Interesting read from Thailand’s Nation newspaper regarding the use of Plastic in hotels, as a long-term resident of Pattaya I for one hope that Pattaya will follow suite with this idea, with so many new tourists flooding Pattaya especially from the Asian countries including China,
With all the large condominium projects being completed and transferred to new buyers the population of Pattaya is drastically increasing which is very good for the Pattaya Real Estate Market but the side effects will increase the use of plastic which is already a major problem and if not controlled with similar ideas like this one in Phuket will cause major environmental issues in the Future for Pattaya. The two photos below are take by myself these two beach are under 20 minutes drive from Cental Pattaya sight to be seen beaches with no plasic waste or derbris of any kind, lets keep them this way and try to clean the beaches closer to Pattaya city to the same standard
I think the majority of Pattaya property owners Houses, villas or Condominiums would embrace a cleaner more environmentally friendly Pattaya, which will have a roll-on effect to encourage more tourists to visit this beautiful Pattaya city on the coast, Pattaya hotels, Real Estate and businesses will flourish, the local Thai people will have a better standard of living, all in all a green environmentally friendly Pattaya would benefit everyone in the area.
The Nation News Paper
All members of the Phuket Hotels Association have jointly committed to eliminate plastic water bottles and drinking straws from rooms by 2019 as part of an effort to ensure a sustainable future for Phuket, said association president Anthony Lark.
The association has also provided information to its hotel members about companies that provide alternatives to plastics for food storage, waste bags and guest amenities.
Lark said the association aims to ensure a sustainable short-term and long-term tourism environment in Phuket by encouraging its member hotels to take action and adopt sustainable, none plastic solutions amenities and services to their guests.
“We’ve tracked the single use plastic in place at our hotels and provided the hotel owners and management with cost effective solutions to switch from plastics to sustainable alternatives. We’ve worked closely with the government and support the efforts of Thai schools and colleges to slowly but surely make changes. We will also be recognizing those hotels that make the most progress,” he added.
Lark said that the growing numbers of tourists on the island actually helps make the alternatives more economically viable. For instance, the change from using plastic water bottles to reusable glass actually saves the hotels money and this has been demonstrated at many of members’ hotels that have already made the switch.
Phuket Hotels Association recently announced a new annual international forum called PHIST (Phuket Hotels for Islands Sustaining Tourism), which will hold its first event on the island in September to support the region's hospitality industry in its fight for a sustainable future.
The PHIST Forum 2018 will take place on September 24th at the JW Marriott Phuket Resort & Spa and is coorganised by C9 Hotelworks and Greenview, respected consultants to the regional hospitality industry. The innovative ecofocused event will bring together some of Southeast Asia’s key tourism and hospitality stakeholders – particularly those operating in island destinations – to explore solutions to the region’s most pressing environmental issues.
“Island tourism in Southeast Asia is at a critical juncture; we simply cannot continue overlooking the impacts,” said Eric Ricaurte, founder and CEO of Greenview in an association media release trumpeting the event.
“Risks are real and sustainability must be the driving force behind future growth. But how do we change and adapt to the challenges we face, then catalyse solutions across the region? Education is the key and PHIST will create a forum for positive action.”
The PHIST program will feature a series of expert panels, themed talks, technical workshops and roundtable discussions covering topics such as sustainable operations, destination development, and overtourism. The event is expecting 500 delegates from around the Asia region. All the sessions will be free to attend.
Working together is essential for the industry’s longterm survival, said Bill Barnett, managing director of C9 Hotelworks.
“Environmental destruction is a crisis without borders and the hospitality industry needs to collaborate, find answers, and come up with a regional action plan,” he said. “We can literally use PHIST to fight for our sustainable survival.”
In line with the organisation’s solutions-oriented approach, the Phuket Hotels Association will use PHIST 2018 as an opportunity to showcase its “People. Planet. Phuket” campaign, which aims to educate local island communities and visitors about the importance of the Three Rs – Reduce, Reuse and Recycle.
The campaign brings together over 70 member hotels in an education initiative targeting Phuket’s schools, designed to promote environmental protection and support. The community-based programme uses specially created anime characters, including “The Phist”, a school teacher-turned-superhero who fights and defeats polluting enemies like plastic straws, plastic bottles and oil waste in the ocean.
