"Pattaya is a popular tourist destination in Thailand, so it is important to be aware of the local culture and customs. It is also important to research the cost of living in Pattaya, as it can be quite expensive. Additionally, it is important to be aware of the language barrier, as English is not widely spoken in Pattaya. It is also important to be aware of the climate in Pattaya, as it can be quite hot and humid. Finally, it is important to research the local healthcare system and ensure that you have adequate health insurance coverage," explained one expat living in Pattaya, Thailand.
