One of the most popular resorts in Thailand, Pattaya will appeal to both families with small children and lonely tourists looking for entertainment. When night falls on the city, it is not at all necessary to go to the hotel - after all, the most interesting begins on the streets of the resort!
Pattaya's nightlife is varied and amazing. The central quarters are brightly lit, loud, incendiary music is heard from the open doors of various entertainment clubs, half-naked girls are dancing at the entrance to cereal establishments, attracting customers, and a huge crowd of tourists and locals is moving along the streets, choosing a suitable bar, meeting companies of friends who make New acquaintances.
Many tourists walk along Pattaya's main street Walking street, which at night becomes completely pedestrianized, with small children. Babies will not see anything blatantly sexy and depraved on the street, and you can have dinner with them in one of the decent restaurants open until late at night. Delicious seafood dishes and delicious fruit desserts are served here. You can choose sea inhabitants for the future food yourself, for the time being they swim in restaurant aquariums, waiting for their sad fate.
For the relaxed and adventurous traveler, Pattaya offers several activities.
For hot lovers
The transvestite show in Pattaya is a whimsical mixture of the colors and fun of the Brazilian carnival with the traditions of the Parisian cabaret. Places offering their guests transvestite performances are open only in the evening. The most interesting programs are held at Tiffany Show and Alcazar. Artists are only men who move so gracefully and gracefully that at first they can be mistaken for girls. Each show attracts hundreds of fans.
Go-go bars offer more relaxed entertainment for adults. They are a feature of Pattaya's nightlife. These are the same nightclubs with modern music and lighting, where you can enjoy the frank dance of charming girls with a glass of alcoholic drink. You can recognize go-go bars by live advertisements: usually, dancers stand in front of the entrance to such establishments, attracting customers.
In go-go bars, you can not only watch the performers in the company of the same spicy lovers, but also order a private dance. Alone with the dancer for a certain fee, it will be possible to agree on sex.
The most famous go-go bars in Pattaya:
- Boyz Town. Designed for tourists, as the artists here are beautiful young men;
- Jenny Star Bar. Go-go performed by transvestites. It is incorrect to compare such dances with appearances on a transvestite show that do not go beyond the bounds of decency. We are not talking about the beauty and spectacularity of the performance here. Once in this bar, you should pay special attention to your personal belongings, because cases of theft are not uncommon here;
- Peppermint Palace is the most famous establishment of its kind in Pattaya. Sometimes it seems that the whole city gathers here at nightfall. Low prices for cocktails at the bar only contribute to the growth of its popularity.
Places for everyone
In Pattaya, as in other cities in Thailand, there are many nightclubs that are slightly different from traditional European ones. There is no large dance floor where you can relax in the company of the same music lovers in local establishments. The people are entertained by artists participating in various themed shows. The performances are bright and interesting, so Europeans usually accept these innovations with favor. Nightclubs aimed at visitors from Europe are located in the heart of Pattaya nightlife - on the central Walking street. Nightclubs, which Thais are more likely to visit than visitors, are located on parallel streets.
Must-see nightclubs in Pattaya:
- Lucifer. Mainly young people gather here, for which fashionable local DJs play music in the R'n'B style. The prices in the bar are set an order of magnitude higher than in neighboring establishments;
- Tony's Entertainment Complex. A club for wealthy people who are entertained not by “masters of spinning records”, but by professional musicians. The cost of cocktails is off scale, and a large fine is imposed on a bottle of beer brought illegally;
- Club Insomnia is a popular club that features quality music and an inexpensive bar. When most of the area's establishments close until the next evening, Club Insomnia continues to operate. Therefore, tourists prefer to end their day full of events and entertainment here.
Thai boxing as an alternative to clubs
Muay Thai can be called one of the attractions of Thailand without exaggeration. Many tourists are eager to get to competitions in this sport in order to see the other side of Thailand with their own eyes. Real battles take place only in some large Thai cities, in other settlements, which include Pattaya, staged competitions are shown. This means that the blood, pain and blows that cause them are not real here. Actors are involved in the battles who do everything to make the viewer satisfied with the spectacle of the production. Tickets for such shows, which take place at Pattaya's Thaphae Boxing Stadium, are inexpensive and affordable for all tourists.
Staged Muay Thai fights can be recommended to families with children. This is the place where kids can appreciate the beauty of this sport, but not worry about the actors involved in the show.
Pattaya nightlife at the market
Travelers who come to Thailand face a difficult task - how to properly allocate vacation time, so that you can lie down on the beach, see the sights, and buy souvenirs. In Pattaya, this problem is solved by itself. It is recommended to spend the daytime relaxing on the shores of the Gulf of Thailand on the warm sand, and at night go for local fruits and gifts for friends and family. After all, when the sun goes down, the night market begins to work here - the highlight of Pattaya's nightlife.
The market will tell about the life of a single city much more than all the museums and restaurants put together. The market is the heart and pulse of any locality. And Pattaya is no exception!
What is a Thai market? This is a place where you can not only buy products from local craftsmen, but also have a tasty, satisfying and inexpensive dinner. At the Pattaya night market there are many corners where they serve such dishes that Thais prepare not for visiting Europeans, but for themselves. A variety of soups, seafood, fried fish - what is there not! They eat from plastic plates at unassuming tables covered with oilcloth tablecloths. Nevertheless, many tourists come back here again and again because they want to try new dishes.
Once in the ranks where they sell fragrant fruits, it is important not to lose control and not spend all the money on exotic mangosteen, lychee, durians, mangoes, papayas, pineapples and many other fruits that have become almost traditional for us. All of them are cut, cleaned, ready to use and are just waiting for the lucky one who will become their owner. I want to immediately taste these fruits and buy them in reserve. Enterprising merchants immediately offer tourists baskets in which they can transport fruits on the plane. The adjoining aisles sell fruit juices and ice cream. A little further, there are trays with sweets, which you cannot pass by calmly.
Finally, you can go to the rows where they sell souvenirs. A variety of cute knick-knacks, reminiscent of visiting Pattaya, are much cheaper here than in city shopping centers. After buying souvenirs, you can ask the price for clothes. Dresses, scarves, pareos, swimwear, hats, panamas, T-shirts, summer trousers, shorts - tourists don't leave without shopping.
Many travelers would limit themselves to visiting this market only while exploring Pattaya's nightlife. But it only works on Friday and weekends. Therefore, tourists have a chance to visit local restaurants, cozy bars, nightclubs, and Muay Thai fights.
