Pattaya, a small fishermen¡¯s village in the 1960s has evolved into a tourist magnet in the Asia; thanks to its beautiful crescent shape beach. Pattaya is a 3-star beach with all amenities and activities available at a beautiful beach. However, it never managed to attain a 5-star due to the lack of investment in waste management though the city heavily invested into infrastructure development.
