Pros and cons

[Dodger]

I have a slightly different opinion regarding several of the "Pros" mentioned in the article:

As far as Pattaya having "Beautiful Scenery". This would only be true if you lived directly on the ocean - everywhere else is a slum.

As far as the authors statement regarding "Exceptional Food" in Pattaya - citing 5 star restaurants. If there's a 3 star restaurant somewhere someone please tell me where to find it. Most of the restaurants in Pattaya are mediocre at best, and that includes Thai restaurants. The only exceptional restaurants IMO are Indian.

I agree pretty much with the rest of the authors "Pros", but would add a few "Cons": High levels of air pollution - polluted water at the beaches - crumbling infrastructure...terrible road conditions...dangerous driving - high noise levels (most areas).

The "Cons" I just mentioned are the reason I chose Bang Saray for retirement over Pattaya.
