"A really nice place to shoot timelapses... PATTAYA... this lively destination is located roughly 150 kilometres from Bangkok. Each year millions of visitors enjoy its myriad attractions, and the number keeps growing. Although frequently criticised for its spicy nightlife, it satisfies the needs of leisure travellers in a way that few other destinations can match, anywhere.
Pattaya’s tree-lined main beach extends for roughly 4 kms, commencing at the Amari Orchid Resort (the ’quiet end’) and terminating at South Pattaya ""strip"" in a crowded shopping area which is also home to most of the of the discos, and nightlife. A short taxi ride further south brings you to Jomtien beach, which is longer, less crowded, and a base for many water sports."