PHIST is supported by major tourism organisations, including the Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT), Thailand Convention and Events Bureau (TCEB), and the American Chamber of Commerce (AMCHAM) and AustralianThai Chamber of Commerce (AUSTCHAM). Phuket Governor Norrapat Plodthong will open the event.
Lark added that one of the Phuket Hotels Association’s most important tasks is to create a forum for the hotel members to gain access to information on ways to reduce their use of plastics.
“This is, of course, a global issue and we all decided that we wanted Phuket to take the initiative to address these issues with education and actionable strategies that really make a difference. Every tropical island faces the same issues as Phuket and now is the time to start a serious effort to address this in Southeast Asia,” said Lark.
“When the other destinations see the efforts we make to bring together the community, we hope it will raise awareness throughout the region. The PHIST event has a strong regional message and we have already received a lot of interest from islands throughout the Asean bloc interested in the discussion and working towards real actionable solutions and instilling best sustainable practices.
“And yes, every small step we all take makes a difference for Phuket and benefits all those who visit our beautiful Island,” Lark concluded.

Why should i buy a condominium or house In Pattaya?????
Thinking of buying a Thailand Condominium or house as a second home, Investment property, permanent residence, or retirement home, as everyone knows in Real estate purchases we say Location Location Location and that location is different to us all,
Condominium with beach view the most important to some a Condominium with Mountain views to others will be more important you alone can make the decision, if like many before you have decided that amazing Thailand is the country for your property purchase condominium or pool villa maybe, the next step is where and which city or province is your preferred choice, there are so many options with in Thailand, Bangkok city of angels, Phuket / Krabi with amazing beaches and scenery as good as anywhere in the world.
Chang Mai with some of the most scenic mountain ranges with some of the best biking trails to be found.
Koh Samui small but as they say big things come in small packages, the natural parks and reservations and coast line is a true amazement or Pattaya the vibrant city on the beach,
Here are a few reasons I decided to settle in Pattaya after living 3 years in Phuket, 2 years in Koh Samui and 1 year in Bangkok all have many positives but sadly a lot more negatives from my point of view for long term living.
Have a read and I would love to listen to your opinion and comments. I do not like to spend much time talking about the negative points, negative points for me maybe positive points for others and who am I to say.
- The well established infrastructure that Pattaya has to offer to new home owners or condominium buyers is the first thing, the infrastructure may not be the first thing that comes into your mind especially coming from the western developed countries as the creature comforts are to be expected, could you actually imagine life with out stable internet, Transport links and Highways within Thailand and all the provinces, or only living on Thai food ( in my opinion the best cuisine in the world but still like roast dinner from time to time) some parts of Thailand still have very basic restaurant’s without the foreign influence, medical care it is a nice thought to know that on your doorstep there are many international Standard Hospital’s as good as anything in the western world, and education if you have children this has to be a major thought in your decision making, Pattaya has some amazinginternational schools offering some of the very best education.
So, if you are planning on relocating Pattaya has all the above in a abundance it is all here in Pattaya city.

Pattaya Populated but not Over Populated
There is no doubt that Pattaya has so many attractions not just the Pattaya night life of Pattaya beach road and the famous Walking street but Many other attractions that attract visitors either as tourists or long term stayers, So the question is answered quite simply over populated and to busy NO, Pattaya city is none stop practically 24 hours a day, Now with the infrastructure that has been dramatically improved over the last few years with new roadways, Highways, Tunnel and now the proposed high speed rail link, Pattaya city has now regenerated and improved a lot of the Suburbs, so if Pattaya is a bit to hectic and crowded for you to live here then now you can move to some of the much quitter suburbs areas that are now just minutes away by car or Taxi areas such as Naklua & Wongamat Beach the famous Pratamank hill renowned for the quietness with the Buddha Hill being located there and the Thai Royal Family having a residence there very clean and safe Family area, Not to forget East Pattaya growing in popularity with many expats who purchase a house on one of the many villages that have been built for privately owned properties to be purchased or rented on long term stays, other areas that are easily accessible to Pattaya city are ,Mabprachan lake area, Huay Yai, Silver lake, Baan Ampur, Na Jomtien and one of my personal favorites retreats the sleepy Fishing Village of Bangsaray, some of the most scenic beach coastline, picturesque area if the budget is there to buy a beach front Villa, out of all the areas we have discussed Bangsaray is probably the furthest from Pattaya city yet still under 30 minutes’ Drive, Are all of these options available to you in a city such as Bangkok? I do not think so;
- Pattaya Booming or on the decline
This is a easy question is Pattaya Booming: YES: all you have to do is drive around Pattaya City the first thing you will notice is the traffic and the tour busses, Shopping malls existing such as Royal Garden Plaza, Mikes and Central Festival and the new Shopping Mall to open soon Terminal 21, expected cost of the build of Terminal 21 Pattaya is 7.5 billion THB with early 2019 as expected opening date as I understand, so if a company is willing to invest 7.5 billion thb, and the latest high rise condominium luxury top end 5 star condominium to be built The Edge Pattaya which is is under construction by the Sansiri group. If you would like to learn more about the edge please Rest-property The Edge
Would you say that Pattaya was a area on the up or on the decline????
