在泰國(guó)東部海岸線上,從湄南河口沿著海邊延伸至500公里外的柬泰邊界的海岸線上點(diǎn)綴著大小不一的度假區(qū),其中最著名的要數(shù)芭提雅了。 　　曾經(jīng)的芭提雅是一座不起眼的小漁村。20世紀(jì)60年代,連綿松軟的海灘、晶瑩翠綠的海水、新鮮可口的海鮮、傍海而建的漁屋把從越南戰(zhàn)場(chǎng)撤回的美國(guó)兵折服。美軍在此修建了度假中心,從此,便成就了芭堤雅這個(gè)海灣的繁花似錦、無限魅力。
　　芭提雅的海灣,是一望無際、清澈的散發(fā)著寶石藍(lán)光芒的海。滾滾藍(lán)色盡處彩霞萬道,岸邊的椰樹搖曳,棟棟西洋、泰式建筑掩映其間,一塵不染。微微帶咸的海風(fēng)柔柔地?fù)崮χ��?海水輕輕地、輕輕地沖上沙灘上又退去�？粗�眼前博大的海,聽著悅耳的濤聲,李商隱的一句詩“曾經(jīng)滄海難為水,除卻巫山不是云”便自然而然涌上心頭。
　　芭提雅明媚動(dòng)人的海灘風(fēng)光,使它享有東方夏威夷的稱號(hào)。
　　大自然給芭提雅鋪上潔白柔軟的沙灘,萬頃碧波,遠(yuǎn)處小島隱約可見。距離曼谷2個(gè)小時(shí)車程的這個(gè)旅游勝地以它的水上運(yùn)動(dòng)及娛樂場(chǎng)所而聞名于世。
　　芭提雅海灘提供豐富多彩的海上活動(dòng),若你熱愛海上運(yùn)動(dòng),那你肯定會(huì)愛上這里的海島尋幽探密之旅。而愛好冒險(xiǎn)的朋友們,不妨試試蹦級(jí)跳。假如你又不愛探險(xiǎn)式的活動(dòng),何不來一場(chǎng)高爾夫球呢?這里有多座設(shè)有18洞、72桿的高爾夫球場(chǎng)。每當(dāng)夜幕降臨,大街小巷的商店,攤檔陳列著泰國(guó)的手工藝品及各種舶來品,供游客選購。
　　毫無疑問,這里的中天海灘是這里首屈一指的景觀。它全長(zhǎng)6公里,不但水清沙幼,四周環(huán)境也極美。悠閑地坐在海灘上,看著漁船在波光下浮動(dòng),或在附近一帶水準(zhǔn)極高的餐廳,一面用餐,一面欣賞海上的日落景致,實(shí)在是人生一大快事。水上活動(dòng)方面,這里也樣樣俱備,游客可以玩風(fēng)帆、水上摩托車、拖曳傘、滑浪、游泳或享受日光浴,最適合一家大小前往。
　　在芭提雅,得要抓緊機(jī)會(huì)進(jìn)行潛水活動(dòng),欣賞這里奇異多彩的海底世界。聽說泰國(guó)各地的潛水活動(dòng),皆起源于這里的Koh Larn。在這里各個(gè)珊瑚島中,最大及最容易前往的是Loh Larn。它以漂亮的珊瑚礁而聞名于世,加上豐富的海產(chǎn),吸引無數(shù)美食愛好者慕名而來。芭達(dá)雅海灘有前往Loh Larn的小船出租,往來時(shí)間只須半個(gè)至一個(gè)小時(shí),島上也有旅館可供住宿。你也可以租用潛水儀器或玻璃底船,觀看海底奇形怪狀的珊瑚奇景及穿梭于五光十色熱帶魚之中。
　　位于Koh Larn以東,相距15公里。進(jìn)入東芭樂園大門,兩邊都是人工湖泊,中間有小橋拱跨其上,湖中有小島和浮臺(tái),可供泛舟游弋。每天上午九時(shí)和下午三點(diǎn)半各有一場(chǎng)民族歌舞節(jié)目,在游客多時(shí)加演到上午和下午各兩場(chǎng)。每場(chǎng)表演向游客介紹了泰國(guó)的文化和風(fēng)土人情。諸如泰國(guó)的婚禮儀式、泰國(guó)男子出家當(dāng)和尚的儀式。
　　這里以北部一座叢林密布的山,名叫大佛山。沿著山路走到最高處,你會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)一座大佛像。它的存在推翻了人們普遍認(rèn)為芭提雅缺乏宗教風(fēng)氣的錯(cuò)誤觀念。大佛像被很多小佛像包圍著,它們的形狀,跟東南亞其他地區(qū)的佛像差不多。人們?yōu)榱似砬蠛眠\(yùn),往往會(huì)挑選特別的日子才來參拜。在這個(gè)小山上,你可以盡情飽覽美麗、寧靜及祥和的風(fēng)景。
　　白天的芭提雅是沉睡的,入夜才開始活躍起來,到了午夜才進(jìn)入狀態(tài)、進(jìn)入高峰。所以凌晨的時(shí)候大街上才是燈火輝煌,處處回蕩著動(dòng)感十足的音樂,以及拉客妹們扭動(dòng)的性感,當(dāng)然更是人流不息。
　　海濱大道上的酒吧還稍微有一點(diǎn)點(diǎn)含蓄,至少還可以找到幾個(gè)酒吧,到了芭提雅2路的露天酒吧街那就只能用High來形容,因?yàn)榫瓢墒锹短斓?所以少了約束就更放縱。只要你夠High可以跳舞跳上吧臺(tái),只要你夠High做任何動(dòng)作也不過分�？谏诼�,尖叫聲,混和著酒精便是激情的芭提雅。芭提雅的成人秀遍布大街小巷:氣功、蒙喳喳秀、艷舞秀、金絲貓秀、神秘秀⋯⋯
　　在芭提雅還有最著名的東方公主號(hào)人妖表演。看人妖是每個(gè)到泰國(guó)的游客必不可少的節(jié)目,在曼谷的大劇院看人妖表演是遠(yuǎn)距離的,在東方公主號(hào)卻是近距離的,只要你愿意甚至就可以零距離接觸,而職業(yè)化的人妖將始終保持他們嫵媚的微笑。而東方公主號(hào)集中了泰國(guó)最漂亮的人妖,身材相貌自然不用說,甚至皮膚都光滑細(xì)膩,而且才藝出眾、勁歌辣舞都?jí)驅(qū)�業(yè)。
