Pattaya sightseeing & activities.
Pattaya was simply a small fishing village until it was discovered as a beach resort by Bangkok residents in
the 1960s. When the Americans left following the end of the Vietnam War, the city fell into a crisis.
However, modern mass tourism brought a new lease of life to Pattaya.
Pattaya, Thailand’s original tourist resort is a heady mix of naughty nightlife, great restaurants, sunny beaches, curious attractions, family friendly leisure parks and good value shopping. Just 90 minutes from Bangkok Suvarnabhumi Airport, this lively city is a multi cultural destination with everything you want for an exciting holiday.
There is so much for you to see and do in and around Pattaya you really need to stay here for weeks to see it all.
The activities available include, water sports, para-sailing, jet skiing, bungee-jumping, elephant back riding, deep-sea, shore and freshwater fishing, scuba diving, sailing, swimming in the pool or the sea, golf, go kart racing, polo, gyms and fitness training, shopping, cycling, bowling, running, tennis, snooker, shooting, archery, cooking courses, yoga, kick boxing, tai chi, meditation, beauty and relaxation spas, tropical gardens, nearby islands with crystal clear water, water park, or just walking by the sea. The choice is never ending!
Of course there are discos and hundreds of bars and restaurants for your evening entertainment. A trip to Pattaya would not be complete without a visit to the world famous Walking Street. Here there are several decent restaurants serving a variety of cuisine.
In recent years the city has pushed hard to clean up its image, and family-focused entertainment is
increasingly available. Pattaya is an especially popular vacation destination for families from Russia,
Eastern Europe and Scandinavia. Pattaya also has a large international expatriate population.

There is also a fantastic water park which is a great day out for everyone. Pattaya Park Tower is located between Pattaya & Jomtien. Your holiday may not be complete without a trip to Koh Larn.
Sightseeing may not be complete without a trip to Koh Larn. Only 40 minutes from Pattaya by boat, the island has beautiful white sand, and clear blue swimming water. A day trip here is a nice break from the hustle and bustle of the Pattaya town while still offering good facilities and activities.
