As this guide to Pattaya Beach will show, there is a lot more to this 4 km crescent of coastline than just sand and sea. In fact, the beach is not even the star attraction, even if it is home to a huge number of speedboats, parasails and jet skis, as well as diving boats and floating restaurants. Pattaya Beach Road, which is just a line of palm trees away from the shore, is the place to be.
Our Pattaya Beach Guide will show you where to find the best attractions, the best shopping, the best eating and the best partying in the the main part of the sprawling conurbation now known as ‘Greater Pattaya’. Between Pattaya North Road (Pattaya Nua) and Pattaya South Road (Pattaya Tai), there is a wealth of experiences to enjoy, ensuring that you will never be bored.
Pattaya has a range of attractions, successfully appealing to the diverse interests of its visitors. While the city is well-known as a party place (with good reason), there is also something for those who like adventure, beauty, curiosities, culture or just a place in the sun. There are many family-friendly things to see and do alongside the wilder side of the city, which has achieved world renown, as well as several ways to enjoy the scenic beauty of a remarkable cityscape, sandy beaches and glorious sunsets. Our list of the 10 best attractions in Pattaya will help even regular visitors to find something new and unique in the city.
Pattaya has become synonymous with“Beach Vacation Paradise” and is known as the Hawaii of the East. Pattaya Beach which has particularly clear water and white sand, is a 3-kilometer section of the 15km coastline of Pattaya. With gentle slopes and clear sea water, it is an excellent bathing place. The northern part of the beach is quiet and there are many beautiful beach hotels and resorts for holidaymakers who wish to enjoy a quiet holiday. The southern part of the beach is home to a variety of businesses and entertainment venues, suitable for those who love crowds and excitement. During day time, there are plenty of water sports on Pattaya Beach. At night, there are lively bars on one side of the beach and the sea on the other side. The atmosphere is great.
There’s no better place to start than the most popular and most lively beach in the city – Pattaya beach. At four kilometers long, this crescent-shaped beach has plenty of space for visitors and it needs it too, with plenty of people descending upon it to take advantage of the blazing sun and warm weather. There’s more than sunbathing on offer though. Parasailing, jet skiing and the classic banana boat are all available for you to enjoy, as well as beachside shacks that can prepare your favourite Thai dish should you get peckish. It’s also home to some great parties at night, if that’s your cup of tea.