- Thailand Pattaya Stable property market?
The Pattaya property market is relatively stable when you compare with some of the western countries with property prices gradually increasing, when you compare with a lot of western countries this should give you a certain level of confidence in the Pattaya property market, even when there has been a down time in the Pattaya property market the property prices no matter if buying or selling condominiums or buying or selling Houses the actual purchase price has never plummeted, in my experience the worst case scenario has been that the property prices have just stayed the same no increase in house prices or decrease in house prices for a short period of time,
This makes the time for the Pattaya property market shorter to rebound and prices to start to increase.
This is a period of time globally that the property market is just starting to comeback where as the property market in Pattaya is still flying along, with many new projects being released some luxury high end condominiums have just been released in Pattaya and Jomtien, says a lot about the Pattaya property market when you look at the quality being built, the market before was for the smaller budget condominiums for sale now it has changed, not so many of the small budget condominium’s being built but more of the middle to high end condominiums being released and under construction.
New Modern Pattaya Pool villas for sale on secure project complexes are on the increase, House sales of new and existing homes is also increasing, the local developers have truly upped there game now there are many different styles of houses for sale Thai Bali, Modern European Style , Traditional Thai Style houses many options available as the Pattaya property market offers the options that you desire with also the House for sale Price range something to fit all budgets affordable to the luxury pool villas and homes, when you compare what you can get here compared to the western world, for example modern Style 3 bedroom fully fitted and furnished with private swimming pool under 5 minutes to the beach 4,500,000thb Modern 3 bedroom villa
or would you prefer exclusive a more exclusive Villa
- There is little doubt that Pattaya and the surrounding suburbs have plenty to offer everyone Young or old. After all, if you are going somewhere for a vacation or you are actually buying a property to live here you don’t want to be bored do you, Pattaya caters for every taste. If you are sports minded the golf in the region is undoubtably a golfing mecca with over 16 international golf courses water sports every type you can think off, excellent beaches close by and of course all the famous nightlife that Pattaya is famous for Pattaya beach road nigh life Pattaya walking street truly amazing, you could not ever wish for more. For the younger people also, many things to do in Pattaya, water Parks, Movie theaters, Bowling, Museum, Go Carting, No matter how long you stay, you can be certain you won’t get bored young or old Pattaya is a place that you can enjoy, life the quite peaceful Pattaya suburbs or live in central Pattaya and enjoy all the nightlife, with all the infrastructure improvements to the Pattaya Area and suburbs traveling is quick safe and efficient so live anywhere and still be able to enjoy all of the attraction’s that are available.
- Is Pattaya City Close everywhere?
Pattaya is a city with which all the infrastructure has changed dramatically over the last few years with new Highways connecting all the local areas beach areas such as Wongamat beach, Jomtien beach, Dongtan beach, Baan Ampur beach and the ever-popular fishing village of Bangsaray all easily accessible with very good connecting road ways, Thailand’s capital city Bangkok and the Bangkok international airport is 90 minutes’ drive with direct access to the motorway, the old Domestic airport Utapo has undergone a major face lift and upgrade to Full international airport and now renamed Utapo Rayong international, Many airlines are now using this local airport for international arrivals and departures soon we will all be able to fly in and out of this airport with out the need to travel to Bangkok, Utapo airport is around 30 minutes from Central Pattaya New International airport Utapo Rayong

www.rest-property.com https://realestatespecialiststhailand.com/for-sale/house-for-sale/pattaya-new-project-2414.html
At R.E.S.T we do not put a generic Villa project on the website we take the time and effort in putting some effort in to list individual villas and house for sale, for example let us say we decided to advertise the luxury villa project Palm Oasis located in Jomtien Pattaya, what the R.E.S.T team would do, firstly meet with the developer do a site and house / Villa inspection learn as much about the project and the developer a possible then let’s say there are three types of villas / houses for sale Type A Type B Type C we will advertise that particular Villa / House in as much detail as possible, letting the potential Buyer know which plots each villa / House may be constructed on which obviously assists the buyer, as we all know we are all different some people will want their house built with the idea of as much shade as possible where as there are other people who will want the direct sunshine (what do they say Mad dogs and Englishmen LOL) This is where using R.E.S.T as your agent during the purchase starts to pay dividends as we have taken the time to learn about the development, and if a question arises if we do not have the answer to then we have direct call to the developer for the correct answer.
