In a class of its own, Pattaya is unique as a beach resort with city status. Located a two hour drive southeast of Bangkok , this once tiny fishing village has developed into a renowned international playground.

Colourfull and alive with activity, it is unrivalled as a beach resort, offering more attractions in greater profusion than any other single destination in Southeast Asia.

Watersports are focused on two

main beaches, Pattaya itself, a 3-km stretch of sand, a majestic bay, and Jomtien, a 6 – km largely straight beach situated around the headland from Pattaya. Alternatively, excursions can be made to the offshore island of Ko Lan where there is a well developed and popular beach. The emphasis of Pattaya is more on activity than relaxation, and in addition to a host of watersports is an excellent choice of land-based activities, ranging from golf to horse riding, from arcery to tennis.

Come night time, the action scarcely diminishes as vacationers flock to the resorts neon-lit bars, discos, nightclubs, restaurants and shops.

Indeed, to the basic ingredient of superb costal location, Pattaya adds about every other amenity you can think of for recreation, entertainment, sightseeing and simply fun.
