Quite a disappointing visit!

I've been to both Phuket and Pattaya, and I would say that the latter is a much smaller version of the former. It's really, you could say, a city with incidentally a beach attached. Cos' the beachfront was really disappointing, with barely a 5m stretch of sand.

There aren't much entertainment or shopping available, save for the sleaze. Things aren't really very cheap either, I think one can find much better food at lower prices in Bangkok. Largely western cuisine, other than the small local eateries that serves authentic Thai food.

If you would really like to visit this place at least once in your life, give it just 1 day, the most 2.
