>Tourists can take a virtual walk around Pattaya City before they even arrive in Thailand's famous beach destination. All they need to do is visit the website www.PattayaPhotoGuide.com.

The web developer has designed the virtual map from thousands of panoramic street-level photographs, allowing anyone with a 'Net connection to travel the streets of the resort.

You can adjust the angle, turning left and right and moving back and forwards. The virtual map will help first-time visitors learn their way around Pattaya as well as giving them the chance to check out hotels, bars and shopping destinations.