(I only use Palm Oasis Jomtien as a example as I am proud to say I was working on this project from conception all the way through to completion sales, marketing, aftersales service even House & villa inspections throughout the construction period Thus giving me a very good track record in the process of buying House & Villa market especially pre construction this experience in the new development is priceless
Have you ever considered purchasing a Villa or House? When you start looking at properties each one you have visited has many plus points but as many if not more negatives, then you consider the option of buying a plot of land and having a property built for you this opens a can of worms so to speak, is the builder you have chosen going to fulfill his obligations to you, will the materials used be the ones you have insisted on, to have a property built is a viable option but you do have to have a totally hands on approach on a daily basis most do not have the time and resources to do this.
Purchasing of a respected developer cuts out that part of the problem, how do we know it is a respectable developer you might ask well R.E.S.T have done this part of the home work for you,
Real estate specialists Thailand are happy to endorse and assist with any possible purchases on any projects that you may have intention on purchasing a new house on the new development. If the new project you are considering is one that we have not completed a project and company profile check list, then prior to your personal inspection visit Real Estate Special Thailand team will do the due diligence for you on the project and developer, New project site inspection and house/villa inspection.
R.E.S.T do this work for free we do not charge for this service for one simple reason, future enquires for the project potential buyers for the project can then contact, we will be able to give a immediate unbiassed acescent of the villa/house project and the developer who is building the project.
With the knowledge that we have gained on the developer and construction speeds the process up for potential buyers.

Casino Blogg
Casinos in Thailand here we go again I hear you say
Cannot wait for this to happen, beneficial to Thai Peoples lifestyle, Beneficial to the Thai economy, cut crime rate, create Jobs, so gambling is the savior or the devil in disguise ?????????????? are the other gambling areas of the world paradise, is gambling a problem solver or a problem creator,
I have listened to peoples arguments and read other people’s thoughts; hope you enjoy the read;;
With all the new and old ideas to reinvent the Pattaya outlook to worldwide tourists, recent events have many people who have thought it would be the right time to bring the old topic up again (Casinos come to Thailand) debate back to the four fronts of people’s minds. Ex Pat repeat holiday maker then this issue will have been brought to your attention over the years If you are new to Thailand Here is the tip of the ice burg:
Thailand was on the road to legalizing Gambling thus casino gambling in the country this was 9 to 10 years ago approximately. This was put on the back burner so to speak as a lot of the powerful and influential people within Thailand made strong opposition to legalizing Gambling, so the idea was put to bed, However the rumors continue to resurface IE Casino built in Pattaya, Bangkok to get fist Casino, Samui to be a tourist gambling mecca ETC ETC possibly some people would start these rumors for self-gain ( do you think that is possible ? )
Yes or no would legalizing gambling in Thailand be a good thing or a can of worms being opened, my personal opinion is that I am sitting on the fence (and staying there).
I hear the arguments for the legalization of gambling now their argument is cut and dried, Casinos in Thailand would generate thousands of potential jobs thus giving economic life into certain areas that lets be honest real require a lift, Tourism industry would be given a boost by attracting a certain type of tourist and not just foreign tourists Thai nationals included,
That at the present time use some of the other South East Asia destinations where gambling is legal and casinos are flourishing, as they say the upper class high spending tourists that like to gamble who now venture to areas such as Singapore & Macau would then be tempted and attracted to the thought of Amazing Thailand being a new destination option.
