Who knows Pattaya, will love it for its universatility. The beaches are long and the sand is fine. The water quality has been better since the construction of sewage treatment plants, but not nearly as good as in southern Thailand.

The metropolitan Pattaya consists of 3 areas, in the north Na Kluea (salt field), in the middle of Pattaya Klang, and in the South Jomtien. In all regions you can use the 10 baht taxi. These taxis run on many small and large roads. Thais use these taxis for short distances. Turns your taxi in another road, press the bell and the driver stops. Walk some steps in your direvtion and take the next taxi. If you want to go to a specaial location, you just say it to the driver. In most cases, this is possible for an extra fee. The more the driver leaves his rout, the more you have to pay for your target.
