Pattaya is 147 km southeast of Bangkok, and faces the Gulf of Siam. It is located within easy access of the Bangkok Airport and has excellent accommodation and restaurants and entertainment for all tastes.
Because of its easy accessibility from Bangkok, Pattaya remains one of Thailands most popular weekend getaways for Bangkoks city-dwellers.
Accommodation ranges from luxuriously appointed pattaya beachside hotels with superb convention facilities to simple guesthouses.
Sporting opportunities abound both on land and water, and include some of the finest golfing, game-fishing, and scuba-diving anywhere in Asia.
Theme and amusement parks, offbeat museums and lush botanical gardens offer numerous forms of leisure activities and cultural entertainment for all family members. And after dark, Pattaya offers the allure of a truly vibrant nightlife with a great variety of restaurants, night clubs, bars, discotheques, and cabarets.
Tourism is Pattayas main source of income. It attracts thousands of pleasure-seeking tourists from all over the world. There is much on offer - good beaches, offshore islands, water sport diving, sailing and its many pattaya golf courses are just a few of the activities visitors can enjoy.
More than 30 offshore islands stretch around Pattaya beach within a radius of some 48km, from around Si Racha in the north, to Sattahip in the south. A few islands are off-limits as they are under the control of the Royal Thai Navy. Most others have fascinating dive sites. The waters are rich in various coral species and tropical fish.
Always enjoy on pattaya... |
