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!

I understand that they have a extra layer of evidence to confirm their investigation. I'm not sure how useful this is if the suspect denies involvement, but if they do admit guilt then showing how the crime was committed may well mean that the right person is prosecuted. Having said that, it does seem an odd procedure, certainly compared to how these crimes are investigated in other countries.
