Pattaya itself it really not very nice. The beach is overrun with vendors and the water was only recently declared "safe for swimming" by the Thai authorities. We are residents in Bangkok though, and so it does make a quick and easy escape from the air pollution and crowds of Bangkok. However, when we do go, we make sure to stay at a nice hotel with good facilities and an excellent pool, since that is where we do our swimming. I wouldn't even bother visiting the beach.
There are some decent restaurants around, but my preference is to make sure the hotel has good food, and just avoid getting out into the sleaze that is Pattaya at night. If you're into the go-go bars and beer bars, then this is place for you. If you're travelling with kids, go to the Hard Rock Hotel or else avoid Pattaya altogether.
One thing that is a must-do though is the Tiffany show. It's really almost impossible to believe those are "men" up there on stage.

Unfortunately sea water not very clean in Pattaya; that is why a nice pool is very important.

Unfortunately, Pattaya has been destroyed by tourism. I don't think there is a better way to explain it than this- it is a real shame, as I am sure it was beautiful 30 or 40 years ago.

Pattaya is pretty sleazy with the majority of visitors being single males. Certainly not one of the better beaches in Thailand. The town was very quiet in August when we visited. Lots of good golf courses nearby. Pattaya airport is also worth a look if anyone has an interest in the Vietnam war.

I hated this place. It is one big brothel. Literally. Pattaya has to be seen to be believed.

Pattaya is a playground for men. Many bars and women who are more than willing to be your companion for the day. I was a little turned off at the overt solicitations on my husbands with me standing right next to him ( at first it was amusing but after a while, it is alittle rude )

Pattaya itself very very busy. Not the ideal holiday destination if you want peace and quiet, but a shopper's paradise. Not the best place to go for those easily offended!
