Pattaya has all the above and more.
It's also very easy to avoid the fleshpots of Buakhow,soi 6 and walking Street if you're
not interested in that kind of thing.
Bangkokians won't be hassled on beach road by the girls and ladyboys, they know
their customers.
There are plenty of sleazy places in Bangkok and they are somehow capable of
avoiding these too.
I think the easy access to Pattaya is a big reason why it will remain a draw for people
from the capital.
I'm not knocking HH it is a nice town, I have seen some YouTube videos of some of
the beachfront condos and the asking prices were eye watering!
Also I saw a video of ordinary looking pot plants (not the wacky type!) with an asking
price of 2 million baht, so it appears some people have plenty of cash to spend!
