Pattaya - International Beach Resort.
|
Pattaya-International Beach Resort. It was the end of April 1959. Really hot with most sensible people lounging in the shade. But a group of American servicemen on R&R (rest and recreation) were having the time of their lives sunning, swimming, and generally enjoying the good life on a 3-km curving beach called Pattaya. They started something, and for almost 40 years Pattaya has played host to the world's tourists seeking R&R on its wonderful beach. The ramshackle thatched cottages and beer bar shacks have evolved into four and five-star resorts, nightclubs and beer bar buildings. For a while Pattaya became somewhat naughty, legacy of the GI days, with a vibrant nightlife and night girls. But times continue to change, and today's tourist demands a lot more than just sitting on the beach and touring the nightspots in South Pattaya. As a result there are lots of things to see and do,find it's down below:
