I enjoyed pattaya, beers cheaper elsewhere but who gives a shit about that when they're on holiday? If you're on a budget then fine but i pay a hell of a lot more for a beer back home, a hell of a lot more! So i'm really not phased by 20-50 baht more for a chang, especially when the thai brewed chang is so great. The stuff we get in the UK is significantly weaker and nowhere near as tasty.... The beer price doesn't take anything away from the place for me personally. Anyway, we had a great night, our older mate (he's 38) shot off early with a girl who worked in one of the bars, So we carried on without him, I can't remember the name of the club we ended up in after doing the rounds on walking street, it had a neon green sign i think but me and my friend while sitting quietly having a chat at a table were approached by a group of about 6 girls who bought our drinks!! They were carrying some big money and liked to flash it around... this happened to us a few times in various places over the month we were in SE asia. Not entirely sure why, maybe we just got lucky.
Anyway, We bought them a few back out of courtesy but they were pretty insistent on flashing their cash. They claimed they werent working girls.. Apparently they were all on holiday from various parts and had flown in that day... Not sure if i believed them but to be honest i don't particularly care. Anyway. after a good few drinks were had, we took a couple of them back and the rest is history, Neither of us paid for it, everyone was happy. The other girls were staying over the road from us coincidentally. I only spent the one night there before we flew to Laos but i had a good night overall.... I don't see why people have a problem with it?
Overall i liked the place, it's not as Wild as i expected but it's still a good night out, granted we are young lads (ish) at 24 and 27 so we've only got modern day comparisons to go off... I enjoyed the experience anyway. I'd definitely go back for another night!
Oh yeah, there was one place i didnt like, It was a club that was a bit like a shopping mall once you got in, cannot remember the name but there was an escalator up to the entrance... it was pretty rubbish. The other big club is miles better!
