Pattaya Holidays
Chaotic, frenzied and utterly entertaining, Pattaya offers a heady cocktail of sun, sea and fun. Perfect for a winter getaway, the best time to visit is from November to March for ultimate paradise.
Ideal for both couples and families, Pattaya boasts three waterparks to help keep you cool, while there are also plenty of golf courses, more so than in the rest of Thailand, with epic greens and fantastic facilities. We highly recommend visiting the Four Regions floating market: Pattaya’s only water market where you can experience local living and indulge in excellent Thai fare.
Bangkok is the perfect city to combine with Pattaya and is just a one hour drive away. If you’re after a more laidback affair after touring the island, why not head to Koh Samet for a spot of tranquillity and relaxation?

Pattaya appeals to the young and care-free who are looking for crazy nightlife, but it is also becoming a terrific place to bring the family with its many fun activities and attractions to try. This really is a resort where you will find it impossible to ever feel bored.
Pattaya is a great destination for anyone who loves shopping! There are modern malls, colourful markets and even a vibrant floating market if you are looking for an authentic Thai experience.
There is a cultural side to Pattaya too – with numerous temples to explore. We would recommend a visit to “The Sanctuary of Truth”. This is an amazing wooden building right on the beach in the Northern part of Pattaya. The building has been under construction now for more than 20 years, and all the delicate carvings are done by hand.

Golf in Pattaya
With over 20 courses to choose from, Pattaya is one of the most diverse areas for playing golf in Thailand. Here you can play on sublime courses at a fraction of the cost of other destinations; with each course offering a fantastic experience for golfers of all abilities. There is no handicap required for any of the courses in Pattaya. Laem Chabang Golf Club is a picturesque Jack Nicklaus designed championship course, and is probably the most well-known one in the area.

Frequently Asked Questions
It’s about 150 kilometres (94 miles) from Bangkok to Pattaya, and how long it takes to drive between the two does depend on traffic. You’d usually be looking at a max of 2 hours in off-peak times but this can be more during rush hour and on Fridays as everyone heads down to Pattaya for the weekend.
The northern area of Pattaya is the quietest place to stay. If you enjoy lazing around the pool at your hotel but would still like to have handy access to the rest of the city then one of the hotels in this area would be perfect.
