Pedicures and a pair of socks: sailors from USS Abraham Lincoln go wild in party resort of Pattaya
During shore leave, their brief vacation, in Pattaya, Thailand, crew members of the U.S. aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln chose low‑key activities over the city’s famed nightlife. Many visited a local resort for pedicures, bought new socks, and ate meals they considered decent, opting for modest comforts and personal pampering rather than the red‑light district’s attractions.
