Ride a bike in Pattaya or taxi everywhere?

I hear you.  Yes, if you wish to  bop around Pattaya there is no easier way to get places and park.

I saw this posted elsewhere and found it ironically apt and amusing.....Chiangmai yes... but one sees the mentality. The 'range of responsibility' theory looks solid!

[up to me]

The baht bus is the greatest transportation system ever invented.  Plan is to settle down in Jomtien though, so two issues come to mind: they don't (usually) go down all the way to the seafood places and it's even harder coming back, and if you do go into Pattaya you have to negotiate that intersection on foot to get on the Jomtien-bound buses and I've had issues with that in the past.

Otherwise, perfect.

Plan is Big-C delivery for most stuff, Lazada for the electronics and 7-11/night market for everything else.

More than enough nightlife for me in those sois.  Well, at least there used to be.

If you mean the Second Road/Pattaya Tai intersection. it's much worse now with the construction going on there.
