An
amazing new spot, isolated and set above the boulder-strewn southwest point of Hat Sun-
rise. They feature spacious dark wood, thatched bungalows with private patios, seating
areas inside and out, brass bowl sinks, and some of the units have air-con. The Big Le-
bowski unit is their take on a penthouse suite and includes a private pool with a com-
manding view.

Eating & Drinking
Hat Pattaya's resorts put on nightly fresh seafood barbecues;
Daya's
is arguably the best.
Cheap eats are best found at the roti stands and small Thai cafes along Walking Street.
For drinking, driftwood-clad Rasta bars are found on all beaches. At least some things
never change.
