Answer

Yes, in Pattaya, it’s common for patrons to order drinks in rounds, so if you're with friends, consider ordering together to foster a communal vibe. - Also, be mindful of how you order; specifically referencing the drink by name instead of just saying 'a beer' or 'a cocktail' helps bartenders serve you faster. - Lastly, it's appreciated if you express your thanks after your drink is served. A simple 'thank you' can create a positive interaction. Practical Pattaya note: Prices, opening arrangements and venue policies change. Check the menu, keep track of orders, review the bill before paying, use trusted transport and avoid escalating arguments.
