Western Discotheques
Party animals from all parts of world throng these discotheques. They
could be from Asia, Europe, Middle East or the Americas. Getting
together, these people have great fun in each others' company. They have
cocktails or any neat brand, and then they start dancing on loud music.
Most discos play Western music. However, there are some who play Thai
music.
Thai Discotheques
Many of these discotheques play Thai music and they are preferred by
locals. These decent Thai-influenced discos pump out music early in the
evening, and later on it is showtime. Dancers climb up the stage and
offer the performance. Some of these Thai style discos attract family
tourists too. The atmosphere is relaxed.
Disco
Culture
Disco culture crept into Pattaya during the Vietnam war days when US
marines used to come here for recreation and relaxation. They drank to
their fill and then danced and danced. Many discos have been running
till date from those days. In those days, some of the discotheques had
sunken dance floors but now they have been filled in to levelise.
However, there are many who were fond of old days.
Tightening of Noose
There were times when loud music went on in Pattaya nightlife stops
till sunrise. Bars closed till 3am and then there were rounds of music
and dance. People enjoyed clubbing. However, an order has been imposed
recently which has made shutting down of the discotheques at 1am
mandatory. So fun-making, drinking and dancing people, have to leave the
place now by midnight.
