She sells seashells on the sea shore

The photo shows Pattaya beach from my lounge chair. I ordered a bottle of Singha beer and vegged out as usual. If a place has a hot weather, blue sky, good beer, and nice spicy food, that will be my Shangri-la. That's just my two cents, but Pattaya is one of them. Actually, it's a unique place. The beach is juxtaposed to the urban entertainment area; plenty of eateries, bars, banks, hotels, convenient stores, shopping malls and Thai massage centers are just cross the street from the beach. Also, Pattaya is not too far from a big city Bangkok and Swannaphum international airport. That's a good point, so I think Pattaya lives up to the hype.
