First Night In Pattaya

First Night In Pattaya
Before go to vacation, you have done everything like online research, book flight and hotel. And now, it’s time to go. After your long flight to Bangkok and then the 1 ½ hour ride to Pattaya what the heck do you do.

Well, maybe you can get some idea at here.

According to the schedule, the flight will arrive at 4 PM. Or you can choose to arrive at midnight. This is a no-brainer. Arriving in Bangkok at 4 PM gets me to Pattaya by 7 PM.

After you have put your package at the hotel, then you ready to hang out. First stop will be to have a beer or two with the owner of the guest house. We will catch up with each other and what has happened over the past few months.

Then it is time to head out. You can prefer the beer bars over the go-go bars, so you will walk down Soi Buakhao, heading north, and either stop for a quick bite with one of the many street vendors, or go straight to the bars. The bars are in a complex called Night Bazaar – right next to a night time shopping area.

If you are still alone, you can go to the bars in the Soi 2 area. There are about 100 bars and you can pick out the best ones.

One more beer bar area to check out on Beach Road called Best Friends. There are about 17 bars. The good thing here is you can sit in one and look over the other 16.

If it is your first trip, all I can recommend is that you don’t fall in love in the first bar you enter. Take your time, relax, and soak in the ambiance. Pace yourself to an extent. You want to have fun, but you don’t want to kill yourself. Keep a cool heart and smile a lot and you will have a great holiday.
