    Pattaya 2nd most popular beach in the world according to study

    The latest study by Destination 2, a luxury travel company in the United Kingdom, shows that the most popular beach based on TikTok hashtags and views is Bondi Beach, known for surfing, in Australia, after it has received more than 445.8 million views.


    However, the second most popular beach might come as a surprise because it falls to Thailand’s Pattaya Beach, a beautiful seaside resort city, which has received 128.5 million views on TikTok, according to the study.


    Pattaya Beach has ranked far above other beaches like Nha Trang Beach in Vietnam with 64.6 million views, Waikiki Beach (5th) in the USA with 43.7 million views, or JBR Beach (6th) in Dubai with 30.3 million views.


    According to Destination 2, the reason the study was conducted on TikTok is because it is a popular social media application that is widely used for searching for reviews of restaurants and tourist attractions, as well as for finding the most beautiful beaches in the world.

    Bondi Beach is my least favourite Sydney beach.

    And Pattaya beach is a shithole.

    Harvey bay is probably the most pristine, secluded endless beach in the world.
    Takes some beating.

    Outdated take. Why would a shit hole be the 2nd most Tiktoked beach in the world ?

    Unlike you, he actually lives and works there, so his opinion has greater validity than some jerk like you whose experience was limited to a short holiday, mostly spent thrashing big bikes around, and abusing ladyboys!

    Pattaya isn't Pattaya without the beach. It started because of the beach.

    Does it get more Pattaya than this ? All beaches are subject to the same realities.

    Confusion after Bondi Beach swimmers fall sick: 'Watch out'


    Waverley Council has dismissed suggestion contaminated water caused a spate of illness among swimmers at Bondi Beach last week.


    Rumours circled online that stormwater or sewage overspill had triggered multiple bouts of gastro however the council insists the water quality has been “very good”

    Backspin sent me a lovely grey repo for this. If nothing else, it proves that he cannot read or comprehend simple English.

    It was the second most viewed beach, that doesn't actually make it the second most popular regards visiting, nor does it make it the second most liked beach.

    A study with little significance...

    Did a bit of research myself. A lot of the Pattaya Beach hashtags show beaches all the way down Jomtiem etc which have a lot nicer beaches than the main one on beach road.

    There's also a lot of this:

    Pattaya 2nd most popular beach in the world according to study-screenshot_2023-01-06-09-16-28-a

    Pattaya 2nd most popular beach in the world according to study-screenshot_2023-01-06-09-16-03-a

    Bondi on the other hand had a lot of drowning people and giant squids.

    Skiddy is on a roll. In two days, SFO to Honolulu is a longer transpac flight than SF to Taipei, Hong Kong, or Seoul. Now Pattaya is a top 2 beach in the world. But be warned the moron will gray you back. All the while frantically googling to try and prove his point.

    How could you say that the second most mentioned beach on social media says nothing about the popularity of the beach. It doesn't say everything. But it does say something
