem to be more tolerant to the state of the beach. At the end of Jomtien next to the police post is the small Dong Tan beach named after the big leafed palm trees that line the promenade. Like most of the beaches, it is packed with eager vendors who make you pay for worn out sun loungers. With its obscure location the beach has many masseurs for men and is popular with cruising gays.

The long stretch of beach from south Pattaya to central Pattaya is a beehive of activity. The beach is swamped with all sorts of touts offering parasailing, banana boat rides and boat tours to nearby islands, plus an array of drinks, sarong and souvenir vendors. It is certainly not the place to lie out on the sand, but the water activities offered are really good fun, albeit a bit touristy.

Less crowded beaches can be found towards the north of Pattaya. The beaches here are not spectacular but they are quiet and calm but still close enough to all the action.
