Things to Do in Pattaya, Thailand

Visitors to Pattaya in Thailand often think immediately of the beach (and well they should with so much going on there) or the nightlife (with its infamous reputation), but don’t overlook the following when spending time in this great city:

Water Sports
The number of water sports available in Pattaya is mind-boggling. Try your hand at sailing, wind-surfing, jet skiing, para-sailing, kayaking or banana-boating. Plus, if you feel like it, mix a boat ride to the outlying islands with some fishing or snorkeling.

Eating out
All along both Jomtien and Pattaya beaches you will find some great restaurants offering a mixture of Thai and Western cuisine. Make sure you try the seafood and look for the restaurants that Thais are eating at, as they will be the ones with the freshest ingredients!

Amusement parks
In and around Pattaya, there are a couple of parks that should form part of any visit, especially for families with children. Underwater World boasts a fantastic aquarium with many activities for visitors. For something a little more adventurous, try Funnyland Amusement Park, with its carnival rides. Alternatively, Pattaya Water Park offers similar fun, of a watery kind.

Shopping
Pattaya has a number of modern shopping centres, together with a couple of great factory outlet malls offering brand names at fantastic prices. Just make sure you have enough space in your suitcases. Remember too that tourists can claim back on the VAT.

Museums with a twist
Nearby, Mini Siam offers a glimpse into Thailand’s past, with mini being the operative word, since everything this reconstruction boasts scaled down miniatures of historic buildings. Otherwise, check out Ripley’s Believe It or Not for a museum visit with a difference.

Other Sports
Pattaya has some gorgeous golf courses (no need to bring your own gear if you are struggling with luggage already), as well as a number of great go-karting courses. You can also try out paintball or laser tag.

Wildlife Parks
If you are more interested in seeing some of Thailand’s more exotic wildlife, there are a number of parks that offer a taste of nature. Sriracha Tiger Zoo offers a close (very close) look at these magnificent wild cats. The Million Years Stone Park and Pattaya Crocodile Farm mixes plant and animal life in its beautiful grounds. Alternatively, visit Nong Nooch Tropical Garden for a glimpse into Thailand’s amazing flora. And of course no visit to Thailand is complete without experiencing the elephants who have their own Elephant Village in Pattaya.

With all of the above (and more) on offer, it is easy to spend 2 weeks in Pattaya and still not see it all.

Here's the weather report for Pattaya. If you don't understand Fahreinheit like me, then use this web site here to convert to celsius. Fahrenheit to Celsius converter

Let me tell you a little bit about the weather here in Thailand. By Thailand I mean the central region, Bangkok, Pattaya and other cities.

I have been living here practically my whole life and it seems to me like there are only 3 seasons here. HOT, HOTTER and HOTTEST Most foreigners and Thais alike would find it real bad walking out in the sun.

My tip for you is to always carry some water.It can get really hot in April, infact this is the hottest time of the year.

The Thais celebrate their New year festival on the 13th of April or as they call it "Song Kran" (water throwing festival). This is one of the festivals that I enjoy very much.

During 13th to 15th of April "Song Kran" is celebrated in Bangkok, and from 18th - 19th of April in Pattaya. I don't understand why they celebrate this on a different dates in different cities.

"Song Kran" is the time when everybody splash water at each other. Traditionally this was celebrated to cool people down from the extremely hot weather. ITS FUN! :D

Pattaya celebrate the best "Song Kran", I believe. People from all other cities come to Pattaya during 18th - 19th of April each year. Don't be surprised if you see traffic in Pattaya during this time.

Rainy season usually happens in the middle of June and last until the end of August. But again I am tired of predicting the weather here, you just can never guess when it is going to rain.