　　
　　The “Oriental Hawaii” Pattaya
　　Pattaya is a city in Thailand, on the east coast of the Gulf of Thailand, about 165 km southeast of Bangkok located within but not part of Amphoe Bang Lamung (Banglamung) in the province of Chonburi.
　　The city of Pattaya is a self governing municipal area which covers the whole tambon of Nong Prue (Nongprue) and Na Kluea (Naklua) and parts of Huai Yai and Nong Pla Lai. It is located in the heavily industrial Eastern Seaboard zone, along with Si Racha (Sri Racha), Laem Chabang, and Chon Buri (Chonburi).
　　Pattaya is also the center of the Pattaya-Chonburi Metropolitan Area, the conurbation of Chonburi Province.
　　For centuries, Pattaya was a small fishing village. But a change occurred on April 26, 1961, when the first group of about 100 American servicemen who were fighting in the Vietnam War arrived in Pattaya for relaxation. From this beginning, Pattaya became a popular beach resort which now attracts hundreds of thousands of visitors. Fishermen"s huts along the beach were replaced by resort hotels and shopping malls. Fishing vessels were adapted to become tourist boats.
　　"Greater Pattaya" occupies most of the coastline of Banglamung (one of the eleven districts that comprise Chonburi Province). It is divided into a larger northern section which spans the areas to the east of Naklua Beach (the most northern beach) and Pattaya Beach (the main beach) plus the Buddha Hill headland (immediately south of Pattaya Beach), and a smaller southern section covering the area to the east of Jomtien Beach (which lies directly south of Buddha Hill).
　　The city and its suburbs have a very large number of bars and nightclubs, and some discotheques. Many major hotels also operate restaurants, cocktail lounges, nightclubs and supper clubs which offer food, drinks, music and international entertainment. The Walking Street is a pedestrian area south of the beach and a center for nightlife. Boyztown and Sunee Plaza provide locations for the gay community. Muay Thai (Thai boxing) matches aimed at tourists can be seen at several open-air beer bar complexes.
