There are many different faces to Pattaya and these pictures reveal some of them. By day and night, Pattaya presents some fascinating pictures of life in Thailand, although this city has its own unique atmosphere, where tourism, entertainment and local life blend in a curious mix.
We’ve assembled an assortment of pictures from Pattaya to help you better understand the city, its attractions, and its character.

Taking pictures in Pattaya
Get your digital cameras ready, there are always plenty of great pictures to capture in Pattaya. Whether you are out at night among all the neon lights and friendly people, or wandering about the suburbs and coastal areas by day, you’ll discover unique sites worth snapping.
It’s polite to ask first before photographing people, but usually they don’t mind. Bar girls might, however, take exception to you blatantly photographing them, unless you make a fun event of it and get yourself included in the pic!
Numerous internet cafes are dotted about the city, where you can download your Pattaya pictures from your memory card. There are also plenty of photographic shops and even convenience stores should you need batteries or accessories.
Respect should be shown when taking pictures of Buddhist structures - avoid standing on walls or parts of sanctified structures, and dress respectfully when entering temples.
