With more than five million visitors each year, Pattaya has built and maintains a reputation for a popular vacation spot. There are no direct flights offered from the UK to Pattays's U-Tapao Airport. You can however get a connecting flight via Bangkik Airlines from Phuket. Most flights into Phuket originate from Bangkik its only 150km from Pattaya so it is the easiest to fly into Bankkik and get to Pattaya via the road.
When you decide to fly, you should make sure if there is room for you and anyone else that you are flying with. You need to decide if you want first class or coach. And when you arrive make sure that you have your rental car ready. That way you don't have wait in any lines to get your car. Also make sure you can really get to Pattaya in 30 minutes or if there is going to be any problems getting there on time.
In the last few years, Pattaya has tried to draw families of visitors with a new image. The beer bars and go-go joints have been de-emphasized, and now families from Thailand and from all over Asia visit Pattaya in large numbers. The beaches nearby are excellent, and many kinds of entertainment can be found, ranging from shooting to golf to bungee jumping.
If you wish to brave the erratic (by Western standards) traffic, you can hire a car, motorbike or scooter.Also called Baht Busses, are available throughout Pattaya,the songthaew, public passenger pick-up vehicles.You may also choose the local bus, motorbike taxi, or meter taxi.Getting around Pattaya offers its own options.
Pattaya sees the most visitors around Christmas and New Year's, when visitors want to go somewhere sunny and warm. Several of Pattaya's beaches are very popular, such as Pattaya Beach near the city center. Pattaya Beach has many stores, hotels, and nightspots nearby. Many jetskis, powerboats, and deckchairs are available for rent in the area.
There is a popular place for families just south of the city called Jomtein Beach. If you don't wish to go to the beach, there is an entertainment complex at Pattaya Park, which features a water park, monorail, roller coaster, and activities for the children.
Pattaya is home to wonderful islands and spectacular beaches. To the north of Pattaya are the Near Islands, whereas the western side is home to Far Islands. If you wish to visit Ko Lan or Coral Island, you will need a ferry service or a speedboat to reach them.
