'modern day Sodom and Gomorrah' with highest number of prostitutes anywhere
Good guys go to heaven, bad guys go to Pattaya” reads the popular slogan on t-shirts flogged to tourists .
If so, there are plenty of bad guys: every year more than one million visitors a year pass through the Thai resort known as the world's sex capital.
Many men are drawn there by one thing only.
Pattaya has a reported 27,000 prostitutes, roughly one for every five people living permanently in the east-coast city that has been likened to a modern-day Sodom and Gomorrah.
The resort's infamous main drag, the largest red-light district on earth, is lined with sex clubs and go-go bars.
Neon signs promise sex shows, pole-dancing, cheap drinks and more.
Scantily clad Thai women, faces whitened with foundation, offer massages to passing western men.
Prostitution is illegal in Thailand but the law is widely ignored and there are brothels in abundance.
