hi,
just i came from thailand. visited pattaya and bangkok. sharing my experience to be updated all expats-
1. most people like drivers, shopkeepers, bars operator- english is very poor.
2. to buy something u need to bargain lotss
3. food cost is cheaper
4. u should have detailed map before plan your tour
5. both city is really safe and nice
6. actual tourist attraction start from evening actually.
7. overall the pattaya city is awasome where everything is possible.
thanks
