This matches my experience. Pattaya is great value for money.

Adding to this thread with my own experience from 3 weeks ago:
The scene has definitely improved since my last visit in 2023.
Biggest change: More competition means better service.
Still a great destination. Recommend for both beginners and veterans.

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

Not sure I agree about the area recommendation. I found downtown to be better.

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

Been going there for years and this is accurate. The scene has stayed consistent recently.

I was there in January and can add some detail:
Prices: Good value overall. I spent about $80/day on the hobby side.
Girls: Mix of local and working girls from other regions. Quality was good.
My favorite spot was a small bar off the main strip.
One tip: Go early in the evening for first pick.

Thanks for sharing. Did you use an agency or find girls online?
