Been thinking about visiting Pattaya and wanted to get the latest intel from those who've been recently.
Specifically interested in:
1. Current price ranges
2. Best areas to base yourself
3. Any safety concerns
4. How's the quality compared to Germany?
Any recent trip reports would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Good info. I'd add that going during the week is much better — less crowded, better prices.

Interesting take but I think you overpaid. Try using a different site next time.

I'd also recommend downloading Grab before you go. Essential.

Not sure I agree about that area. I found downtown to be better value.

Hmm, I had a different experience. Prices were lower when I went. Maybe timing matters.
