Pattaya, Thailand

First, I would like to point out that this beach was recommended to us by one of Jason's co-workers here in Singapore, who is Asian. We had no idea what this beach was like and had never heard of it until we had already booked our weekend. The Asian culture here is very different from the one back home. Here, the woman don't really have a say in anything and are not regarded by men and sex tourism is not uncommon. Jason's co-worker did not think anything of recommending this beach to us. That being said, we thought we were going to have a nice, relaxing weekend at the beach and had no clue what was in store for us...

Here is the wikipedia definition of Pattaya:
Pattaya (พัทยา) is a popular tourist resort on the North Gulf Coast of Eastern Thailand, located 150 km south-east of Bangkok. Pattaya is most famous for its go-go and beer bars, but local authorities has made efforts to provide more family-friendly attractions and activities, and specialist conference and golfing facilities. Although the sex industry is still going strong and sex tourism remains the key money earner for Pattaya, the resort also attracts local families and holidaymakers from far and wide. If you are going to be offended by the sight of fat old European men hand in hand with young Thai girls (and/or boys), then Pattaya is probably not the place for you.

Now after reading that, I assure you that it was not as bad as I thought it would be. Pattaya remided me of Vegas, minus the casinos. There were many shemales (male prostitutes dressed as woman) who were gorgeous. Jason and I took all this in and just had to laugh.

We stayed in the Hard Rock Hotel and it was very nice. We had a great time! I love the weekends... I get to spend time with my man!

Here are some fun things that we did:
-Taking pictures of the sunset the first night
-Thai foot massage
-I held a lemur!
-Visiting the go-go bars
-Playing games at the pool
-Thai full body massage
-Shopping
-Nice Italian dinner
-And of course spending time with the love of my life

All in all, we had a great weekend! We agreed that we probably would never go back, but it was definitely an experience.
