Pattaya
Information & Guide - Introduction
Pattaya is nestled along a picturesque
bay on the East Coast of the Gulf of Thailand, roughly
170 kilometers southeast of Bangkok. From a fishing
village in the 1960’s, Pattaya has emerged as
the favorite Southeast Asian vacation center. A fascinating
escape where tourists,
holiday makers and vacationers from around the world
unfold an incomparable array of possibilities to unwind
during an exotic holiday beach vacation.
Unlike other beach resorts, where natural surroundings
are used as magnets to attract tourists, Pattaya makes
an all-out attempt to provide the best of everything.
Here, everything means everything a tourist can imagine
while on holiday: recreation, entertainment, sports,
sightseeing and fun. To put it simply, Pattaya is
a paradise for everyone, as it has a variety of attractions
suitable for all types of visitors. This is the place
where you can fill your day, from dusk to dawn, with
endless activities, or you may choose to do nothing
at all and relax.
