I myself had been to Thailand last month, though my trip was pretty short (Just 7 days). Certainly did not face any problem in Pattaya as well as in Bangkok. I was advised well in advance by my travel agent to avoid certain areas. The Choparaya River Cruise Dinner was really great, and will be memorable for the lifetime.
Is it Safe?
