Pattaya is always switched on and fun. This vibrant coastal city shot to fame in early 1980s, and stayed there. From sunrise to sunset, Pattaya’s beaches are constantly brimming with life, as water sports lovers and sun worshippers take to the waters. After dark, the action shifts to the streets, as revellers explore its electrified nightlife scene, where drinking and partying continue until dawn.

Apart from water sports and nightlife, Pattaya offers endless possibilities when it comes to accommodation and entertainment. It has outgrown its image as a seedy beach town to a destination for a wider audience; whether couples, families or business travellers, Pattaya has something for everyone. Only 147km from Bangkok, Pattaya is the closest of Thailand's major beach resorts to the capital city. Not convinced yet? See our 10 Must See and Do list.

The city is home to many unique attractions and sights, from one-of-a-kind water parks to giant Buddha images to weird and wonderful museums and galleries which completely defy expectation.

Pattaya Naughty Guide

Pattaya is notorious for its naughty nightlife and we can’t deny that parts of the city are dedicated almost exclusively to ‘that kind of thing’. Walking Street is only a small part of this, with some of the less well-known parts of the city offering even more illicit experiences. Soi LK Metro is a lot like Walking Street, only without the distraction of restaurants, shops and nightclubs – just the go-go bars. The infamous Soi 6 is even more direct in its naughtiness, though it becomes increasingly important to be able to tell the girlie bars from the ladyboy bars!
