Pattaya
a City Paradise by the Sea
The Vietnam War and its warriors
made Pattaya a well known recreational center, especially among American
Gl.'s. From the beginning in 1959 with a small private bungalow where
American officers on leave took turn to and rest, this sleepy village by
the sea has grown and changed dramatically into the world hot spot. In
1978 Muang Pattaya was thus incorporated as the city manager. There are
many beautiful beaches such as Hat Wong Phra Chan, Hat Chom Thian, and
North Pattaya Beach. |
