the cityscape of Pattaya Thailand Asia

Pattaya is a city on Thailand's eastern Gulf Coast known for its beaches. Until the 1960s the place was a quiet fishing village, but now it is lined up with large hotels, apartment buildings, shopping centers, bars with cabarets and clubs that are open 24 hours a day. In the nearby Wat Phra Yai temple on a hill there is an 18 m high golden Buddha statue. There are also several golf courses in the area designed by famous architects, some with views of Pattay Bay
