New entertainment zone
With the building of the new EasyKart entertainment complex on Thepprasit Road in the heart of Pattaya city, that locality is becoming a key center of fun activities. There are already two huge cabaret theatres, Colisseum and 79, and as well as the neighboring Sanook Park with its aquapark, scuba diving, bungi jumping, paintball and even bubble football amongst other choices. Thepprasit also houses one of the most popular night markets in the resort and is a main artery between Sukhumvit Road and Jomtien.

֍ An 81 year old Thai man lost life savings worth 22 million baht (500,000 pounds) to a scammer who impersonated a police officer accusing the victim of being involved in illegal businesses. So it’s not only farang at risk.
