Pattaya

Pattaya (Thai พัทยา Phattaya) is a city of 95,000 registered inhabitants (2004) in Thailand, located on the east coast of the Gulf of Thailand, about 165 km southeast of Bangkok in the province of Chonburi. The real population of Pattaya is about 500,000: the discrepancy to the official figures result from the complicated registration procedure, most Thais remain registered in their hometown, even if they relocate. It is one of the biggest centers of tourism in Thailand, with some 1.5 million visitors in 2003.
