  7. Hopf Brew House

    Moodily authentic in dark wood, the Hopf Brew House is a haven for middle-aged beer aficionados and splurging Scandinavian backpackers. A very drinkable pilsener and wheat beer are brewed on site, and both are cheaper before 20:00 when the live music starts. Huge wood-fired pizzas and only slightly smaller schnitzels are recommended to soak up the liquid hospitality.

  9. Tiffany's

    Coming to Pattaya and missing a transvestite cabaret would be like going to Paris and not visiting the Louvre. OK, not really, but these spectacles really are a work of art. The costumes are the definition of glitz and glam, and every feminine nuance has been practised and perfected. Stick around after the show to take photographs with the lovely 'ladies'.
