Well after leaving Cambodia and arriving back in Bangkok we where down to our last three weeks of travelling!We decided that we wanted some sunshine before heading back to the snow, rain and generally miserarble weather that England has to offer so we took a minibus down to Pattaya (3hrs drive).Pattaya is known to be extremely seedy so we went with an open mind but where still a little surprised at how openely older men walk around with young to extremely young w...
