BIG BUDDHA IMAGE
by RoyJava
When going from Pattaya to the beach of JomTien just the top of the head-dress of the golden Big Buddha image is to be seen. In a little park you may visit this Big Buddha statue and see also the 7 Buddhas for each day of the week. A lovely and peaceful area to stay for a while. I love to be close at the tall Phra Buddha Sukhothai, the Big Buddha statue. And climbing the stairs, with the beautifully decorated Nagas, or mythical snakes. The Tuesday Buddha is very special to me. Because Tuesday sometimes is dedicated to the Goddess, and downstairs of the Big Buddha area the little sacred environment, dedicated to Kun Iam/Quan Yin, is located, the Goddess of Mercy & Special Dedication. Super !!!
Food and Clothings
by Ah_jack about Lotus
There is 2 Lotus at Pattaya... just like the Big C Supermarket, its sell almost everything you wants.
Buy anything from there at fixed prices and don't need to worry of being cheated by the prices. Its sure worth the prices.
Hiring A Taxi to Pattaya
by Arjaree
Another way to go to Pattaya without any hassle is to hire a taxi. This is not a cheap choice but pretty comfortable.
Last time,about a month ago, me and my friend hired a taxi to Pattaya for one day. We paid 1,500BHT, including the toll way fee. The driver took us there and offered to take us around but we only wanted to sit on the Jomtien beach. Then, by 5.30pm we left the beach and back to Bangkok.
If you want only one ride, you should not pay more than 1,000BHT. Bargain.
Visit the Computer Store
by gaolei
People always ask if there is a computer store in Pattaya that is like the Pantip plaza in Bangkok. Well, Yes there is. It is know locally as Tuckcom. It is about six floors of computers, cameras, phones, and, of course, pirate software, DVDs and MP3 disks.
