Pattaya grew from a fishing village into one of Thailand's largest beach resorts, spread along a curving bay with a promenade and a pier. The beach is busy, jet-skis and boats cross the water, and the evening brings crowds to Walking Street, a neon-lit strip of bars, restaurants and live music. Jomtien Beach, a few kilometres south, is calmer.
Away from the front, the Sanctuary of Truth is a vast carved teak building on the shore, begun in the 1980s, and Wat Yansangwararam is a quiet temple with gardens and lakes. Nong Nooch Tropical Garden has orchids and palms, and boats cross in under an hour to Koh Larn, a small island with clearer water and beaches. Bangkok is about two hours away by road, and the islands of Rayong lie to the south-east.
Seafood grilled over charcoal, spicy som tam papaya salad, noodle soups, pad thai and mango with sticky rice are all on the menu, from beachside tables to night markets. Pattaya is hot all year; the months between November and February feel the coolest and are the easiest for sightseeing, while rain falls mostly between June and October.
