Challenging golf courses in Pattaya

Thailand’s Eastern Seaboard is home to a wide range of world-class golf courses that were constructed by reputable designers such as Ronald Fream, Jack Nicklaus, Nick Faldo, Gary Player, Peter Thompson, and Robert Trent Jones JR.

Many of the more than 20 challenging golf courses are ideally located within just a 60-minute drive of the bustling seaside resort town of Pattaya. Compared with anywhere abroad, Pattaya golfing vacations are very affordable, offering unbeatable value, service and quality. The world-class courses in this area will offer every golfing enthusiast an exciting and unforgettable experience.

When tourists on a golfing holiday also consider the low expenses and outstanding value of the beachside hotels & resorts as well as Pattaya’s extensive nightlife entertainment opportunities, they will realise that it won’t be necessary to visit any other destination on the globe for their rewarding golfing holiday in Thailand.

Due to its fine attributes it is not surprising that many well-known golf fanatics, famous sports people, and celebrities travel to Pattaya, enjoying their beloved sport to the fullest. Some of the finest courses include: the Pattaya Country Club, Royal Lakeside Golf Club, Sriracha International Golf Club, Siam Country Golf Club, and Treasure Hill Golf & Country Club.

Pattaya body massage

Thailand’s massage venues are usually associated with sex. The art of massage is a popular and long standing tradition in the country but massage “parlours”, as opposed to shops, offer guests more than solely treatment of your weary muscles. Although these parlours are mostly concentrated in Phuket and the Thai capital there’s a nice selection of spots in Pattaya as well where tourists can get away from the noisy bars near the beach while having their own bit of private relaxation with an erotic body massage.

Many Pattaya sex massage parlours are attached to huge entertainment establishments and they might be a bit difficult to locate if you do not have a clue where to search. When you step into one you’ll find that the ladies are on display behind a large one-way mirror, sometimes named the ‘fishbowl’. The girls’ selection varies according to the time of night or evening and what month. It is easy to select the girl of your dreams as every lady wears a number.

Your body massage will start with a firm soaping down in a spacious bath-tub in the room. The ladies can be well-adept at this, and after a while will join you in the tub. It is up to you what will happen after. Ladies working in these venues might go with several male customers during a day’s work, and generally the entire experience takes around 90 minutes. The price will be between 1200 and 2000baht.

Magical Pattaya

There is no spot on our planet like Pattaya. The exotic tropic ambience, modern tourist facilities, and simply to reach surrounding attractions makes Pattaya the ideal beach holiday destination, offering everything the visitor may need.

Unwind and forget the hectic Western world for two or three weeks, while shopping until you drop or partying all night long. This modestly-sized seaside resort has it all!

These pretty girls would like to party with you, all night long!

Pattaya is also proud for boasting Thailand’s oldest and authentic lady-boy theatre known as Tiffany’s Show. The costumes and sets are as breathtakingly beautiful as the transvestite actors themselves. A performance at Tiffany’s Show should not be missed when holidaying in Pattaya.

The actual currency exchange rate for one American dollar is around 35 Baht while one Euro is about 47 baht. A comfortable room at a well-established and reputed hotel can be booked for a price as low $22 or 17 Euro a night and usually includes making use of a swimming pool, and every morning a rich breakfast.

Visiting Cha-am

This seaside town has a unique ambience and offers a pleasurable change of pace. Cha-am is charming due to what it lacks, namely a comprehensive tourist infrastructure and crowds of Western holidaymakers like in Pattaya.

The town’s nice beach is divided in two. To the north shops, small hotels and guesthouses cater mainly to European visitors having staked out a small claim, while mostly Thai tourists dominate the southern beach strip. 

If you have ever wondered what the Thai locals do to escape their daily grind of serving food and cocktails or eagerly trying to get you into their noisy tuk-tuks, the answer might be that Thailand’s wage-slaves save some money and head to Cha-am once a year on holidays and weekends.

Domestic tourists arrive here in big, brightly coloured coaches, throbbing with music of the latest Thai pop hits, and filled with holidaymakers who have been dancing, drinking and singing since they boarded the bus at the crack of dawn. These vacationers can not afford to waste one minute of valuable time, since some trips just budget three or four hours of actual beach time.

Located a little farther north is an idyllic fishing village with a tiny man-made harbour that is filled with fishing boats. The village also boasts several outstanding seafood restaurants. 

If a vibrant nightlife, entertainment, a wide range of dining options and excitement are what you’re looking for then Cha-am isn’t the place to be. A 20-minute drive will get you to Hua Hin, which is a tourist hotspot with a well-developed infrastructure. Otherwise, reset the internal clock to Thai time, and appreciate a simple taste of what daily life in the Kingdom of Siam would be like if Western vacationers weren’t here!

Pattaya wheelchair holidays

Pattaya may be a great holiday destination for wheelchair users. Interesting attractions such as Underwater World, Pattaya Elephant Village, Sri Racha Tiger Zoo, Nong Mon Market, Nong Nooch Tropical Gardens, Bang Saray Fishing Village and even the notorious nightlife are all wheelchair accessible.

Gay nightlife entertainment in Pattaya

Famous all over the world for its pulsating sex industry, the seaside resort of Pattaya has long been a travel destination for those mainly looking for a real good time. We’ve probably all seen the shirts with the printed “good guys go to heaven and bad guys go to Pattaya” text on it. But what is it exactly that draws so many gay holidaymakers to this never-sleeping seaside resort? The correct answer is, obviously, the naughty nightlife scene.

