Overview | Shopping | Dining | Accommodation | Attractions | Beach | Festival | Transportation

Pattaya bay has its own beach becoming much cleaner over a couple of years ago. The half-moon-shaped Pattaya Beach is 3 kilometres in length in line with a street running parallel to the beach. There is a vast array of restaurants, open-air bars, department stores, souvenir shops, nightlife venues e.g. go-go bars. Most visitors prefer the nearby Jomtien beach which is a short bus ride from the centre of Pattaya. Windsurfing, para-sailing, water scooters, and swimming are some of the more water sport activities on offer, or you may prefer a relaxing massage. Food and drink can be ordered from beach vendors.

Pattaya Beach is one of the country's most famous beaches paralleled by a tree-lined promenade and road. The beach curves from north to south for about 4 kilometre in length. The central and southern parts of Pattaya Beach are alive with water sport activities, and shopping venues while Central Pattaya is a major shopping area with many department stores and South Pattaya is one of Pattaya's famous nightlife zones with restaurants, bars, discotheques, nightclubs.

Pattaya Beach
The main attraction of Pattaya is its long curving beach. Stretching to the south, the hill rises and extends well into the sea. On top of the hill is a temple with a large-seated Buddha at the crown. There is a good panoramic view of beautiful Pattaya bay from this hill-top temple. Apart from the hill in the southern end of Pattaya is Jomtien beach which is another long beach side. The water level is slightly deeper than that of Pattaya, and the section just south of the hill is very popular with local people. There are many sections here where you can rent a beach chair and order food and drinks from staff serving. Numerous beach vendors also walk pass by selling fruits, ice cream and many other things including beach massage.

Jomtien Beach
This 6-kilometre long, largely straighten beach, some 4 kilometres south of Pattaya, is the most notable of several beaches. Jomtien Beach is popular with windsurfers and water sports enthusiasts, mainly because the area enjoys the brisk and fresh breezes sweeping the inland from Gulf of Thailand where the ocean is less congested with boats than that of Pattaya Bay. This beach is also a major residential area with beacheside hotels, bungalow complexes, condominiums, restaurants, and entertainment venues.

Wong Prachan Beach
Wong Prachan Beach is on the northern side of Pattaya Bay. This one kilometre beach shares the same entrance as the Central Wong Amat Hotel. A quiet spot where the beach is ideal for swimming and relaxation.

Ko Lan

Ferries to the island leave South Pattaya pier daily from 10.00 a.m. to 6.30 p.m. Cruises by sailing junks, with lunch provided are also available.
