Pattaya Information

[tangent 42]

Have found some great web sites and the board here has been a great help.    Everyone has been so friendly and answered allot of questions for me already.

 

 Just wondering if anyone have the name of some books on Pattaya and Thailand?

As for general Thailand information i have found...

 

"Lonely Planet" : Guide to Thailand. by Joe Cummings and Steven Martin. 9th Edition Published in July 2001. It was very helpful. It'll give you general information about Thailand and its culture. But expect some of the information in it to be a little outdated and some of the prices will have changed as well. Expect that of any book.

 

As for info about Thailand, with an emphasis on the nightlife in Pattaya, i have read...

 

"Money Number One" : The Single Man's Survival Guide to Pattaya. by Neil Hutchison. this book will tell you all about when to come, how to get there, places to stay, safety, money, food, medical facilities, gogo bars, beer bars, massage parlors, freelancers, and the thai experience.

 

"Pattaya" : Patpong on Steroids. by Duncan Stern. covers much of the same but written with first hand knowledge of everything in the book. An interesting read while on the flight over to Thailand.

 

I know many posters here have read these books and can comment on them and whether they liked em or not.

 

 

 

9 days till I return to Pattaya.

Thanks,  I had already gotten the Lonely Planet and I have to agree allot of great information.  

I went on line today and ordered both books you talked about.  They look like they will be a good read.

If you want to get a feel for what goes on behind the nightlife scene, I would recommend the two books by J. F Gump.  They are "Tippawan - The Joy of Math" and ""Tropical Heat - Thailand Aftermath".  They are a good read and it kind of sets the scene for your visit and interaction with the girls.
