Been thinking about visiting Pattaya and wanted to get the latest intel from those who've been recently.
Specifically interested in:
1. Current price ranges
2. Best areas to base yourself
3. Any safety concerns
4. How's the quality compared to Thailand?
Any recent trip reports would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

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

I'd also recommend downloading Maps.me before you go. Essential.

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

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

Adding my experience from last month.
The scene has improved since pre-COVID. Biggest change: more competition.

Hmm, I had a different experience. Prices were higher when I went. Maybe timing matters.