In recent years the homosexual scene in Pattaya has grown significantly with numerous pubs and bars catering mainly to gay customers, not to mention the hugely favoured cabaret shows starring lady-boys. These unique shows add a Moulin Rouge atmosphere to the otherwise largely sleazy resort town and make for an unforgettable happening for numerous gay males who visit here especially for the lady-boys.

Pattaya’s nightlife with its spacious zone solely dedicated to gay entertainment often overwhelms first-time lesbian and gay travellers. The neon-lit district of Pattayaland soi 3 is filled with male go-go venues and nightclubs, which attract mainly western customers but also large numbers of curious punters and tourists looking and willing to pay for erotic services.

Boyz Boyz Boyz is another popular gay nightlife area that attracts both locals and foreigners with its nightly performances and spacious dance floor, while the Throb/Splash nightclub located opposite Le Cafe Royal is a reputed ‘gay& lesbian’ hotel.

Jomtien Beach tourist facilities

Located directly south of Pattaya, Jomtien Beach is a popular family holiday destination and houses a large population of expatriates and western retirees. The nightlife here is much calmer and less sleazy compared to Pattaya

Most tourists to Jomtien Beach arrive from Bangkok by bus, taxi or minivan at Pattaya’s bus station. Transport between the bus terminal and Jomtien is provided by song-teaws, which are pick-up trucks that have been converted into taxis. For a fee between 20 and 100 baht, depending on the ride’s distance, they transport visitors to locations across Jomtien and Pattaya. You should roughly know where your final destination is as the buzzer needs to be pressed, as soon as the vehicles reaches your intended stop.

Jomtien Beach is almost four miles long and is particularly favoured among Thai families enjoying a day out. Beach chairs can be hired for 20 baht per day. Along Jomtien Road you will find numerous restaurants and shops. Jomtien boasts a wide range of tourist amenities: 

The Hardbody Fitness Gym is located on Thappraya Road, Jomtien. This non-air-conditioned gym is opened every day from 08:30 to 21:00. 

The kids will love Pattaya Park, located at Jomtien’s northern end on Dongtan Beach. The facility features a large water park with large slides and a tower, which houses a fine restaurant that offers a stunning view of Pattaya.

Positioned on Jomtien Beach Road Soi 14, you can find the Jomtien Fishing Park. Fees include 200 baht for a rented rod and 100 baht for your own rod. They’ll also prepare your catch here!

Also on Jomtien Road is Paintball World.

You might want to play some bowling at the Jomtien Bowl, which is housed in the Jomtien Resort on Jomtien Beach Road. The bowling is opened daily from 10:00 to 02:00 and features eight lanes.
 

Pattaya’s naughty Walking Street

This popular seaside resort town’s most pulsating nightlife entertainment that is focused on tourists is positioned in South Pattaya, along the world-famous Walking Street. This booming neon-drenched strip boasts the densest concentration of discos, massage parlours, beer bars and go-go venues. Stretching from Soi 13 to Soi 16, Walking Street offers its visitors a truly unique nightlife experience and the area is traffic-free after sunset.

The mixture of loads of booze, sleazy shows, loud disco beats and bar games create the ultimate party atmosphere.
Entire divisions of sexy girls offer dedicated services to satisfy the huge crowds of mainly single Western males. Most Pattaya bar girls are so kind and hospitable that even the shyest dudes may confidently get comfortable here.

Even if noisy nightlife isn’t what you’re looking for, a visit to Pattaya wouldn’t be complete with at least experiencing Walking Street’s action once! A little farther north, more similar nightlife action can be found along Pattayaland’s Soi 1,2 and 3, particularly beer bars and go-go girls establishments. Gay travellers will find plenty of entertainment in the dedicated zone known as Boyz Town (Soi Pattayaland 3)

If you are looking for slightly less hectic nightlife in Pattaya, head to Soi 7 and Soi 8. This area is crammed with concentrations of open-air beer pubs, bars and restaurants. Smaller clusters of beer bars are positioned all along Second Road. Pattaya online nightlife resource  

Pattaya, an exotic and fun-filled beach holiday destination

Ideally positioned along the Gulf of Thailand’s picturesque eastern coast, from Bangkok Pattaya City can be reached within a two-hour drive (99 miles). Transformed rapidly from a sleepy fishermen’s village in the 1960s into one of South East Asia’s most popular seaside resort towns, Pattaya offers sun-soaked beaches year-round.

Especially favoured among European holidaymakers, this bathing place provides a pulsating retreat where all types of tourists travel to in order to seek naughty entertainment or just unwind on one of the resort’s exotic beaches. Thailand’s touristy beach areas are divided into zones and usually owned by families, who are responsible of each section’s recreational activities, much similar to restaurants. Pattaya’s beach areas are in general free, but tourists will be charged for the various services they bought. The fee is about 50 baht or so per beach chair, though bargaining is rather common in the ‘Land of Smiles’.

Having a good time and relaxation is what a rewarding vacation is all about, and Pattaya’s beaches, particularly Jomtien Beach feature the most ideal setting to fully unwind. Until sundown you will find many fellow holidaymakers on the hospitable and charming Jomtien Beach, relaxing in the reclining chairs with large parasols and small tables placed around them. Some tourists prefer to chill-out on the golden sand nearby the sea while most favour to relax a bit further back in the trees’ cool shades.

From pretty beaches, to outstanding dining & wining options and from great shopping places to numerous affordable accommodation establishments and the naughty nightlife scene, Thailand’s most popular seaside resort has it all!
