Without a doubt one of the top tourist destinations in South East Asia, Pattaya is ideally located within driving distance of Bangkok on the pleasurable Gulf of Thailand. The wide and varied range of attractions on offer in this seaside resort is the reason why huge crowds of holidaymakers, coming from each part of the world, arrive in Pattaya year-round.

Pattaya is mainly famous for its naughty nightlife. However, there’s so much more to see and do in Pattaya! The information below might help you decide whether or not staying for some time in the place during your next holiday in Thailand.

Pattaya by night

The resort’s most popular beach area is known as Pattaya Beach. The beach is conveniently positioned within a short walking distance of hotels, guesthouses, pubs, bars, shops and eateries. During the high season the beach often becomes overcrowded making it sometimes rather difficult finding a nice place on the sand.

Jomtien Beach is quieter and here it won’t be a problem to find a relaxed spot on the sand. Nearby this beach are also several good accommodation options and fine restaurants. Also within easy reach is a big family amusement park (next to the Pattaya Park Beach Resort Hotel) featuring a monorail, exciting water slides, a rollercoaster, and many kid’s activities. The Jomtien area offers great vacations for the entire family.

Pattaya is also a fantastic golf holiday destination boasting several exceptional courses. Nearby Pattaya attractions such as the Sri Racha Tiger Zoo, Elephant Village, Underwater World, Sanctuary of Truth, Koh Larn Island, and the Million Years Stone Park and Pattaya Crocodile Farm offer exciting daytrips.

Well, hopefully you’ve seen by now that Pattaya isn’t solely a destination for single men looking for adult nightlife entertainment! Pattaya in Thailand has become a travel destination which deserves, by each type of traveller, to think about visiting.
