Pattaya

Party in Pattaya

When it comes to partying, there’s no place like Pattaya. It’s an hour and a half drive from Bangkok, making it the closest among many of Thailand’s beach resorts to the capital city. The proximity to the city attracts a lot of tourists as it’s entirely possible to do some shopping in the morning, then head to the beach in the afternoon and stay for the awesome nightlife that Pattaya is famous for. Water sports enthusiasts and sunbathers flock to the beach during the day, and come sunset, the streets come alive with revelers eager to partake in the endless entertainment possibilities that Pattaya has to offer.

Pattaya is divided into three areas, namely Pattaya Beach, Jomtien Beach and Naklua Beach, and each one has something different to offer. Pattaya Beach, particularly the southern part draws many fun-loving tourists looking for a wild and crazy time after dark, thus making this place strictly for adults only. Jomtien, by contrast is more suited for families who are on vacation- it is very kid friendly, clean and less crowded. Naklua Beach is by far the quietest among the three, making it perfect for relaxing and meditating.

If you plan to stay in Pattaya, there are many hotels to choose from to suit your preferences. Among those that are highly recommended are the Pullman Pattaya, a 5-star luxury boutique hotel, and Pattaya Discovery Beach. Luxurious accommodations plus world class amenities make your stay extra special.

Though Pattaya is world renowned for its nightlife, there are other attractions that make this place beyond the usual beach party town. Visit Underwater World, the largest underwater aquarium in Asia and be amazed at the huge variety of marine life housed in this massive place. Or hang out at an amusement park where you can see miniatures of famous buildings located all over the world- Mini Siam. The Orchid Farm will delight you with the various kinds of exotic orchids that one can find only in Thailand.

Pattaya is great for water sports. Learn to parasail or windsurf. Go snorkeling. It’s the ideal place for water sports enthusiasts. And as for the cuisine, let’s just say that your taste buds will also experience an epic culinary adventure whether you are sampling the offerings of street vendors, having a taste of the local cuisine al fresco, or dining in a 5-star restaurant.

Pattaya. It’s a seaside paradise that caters to your every pleasure.
