Pattaya at
a glance :
Make famous
during the Vietnam war in the 70’s Pattaya is now an international
holiday resort. Arguably Thailand’s best known resort, Pattaya has
everything to offer. Fine brand hotels, exhilarating night life
and disco’s, 15 excellent golf courses, and every available choice
of International and Asian cuisine. Not for the faint hearted,
Pattaya’s night life evolves around its go-go bars, and girl bars,
which are mostly located in mid and South Pattaya. For the
traveler seeking a quieter break , Jomtien Beach is a bit more tame, with a
relaxed atmosphere and good restaurants and bars, it’s a good
retreat from the hustle and bustle
Shopping hints :
Royal Garden
Shopping Plaza, located on Pattaya beach road.
Beach Road stalls
and shops.
Places to see :
Koh Lan Island
a 40 minute boat
trip from Pattaya Pier, takes us to Koh , then why not try some parasailing or hire a
jet-ski from the beach. Nice beach and lots of small restaurants
makes Koh Lan a nice day out while in Pattaya.
* SCUBA diving

10 Million year
old stone park :
This is a zoo and
animal show park, set in an area with prehistoric stones, and
fossilized tree trunks, a nice place for a family day out where
you can be photographed holding and feeding some rare and
dangerous animals ( controlled of course!) also you can take part
( not in person!) in crocodile feeding.
