The seedy side of Pattaya

We all know that Thailand is what must be the sex capitol of the world, but Pattaya takes it to a whole new level. The place is full of middle aged men, mainly from Australia and the UK. This is weird as its also full of Russian couples and families from everywhere just on a holiday.

Beach side bars at night

You see some men who really are questionable…. in the morning you will walk along the beach and notice that the bars are already pretty full of single men waiting for the girls to turn up to work, its 9am and they have their first beer in hand. You also see a lot of men in wheelchairs and disabled men (ie on crutches minus limbs) getting their sexual needs satisfied. Thats something I have never seen before…

Another thing which is strange is how the sex industry is there, its openly there and available, but they aren’t in your face and harassing you . The girls stand quietly along the beach at night, and the bars are just full of happy drinkers… what is sad the number of old men who obviously have wives and kids at home as you can see most all have wedding rings on.
