A beach town notorious for ping pong shows, strip clubs and old Western men picking up young, beautiful Thai girls, Pattaya is a lewd, crazy, uncompromising kind of place. I've been going there since I was six so have an odd attachment to the place, which most other travellers don't seem to understand.
The pictures are of a plane sticking out of Ripley's Believe It Or Not Museum, the view from the Bangkok bus, a strip of seedy bars, and a collection of dancing troupe outfits (most likely for the large contingency of ladyboys that reside in this area of Thailand) at the local market.
