Pattaya is Thailand's main beach resort
town, about 2 hours drive southeast of Bangkok on the Gulf of Thailand,
and one & half hours from the International Airport.
It is a big, bustling
town with tourists and resident ex-pats from all over the world. It has
an almost exclusively
commercial gay scene, centered mainly around "Boyztown", Soi
Day and Night, and Sunee Plaza, with the latter seeing frequent
openings and closures of the many sleazy go-go and host bars found
there.
There are many gay and gay friendly hotels that will make you feel
welcome.
Nearby Jomtien has become increasingly popular as the
site of the gay beach
and with many gay businesses. It is a 10-15 minute bus ride from
Pattaya and listings for Jomtien arehere
Getting Around
Transport within and around Pattaya town is mainly by
Songtao bus, a pickup truck with seats down each side. They're also
known by tourists as "Baht Buses". You can flag one down and follow the
fixed route around town, paying the driver when you get off, or you can hire one for the journey you want and negotiate
the price.
Motorcycle taxis are
popular and cheap, but check the price first, and be aware of accidents.
There are also a couple
of municipal bus routes, including a Pattaya-Jomtien service.
Car and motorcycle hire
are readily available
too, but make sure you get 1st class insurance !
The Pattaya Players are a
troupe of amateur thespians established in January 2008. The
organization was created to provide an artistically adventurous
environment that attracts and excites diverse members of the Pattaya
community by providing theatrical productions that entertain, inspire
and inform. Email: pattayaplayers@gmail.com
