Pattaya, Thailand is a lively coastal city located about 150 kilometers southeast of Bangkok, along the Gulf of Thailand. Known for its vibrant nightlife, beaches, and wide range of attractions, Pattaya draws visitors from around the world seeking both relaxation and entertainment.
The city’s main beaches — Pattaya Beach, Jomtien Beach, and Naklua Beach — offer opportunities for swimming, jet skiing, parasailing, and beachside dining. Beyond the shore, you’ll find Walking Street, famous for its nightlife, live music, and neon-lit clubs, as well as family-friendly attractions like Sanctuary of Truth, a massive hand-carved wooden temple, and Nong Nooch Tropical Garden, known for its lush landscapes and cultural shows.
For a scenic escape, nearby islands such as Koh Larn (Coral Island) offer crystal-clear waters and snorkeling. Pattaya has evolved from a small fishing village into a major tourist destination that blends relaxation, adventure, and Thai hospitality — making it one of Thailand’s most dynamic coastal cities.
