Go Pattaya
Pattaya is a very popular seaside resort city in Thailand, located on the east coast of the Gulf of Thailand
Pattaya’s three main areas are Pattaya Beach (central Pattaya), Jomtien Beach (south) and Naklua Beach (north). It doesn’t really matter where you stay as far as convenience, there’s places to go and eat almost everywhere in most areas and there are Song Thaews which are basically covered pickup trucks with seats in the back that can take you back and forth to all of these areas in a few minutes for 10-20 baht.
Pattaya is the ideal family holiday destination, where all people can enjoy a variety of activities at reasonable cost. Want to try something new? Pattaya is a great place for the adventurous traveler to explore. Get close to nature with an elephant ride at the elephant village, or spend time at the Noong Nooch Tropical Garden. Pattaya never sleeps. In fact, things heat up especially once the sun sets. A four-kilometer stretch of beachside in Pattaya South features the best after-dark entertainment in town. Beer bars and go-go bars are dotted all along main roads and side ’sois’ (streets), and have earned a dubious reputation for Pattaya, but also happens to be one of the main draw-cards.
Pattaya is an energetic city, evident from the pace that strikes you when you arrive. For sure it’s a party city more than a quiet coastal destination, with plenty of activities both night and day. However you can escape to idyllic offshore islands, alternatively take the family to one of the amusement or themed parks, get in a round of golf, have fun with watersports, go shopping, do the spa ‘thing’, or enjoy the fun and slightly naughty night scene. We’ve got it all covered here.
