I just left Pattaya, and, while I hate to sound like the constant "sky is falling" posts about low season, rising prices, etc., traffic was BY FAR the worst that I have ever experienced in Pattaya.  It was as bad, if not worse, than Bangkok or Manila.  At least the BTS provides an alternative in Bangkok.

If I thought the construction projects were going to help, maybe the short term "pain" would be worth it, but past experience shows that is rarely the case.

Fingers crossed in any event.
