PATTAYA
Just 2 hours from Bangkok, Pattaya is Thailand’s playground by the sea — where city energy meets beachy vibes.
By night, Pattaya comes alive with neon lights, live music, and the legendary Walking Street, packed with shows, seafood, and surprises around every corner.
But Pattaya’s not just party-central — there are peaceful temples, floating markets, and even hilltop viewpoints with sunset scenes to melt your heart.
Whether you’re here to chill, thrill, or just eat your way through the night markets, Pattaya’s got something wild, weird, or wonderful waiting for you.
