You will fall under the spell of the area’s beauty, which you can experience at sunset along the beach every night, and in places like the lush Nong Nooch Garden.
The local culture is rich and has deep roots, with Buddhist, Confucian, and Taoist influences. It is also a tolerant, modern society where everyone is welcomed by legendary Thai hospitality. From the neon lights of the nightclub district to the sparkling waters of the Gulf, Pattaya is ready to show you the time of your life.
