Where is the fun in Pattaya? Asking where the fun is in Pattaya is like asking where the milk is at a dairy. It’s everywhere you look, flowing like an unlimited stream of cream atop a delicious cake with so many calories that it could make you ill in large amounts but is nonetheless appetizing. Enough of the philosophizing and analogizing!
