For most tourists, acquaintance with Thailand starts in Pattaya, which is considered the main tourist center. After all, it is here that the resort area is located as close as possible to different interesting attractions. Personally, Pattaya I remember exactly excursions, although in the quality of the beach rest, it is also inferior to Turkey, not to mention European resorts.
When I first arrive in Pattaya, I advise you to get to the crocodile farm, since here for only 100 baht can be photographed with elephant and crucibles, as well as shake the paw of a friendly bear. And in general, the situation in the park is very beautiful. I also recommend taking a tour "All Pattaya" for a quick inspection of beautiful temple complexes and attractions. Sino-Thai Museum, Longly Women's Village, Buddha Mountain, Buddha Mountain, Buddha Take, where you can make a material desire, mini-siam, snake farm - all this can be visited in just one day.
One evening decided to devote depravity, namely, visiting the show transvestites "Alcazar" and walk through the Walking Street. The show disappointed - crazy $ 30 per ticket and it is not clear what to watch, except for bright outfits. The speech reminds Peskov's concert, only a little more exotic. In any case, this art is not for me, and I do not advise you to spend money on this show, but this is a purely subjective opinion. They say that the show "Tiffany" is better and more interesting, but we did not go there, because There are more expensive tickets and can not take pictures.
As for the street of red lanterns, I don't even know who will like to walk there. Crowds of prostitutes and pimps, who literally in the face twitch photographs of a frank erotic content, offering intimate services of any nature for a snot - this is only the top of the iceberg. Schipachi, pockets and bred, which offer to treat a cocktail with a blank sleeping pills - here is the heart of Walking Street. They found some less a decent cafe, where the lobster bought, and they still inflated us there, and the prices are just wild, so I advise you to dinner anywhere, but not here.
The only thing that really caused interest is the Tapet who learned the Russian Material Song, and tried to sing her with a corresponding focus on some balalaica. This is probably the main artist on the street that always has an excitement. At the very least, we stood in a crowd of 30-40 people who were happily danced under Thai-Russian song.
Thus, Pattaya is really a city of contrasts, where in opposition to the beautiful and clean parks of the crocodile farm is the dirt and the lowness of the Walking Street. Therefore, the rest marked only with pleasant impressions, I advise it to pre-plan it, separately allocating the most interesting places worthy of visits.
