Pattaya is a safe destination. Of course, you should always pay attention, as you should in any country and destination. Just consider Pattaya as a big city, like Bangkok. With over 4 million tourists coming to Pattaya every year, there is always something happening. But with so many tourists, there is also plenty of tourist police available. One tip: even if you are very drunk, don't go with unknown people to places you don't know. If you take someone home for the night, take him/her to a place you know. Thailand is a lot safer than most destinations in South America. You can safely walk around here, even if you are alone and also in the evening, just use common sense. Villa Oranje has a wall around the entire complex. We close the gate in the evening. Of course you can always get in with your own key. You will feel extra safe with us.
