Pattaya is a phenomenon. Once a tiny fishing village, it has
developed into a renowned international playground. Colourful
and alive with activities, it is unrivalled as a beach resort,
offering more attractions in greater profusion than any other
single destination in Southeast Asia.
Located just 150 km. southeast of Bangkok and facing a wide
bay and a long majestic sweep of beach, Pattaya has been
groomed for international visitors over more than three decades,
and today it boasts the unique distinction of a beach resort with
a city status. This near paradoxical situation holds the key to
Pattaya’s rare attraction - it has something for everyone. Whereas
most other beach resorts rely simply on natural surroundings for
their charm, Pattaya makes an all-out attempt to provide the best
of everything in an exhaustive mix of facilities. To the basic
ingredient of a superb coastal location, it adds just about every
other amenity one can think of for recreation, entertainment,
sightseeing and fun.
