Pattaya, located on the Gulf of Thailand, is often called “Thailand’s favorite seaside resort”.  A short two-hour drive from Bangkok takes you to an incredible tropical paradise by the sea.  If ever a town existed for holiday-makers, it is Pattaya; this leads many visitors to extend – and extend again – their stays in the myriad hotels and resorts in the area.

You name it, and Pattaya has it.  You can find all those wild and exotic things you’ve heard about Thailand, often within a half-hour drive of the city center, including an amazing zoo with tigers, crocodiles, and even ostrich races; Southeast Asia’s most acclaimed tropical garden, which just happens to also have elephant shows, kick boxing, and cock fights; and the incredible Mini Siam, where you can take in scores of Thai historical and religious sites all at once – in miniature!

The seaside climate and relaxed marine lifestyle, all available for a song, entices its guests to return time and time again.
