DALL-E has placed me in a futuristic Blade Runner-style universe 😀

I have a few old Pattaya freebie maps in the drawer of my spare bedroom...... nostalgia. Some great GGBs on that one in the OP, my all time favourite Crazy House, but oh so many other good places.

I agree with SB use the map as a geographical guide and ignore the bar info. Mike Baird has produced some more recent maps including Soi Chayapoon and, possibly, Soi Honey but even these are probably out of date as far as bars are concerned. Try searching, Mike Baird Pattaya Cartoonist, if you want to find some more of his maps. Once you get here you will probably find that the basic map of the tourist area of Pattaya is all you need to navigate the city. There is a lot of information from individual bars on Facebook and other social media sites.

While much appreciated at its time the map is way out of date and unhelpful except in a geographical sense. Perhaps not even that ,LK is tiny and Soi Boomerang isnt listed. Dont look for the couples bar "Secrets". BM forcebwithu updates an excellent GC map but perhaps not what you are looking for. Im sure you will get a lot of good response if you list what you would like as you did looking for certain music. Im a complete nutcase , meticulous planner but in my initial visits i quickly understood the still valid advice. "Dont make plans in Thailand".

Hi, I found this really good map but it's not recent. I wondered if anyone knew of any similar which is updated. It seems like a helpful picture to have on our phones xx

From last night, a few snaps of the night time action around the mookata, food and market places next to Nirun. And around the corner the GC's Sign shop on 3rd Rd

Yet again another "Tour de Farce". Arrived on my phone at breakfast time and was a better read than my morning newspaper. Thanks as usual. Sent from my CPH1941 using Tapatalk

Picking up on SB's mention of wine\fruit wine blends, these are very common at the cheaper end. The most commonly seen brand in the beer bars is probably Mont Clair, it generally comes in boxes, and expect to pay around the 150 mark baht for a reasonable measure. Unfortunately I would not recommend it, especially the white, however, you might want to try a glass if there is no alternative. Some restaurants might have a decent, reasonably priced, house wine but it can be hit or miss. If you want to buy something for the room Wine Connection may have some reasonable deals. Villa Market

Similar in style to Las Vegas Bar is the new Space of Billabong (map link). Mentioned in another post were the music bars in Tree Town. Be aware that while the bands at the back may be good, they ruin it for themselves by competing for customers based on volume. What you end up with is a mishmash of noise assaulting your ears no matter which bar you choose to sit in.

Use to be my favorite until moving here and finding its poor quality or overly expensive. For 6 nights here you would do well at Villa Market. You can view the selection and prices on their website but they are no longer allowed to deliver. They are located at the Avenue on 2cd road along with the "Wine connection". 7/11 has Barefoot and Woodbridge. Restaurants and clubs are hit/miss. It depends on how its stored and how much they sell. I like Beer Bars but the wine may set in the open in the heat for a week. I recently spent 3k on a bottle of Chateauneuf du Pape at the excellent Le Bouch

It sought planning permission in 2008, construction was halted in July 2014. Since then it has been a monument to how corruption is here. Not quite the appeal of say Edinburgh Castle is it?

Bali Hai disgrace! When was this dreadful building erected? My oldest picture is from 2014 and I remember there was a time when the disaster didn't kill the view. Tear it down.

Thanks for the laughs. Looked this one up "Speaking of which, where else in the world would a construction company build a new road and leave an existing electricity pole standing slap bang in the middle of one of the carriageways. Well, it’s there to be seen in Najomtien, where this road is actually now in use. This one you really couldn’t make up." and sure enough, not that I doubted you... Construction cockup leaves utility pole in the middle of Najomtien road

Hi, I've heard that wine is a bit expensive out in Thailand. We are in Pattaya for 6 nights, and I only drink white wine. Where can you get a few bottles from at a decent price - 7/11 stores, or any other recommendations? What kind of price will it be for a glass of house white in the bars/clubs/restaurants please. Thank you x

The Las Vegas bar looks ideal - good size, bands on, and my partner loves Vegas so win win haha x Thanks for all the tips everyone 🙂

There are badges?

Las Vegas Beer Garden?

Excellent. As always. 🙏

Greetings Monkeywatchers, showaddy crap for taking a gander, and welcome to another sneaky peek at what’s transpired, inspired and expired in the last month. Chocks away. The Thai Navy are to create something they call an ‘underwater learning park’ by sinking some of their old ships. They should take some advice from the Koh Larn ferry as they’ve managed to sink more boats than just about anybody else. Experts have advised that the chances of another coup in Thailand are very slim, though if you had the gun barrel of a tank sticking through your front window you’d probably come to

Treetown on soi Buakhau has several bars with bands that play all sorts of music, most bands are happy to play requests (drop some baht in the tipjar) The new Beerbar place on soi Diana had a good band, I don't know the name sorry, its next to Area 51

Really appreciate all the suggestions - Im sure we will have fun checking all the streets out and just finding places that we enjoy. Looking forward to seeing it all, but always good to have a few ideas of places before we arrive. Pattaya Beer Garden seems like a good option? Any more suggestions welcome. x

In the Scooter bars (Soi LK Metro and Soi Buakhao) they play a lot of old mod music - including Motown.