Money Money Money yes money talks (or the root of evil?) people who are for legalizing gambling always point to the fact that a lot of Money that is leaving Thailand to go to some of the neighboring countries, also the illegal gambling dens being used around Thailand would be squeezed out so by legalizing gambling you will be eradicating another major problem and generating the economy and creating jobs.
Most suggestions and proposals feature some rules restricting gamblers, targeting the “high end well heeled” individuals. One question to arise if only well-heeled people were allowed to gamble, how would that stop the operation of illegal gambling dens found in the country? Currently in Thailand, an illegal lottery system co-exists alongside the state sponsored lottery. It is likely that legalized casinos would have a similar non-effect on illegal dens if the Casinos were to only allow the “High end well heeled “
Could the government stop the outflow of gambling money crossing the borders to other countries? If local gamblers are requested to prove they are people of “means” and then suffer the gross invasions of their privacy or financial solvency, I do not think seriously you could keep gamblers from crossing the border to gamble their money away in another country anonymously with these checks into the status.
For me personally as a person who does not gamble at the casinos with my hard-earned cash I will be sitting on the fence with this debate, looking from both sides of the coin there are benefits for and against Casinos in Thailand.
Exiting news for Pattaya Tourism & real estate with the news that the Thailand government will open bidding for the first phase of a hi-speed rail project linking Bangkok to Pattaya for the real estate investors this will only be good, Under the plan, the first four routes will cover 250 kilometers linking Bangkok to Phitsanulok, Nakhon Ratchasima and Hua Hin as well as to Pattaya. Construction on all the four routes will begin at the same time with the aim of opening the new track network in 2018. Twenty minutes Bangkok Pattaya as an expected travel time commuting to work from Pattaya to Bangkok will be a real option.
Government approval will be necessary for the international bidding process expected to be completed next year. China, Japan, South Korea and France have all expressed strong interest in bidding for the routes. The plan aims to boost the country’s economy by reducing energy costs by 400 billion baht as Thailand focuses more on rail travel at the expense of road transport. At the moment, rail accounts for only two percent of all traffic and roads for 80 percent. The price of oil internationally is expected to double within the next five years with likely big increases in the cost of petrol.
Extracts from Thai news media quoted Pansak Vinyaratn, chief adviser to the prime minister said that hi-speed trains are necessary to ensure solid growth of the country’s economy as Thailand would otherwise lose competitiveness in the long run. Second-phase construction would mean that Bangkok would link by hi-speed rail to Chiang Mai, Nong Khai, Rayong and Hat Yai by 2022. The new railway networks will serve both passengers and cargo, including faster transport of agricultural goods which tend to deteriorate if transported long distances by road, roll on effect will mean that a large percentage of traffic will be taken off the roads.
Details of the new routes, including the exact location of stations, have not yet been decided. Pattaya’s tourism & Real estate industry are expected to gain hugely with the arrival of a 20-minute fast train service from Bangkok or Suvarnabhumi to the seaside resorts of Pattaya Jomtien & surrounding districts. A City Hall source told the local Pattaya media Pattaya Today, “The current rail station is far out of the city in east Pattaya, so we are hoping that the railhead for the new hi-speed trains will be nearer the downtown area.” Another suggestion is to build a monorail track to take passengers directly from the hi-speed train to the centers of Pattaya and Jomtien.
The latest rail project will be a huge step forward in enabling Pattaya to triple its receipts from tourism by the end of the decade or soon afterwards. Other infrastructure improvements already agreed to or in the pipeline are a beach reclamation project, more by-pass roads and tunnels, a better waste disposal system,
With the advent of the Asean Economic Community in 2015, a free-trade area of 10 countries in the region, economists say that the hi-speed rail plans will enhance Thailand as the logistics hub of South East Asia with all the basic infrastructure such as inland transport and rail and deep seaports to carry the expected increase in freight across national frontiers. Also scheduled for completion in 2018 is Dawei port in Myanmar, a deep-water facility with major Thai funding, which will speed up the transport of goods between Asean countries and beyond to India.
As they say if you stand still you are actually going backwards this news is a major boast for the Pattaya Tourism real state and business sector that have over the past few years found it hard, a true statement of intent to improve Thailand’s infrastructure, anybody who remembers Bangkok prior to the opening of the BTS (Bangkok Mass Transit System) in 1999will remember what a difference it made to travel around Bangkok, the news regarding the High speed rail links are a bigger game changer for the region.
