to the extent my opinion matters, i'm leaving (from LA) on the 18th for my 15th trip (i'm ruined), i've been to pattaya at all different times of the year, and its always been pattaya in other words, i now go nowhere else in the world no matter the season enjoy bill and don't forget your atm card; its the best way to get baht

gee, i have a feeling that by the way they have smiled at me as i waited for the elevator, the girls in the first floor massage place would come up stairs if u (choose one) a) were really nice to them or gave them 1,000 baht

your first trip? rather than rush, as another reader suggested, u may actually want to consider spending the first couple nights of your trip in bkk. its a GREAT transition from LA to bkk to pattaya otherwise as long as your hotel KNOWS you're arriving late, everything should be cool as far as a place in pattaya, u might want to consider booking a room for a couple nights (maybe at the marriot) but then exploring to find a new room. soi 13 what with the lek, dynasty, aa residence, sandy spring might be a good place to start (by the way, although it sounds like $$$ may not be an object, all these places are way less than $75 a night) best of luck
