THIS IS PATTAYA: PATTAYA, THAILANDbr Many foreigners travel to THAILAND to drink and dance, buy prescription drugs, purchase bootleg brand-name clothing, timepieces, and other personal accessories found globally, and manufactured and hand-crafted local curiosities. Locals and regular tourists avoid hassles by visiting the clubs at WALKING STREET or other areas of the BEACH ROAD without the crowds, heavy marketing, and occasional tourist misbehavior. However, SOI BUAKHAO has been known for its proliferation of nightclub shows, primarily catering to casual tourists. While still a delightful town with an enjoyable atmosphere, some locals and tourists feel it has lost an "anything goes" atmosphere, that was dangerous to locals, tourists, and the tourism industry.
