For anyone planning a quick 2-3 day stopover, watch out, Pattaya has serious gravitational pull bro. I only wanted a short holiday, and now it's been over a week, wild.

Arrived early evening, walked from Beach Road to Soi 7, chilled at a cheap bar with a coffee, freelancer girls walking the street that night, ended up looking for a massage place, erotic massage at a spa that evening was something else. Started as short time, turned into long time, cold AC, dim lights, the mood just shifted, chill but sometimes annoying when someone gets pushy.

For those planning a quick pass-through, consider this: Soi 7 has a decent vibe if you like a tourist crowd, there are gogo bars and late pubs near Walking Street if you want something more intense, bar fines sometimes acceptable and prices fair. I'm still here, having brunch again, maybe extending again... idk anyone else get hit by the "Pattaya effect"?
