The USS Abraham Lincoln's Docking in Pattaya Marks a Turning Point for Both Sailors and City The docking of the USS Abraham Lincoln in Pattaya, Thailand, marks a significant moment for both the sailors and the city.

For locals like Anon Saiteer, who has put up a sign welcoming US sailors with a special discount, this visit could be their best hope for an economic boost.
