Pattaya
Located 147 kilometers southeast of Bangkok or only about two hour drive, Pattaya is Thailand's premier beach resort and annually attracts hundreds of thousands of pleasure seeking tourists from all over the world.
Dubbed "Queen of Asia's Resorts", it has the rare distinction of being both a beach destination and a full- fledged city. This near paradoxical status ensures the comforts and entertainment facilities of a major metropolis plus all the delights of sun, sea and sand.
Visitors can windsurf, water ski, swim, sunbath, snorkel, sail, or take trips to offshore coral islands (where bungalows allow overnight stays) by ferry, hydrofoil or hired boat.
They can rent water scooters to explore Pattaya bay, and motorcycles and jeeps to explore neighboring beaches such as the increasingly popular Hat Chom Thian just south of Pattaya, where accommodation is also available.
Tennis enthusiasts can enjoy themselves at leading hotel's courts, and golfers can visit the beautifully-landscaped and challenging Siam Country Club and Bangphra Golf International Courses, both within 30 minutes off Pattaya
Bowling alleys, snooker halls, shooting galleries and archery offer further entertainment; while Tiffany and Alcazar Cabarets offer fascinating night shows with broad popular appeal. Pattaya boasts an incredible choice of accommodation to suit every pocket. Facilities range from air-conditioned opulence to basic simplicity. Essentially, the visitor has the choice of luxury hotels with private-beaches; bayside hotels and bungalows; and "inland" economy-class hotels and guest houses.
Pattaya offers some of Thailand's choicest seafood in several specialty restaurants. Steak houses and fast-food outlets provide attractive alternatives and gourmets and gourmands alike find satisfaction in restaurants featuring French, Italian, Swiss, German, Hungarian, Scandinavian, English, Indian, Muslim, Japanese, Chinese and Thai Cuisines.
From families to individual visitors, Pattaya offers something for everyone and all the ingredients for a truly memorable holiday.
Sights, Scenes & Sports
As a beach resort, Pattaya misses no opportunity for taking full advantage of sandy beaches, a warm sparkling sea and year-round sunshine. There are ample provisions for all kinds of water sports ,sailing, windsurfing, water-skiing, snorkeling, scuba diving, deep-sea fishing and more. Not only is all the necessary equipment available, there is also expert instruction.
Pattaya Beach is today a hive of activity, but four kilometres to the south lies Chomthian Beach. Here is a beautiful stretch of sand, less crowded than Pattaya though still have all the water sport options. To the north there are smaller beaches which offer a more tranquil retreat.
If the beaches are not enough, then you can enjoy idyllic cruises to various offshore islands. Nearest to Pattaya are Koh Lan and Koh Sak, just a 45-minute boat ride away, where there are full facilities .
Getting Around
Mini bus and pickup trucks regularly ply the main routes within Pattaya, stopping on request. Alternatively there are plenty of places where you can hire your own jeep or motorbike. Most hotels also have taxi services, as well as tour counters to arrange excursions outside Pattaya and to the offshore islands.
Dining & Entertainment
True to its city status, Pattaya, unlike other beach resorts, shows no slackening of pace after sundown. South Pattaya, popularly referred to as "The Strip", is packed with all kinds of restaurants, bars, discos, and shops.
If South Pattaya is a trifle overwhelming, those seeking quieter opportunities for shopping, dining and evening entertainment will not be disappointed. Such has been the development of the resort in recent years that full amenities are now to be found throughout Pattaya which extends well inland from the bay.
Shopping possibilities are as varied as Pattaya's other attractions. Souvenirs, handicrafts, gems and jewellery, ready-to-wear and custom-tailored clothing, paintings and more are all to be found along "The Strip" and increasingly at smart shops and department stores throughout the resort.
The Dolphin Roundabout Area : Located North at the beginning of the Beach Road you will find changes in this area. There is a recently built promenade leading to the South Pattaya along the shore fringed with palm trees. At the back part of Pattaya, also known as Second Road which can be reached through any alleys is teemed with more brand name hotels, shopping areas, bars, clubs.
Pattaya Klang or Central Pattaya : This area is livelier than the northern district. The hotels are not so grand, but still good quality accommodation is available. Pattaya Klang has more go-go bars and offers vibrant nightlife for the person seeking nights out on the town. Other places to visit in this area are The Royal Garden Plaza, which is home to "Ripley's believe it or not!" and also Mike's place shopping centre, as well as many retaurants, and brand named fast food outlets.
South Pattaya Road : This area is now famous for the Walking Street which is pedestrianized after 5 pm daily, and is abundant with street bars, Seafood Restaurants and go-go bars teeming with local girls which Pattaya is famed for. Located adjacent to the ocean the Walking street gets quiter the further down you walk, and there you can find some fine restaurants and bars offering good food and a pleasing atmosphere. The boundary of South Pattaya terminates at the Siam Bayshore Hotel and Arthachinda.
Jomtien district : mostly favoured by the person seeking a "quieter" place to holiday, is separated form the other sections of Pattaya by the hill rising to the back of South Pattaya. Jomtien Beach is six-kilometers long which has some fine eateries and beer gardens, and during certain times of the year is popular for windsurfing due to brisk and fresh breezes from the Gulf of Thailand. Again, lively night life is available here, but at a slower "family style" pace.
