Have you ever even been to Thailand? Are you one of those guys that spends your whole vacation on walking street and eating at McD?

If you don't eat street food in Thailand you don't know what you're missing. I have never had a problem with street food in Thailand. I know lots of people who have never had problems. I have had a couple problems with nice restaurants in Thailand but still very rare.

Dioralyte and Imodium are the same thing. Loperamide. Even if you're sick you can still go out and get bottled water. You make it sound like you need to be prepared for a nuclear winter or something. Seems a bit extreme to me. If you ever get that sick where you can't even get out to get bottled water then you need to go to the hospital. I know lots of people who eat street food and are ok. I also know lots of people who stuck with nice restaurants and supermarkets and got sick. You can never guarantee you won't get sick no matter what you do. Definitely always carry loperamide

AC was always a total shithole. The food has always sucked. The trikes and all that other stuff was always like that. I don't think it has gone downhill. Just more of the same. Prices are up everywhere. Doesn't matter if you are talking AC or Pattaya. Pattaya is 10x better than AC in every way except for the girls. Philippino girls are better because of the more similar culture and the fact most can speak ok english. However, the fact there are so many girls and options for finding them in Pattaya makes up for it. Opinions will vary but those high priced hookers on wanker street ar

80-90% are 6's at best. You can't ignore them if that's all there is. Unless you just ignore beer bars all together which is what most guys who want decent looking girls do.

There are decent beaches around Pattaya. None of them are IN Pattaya From best to worst: Koh Larn (very nice, not as good as Phuket but still very nice), Back side beaches facing away from Pattaya are the best, take Twaen Beach Ferry (about 30baht and 45minutes ) Koh Larn, Front side facing Pattaya, take Naban Ferry (about 30baht and 35minutes), There is a 7/11 right at the dock and the main town with restaurants, guest houses etc. The nearest beach (I think) is also my favorite on the island. Naul (Monkey) beach. Feels secluded, lots of coconut trees, semi wild monkeys in tre
