Pattaya is located on the east coast of the Gulf of Thailand, only two hours by car from Bangkok (147km to the southeast of the city), which will shortly be reduced to 90 minutes upon completion of the new motorway currently under construction, and ideally positioned to benefit from the extensive domestic and international transport links now available since the re-design and renovation of Bangkok airport, which re-opened in September 2006.
This stateof- the-art airport, now the largest in South East Asia, cost US$4 billion and can handle 45 million passengers each year and 76 flights per hour. This means that Pattaya is only one hour away for tourists arriving into Bangkok airport. Known as the Thai Riviera, Pattaya is regarded as one of Asia’s top beach resorts; catering for every type of tourist, whether family groups, single travelers or scuba and leisure divers exploring the islands and shipwrecks off Pattaya.
White sand urban beaches where tourists can hire water sports equipment are just meters away from the array of hotels, bars and restaurants. There are more than 20 international-standard golf courses within an hour’s drive of Pattaya, designed by household names such as Jack Nicklaus and Nick Faldo. Pattaya’s other leisure attractions range from the sedate (tropical gardens, Buddhist temples, zoos, fishing and sailing) to the more active (amusement parks, museums, go-karts, horse riding and shooting ranges), ensuring a constant flow of tourists not merely looking for beach pursuits. East Meets West Pattaya is a place where east meets west due to the city’s traditional Thai character and heritage and more western entertainment and nightlife amenities. Indeed it is probably the most cosmopolitan place in Thailand after Bangkok.
Pattaya offers international dining as well as the worldrenowned Thai cuisine for well below western prices. The nightlife of Pattaya, from beach parties to sophisticated jazz clubs is diverse enough to cater to tourists of all tastes and continues until sunrise. Year-Round Season Due to Pattaya’s location on Thailand’s northern coast, to the east of Bangkok, it does not suffer from monsoons or any adverse weather conditions. This makes Pattaya and its surrounding coast a year-round resort, relatively rare in Thailand due to the widespread rainy seasons.
Domestic and International Tourism - Pattaya was Thailand’s top holiday destination for foreign tourists in 2006, with a total of 5.8 million visitors. Tourist arrivals have increased at an annual rate of 10% since 2001 with most of the growth coming from “premium” tourism (visitors who stay in four- and five-star hotels), which made up 30% of all arrivals in 2006. Since the opening of the new Suvarnabhumi Airport just outside Bangkok, Pattaya has begun to see the widespread construction of new retail facilities, entertainment and shopping centres as well as international hotel chains. All of these will benefit Pattaya.
