    Pattaya Hotels

    Pattaya City is a seaside city on the East coast of the Gulf of Thailand, situated within the province of Chonburi. Famed for its beaches and nightlife in areas like Walking Street, it is diverse enough in its offerings to appeal to couples, families, and solo-travellers. The area is one of the most popular tourist spots in the already popular Thailand, attracting over 5 million visitors each year, a legacy stemming from its popularity with American soldiers during the Vietnam War. Pattaya is just a few hours’ drive from Bangkok, and accommodation figures are close to 2000, you will not be short of options when planning where to stay.

    Its beaches are the main drawcard with the 4 km Pattaya Beach being the busiest, followed by the less-crowded and more peaceful Jomtien beach which is a great spot for watersports. There is a large assortment of hotels in Pattaya Thailand and the surrounding beach areas, and deciding where to stay in Pattaya often depends on what beach you wish to be near or activities you wish to do.

    The beach of Pattaya Wong Amat, located next to northern Pattaya Beach remains a favourite among families. Tien Beach is a tranquil beach and considered one of the cleaner beaches in the area. Its clear waters and white sand makes this the perfect choice for a laidback day swimming and sunbathing. Ban Amphur Beach features white sand and clear seas just right for paddling, along with a playground for children. Bamboo Beach is a pretty and calm beach with a rocky backdrop perfect for a secluded day sun lounging and swimming. Tawaen Beach has stunning green mountainous surrounds and clear water is popular for water sports such as banana boating and jet-skiing.

    Bang Saray Beach is best known for scuba diving because it houses a WWII shipwreck which divers love to explore. Naklua Beach is a more local rustic-style beach and busy fishing area in Pattaya. There are no water sports here so its a nice place to relax and enjoy watching locals go about their daily business. Dongtan Beach is a quiet and long beach has plenty of space for so it never feels too crowded. A section of the beach especially caters to the LGBTQ+ community.

    Bang Saen Beach is one of the most romantic beaches popular with couples and honeymooners and lined with palm trees. Another popular choice for couples is the charming Koh Larn island which is only a 15-minute ferry ride away and boasts some beautiful beaches. A good day trip option is Samae Beach located on the nearby Coral Island, which is only a short ferry trip from the Pattaya mainland.

    While public transit options may be relatively limited, visitors can get around via taxis, songthaews, and tuk-tuks, with the option of also renting motorbikes or cars. Drivers should be aware of traffic and a loose interpretation of driving laws. Trains can also be accessed at Pattaya Station, Pattaya Tai Station, or Bang Lamung Station. The area is served by Pattaya Airpark (PYX), with the next closest major airport being U-Tapao International Airport (UTP), which serves mainly domestic flights to Phuket and Koh Samui.

    What should I avoid in Pattaya?

    Here are some tips to have a fun stay in Pattaya which you can read in guest reviews or any travel advisory:
    – Avoid the so-called seedy areas of Pattaya. There are more than a thousand bars that cater mostly to adult tourists. You will be vulnerable to petty thefts or scams. If you really want to try out the night scene, go in a group.
    – Avoid offending the locals. Take off your footwear before you enter any structure with the statue of Buddha. Do not put your feet up on a table or use them to point at others. Avoid touching the head of a person, or Buddha or passing anything over the head. When offered merchandise to buy, just give a simple “No, thank you.”
    – Avoid the beaches that have been polluted by open sewers, releasing mud and slime into the sea.

    Is Pattaya dangerous?