No doubt there will be some critics for the project but this happens when any major change comes around some people are set in their ways and do not like change, on a personal note I embrace change after living in Thailand for over twenty years Phuket, Koh Samui, Bangkok and where I like to call home Pattaya I have seen many changes and heard may critics of the changes
;;;;;;;;We can't be afraid of change. You may feel very secure in the pond that you are in, but if you never venture out of it, you will never know that there is such a thing as an ocean, a sea. Holding onto something that is good for you now, may be the very reason why you don't have something better
2017 Pattaya report
Has it all been doom and gloom
In my humble opinion defiantly not there have bee some dips but generally 2017 has been a very interesting year in the Pattaya real estate market, but certainly not all doom and gloom as some like to make out.
In my opinion and the opinion of many of my friends and colleagues that work in the real estate market 2017 has been a very interesting year for the real estate market and Pattaya property market, we have seen some ups and downs this year in the market place, one of the biggest impacts in real estate was the Russian speaking buyers which grew at a remarkable rate of speed maybe to quick to be sustainable from 2008 to 2013 then a dramatic reduction in the Russian speaking buyers in the market after 2013. In the last quarter of 2017 we have seen a slight rise in the Russian speaking buyers again.
Russian speaking buyers were taken over by the Chinese speaking buyers, with the idea of buying the budget smaller condos at around 1,800,000thb, the Chinese mind set seems to be to buy cheaper budget condominiums but buy lots of condominiums, the majority of the luxury and middle range properties were bought by Thai, Singaporeans, Europeans and Japanese buyers.
The worldwide recession obviously had a impact on the real estate market in Thailand as it did in the Global scheme of real estate over the last few years, we have seen some developers cancel or postpone projects in 2017, this a good reason to look at the overall picture and say it is not all doom and gloom as there are other developers that have carried on regardless with their new projects with reports of very good sale figures reached from there off plan projects these are obviously reputable developers with vision of the future being a bright one in the Pattaya property market.
The real estate market in 2017 has not been solely condominiums and apartments private house sales and housing developments have recovered, with some new luxury development’s and existing projects reporting that sales are on the increase, we at R.E.S.T https://realestatespecialiststhailand.com/(Real Estate Specialist Thailand) have over the course of the year equaled out on sales between houses and condominiums,
Rentals have also been on the rise in 2017 with repeat rental customers and also new customers for vacation or extended stays, with the infrastructure improving and making all the outlying areas more accessible people are spreading there wings a little bit more than they used too, heading down the coast to Baan Ampur and Bangsaray and inland areas such as Huay Yai and Mabprachan lake.
The Pattaya Tourist has also changed drastically, once not so many years back it was a rare sight to see families on vacation in Pattaya the majority would be single men taking advantage of the relaxed Pattaya attitude cheap drinks and friendly Thai people,
In the present climate there are more families on vacation then ever before and Pattaya becoming more Family orientated and very children friendly, with ample attractions to keep the young and old amused at all times
Taking a look at the attractions that are now here in the land of smiles the old idea of Thailand’s reputation is vanishing it is not simply a destination for lively nightlife, which is still here and is one of the liveliest places to visit for the nightlife, but not the sole reason, in the Pattaya region you will find some fantastic beaches to relax on also island hoping is easy to do with private speed boats for hire or the many ferry crossings, international standard water parks, international standard Golf Courses , Cabaret shows, Magic shows, Ripples believe it or not, some excellent Cabaret shows to and fun tours to be seen.
- Tiffany's Cabaret Show With VIP Seating.
- Alcazar Cabaret Show with Transfers.
- Cartoon Network Amazone Waterpark Thailand.
- Ko Samet Island Full-Day Excursion.
- Nong Nooch Tropical Garden Half-Day Tour.
- Flight of the Gibbon, Chonburi Zipline Tour.
- Koh Larn Coral Island Day Trip with Lunch.
- Ripley's Believe It or Not! Museum.
And that is just the tip of the ice burg so to speak of the attractions to be found. There is so much for everyone.

Things to do if you are living in Pattaya city or surrounding areas many people think Pattaya is still all about the beer bar scene, and years ago this was true with Pattaya city having a reputation for late night partying and staying in bed the following day,
Well over the years things have changed and in my opinion for the better as now you may still party in the many entertainment complexes such as walking street and the many beer bars on the Pattaya beach road till late in to the night,
As a Expat living and working in the real estate industry in Thailand for over 20 years I have noticed some magnificent changes especially in the areas I have had the pleasure to live and work such as Pattaya Phuket and Koh Samui and a short time in the capitol City Bangkok.
