http://www.bargirl-spy.com/ Pattaya, located off the Gulf of Thailand, is approximately 145 km south of the city of Bangkok, surrounded by Bang Lamung District.
The city of Pattaya is a special municipal area which covers the whole tambon Nong Prue and Na Kluea and parts of Huai Yai and Nong Pla Lai. Bang Lamung township which forms the northern border of Pattaya covers parts of the tambon Bang Lamung, Nong Pla Lai and Takhian Tia. Bang Sali is on the southern border of Pattaya.
"Greater Pattaya" occupies most of the coastline of Banglamung (one of the eleven districts that comprise Chonburi Province). It is divided into a larger northern section which spans the areas to the east of Naklua Beach (the most northern beach) and Pattaya Beach (the main beach) plus the Buddha Hill headland (immediately south of Pattaya Beach), and a smaller southern section covering the area to the east of Jomtien Beach (which lies directly south of Buddha Hill) including Dongtan Beach. Jomtien's beaches are much broader and generally in better shape, and the atmosphere locally is more sedate and family-oriented, than at Pattaya Beach.

Pattaya Beach is situated alongside the city centre. The section of beach from Central Road (Pattaya Klang) south to the harbor is adjacent to the core of Pattaya's abundant nightlife area. Most sections of the beach are covered by rented deckchairs run by local beverage vendors during daylight hours.
Pattaya is the "Las Vegas" of southeast Asia. If you are looking for a party spot in this part of the world, this is the place to go. Although it's situated on the beach about 1 and a half hour's drive southeast of Bangkok, the main attractions in Pattaya are the nightlife and the shopping. Pattaya has now become even more accessible wtih the opening of Suvarnabhumi (pronounced soo-won-a-poom) airport, the new Bangkok airport. The airport is situated to the southeast of Bangkok so Bangkok city traffic is avoided if you head straight there from the airport. I recommend the use of the taxi stand immediately outside of arrivals area. Avoid the touts who throng the customs area trying to get you to use their service. Cost of a taxi is around 1300 baht.
There is never a dull moment in Pattaya
