Walking Street

Walking Street, Pattaya

 11 Reviews  About half way down Walking street, there is a place where the Ladyboys congregate. Don't worry, they won't bite you, well, they will, but you have to pay. When you see an incredibly good looking woman with a fantastic body, chances are you are seeing a Ladyboy. How can you tell for sure, besides... 

Pattaya Beach

Pattaya Beach, Pattaya

 28 Reviews  There are certainly way more beautiful and clean beaches in Thailand, but Pattaya beach is good enough for sunworshippers. Though I am not sure if I would take a dip. Since most come to Pattaya for the adult nightlife, think of the beach as an added bonus. The beach is located on the southern end of...

Jomtien Beach

Jomtien Beach, Pattaya

 13 Reviews  Looking for a good area in Pattaya for couples or families? Go to Jomtien Beach area. It's much cleaner and far less hookers and go go bars compared to the main Pattaya beach and walking street area. Always a good idea to check a room before renting it. Some might by dirty and funky odor smell from... 

Sri Racha Tiger Zoo

Sri Racha Tiger Zoo, Pattaya

 11 Reviews  It was back it 1997 (pre-bird flu era) when I visited Sri Racha Tiger Zoo. We filmed a travelogue back then about Thailand and this was part of my 13-day itinerary. Sri Racha is in the southeast part from Bangkok. We traveled via a rented van courtesy of Tourism Authority of Thailand. I saw metal...

Water Sports

Water Sports, Pattaya

 5 Reviews  Parasailing is another high-flying sport that's been very popular in Pattaya's list of things to do. Done here with the aid of a powerboat, this is definitely a 'bigger' boys and girls activity. Operators for these high-flying views can be found along the Pattaya Beach. This activity was part our...

Street Food

Street Food, Pattaya

 10 Reviews  Street food can be delicious and cheap. But as you know Thai sanitary standards are not up to par as they are in the west. Recommend you get your medical shots before going to Thailand. First two weeks I ate street food and stall food. Most of it was fresh and delicious. But most street vendors have... 

King Seafood Restaurant

King Seafood Restaurant, Pattaya

 3 Reviews  The best place to have seafood is at Tops Super. It is located at crossroads between Central Pattaya Rd, and 2nd Rd. They also serve Thai and Indian food. But be careful: the Indian food is cooked once in a week and they keep reheating it everyday. Unless you are sure its fresh, my advice is not to... 

Nightlife  

Walking Street

Walking Street, Pattaya

 28 Reviews  I've been in Pattaya for manny years and now the mean drag - walking street - is just a hot spot for families and couples. Live music and walking over the heads (so busy) it was in beginning may 2011. No nude any more. for that you have to be at the two streets (just before or past Shark. just walk... 

Cabaret Shows

Cabaret Shows, Pattaya

 10 Reviews  Simply breathtaking show and it is trully a colourful extravaganza with backdrop of Thai culture. The lavish sets,theme and shimmering dresses bring the stage alive. The comical muses and lovely ladies (or should I call them boys !!!) make the show a "must see". Though this show is not at par with... 

Transportation  

Buses to Pattaya

Buses to Pattaya, Pattaya

 21 Reviews  We were booked by Raj Travels in our transfer service provided by local Thailand tourist agency. We landed in Suvarnabhumi airport early morning and picked up at the airport for the transfer. The journey of 110 km roughly took 2 and half hours to cover including a break on the way. The coach was in... 

Taxis / Song-taews / Baht-buses

Taxis / Song-taews / Baht-buses, Pattaya

 31 Reviews  If you are a season "Thai travelers", you should know the about cost of taxis to Pattaya and you should know what to expect to pay....being a "season Thai travelers" Siam Bayview hotel would be good for your hotel in Pattaya, The Green Hotel is my old standby and has a pool and clean rooms next to a... 

Limousines from Bangkok Airport

Limousines from Bangkok Airport, Pattaya

 8 Reviews  Pattaya Taxi service is the easiest, cheapest car to Pattaya that I have found. It is easy to arrange, just send an email from their web page giving your name, arrival time and flight number. They take care of the rest. On the last trip, I used their service. I sent the required email and got a... 

Shopping  

Royal Garden Plaza

Royal Garden Plaza, Pattaya

 12 Reviews  Royal Garden Plaza is a large shopping mall located at Pattaya and it's famous for Ripley's Believe it or Not Museum.
