Located about 160 kilometres south of Bangkok, Pattaya was once just a quiet coastal fishing town.

Today, this sun-soaked piece of paradise thrives with tourists eager to experience its unique blend of unprecedented relaxation and lively nightlife. Apart from the spicy cabarets, massage parlours and go-go bars that Pattaya is most famous for, this dream holiday destination offers an enthralling selection of other attractions – from rather over-crowded but well-maintained beaches to some high-end restaurants, hundreds of recreational activities, bazaar-type markets, and excursions to nearby tranquil spots and offshore islands.
