Quick question for the Pattaya regulars — has anything changed in the last few months?
I was there 6 months ago and had a great time but I've heard new venues have opened.
Worth going back or should I try somewhere new?
Cheers

Adding my experience from 3 weeks ago.
The scene has changed a bit since pre-COVID. Biggest change: more competition.

Any restaurant recs for the daytime?

This is outdated info IMO. Things have changed since last year. Current prices are about the same than what's described here.

With respect, my experience was more mixed. But maybe I went at the wrong time.

Interesting take but I think you overpaid. Try negotiating next time.

Adding my experience from February.
The scene has improved since pre-COVID. Biggest change: prices up 20%.

Good info. I'd add that going during the week is much better — less crowded, better prices.
