One hundred and forty seven kilometers southeast of Bangkok is an international cosmopolitian beach resort, Pattya. Tourists from all corners of the the World come here to relax in the beautiful beaches and enjoy the clear blue water. From a sleeping fishing community of 60s, Pattaya has emerged as an international resort often referred to as the 'Thai Riviera'. Here the West meets the East in its true color and character.

Unlike many other beach resorts, Pattya does not go into slumber after the sun sets. Walking street in Pattya is a carnival of shopping, eating, night clubs, a-go-go bars, and discos that become a party zone from 7PM till 2AM when all forms of vehicular trafiic is closed. Though it is called the "Adult Disney Land", children can safely stroll on Walking street because many "adult play grounds" look quite decent from the outside. Besides the bars and discos, the street is packed with jewelry, souvenirs and tailor shops, internet cafes and live music places.
