Quick question for the Pattaya regulars — has anything changed in the last few months?
I was there in 2024 and had a great time but I've heard some crackdowns happened.
Worth going back or should I try somewhere new?
Cheers

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

Been going for years. The scene has shifted a bit but still good.

Adding my experience from February.
The scene has stayed the same since pre-COVID. Biggest change: more online activity.

This is outdated info IMO. Things have changed since the new laws came in. Current prices are actually lower than what's described here.

Spot on with the prices. That matches what I paid in February.

I'd rate it similarly. Solid 8/10 destination.
