History of Pattaya

Pattaya was originally known as 'Thap Phraya', implying army of Phraya to mark the surrender of Nai Klom's army to the army of Phraya Tak without indulging in any fight. Later the name Thap Phraya changed to Phatthaya (northeasterly wind towards the beginning of the rainy season) and then to Pattaya as per the actual phonetic spellings. The city became renowned as a recreational centre after the Vietnam War, especially amidst the American GIs. Once served as a sleepy village by the sea often used as a place of rest and recreation by American officers back in 1959, today Pattaya has transformed dramatically as one of the major tourist hubs of Asia.