    Pattaya is not dangerous, per se. Like any large international destination, there are dangers you might encounter and not have been used to. Here’s what to look out for when travelling to Pattaya:
    When going out at night, be on guard against club raids. These are not a regular occurrence in Pattaya and raids are usually conducted to search for drugs, which are illegal not only in Pattaya but in Thailand. Those who loosen up outside the home country, don’t consider using or bringing drugs or even being with people who use drugs. You wouldn’t want to spend your precious vacation days in a Thai prison.
    Massage Parlours. In the red light districts, a “Thai massage” often implies more than that. Make sure the service and the price are fixed. Otherwise, the price would be increased after it has started and even a fake police raid could happen. You would end up paying a lot more before you can leave. Just remember that these scenarios are more probable in Pattaya than in other destinations in Thailand.
    Taxis without metres. If you have to take a taxi, see that the driver’s photo matches his face before you, that they know where you want to go and that the metre is running. Use the same precautions when taking the local transport, the tuk-tuk, as well.
    You can have a marvellous vacation in Pattaya, just as long as you are aware of your surroundings and keep your wits about.

    What is Pattaya known for?

    Pattaya was a fishing town that first became popular as a destination for US servicemen during the time of the Vietnam War. It is currently aiming to become a family-friendly seaside resort destination, perhaps to ease down its earlier reputation as a popular hub for sex tourism. Pattaya’s infamy and the resulting nightlife have influenced how the city had developed in more ways than one. Prostitution, though technically illegal in Thai law, is tolerated in some areas, Pattaya being one of those. Establishments like gogo bars, massage parlours, saunas and hourly hotels serve both foreign tourists and local customers. Thus, the efforts to reformat the image of Pattaya to a family-friendly destination.

    Is Phuket or Pattaya better?

    A comparison between Phuket or Pattaya can be quite difficult.
    Phuket is described to be best among Thailand’s holiday destinations as suited for families, couples with kids. Pattaya has more accommodation options, hotels and resorts with events and activities for adrenaline junkies, those who seek adventure for fun.
    It will all boil down to the personal choice of what guests will consider the better value for money among the destinations in Thailand. Browsing through travel sites, reading guest reviews on both places could help decide which offerings resonate with your taste.

    Is Pattaya safe?

    Pattaya is generally safe. Just check the travel advisory from your home country or embassy and do the standard travel safety protocols mentioned in any travel advisory to have a fun and safe holiday trip.
    Inland Travel. As in all holiday destinations, be sure to follow standard travel protocols. When taking a taxi use only those with a metre. For the local tuk-tuk, set a fixed price and do not negotiate. Either way, make sure they know where you would want to go.
    Healthcare and protection. Pattaya has a good number of pharmacies within the city centre and other parts of the city, which are well-stocked with medical supplies, medicines, herbal supplements as well. Some of the clinics in the city centre have multi-lingual staff and doctors, charging reasonable prices, too. There are 3 hospitals in Pattaya too. Important to note – do not drink tap water anywhere in Pattaya, there are no water treatment plants so the best advice is to take only boiled or bottled water.

    Is Pattaya cheaper than Phuket?

    Again, from guest reviews, Pattaya is relatively cheaper than Phuket.
    Local transportation would be cheaper in Pattaya than in Phuket. Pattaya could be reached in 2 hours by bus for only $5 or less.
    Phuket has a lot of 4 and 5-star hotels and these are in the best locations, nearer the beaches and the ocean. Nearer the city centre could be found the cheaper accommodation options. Hotels in Pattaya are numerous, as well, but there are fewer 4 and 5-star hotels in Pattaya; there are more budget hotels and resort even in good locations like near the beach or by the beach road. The advantage to this is that hotel prices are more reasonable; it is also more likely to get a good deal on per night stays, discounts, free cancellation or flexible cancellation policies and even amenities like a swimming pool and free wifi.
    Both cities have exciting nightlife offers but an average chill-out night in Pattaya would cost less. Pattaya, thus, would give a better value for money holiday.

    Do people in Pattaya speak English?

    Pattaya is a big city, along with Bangkok and Chiang Mai, with international schools. There are more English-speaking locals you can find in Pattaya hotels and in the city centre. In the smaller towns, only in tourist areas and city centre could be found locals who speak at least some basic English, or at least understand simple and basic English questions.

    Is Pattaya good for families?

