Pattaya Down Under

This week, we’re breaking down Pattaya’s nightlife —because not all bars are created equal. From the laid-back, open-air beer bars where you’ll probably end up playing Connect Four with a stranger, to the hush-hush clubs with their own brand of mischief, we’ve got the inside scoop. We’ll take you through the neon-fueled go-go bars (spoiler: it’s a spectacle), and the nightclubs where the real chaos kicks in once the clock strikes “why am I still awake?” Along the way, we’ll drop tips on bar games, haggling like a pro, and a few eyebrow-raising encounters that you’ll either laugh at—or quietly relate to. It’s equal parts survival guide and comedy show, perfect for first-timers who don’t know where to start, or veterans who think they’ve seen it all. Either way, consider this your roadmap to Pattaya after dark—no judgment, just good stories. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Strap in, because this week we’re dragging you through Pattaya’s wild nightlife scene—no helmet required. From the infamous Soi 6 and its short-time shenanigans, to the neon chaos of Walking Street, and the beer-soaked jungles of Soi Buakhao, Tree Town, and LK Metro, we’ve got stories that range from hilarious to “did that actually happen?” We’ll also peek into the clubs of Soi Boomerang and the Dark Side, where things get… well, let’s just say “interesting.” Along the way, expect tips on bar etiquette, haggling without being ripped off, and how to navigate unexpected encounters (because you will have them). Packed with laughs, personal tales, and more than a few eyebrow-raising moments, this is your guide to surviving—and actually enjoying—Pattaya after dark. Whether you’re a newbie or a night owl pro, this episode will help you party smarter, not harder. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Expect stories of cultural slip-ups, bar etiquette lessons, and even a crash course in the fine art of buying prodection abroad (yes, it’s a thing). Mix in practical tips, personal mishaps, and plenty of laughs, and you’ll have everything you need to avoid rookie mistakes and actually enjoy yourself. Bottom line? Be respectful, be up front… and whatever you do, don’t be a dickhead. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Daytime in Pattaya isn’t just about recovering from the night before (though, yes, that’s an option). In this episode, we dish out the best things to do while the sun’s up—whether you’re flying solo, honeymooning, or wrangling a whole crew of mates. We’re talking scooter adventures, Thai massages that’ll twist you into a pretzel (in the best way), poolside lounging, and slightly less “relaxing” activities like gents club tours, shooting galleries, and go-kart racing. Plus, the must-sees: the jaw-dropping Sanctuary of Truth, botanical gardens, rooftop bars, Tiger Park, floating markets, and a shopping center or two (because you’ll need new flip-flops eventually). Add in plenty of laughs, some questionable travel tips, and a suitcase mix-up story you won’t believe, and you’ve got your ultimate guide to making the most of Pattaya’s daylight hours. Basically—it’s your daytime playbook, with a side of sarcasm. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

This week, we’re pulling back the curtains on where to crash in Pattaya—because let’s be honest, choosing between hotels, villas, and condos can feel like speed dating. They all look good on paper, but once you’re in… well, sometimes the “exterior doesn’t match the interior.” We’ll break down the pros and cons: hotels with their questionable security and “sir, no guests after 10pm” rules, villas that turn into accidental party houses, and condos where you suddenly discover your neighbor has a karaoke addiction. Expect practical tips, cautionary tales, and a few laughs that may or may not involve towel shortages and dodgy décor. Whether it’s your first trip or your fifteenth, this episode will help you find the right spot to sleep, party, or hide from your mates when you’ve had enough. Think of it as TripAdvisor—only with more sarcasm and way better stories. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
