Pattaya (often translated as "Pattaya") is a famous seaside resort in Thailand on the southern tip of the Central and Southern Peninsula.
Pattaya is located 147 kilometers southeast of Bangkok. Pattaya, with its classic Southeast Asian seawater and sandy beaches, has been called the "Hawaii of the East". Especially from Pattaya 9 kilometers away from the Coral Island, is the largest island outside of Pattaya Beach, the island is surrounded by a lot of sandy beaches, sand white, fine cotton, the water is clear to the bottom.
Pattaya is located off the east coast of Thailand, about 150 kilometers from Bangkok. Before I did not go to Pattaya, I had fantasized about this Oriental Hawaii - sunshine, sand, blue sky, but when I arrived in Pattaya, only to find that there is no beauty to be seen here, even if I live in the seaside HOTEL, even if I went to the famous Golden Sands Island, and then I realized that the charm of Pattaya, as well as the charm of Thailand lies in the cheap consumption, indulgence of HAPPY! and the specialty sirens.
Pattaya is a small fishing village, due to the Vietnam War during the U.S. soldiers in order to have fun, built a resort center in this, the achievement of today's Pattaya. Small town is very small, a *** on the three parallel avenues, which is built along the coast of the waterfront boulevard, is the earliest built and is the most beautiful avenue of Pattaya, and then Pattaya 2 Road, there are a lot of open-air bars, recently built Pattaya 3 Road, basically has not yet formed the climate. Pattaya buses are open agricultural vehicles, can carry cargo and people, cargo compartments built two benches, a kind of seat, began to go up to feel full of fresh, sit for a long time to realize that it will be a pain in the neck, because the road is not clean, so the heat plus exhaust dust is also very difficult. However, you can sit for a long time for 20 units.
Pattaya night
Pattaya is sleepy during the day, and only begins to be active at night, and only enters the state of peak at midnight. That's why the streets are so brightly lit in the early hours of the morning, echoing with dynamic MUSIC and the twirling sensuality of hustler girls, and of course more crowded. Promenade on the bar is still a little bit subtle, at least you can find a few Qingba, to the Pattaya 2 Road open-air bar street that can only be described as High, because the bar is open air, so less constraints on the more indulgent, as long as you're high enough to dance on the bar table, as long as you're high enough to do any action is not too much, whistling, screaming, mixing and alcohol is passionate about the Pattaya. Pattaya. Pattaya's adult shows are all over the streets: qigong, montage show, lap dance show, golden cat show, mystery show, Paris GG show 。。。。。。, and the most famous show in Pattaya. In Pattaya, there is also the most famous Oriental Princess, the siren show. Watching sirens is an essential program for every tourist to Thailand, in Bangkok's Grand Theatre to see siren show is far away, in the Oriental Princess is close, as long as you are willing to even zero distance contact, and professional sirens will always keep their charming smile. It is said that the Oriental Princess concentrated in Thailand's most beautiful sirens, and it is true that each one of them is full of flavor, figure and appearance of natural needless to say, and even the skin is smooth and delicate, and talent outstanding song and dance are professional enough. In Thailand, beautiful MM is rare, I remember in Bangkok central shopping when I and my counterpart Lu MM saw the most beautiful shopping mall cashier MM is guessing whether he is a transvestite, do not want to open his mouth, a "can I help you" raspy voice so that we instantly understand. Currently in Thailand, the prevalence of transvestites is the relationship between tourism, but also because the cost of surgery is no longer expensive, and the technology is becoming more and more exquisite, so the manufacture of transvestites is more and more upscale, more glamorous. There is no difference between a siren and a real woman except that they can't have children. Only their average life expectancy is only 40 years old, and it is very difficult to live a life after aging.
The Oriental Princess costs 800 units, 1 hour, with drinks, beer and snacks.
Pattaya's three rent
Ghosts to Pattaya will be three rent: rent a house, rent a car, rent a Thai girl. In Pattaya's streets, it is difficult to see the basic solo ghosts, usually ghosts will pull a black and ugly and old Thai girls, is also a unique scenery in Pattaya, may be afraid of ghosts to rent to the sirens, so they prefer to choose the little black mouse. So there is a white elephant and black mouse match.
Coral Island and Golden Sands Island
Pattaya in the rainy season, there is no blue sky, even if it is hot and sweaty, the sky is always cloudy, the sea water is yellow and unclear, Golden Sands Island, the sand is very white and very fine, but because of too many tourists, the surface of the sea floating in the garbage, to the only beauty is also destroyed. In the coral island to take the glass boat to see the coral, wandering half a day to see only turbid seawater. It is worth mentioning that the island's water sports can go to play, because than the Sanya West Island can be much cheaper, 80 strain can sit on a banana boat, 150 strain can ride a motorboat, 250 strain can sit on the parachute three times。。。。。。
