About Travel to Pattaya
Pattaya is Thailand’s most visited seaside resort destination. This popularity is largely because of its having the closest good swimming beach to Bangkok, making it a convenient option for international visitors arriving in Thailand at Suvarnabhumi Airport, which is less than 2 hours by from road from Pattaya, and also for Thai tourists from the economically vibrant capital city. Pattaya has suffered from a having reputation as destination for sex tourists dating back to the 1960s were American soldiers took holidays in the town during breaks from fighting in the Vietnam War. This reputation is not entirely undeserved. Parts of Central Pattaya, such as Walking Street and Soi LK Metro, have many go-go bars frequented by single men. This is, however, only one part of Pattaya and increasingly the city is shifting towards other types of tourism and the city is a popular destination for families as well, particularly for Asian tourists.
