Food Scene
A culinary feast. It offers everything from the best Thai street food to fresh seafood restaurants and international haute cuisine.
Transport
Dominated by 'baht buses' (songthaews), which are a very cheap and peculiar way of getting around. Taxis and tuk-tuks are a challenge.

Escape to Koh Larn during the week
Coral Island is beautiful, but it gets crowded on the weekends. Visit Monday through Thursday for a much quieter experience.
Discover the 'real' Pattaya in Naklua
Get away from the madness of the south and explore the Naklua neighborhood. Visit its fish market, eat at its local restaurants and observe the life of the fishermen.
Keep Calm and Smile
In Thai culture, losing your temper or raising your voice is considered highly disrespectful. Any problem will be best resolved with patience and a smile.
Wai: the Thai Greeting
Although foreigners are not expected to initiate it, if someone greets you with a 'wai' (placing your palms together), it is polite to return the gesture.
Travel Insurance
Essential. Private hospitals for tourists are of good quality but very expensive.
Hydration
Drink plenty of bottled water to combat the heat and humidity.
Beware of Scams in Bars (Go-Go)
Never enter a bar that seems empty and where they insist on you a lot. Beware of inflated bills and charges for 'shows' you didn't ask for. Pay for each drink instantly.
Choose your Tuk-Tuk well
In Pattaya, 'tuk-tuks' are actually 'songthaews' (vans). Those that run on fixed routes are cheap (10-20 baht). If you rent it as a private taxi, negotiate the price BEFORE you get in, as it will be much more expensive.
