Category: Pattaya

Pattaya is a well-liked beach destination on the Gulf of Thailand, located a mere 2 hours’ drive south of Bangkok. In recent years, local authorities have worked to enhance the quality of the beaches and rebrand the resort as more family-friendly, despite Pattaya’s famed reputation for a frenetic nightlife.

Pattaya is a popular tourist destination because of its proximity to islands and the wind and water sports that can be enjoyed there. Activities such as Muay Thai (Thai boxing), paintball, and karting are also available. There is a great variety of golf courses in and around Pattaya, making it a great destination for golfers of all skill levels. Pattaya’s abundance of eateries dishing up some of Thailand’s finest seafood is another key appeal for tourists. Pattaya is home to a large number of foreign ex-pats, thus it comes as no surprise that the city has a wealth of restaurants serving real French, Italian, Swiss, German, Hungarian, Scandinavian, English, Indian, Arabic, Japanese, and Chinese fare.
