Pattaya is a seaside resort about 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 are making some efforts to supply more family-friendly attractions and activities. Although the sex industry is still going strong and sex tourism remains the key money earner for Pattaya, the place also attracts local families and holidaymakers from around the world. If you are going to be offended through the sight of fat old men together with young Thai women, then Pattaya is typically not the area for you.

Pattaya city - Efforts by local authorities over the past couple of years have improved the quality of the beaches, but they are still lacklustre by Thailand's standards, and over-development has for many years destroyed some of the natural charms the location once suffered from. However, the plethora of hotels and guest houses, and simple access from your capital and airport, turn it into a popular weekend getaway. Catering for over five million annual visitors, Pattaya can also be in a position to offer an excellent array of eating options along with a wide variety of things to do. Its population is a vibrant mixture of nationalities and ethnicities from near and far.

Pattaya occupies most of the coastline of Bang Lamung District (among the eleven districts that define Chonburi Province). This short article only deals with Pattaya proper, which spans areas towards the east of Naklua Beach and Pattaya Beach, in addition to the Buddha Hill headland (that is immediately south of Pattaya Beach). Jomtien is protected inside a separate article, and has Jomtien Beach and also the areas east from it, including Dongtan Beach. The beaches of Jomtien are much broader and usually in the better shape, as well as the atmosphere locally is more sedate and family-oriented than at Pattaya Beach.
