Pattaya travel guide · Asia
Pattaya is a vibrant seaside resort on Thailand's Eastern Gulf Coast, about 150 km southeast of Bangkok. Famous for its lively nightlife, Walking Street, and wide range of activities from watersports to golf, it attracts millions of visitors annually. While its beaches are modest by Thai standards, its accessibility, diverse dining scene, and entertainment options make it one of Southeast Asia's most popular getaways.
The dry season from November to March offers the best weather with lower humidity, less rain, and calmer seas, ideal for beach activities and watersports.