The big difference now in the resort area of Pattaya is that it has cleaned its act up, now there is multitude of things to do in Pattaya with some of the branded names now here such as The Marriot hotel, The Sheraton, Hard rock hotel and recently opened the world famous Hooters bar and restaurant on Pattaya beach road,

The cultural side of This great country is also very pleasant with the varied temples that are on offer to view Wat (Temple) Chai in South Pattaya is a way of seeing the Buddhist faith in the real form and not something made up for the tourist,
Note if you are visiting the Temples respect the ethics and dress code it is frowned upon for ladies not to have their shoulders covered and wearing reveling cloths is a complete Taboo, Please do not listen to the people who say once you have seen one temple you have seen them all, this is nonsense I have been luck enough to visit many temples and they are all very different in so many aspects.
Accommodation in Pattaya has a wide choice if you are looking for luxury hotels they are here including Private Ocean’s edge villas for rent, Some of the top branded hotels are here,
For the people who do not require the five star life style there are plenty of budget hotels around town Back packers hostels are still available or rooms in guest houses are very good value for money.

As all good Thailand beach guides will tell you Jomtien has a 6 kilometer long straight stretch of a sandy coast line with much improved sidewalks for the pleasant early morning or sunset walks from your condominium or house, Jomtien beach is much quieter area than the local rowdy neighbor J to the north of Pattaya beach and the nightlife of walking street.
Saying that Jomtien beach still has plenty to offer with the clean beach and some of the finest international standard restaurant’s, as most expats and people who have had the pleasure of visiting Jomtien beach will tell you it is a must to try the exotic street food that Thailand is renowned for inexpensive and extremely tasty, Thai soups such as Tom Yum Gung, Barbecue fish, crab and prawns Thai salads all enjoyed at the side of the beach road or lazing on the ample deck chairs on Jomtien beach.

As some may believe Pattaya might not be the most attractive seaside resort in Thailand, but it is probably one of the most popular. Attracting visitors from around the world from Europe to America New Zealand to Africa, the resort is lively and cosmopolitan city on the beach. The close proximity to Bangkok also makes it a popular weekend destination for those living or working in the Thai capital with an ever increasing in popularity with Thai nationals.
Pattaya certainly has its critics with some of the vibrant nightlife won’t be to everybody’s liking (but as the Pattaya property market will show times are changing with many luxury condominium projects http://realestatespecialiststhailand.com/for-sale/condo-for-sale/centric-sea-condo-cs1513.html constructed or under construction), with a reputation in the past as the Sin City however this is all changing with a walk down walking street will prove, you will now find high class restaurant’s Music venues entertainment complexes that are not related to the tag of Sin City,
However, the many repeat visitors to Pattaya can justifiably say that the resort City of Pattaya has a great location, is easy to get around with undoubtedly the best public transport system with the Baht buss hop on hop off system with a cost of only 10 baht anywhere, These repeat visitors general end up purchasing holiday homes or residential property house or condominium. http://realestatespecialiststhailand.com/for-sale/house-for-sale/premium-house-hs1247.html
Pattaya now also enjoys some world-class 5 Star branded hotels and facilities. The city is a melting pot of all nations and people from all parts of Thailand and worldwide. Whilst the bar scene, go-go bars and neon lights of Central and South Pattaya are prominent there is now so much more that Pattaya has to offer, with more and more entertainment venues opening with the latest being the world renowned HOOTERS NOW ON Pattaya beach.
Where to stay in Pattaya are you looking for budget or luxury, Pattaya has the full range from Back packers hostels to absolute 5 star luxury with all the leading branded hotels are now established here In Pattaya, plus the option of renting a serviced apartment or private house for rent with private swimming pool.
Central Pattaya is the main shopping district with many shopping malls such as Royal Garden, The Avenue, Central Festival, Mikes and many of the smaller market style boulevard’s, Restaurant’s from all corners of the world, don’t forget to experience the culinary delights of the Thai street food vendors.
South Pattaya is where you will find the famous Pattaya walking street with the amazing night life from quite cozy cafes and bistros to some fantastic but loud live music with mazing light shows that would not be lost in Las Vegas, there is something here for all visitors to enjoy GOGO cabaret shows live entertainment street performers.
