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.

Facts
This exotic
beach resort welcomes approximately

back the repeat visitors and constantly
increasing the number of newcomers.
Pattaya city is located on the eastern
coast of the country at latitude
13 N and longitude 101 E in the
area of Chon Buri province. It is
147 kilometers from Bangkok and
lies parallel to Sukhumvit Road
on its east and the coastline on
its west. Pattaya occupies an area
of 208.1 sq. km. that is divided
into 53.44 sq. kilometers of land
and 154.66 sq. kilometers of islands
and sea. Its coastline is 15 kilometers

Pattaya has a plain on the coast
with some high mountains to the

down towards the sea on the west.
The Present
Pattaya currently
integrates the delights of a 1st
class beach resort, city-like dining,
shopping and night entertainment
facilities with more than 300 assorted
hotels, thousands of shops, restaurants
and bars. In addition, there are
an array of sports and recreational
activities including beaches, golf

monstrous motorcycles, or even monster
multicolored convertible Jeeps.
Others go for shooting firearms,
scuba diving and surfing, deep-sea
fishing, speed boats, scooters,
water-skiing, parasailing, or aerial
sports such as gliding ultra-lights

both day-and-night.
Administration
Pattaya City
has been administered under a special
autonomous system since 1978. It
has a status comparable to that
of a municipality and is administered
separately by the mayor of Pattaya
City, who is responsible for making
policies, organizing public services,
and supervising all employees of
Pattaya City Administration. |
