Thanks Guys for all the feedback!
You guys kick ass!
Appreciate the feedback and because of it, I'm absolutely adding a trip to Bangkok, instead of doing all 3 weeks in Pattaya. It's just a matter of whether to do it at the beginning, at the end, or somewhere in the middle (I see benefits in each scenario) , but the bottom line is that I will go there as well.
Also great to hear that I did pick a good area (soi LK Metro) and that it is walking distance to Walking street. If by myself, I plan to walk the route. If I pick up a young lady from that area, I'll take transportation.
P. S. Great point mentioning that just because I don't drink, it doesn't mean that I shouldn't hang at the beer bar. I'm sure I'm not the first person to drink orange juice at a beer bar. Sometimes my brain cells just don't function well. LOL.
Again thanks, it helped a lot and yes, this rookie will be writing a full report once I return.
