Information and History

Pattaya in the 1960's

The City of Pattaya is about 150 Kilometers from Bangkok and one hour and a half from Bangkok International Suvarnabhumi Airport.

The 1960s brought changes to the village as American servicemen started coming to Pattaya during the time of the Vietnam War.

The small fishing village rapidly grew a reputation as a City in which you could find anything you were looking for in the way of ‘Rest and Relaxation‘ and one might say in the way of 'Rock and Roll' as well.