    Pattaya is not just safe to visit with your children and family. It has diverse hotel and tour deals with family or kid-friendly activities. Island-hopping to nearby islands, cavorting in the warm clear waters and in the water parks.
    Previously known to be a party and adult entertainment destination, Pattaya is now changing its image and gearing up for family visitors, in its accommodations and activities and events.

    What can you do in Pattaya for 3 days?

    Quite a lot! Here is a list of activities and events and places to visit and explore in Pattaya for at least three days.
    Day 1. It’s Thailand, so the first logical point you look for is the beach. The most popular one being Pattaya beach. It has calm waters just right for swimming in assigned spots. There are many sundecks for a lounge on the beach in the day, and at night, bars by the beachfront.
    At the edge of a beach sits The Sanctuary of Truth, an imposing structure of architectural wonder, made wholly of wood, like a heritage monument soaring toward the skies, granting an awesome view in an air of serenity.
    The Pattaya View Point is just the ideal location to get a panoramic view of Pattaya Bay, relishing the cool sea breeze while making photo ops of the city.
    The famous ladyboys of Thailand, Alcazar Cabaret. The legendary Alcazar Cabaret show of ladyboys bedecked in brilliant colourful costumes have entertained audiences for years now. Celebrity spoofs amid music and dance in impressive lighting and sound system complete this amazing cultural extravaganza.
    Walking Street. The epitome of Pattaya nightlife, this street is closed to traffic at night. A kilometre-long strip of nightclubs, strip clubs, bars, Thai martial arts (Muay Thai) rings, cafes. A simple stroll along the street is an experience in itself.
    Day 2
    Coral Island, the centre of Pattaya’s watersports, is just a short ride by speedboat. There’s snorkelling, jetski or parasailing, even banana boat rides, these and more are right in Coral Island for you to enjoy.
    Art in Paradise. An illusion art museum with walls painted with life-size 3D images.
    Golden Buddha at Wat Phra Yai. A temple of a massive golden Buddha statue sits on a hilltop reached by stairs circled with golden dragons. The giant Buddha is surrounded by smaller versions in varying poses.
    End the day with sunset watching from the Horizon Rooftop Bar, sipping cocktails. A contrast to the frenzy of the previous night, here would be a calm evening and enjoy the stunning sunet over Pattaya Bay.
    Day 3
    Pattaya Floating Market. Perfect spot for an authentic experience of the local culture, with hundreds of wooden houses floating in the water.
    The Nong Nooch Botanical Garden. A widespread landscaped park with gardens of European themes, strolling around is like seeing different parts of the world. With daily cultural shows (dances, drum performances, Muay Thai competitions) and elephant shows.
    Skydiving, Bungee Jumping and Human Slingshot – these events are easily for the taking of the daring and adventurous for land-based activities.
    Scuba Diving and Snorkeling bring you to Pattaya’s underwater world. Swim in the ocean depths among the vibrant corals and many-hued fishes.
    Cap the day with a drink at Beach Road. This area is dotted with chill-out bars where drinks are lower priced. With relatively mellower music, your last night would be quiet and relaxed.

    What is Pattaya nightlife?

    Pattaya nightlife has been known all over the world, associated with words like Walking Street, with its overlapping neon sights for discos, bars, massage parlours and various types of nighttime entertainment. They say this strip in South Pattaya is an assault on one’s sense, much more than anywhere else on Thailand’s eastern seaboard.
    But, Pattaya nightlife is not simply Walking Street. Other parts of Pattaya have various attractions, unique in their own way. There are streets where you can find the cheapest drinks, gay bars and clubs, cabaret shows, ladyboy bars and a lot more. Pattaya nightlife caters to whatever and however you would want your night.

    Is Pattaya worth visiting?

    Pattaya’s reputation in previous decades was for nightlife with gogo clubs, gay bars and ladyboys but guest reviews acknowledge that there are more than a few interesting places to visit in Pattaya. The cost of a Pattaya visit cheaper than Bangkok or Phuket has been cited several times, as well. In recent years, Pattaya now has many modern malls and good restaurants, not to forget good hospitals, pharmacies with staff having basic English communication skills.
