Pattaya information, a little bit of history.
Pattaya information 40 years ago pattaya was just a small fishing village but the 60`s brought about some big changes. As the Vietnam war was taking place American warships came into Pattaya bay and with them came the American soldiers looking for rest and relaxation. And as the servicemen came here so did the Thai girls. So I suppose the basic facts are that Pattaya was founded on sex tourism. Dont know, or not sure of where to stay. Or have you found a gem of a room? Give us a reveiw, share your thoughts and maybe help a newbie in the city. Go to Pattaya hotels and room reveiws 
News quickly spread accross Thailand and Thai girls from all over the country came here to meet the servicemen and the money they had to spend. Most of the girls came from the poor north-east "Isaan" region, often sleeping on the beach waiting for the ships to arrive. And many thai girls in pattaya today still come from that area. In a little over 40 years this small quiet fishing village has changed into a throbbing, headspinning city of a mix of East and West. With everything you could want available.
Pattaya does not have the ancient history of temples and buildings like so many towns and cities in Thailand as it is a "new" city. And it is very accessable from Bangkok which means that many Thais and tourists head here for the weekend. The city of today is packed with beer bars and highly entertaining go go bars and on every street there are massage parlours Accommodations in pattaya range from your basic guesthouses right through to 5 star hotels. Every year more and more families and couples are coming as it is such a great city to visit.
