It then became a hot spot for weekend partying. As can be expected, the word on Pattaya spread and the town saw more arrivals, causing Pattaya to develop a less then acceptable reputation. Tourism started booming in the 1980’s and brought about the fast development of hotels and resorts in Pattaya with an infrastructure that struggled to keep pace. Today hotels in Pattaya hosts some sophisticated 5-star luxury names like the fabulous Centara Grand Mirage Resort Pattaya, as well as a range of affordable bed and breakfasts, backpacker accommodation and just about everything in between. | | |
