Pattaya: City of Smiles offers an intriguing glimpse into a side of Pattaya that isn't often spotlighted. The documentary takes a really laid-back approach, letting locals share their stories—some eye-opening, some heartwarming. The editing feels a bit raw, but it kind of adds to that authentic vibe. Lou Deprijck's interview is a notable highlight, giving an interesting context to his catchy tune 'Pattaya-Pattaya', which echoes throughout the film. It almost feels like a love letter to the city, warts and all. Themes of tourism, personal narratives, and the sometimes harsh realities of life in such a vibrant place weave through the film, making it distinctive in its unflinching honesty.
