When his soldiers showed up at the area of what is now Pattaya, he encountered the troops of Nai Klom, who made an effort to intercept him. When the two rulers met in person, Nai Klom was awed by Phraya Tak's dignified approach and his army's strict discipline. He then surrendered without having a battle. The place the two armies confronted each other was labeled Thap Phraya, which means the Army of the Phraya. This was later changed to Phatthaya, which happens to mean the wind blowing from the southwest to the northeast at the beginning of the rainy season. Today the city is formally know as Pattaya.
For centuries, Pattaya was a tiny fishing village. But a alter came about on April 26, 1961, when the principal group of about 100 American servicemen who were fighting in the Vietnam War arrived in Pattaya for relaxation. Coming from this beginning, Pattaya has become a well-known beach resort which now allure hundreds of thousands of visitors. Fishermen's huts along the beach were replaced by resort hotel and shopping malls. Fishing boats were adapted to become holiday boats.
