Thailand

Located 50 kilometres south of Bangkok, Pattaya is Thailand’s biggest beach resort, with a lush, tropical ambience, water sports, theme parks and a lively nightlife.

Travellers’ Secrets

Island escapes

For great snorkelling and idyllic beaches, take a trip to the offshore islands of Ko Larn, Ko Krok and Ko Sak. Just seven kilometres from Pattaya, ferries leave regularly from the South Pier. You can also do day trips in glass bottomed boats.

Exotic nightlife

For a different night out, don’t miss Alcazar or Tiffany’s: larger-than-life transvestite cabaret bars which claim to rival Paris’ Moulin Rouge! Decadence and elegance are promised in an all-singing, all-dancing show spectacular!

Fun for the children

Children will enjoy Mini Siam, a miniature world featuring replicas of 80 of Thailand’s most sacred and important historical sites including the Temple of the Emerald Buddha and the Bridge over the River Kwai.
