Hospitality
Pattaya might seem like a seedy bachelors paradise but it’s much more than that, appealing to weekenders from Bangkok and popular with Russian package tourists. Like the rest of Thailand, its hotels offer that famous Thai hospitality with some exceptional beachfront hotels and spas, and some of the best value seaside resorts in the country. Of course you need to be selective; Naklua is good for family hotels and couples, while hotels near Beach Road are best for night owls looking for companions. Over at Jomtien you’ll find the Russians, but wherever you stay the food and beverage is great value and always served with a cute smile. Choose from 160 hotel deals we’ve handpicked for you from Agoda.

Pattaya travel highlights
Pattaya’s attractions are equally popular by day or night with quite a few day trips worth making. The lengthy beaches at Pattaya Bay and Jomtien are sunnier, softer and more relaxing than back home, complete with beer vendors and deckchairs. And offshore Koh Larn is perfect for those seeking a tropical paradise. Then there’s the amusement parks of Mini Siam, Nong Nooch Gardens, The Waterpark and Tiger Zoo, even the Sanctuary of Truth adds a remarkable touch of culture. But many find the nightlife the real highlight, centred around the go go bars and discos of Walking Street or the quieter beers bars in lanes off Beach Road. And let’s not forget the lovely ladies, which is what draws many to Pattaya!
