Pattaya - A great destination in Thailand

by sarahreynold - last update: Jul 8, 2007

Pattaya

Rabbit Resort at Jomtien Beach Pattaya
Pattaya is of course one of Thailand's most famous destinations. The mistake so many people makes is that there is just so much more to the Pattaya than the busy city are. The central area of pattaya is certainly busy with shops, restaurants, bars and nightlife, but those restaurants include some superb Pattaya restaurant, entertainment ranges from small bars to exccellent night spots. The main beach is a city beach, so don't expect too much, but north and south of the City area are beaches such as Naklua to the north and Jomtien beach to the south. Go beyond Jomtien and you can find some lovely quiet beach hotels and resorts.
There are the fabulous Vegas style shows at Tiffany's and Alcazar, and the amazing Alangkarn Show. Underwaterworld, Ripley's Believe it or Not, day trips to Koh Larn Island and just so much more. Certainly there is a great deal more to Pattaya than simply entertainment.

Pattaya Hotels

Pattaya has a huge choice of hotels ranging from budget Pattaya hotels to top luxury Pattaya hotels. There are also small hotels and boutique hotels in Pattaya. Overall Pattaya hotel rates are cheap and overall you get excellent value for money even from the inexpensive hotels in Pattaya.
Pattaya also has luxury hotels and resorts including the famous Dusit resort Pattaya, the Marriott resort Pattaya, the Pattaya Sheraton. The Hard Rock Hotel is justly famous as a great place to stay in Pattaya. There are also countless holiday and vacation hotels, the Ambassador City at Jomtien is claimed to be the world's largest hotel, well at least one of the largest.
I have always had good service from hotels in Pattaya and so whatever your hotel budget you are certain to find a great choice of resorts and hotels in Pattaya Thailand.

Pattaya Beaches

Pattaya is a large city, is is not a small place ! There is a beach that runs along the front of Pattaya and there are also beaches both north and south of the busy central area of Pattaya.

In A Nutshell:"Pattaya is just 90 minutes from bangkok Airport or City, it makes a great fun holiday or vacation destination if you want a resort area with plenty of shopping, restaurants, entertainment and attractions to visit."
