[QUOTE=Explorer8939;2931675]If you go to the very earliest pages in this topic, 20 years ago, you will find posts complaining about the state of Pattaya in 2005: "it's not as good as it was in the Old Days".
Pattaya hasn't changed, *you* have changed. The first time you came to Pattaya, you were impressed by the number of young ladies. The next time you came, you were a little pickier. Shampoo, rinse, repeat. And now you are looking for pearls among the swine.
It's basic human nature.
I remember 2004 in Pattaya very well. Lots of overweight ladies with tattoos.[/QUOTE]I have talked to people that have visited Pattay for many years. Soi 7 and soi 8 did not used to be full of 40+ overweight ladies. There used to be more younger talents around the bars. What I saw in those streets and in myth night and tree town was mostly abyssmal. The only reason those areas are operating with that staff is because the infrastructure is there. No one would build up those areas from scratch and staff it with ladies of so low quality. Honestly, I think its almost a sort of parody of a red light area when I see some things there.
I want to point out that not all bars and gogos are like that. There is cuter and younger that you can find. I recomend soi 6. But you should not pay more than 1500 there.
