Why I want to go to this place
I just heard about the water splashing festival; Songkran that takes place in Pattaya in April. That looks like fun and those are definately some happy elephants.

Not worth visiting!
A review of this place
It’s crowded and and quite sleazy. But I suppose, worth a stop if you are just going through.
The beach is a mixture of dirt and rubbish with some sand in it, and if you leave one foot on the pavement next to the beach and stretch real hard, you can probably touch the sea!

Introduction to Pattaya
November 20, 2006
The current incarnation of Pattaya claims its founders day as June 29, 1959, when a few truckloads of American troops stationed in nearby Isan arrived, rented houses along the beach, and had such a hoot that they told their friends. Word spread and, over time, the town became the R&R capital for war-weary American troops for the next many years. The legacy of those early visitors is today's adult playground: with hundreds of go-go clubs, beer bars, and massage parlors at beachside. Tourism boomed in the 1980s, and unchecked resort development was not accompanied by infrastructure upgrades such that beaches became veritable toilets of raw sewage. Recent years have seen a few civil projects to clean up the bay with some success, but the beach is not at all pleasant.
