Pattaya - World's Biggest Adult Playground

Pattaya for Single Guys: Welcome to the Thunderdome

So you’re a single dude thinking about Pattaya. Congratulations, you’ve just unlocked "Easy Mode" for nightlife, questionable life choices, and stories you’ll either brag about or take to your grave. This city is like if Vegas and a frat house had a baby, then gave that baby Red Bull and a motorbike.  

Why Pattaya? (Besides the Obvious)

Look, we all know why Pattaya exists, but there’s more to it than just… that. Sure, it’s the world’s biggest adult playground, but it’s also cheap, wild, and completely judgment-free (because everyone here is too busy making their own bad decisions).  


How to Get There

In Style: Taxi from the airport straight to Pattaya. This is the most popular way for players and horny returnees who can't get there fast enough. Financial damage: around 1,500 to 2,000 baht.

By Bus: Either straight from Suvarnabhumi airport or from Ekkamai Bus Station. Very affordable at around 200 baht. Shared minivans also available (at a multiple of the fare).


Where to Stay (Based on Your Level of Shamelessness)

Budget (500-1,000 THB/night) – Soi Buakhao guesthouses, for instance. Basic, sticky-floored, and walking distance from all the places your mom warned you about.  

Mid-Range (1,000-3,000 THB/night) – Hotels near Walking Street or LK Metro. Pools, decent Wi-Fi, and just far enough that you might sleep sometimes.  

Baller Status (3,000+ THB/night) – Hilton, Hard Rock, or one of those fancy beachfront places where you can pretend you’re classy before descending into madness and decadence at night.  


The Daytime "Recovery" Activities (LOL)  

You will need breaks between nights of poor decision-making. Here’s how to pretend you’re a respectable human:  

- Muay Thai at Max Gym – Punch things legally before you do something stupid later.  

- Jet Ski Scams on Beach Road – Not an activity, more of a rite of passage. You will get overcharged and possibly scammed. Accept it.  

- Temples (For the Ironic Instagram Pic) – Sanctuary of Truth or Big Buddha Hill. Great for pretending this isn’t just a booze-and-sin trip.  

- Golf (If You’re That Kind of Basic) – Pattaya has stupidly cheap golf courses. Bring sunscreen and a hangover.  


The Nighttime Agenda (The Real Reason You’re Here)

- Walking Street – The main event. Neon lights, Isaan single moms, ladyboys, and enough alcohol to kill a horse. Pro tip: Pace yourself or you’ll wake up with a tattoo you don’t remember getting.  

- Soi 6 (The "Short-Time" Street) – Look, we’re not judging. Just know what you’re getting into.  

- LK Metro – Slightly less chaotic than Walking Street, with more beer bars and fewer tourists in denial.  

- Insomnia Nightclub – Where Russians, Europeans, and guys who’ve had just enough vodka try (and fail) to dance.  

- Go-go bars - Where chrome poles are the main accessory, ladies wear numbers and company is paid for by lady drinks.


The Rules (Unless You Want a Disaster Story)

1. Cash Only – ATMs charge insane fees, and you don’t want your bank calling you about "suspicious activity" (i.e., 3 AM bar fines).  

2. No Motorbikes After Dark – Unless you enjoy hospitals.  

3. The 3-Second Rule – If a girl approaches you unprompted, assume it’s a business transaction.  

4. Ladyboys Are Everywhere – Check before you get emotional.  

5. Hydrate or Die – Changover is real.  


Final Verdict 

Pattaya is the closest thing to The Purge but with more neon and less murder. You’ll have the time of your life, make terrible choices, and probably come home with at least one regret (and possibly an STI test). But hey, that’s why you’re going, right?  

Now get out there, embrace the chaos, and may your liver forgive you.
