The ladyboys in Pattaya make up the highest concentration of Thai ladyboys in the country. Yes, even possibly on par with Bangkok.
Just like most of the girls in Phuket, they come to this beach town Thailand in hopes of finding some role in the huge tourism industry in Pattaya that continue to grow.
Simply put, Pattaya has LOTS of ladyboys, especially in the areas that I will mention below.
If you have already been to this city, then you may already know how common they are. Even something as simple as walking on beach road in the evenings will give you a good idea of what to expect.
Pattaya is similar to Patong, as both places have that beach-town vibe going on. However, Patong is much smaller, and has a nicer beach. Pattaya is also known to be less expensive, and with more bars and venues.
These are places you can meet ladyboys:
Ladyboy Go Go Bars
The go-go bars in Pattaya are an excellent way to meet some of the hottest ladyboys in this city.
These places usually employ the best looking girls, so the standards are somewhat better than the beer bars.
The ladyboys that work in the go-go bars tend to be younger in age, and are highly sought after by the male tourists in pattaya. That being said, you can expect to pay higher prices for ladydrinks, and bar fines (in order to take them back to your guest friendly hotel)
The great thing is that Pattaya has a few areas dedicated for these purposes. Here are some places for you to see:

Final Thoughts on Ladyboys in Pattaya
Wow, were to begin. I mean, Pattaya is really in a class of its own when it comes to naughty fun times in Thailand. This city is the place to be if you want it all.
Pattaya has a beach, and although it may not be spotless clean, it still ads to ambience of the place.
Prices are decent, as long as you don’t go over-board with your spending at the expensive go go bars on Walking Street. There are plenty of good deals on hotels, and the food is also relatively cheap. I would say the pricing here is somewhere between Chiang Mai and Phuket. And of course, the ladyboys in Pattaya are abundant, and man of them are attractive.
