Briefly about the important
- When booking tours to Pattaya, it is important to know that the international airport is located 40 km from the city, and therefore you will have to take care of the transfer.
- The entire coastal strip at the resort is occupied by beaches. In the very center of the city, the water can be rather muddy during the high season, and therefore it is better to book hotels in the north or south of the beach area.
- A guided tour of Madame Nong's Botanical Garden should take its place on the must-do list on your Pattaya tour. One of the most beautiful parks in Southeast Asia invites guests to get acquainted with hundreds of amazingly beautiful orchid species.
- For children and adults, the resort has many farms where you can see performances with animals. Tigers and crocodiles, elephants and monkeys willingly demonstrate their skills under the vigilant control of homo sapiens.
- For lovers of a particularly clean sea, old-timers recommend sunbathing and swimming on Koh Lan Island, located in the Pattaya area. On the islands you can go paragliding and diving, go fishing and try to catch a wave on the surf.
Golden buddha
Among the attractions worth visiting during your tour to Pattaya is the Golden Buddha, carved into the side of Khao Chi cliff. Its height exceeds 100 meters, and the image is dedicated to the half-century anniversary of the reign of King Rama IX.
Despite the fairly young age of the sight, which was opened in 1996, the Buddha enjoys great attention of tourists coming to the resort.
