We have all heard of Bachelor trips to Pattaya and most of them rave about the exceptional nightlife the city has to offer. So here I am experiencing my many first in Pattaya.


From a sea walk to bar hopping, swimming in turquoise waters to collecting sea shells, to see all that Pattaya has to offer with my parents. Yes, to see your parents astound faces and have something to laugh about is the best!

4. Shop a lot-

5. Avoid the tourist spots-

Now, Pattaya has some touristy spots that didn't excite me much. Like, underwater world, the Gems Discovery gallery. Instead you can choose to go to a Cabaret show, Zipline tour and sanctuary of truth or just interact with the locals. Beware of
