Depends where you stay at what you do. There are plenty of things to do outside pattaya but alot of people cant be bothered. Here are a few activities you can do..
go karting
shooting
elephant farm x 2
water park
aquarium
crocodile farm
pattaya extravaganza- massive show with elephants on stage
tiffany show
island trips
night fishing 12 hours 5000 baht
racing motorbike around a track
snake farm
golfing including golf ranges
There are plenty more things...

My friends are still drinking, heavens above are fully staffed still. People are just reducing the music and serving booze in cups. My friend is drinking out of a cup in a bar down walking street as we speak, they tell him 80 baht fine if he gets caught by the police. Anyway I will be going out tonight and I guarentee i will be pissed and laid by the end of tonight. I will go to naklua side if i need to, it tends to have different seasons over there, so it can be busy when pattaya isnt.

But I will hazard a guess that there will be bars open 'somewhere'. Not all of them conform to rules, especially those that are police owned.  |
Yes very true, plenty of places will be open. Pattaya is a shit hole but you need to stay in the right area and do the right things, there are plenty of beautiful places if you drive out 10 minutes, try the dark side, I live in sattahip now and its very beautiful, if i need a lady then i can pop to pattaya to get one. Plenty of nice places are popping up, but you really have to pay for it.

I dont think that is true. This is how i am led to believe, the russians are sold package cheap holidays and they are promised a holiday to the beautiful thailand, they dont have a clue about pattaya. And they are put in three HUGE hotels "ambassador city" on the way to sattahip.. 25 minutes away from pattaya. Then they discover nothing around and make do with pattaya. I see them everyday trying to get home late, poor things.

Try it again, but do a little more research... some guys i know live right in the (best) dirtiest street.. soi 6. Some guys hate pattaya but like to party there, so they stay in jontiem... a family resort IMO and thats 5 minutes away.
I prefer to be in the mountains where it costs me 15,000 a month for a huge house and 2 rai of land.
