I give 5 stars because it's nice to walk along the beach in the evening. But don't swim in the city in such conditions. There is little engine oil, dirt, etc. It's better to go to the island of Bath for 30-50. And in the city there are only walks on the beach)
It's dirty, the car smells like oil, and there are a lot of boats nearby. It's beautiful in the evening. It's better to drive a little further to Wong Amat, where it's clean.
2*, not 1*, as there is always worse) you can lie down on the beach, like, they clean up. But because the sea is the dirtiest, only drinkers sit there. No one gets tanned.
I'm not sure what the best place to swim is, where the choicest workers stand from evening to morning. You may have to collect contraceptives and so on on the beach as a surprise.
Of course, the beach is not a beach in our understanding. There is a road nearby, it is dirty. In Pattaya, very few people swim in the sea. If you only go to the islands or beaches outside the city.
