A Walk down Walking Street

It is Asia’s very own sin city, it’s an A-rated stay up late kinda movie, its best to leave the kids at home, actually it’s best to visit before you even start thinking about kids, its sex tourism fuelled and propelled by testosterone more than anything else. No points for guessing, nothing is taboo in Pattaya, and I mean nothing. Pattaya tourism has never shyed away from its ‘Adults Only’ tag. The place to be at is simply called Walking Street. During the day, it’s like any other crowded Thai street, vehicles buzzing past either side.

The official closing time in "entertainment zones" is 1 am (in practice usually somewhere between 1 am and 2 am, depending on the location) - however "closing" is defined as switching off the music and non-essential lighting, numerous places remain open 24/7.
