Newbie Guide to Pattaya

Welcome to The Newbie Guide to Pattaya, your free guide to your first visit to Pattaya. It has been designed with the Pattaya newbie in mind. I hope it will become a useful resource to those preparing for their first visit to the city.

Pattaya is located in Thailand approximately 150km south east of Bangkok and is sometimes known as Pattaya Beach. Some people think of Pattaya as Walking Street, which is a well known area in Pattaya, but there is a lot more to Pattaya. The nightlife is quite diverse from open-air bars to gogo bars and all sots of variations. There is no doubt that there is a bar or two for you in the city. If you have never been to Thailand you are in for a treat that you will never forget.

Please feel free to look through the site. If you have any suggestions please see the contacts page.

To navigate the site you can use the Quick Links menu on the left or go through sequentially using the next button at the bottom of each page.

If you wish to return to a page later you can use the bookmark function at the bottom of each page. Unfortunately this function does not work in Firefox. If a yellow bar appears in your browser window you will need to allow the scrip to run and click the link again.

This is a new site and there will be more material added and present information is continually improving. If you find anything you do not understand or have any other comments about the website please leave a message on the guestbook. You can find a link to the guestbook on the menu bar above.

Be warned that you may be starting a life changing journey. You may not understand this until after your first trip to Pattaya.

NOTE: people have asked if a printable version of the guide was available. I understand that a printed version of the guide would be useful on a first trip to Pattaya. I will soon make an ebook available for a small fee. If you would like to be notified when it is available please email me here.
