Quick question for the Pattaya regulars — has anything changed in the last few months?
I was there 6 months ago and had a great time but I've heard some crackdowns happened.
Worth going back or should I try somewhere new?
Cheers
Best time to visit Pattaya

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

Not sure I agree about that area. I found a different part to be better value.

Adding my experience from February.
The scene has stayed the same since pre-COVID. Biggest change: better quality overall.
