Pattaya for New Years!

Since we'd already done the trip to the islands we decided to hit Pattaya for New Years.

We're staying in the South near the beach and it's absolutely bustling with activity. Last night we decided to explore the beach-front market. Though some prices are horribly inflated there are also some really good deals to be found.

At first my claustrophobia was acting up horribly as the streets are absolutely packed. At night everywhere you look you will see fat russian tourists and Thai hookers. During the day, however, it's actually quite pleasant. The town is absolutely dead til about 11am when people start to trickle out onto the streets.

Today is an absolute scorcher so we are currently sitting on the covered deck of Mulligans (an Irish pub) having their All Day Fry-up. A word to the wise: don't bother. The breakfast was horrible. My cappuccino was pretty good though.
