Attracting an international following the cosmopolitan resort of Pattaya has grown from a small fishing village into today’s much-loved beachside retreat. Welcoming up to 5 million visitors each year the resort offers more attractions in greater profusion than any other single destination in Southeast Asia.
Pattaya lies roughly 170km southeast of Bangkok, nestled along a picturesque bay on the east coast of the Gulf of Thailand.
From fishing village in the 1960's, Pattaya has emerged as the favourite SE Asian holiday centre. Facing a wide bay and a long majestic sweep of beach, Pattaya has been groomed for the international visitor over more than three decades, and today it boasts the unique distinction of a beach resort with 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 you can think of for recreation, entertainment, sightseeing and simply fun.
