Podcasts about Pattaya

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

From respecting Thai culture and getting local customs right, to figuring out bar buses, packing light, and haggling without being that guy, it's all here. 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

Join your hosts Alex and Mike for a deep dive into one of Thailand's most persistent, yet often overlooked, challenges: the flash floods in Pattaya. On this episode of All About Thailand, we move past the vibrant beaches and famous nightlife to examine the intense monsoon downpours that routinely turn city streets into canals.

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.
