Our first taste of Pattaya

I woke up at what I thought was 1.50pm, I shouted at the girls to wake up, ''we've missed half the day!"...turns out my watch was upside down and it was actually 8.20am, having not gone to bed until after 4, this did not go down to well with the girls!  I was told to shut up and go back to sleep! ...so I did!

We got up about 11 and decided to walk down the road to find some breakfast.  We ended up int he centre of Pattaya, we bought some things to take home, looked in some shops then got some lunch.  We walked down 'Walking street', bought some sun glasses and had a few beers.  Pattaya was a bit of a shock to me, I knew nothing about the place until I googled it just before we arrived.  Every single bar has dozons of girls stood outside toutting for business, most of them are drunk or high on drugs.  If the girls are not in one of the many bars, they are on the arm of a male tourist, on their way to...I guess 'work'.  It was an interesting and eye opening day, we had allot of fun, although I must admit it saddens me to think how these girls have to live.  That night we walked back to the hotel, it was quite a way but it was a nice walk.  The weather was good, much warmer than Vietnam, although not as hot as the Thai islands.
