Transportation guide for Pattaya

Any restaurants or bars you'd recommend for hanging out during the day?

What was your total spend for the trip, roughly? Trying to budget for mine.

Excellent write-up. This is why I love this forum — real, actionable information.

I was there in early March and can add some detail:

Prices: Slightly higher than reported. I spent about $80/day on the hobby side.

Girls: Mix of local and working girls from other regions. Quality was excellent.

My favorite spot was an agency I found online.

One tip: Go early in the evening for first pick.

Not sure I agree about the area recommendation. I found a different neighborhood to be better.

Agreed on all points. One thing I'd add — make sure to download an offline map.
