About this audio guide
This guide to Walking Street in Pattaya opens on the strip after dark in the early 1990s, when neon, crowds and traffic all shared one road. It reaches back to a fishing village's working lane, to the American servicemen who began arriving in 1959, and to the Vietnam War years when Pattaya became where an air base's men spent their leave. Best heard standing at the arch on Beach Road, looking toward the sea.
