Pattaya
Beaches, water sports and big-city amenities two hours from Bangkok.
Pattaya has reinvented itself with family attractions, golf courses and a growing food scene alongside its famous nightlife. Take the ferry to Koh Larn for the area's clearest water, walk the Pratumnak hill viewpoints, and time your visit for a beachfront seafood dinner at Jomtien. Its proximity to Bangkok makes it the easiest beach escape in Thailand.