A gay friendly area known as Boyz town and Pattaya Land is also found in South Pattaya with classy massage parlors general beer bars, Cabaret and so much more gay or straight you will be made to feel at home here and enjoy the ambience, Gay friendly hotels are also found in this area.
Moving along the coast you will arrive at the more family orientated Jomtien beach which is fast catching up with Pattaya city for night life beer bar complex called Rumpole many side streets such as Jomtien Soi 5 also known as Soi immigration with bars and restaurants, if you are along this road highly recommended is the long established Simple Simons restaurant for European food, soi 6 and 7 also offer beer bars and restaurant’s accommodation is also found along these Sois but be careful can be noisy,
Jomtien complex is a predominately gay friendly area but not as busy as Pattaya Boyz town again though some fine restaurants and entertainment establishments in this area, again as in the Pattaya gay scene you do not have to be gay to enjoy this area as all are made welcome and fun evenings are had by all.
In the opposite direction you will come to Naklua Wongamat and North Pattaya
The area of Naklua and north Pattaya is very popular with German and Scandinavian visitors. There are plenty of bars and restaurants, but the entertainment isn’t as full-on as it can be in South or Central Pattaya. The further north you head into Naklua, the more it has the appeal of a more traditional Thailand town. The market and fishing boats are places where few tourists tend to go, but are well worth a visit to experience real Thai culture, Wongamat has many high class hotels and Luxury Condominiums for sale compared to the rest of the world beach front condos are still relatively inexpensive http://realestatespecialiststhailand.com/for-sale/condo-for-sale/club-royal-condo-cs1401.html

Pattaya and the surrounding areas are places unlike any other, and will always make a lasting impression.
Whether it's the Thai culture, the nightlife with the cabaret shows dining experiences from the twenty Baht Thai noodles on the side of the road to the most amazing Seafood restaurants that are abundant,
The climate, the bargain prices, or the warm friendly people Thai people , there is something here that leaves visitors with a longing to return.
Thailand is the land of smiles and gets this name from the amazing Thai people who are patriotic beyond words and Love there country,
Night life of Pattaya; lets take a quick note on what we mean by Pattaya Nightlife. Unlike most western countries, much of what makes up the daytime economy and life style here is open late into the night and early mornings. You'll find in Pattaya that shopping outlets, drinking outlets, massage parlous, sports facilities, gymnasiums, Basically the things in the western world that would close early evening here in Pattaya they spring to life. A true city that never sleeps.
Pattaya as a city in general has developed rapidly over the last 40 to 50 years and the development is continuing at a rapid rate, once a quite fishing village has now turned into a truly great city to spend time weather on vacation or living here there is something for every one.
Pattaya has been dubbed 'Sin City' and is regarded as being the number one choice destination for a Thailand sex vacation. Let's be absolutely clear, the 'Sin-City' name tag is well deserved, But times are changing with the area becoming more family orientated, Just take a look at the all the new international water parks that are opening up,
Pattaya still has a larger array of tourist focused night time venues from which to choose from more than any other destination in Thailand. Even Bangkok's main tourist focused nightlife industry pales in comparison, again though the times are changing with many nightlife activities to do that does not revolve around sex tourism, we now have a 24 hour international Go-Kart track for example.
Whilst Pattaya nightlife is second to none, you should not assume that every other Westerner you will see on the street is here just for that. More and more families are choosing to holiday here, and there is a large and growing expat community. Pattaya caters for all sorts of visitors these days, it is not all about naughty nightlife. There are thousands of bars to choose from and everywhere is within walking distance. However, if you don't want to walk, then the public transport has to be the best and cheapest in the world, metered Taxi, Baht bus hop on hop off, plus the abundance of motorcycle taxis that will ferry you any where anytime (Bit like a Martini) on the main roads,
Pattaya is Changing at a formidable rate with the infrastructure getting better by the day making day to day living as a tourist or a resident so much easier, The new Jomtien second road which now makes quick and efficient travel between Jomtien and Pattaya and all the way to the main Highway of Sukhamvit in Na Jomtien, three lane high from South Pattaya through Jomtien and on To Na Jomtien.
Now with the news of the impending high speed rail link and the upgrade to the local domestic airport Utapo to a international standard airport the future is bright for the economy and residents of the region,
