You are officially not stylish if you live in Pattaya. In fact, that is kind of the point. You come to Pattaya to be relieved of the burden of meeting "the cool people's" expectations. If you moved here thinking it would make you cool, you are delusional. The only people who think you are stylish for living in Pattaya are other people who live in Pattaya. The rest of the world sneers and looks down their noses at us. (Oh sure... some cool people will come here and visit, much the same way that Upper Eastsiders will drive up to Stowe for a weekend of skiing. But they know better than to actually live here.)
You want to be fat and wear neon spandex? Come to Pattaya. You want to wear a torn beer-logo T-shirt? Come to Pattaya. You want to have a sexual relationship with someone young enough to be your grandchild? Come to Pattaya. You want to serve white wine with your overcooked steak? Come to Pattaya. The cool people would punch you in the nose. We in Pattaya welcome all.
We come here to be losers on purpose, and hang out with other losers like ourselves. We're proud that we couldn't cut it among the stylish. We're rogues from proper society. If that stuff mattered to us, we would still be back paying our country club dues, standing in line at the freshest nightspots, reading Gourmet Magazine, and waiting with bated breath for the New York Times book review to come out to confirm that we are thinking and acting and reading within the prescribed style of the day.
Pattaya is the most day-glo plastic, dust-in-the-corners, un-Mozart, un-Tolstoy, un-cool place you can live, and that is why we are here. Trying to put lipstick on your pig of a life by claiming to be stylish makes you a fool. Relax. It's Pattaya. Fun City. The alternative lifestyle Disney World. The most un-stylish place on the planet.
Pattaya
is
the world's
largest
frat house.

hi,
hole up in resort here attending a conference....heheh!!!, went to bob bah be que, the music is good but the dancers appears unmotivated.!!!
any recommendations for shopping place?
Bob's? Dancers? Is that a joke or where you someplace else? Was there internet?
Shopping? Try Singapore.
Wet T-shirt Contest tonight at TQ2. Doors open at 5:30. Last seat is filled at 5:35.
Bob ...is it not at the same place as tahiti queen (TQ2)!!!, the lane where u walk out you see Kilkenny
walk up to starbuck, there have hotspots there, but i'm using the hotel internet here....!!
but the taxi costs me a bomb from my hotel at pra tamnuk road (those converted ford rangers costs me 150 baht one way)
That's about right from there. Take a motorcycle taxi hanging out in front of your hotel out to Thappraya Road... 40 baht should do it... though the motos there are more expensive and might expect 50 or 60 baht. Personally, I think that 150 baht for a private taxi from the hill down into Pattaya is a pretty fair price. A baht bus would cost about 100.
