God, i love that place. What a sleazy, grimy craphole full with hookers, drug dealers, english yobbo soccer hooligans and 50 year old men with language so rich it'll make your milk curdle. Still got to love the freaking place though.

Because of all the drugs, hookers and diverse range of characters both expat and farang you meet there. Fantastic.

Him and a plethora of others. Go sit on walking street any time day or night and you are guaranteed to see something that will make you laugh/cry/feel repulsed/feel good about humanity. I can't wait to go back there.

What about Angeles City? Anyone been there? That's on my 'hit list' of places to visit in Asia - Ruilian in China, and Angeles City.

I like sleaze.

Their's no beach there though, just a big dustbowl with a crap load of hookers and overpriced hotels. Pattaya is good in that it has easy access to nice beaches should you feel the need to escape the depravity. I love sleaze, and why the hell not? We are all consenting adults so personally, i see nothing wrong with the odd foray into debauchery that places like pattaya provide you with. roll on xmas, what better place to celebrate the birth of baby jeebus.

I liked it too. Plus the food was good and bought some nice cheap clothes. Levis for $10 aint bad anyway. Apparently there are nice beaches and other things there too. Quieter areas or whatever.

So let's see - you didn't hit up the beaches, you bought clothes, I'm assuming the rest of your time was spent in a Thai cooking class, or taking a TEFL course?

Pattaya has it all over Angeles. Not even close. Angeles is away from the beach, the sea inspires hedonism.

I've heard Pattaya is quite unpleasant. Anyone been to Phuket? It seems to be better. I've only been to Hua Hin - nice, but a little on the quiet side.

Well....i recently came back from 3 weeks in pattaya. It only became unpleasant when i started running out of money. Pattaya is no fun when you are broke or approaching broke. The only other unpleasantness i ran across was when a psycho bar girl scratched my face in a nightclub, that was it really. The place is depraved, but to me, depravity isn't that unpleasant. Don't go for the beaches or quiet times of reflection, go for the 24 hour partying and smoking hot bar/gogo girls, oh and good food, and dirt cheap clothes, and good drugs.
