Pattaya
is a coastal town on the east coast of the Gulf of Thailand, just two
hour’s drive (130km) from Bangkok in the province of Chonburi. The
city and beach is a popular destination for tourists, Thais and
foreign expatriates alike.
Due to
the city’s proximity to the capital it is fast becoming Thailand’s
second city. Many foreign businesses have their Asian headquarters
there. This is especially true for western businesses. It is
obviously much easier to accommodate a western businessman in a city
like Pattaya rather than somewhere in the middle of Isaan, for
example.
