Pattaya is the seaside resort around the Eastern Gulf Coast of Thailand, about 150 km southeast of Bangkok. Pattaya is mostly famous for its go-go and beer bars, but local authorities make some efforts to provide more family-friendly attractions and activities. Even though the sex market is still going strong and sex tourism continues to be the key money earner for Pattaya, the accommodation also attracts local families and holidaymakers from around the globe. If you are planning being offended through the sight of fat old men hand in hand with young Thai women, then Pattaya is probably not the area for you.

Pattaya hotels - Efforts by local authorities in the last several years have improved the quality of beaches, but they're still lacklustre by Thailand's standards, and over-development has long since destroyed a number of the natural charms the region once had. However, the plethora of hotels and guest houses, and easy access in the capital and airport, make it a popular weekend getaway. Catering for more than 5 million annual visitors, Pattaya can also be in a position to present an excellent selection of eating options plus a wide variety of activities. Its human population is a colourful combination of nationalities and ethnicities from near and far.

Pattaya occupies the majority of the coastline of Bang Lamung District (one of many eleven districts that comprise Chonburi Province). This short article only deals with Pattaya proper, which spans areas to the east of Naklua Beach and Pattaya Beach, in addition to the Buddha Hill headland (that is immediately south of Pattaya Beach). Jomtien is covered in a separate article, and contains Jomtien Beach and also the areas east of it, including Dongtan Beach. The beaches of Jomtien less difficult broader and generally in the better shape, and also the atmosphere locally is more sedate and family-oriented than at Pattaya Beach.
