Hi guys

Hope you are all keeping well. Have just had to change my holiday plans for the next 3 weeks - should have been going to Luxor Egypt for 3 weeks on Wednesday - have now booked a flight to Thailand arriving on Thursday. So not much time to organise much or search this site for information. I have 2 questions so far

1 - mobile sim card - payg - can holidaymakers get these and if so how in Pattaya

2 - East Suites - Jomtiem complex - any comments

Thanks in advance

Brian

Any place that sells phones has these sim cards.
Pattaya is dead look elsewhere if you are looking for a good time?

Any 7-11 will have them. Cost you about 50 baht including a few free minutes. I wouldn't add more than 100 baht to that. The shop assistant will activate the number for you, if you take the phone with you.

I haven't been there but it seems like a good location. A short walk to the beach and anywhere along that road is convenient for the baht buses. I should think it'd be a little quieter than staying in Boyztown.

If you have the time and need a phone straight away, there are several phone shops in the BKK terminal.

Thanks guys

Accommodation now sorted - half my stay in VT5 and at the moment the other half at Thai Bali condos

No urgency regarding the SIM - will wait until I get to Pattaya

It's all comparative isn't it.

If your interests are predominantly boys and booze it's still the place to go.

If you want to be more cerebral then other places may appeal more.

I'm sure there are other reasons to go to Thailand but they are eluding me...

I guess you haven't been to Pattaya for awhile. If you live there you need to get out more often.

There is always someone every year trying to give a doom and gloom impression about Pattaya,
but when I arrive I find bars like Nice Boys and a couple others packed.

almost like someone is trying to scare people away
from having a good time.

can't remember if it was always some hydra
with less than 100 posts,
but always claims to "know" it's dead there.

Other than Nice Boys which I agree is busy largely comprised of of old Kaos guys where is it busy?
