Pattaya's not just about channeling the feel-good vibes of Thailand's tropical beaches. It can also be your ticket to some mystical Buddhist shrines and temples. In fact, the whole town is watched over by a golden Buddha effigy, sitting up on the appropriately named Buddha Hill. Head there for some awesome sunset views that see Pattaya Bay turn shades of yellow, pink and red in the evening. At the base of the statue is the Wat Phra Yai Temple, a montage of mystical snake carvings and spinning prayer wheels that's often wreathed in incense.
Pattaya is master of the dual arts of daytime chilling and nocturnal hedonism. If you're keen on hitting the shore with the whole family, you might want to consider booking Pattaya vacation rentals that dot the yellow-hued powder of Jomtien Beach, in the south. If you're looking to crank up the romance, a secluded villa overlooking Wong Phrachan Beach might be better. To be in the thick of the action, between Thai boxing rings and sleepless cocktail bars, you'll find the pads around hedonistic Walking Street to your liking.
Thailand's tropical climate swings between 2 seasons in the southern Gulf region. Roughly speaking, the rains start around May and last all the way through until November. That's when the so-called dry season starts. However, it's rarely entirely without downpours, as the name might suggest, especially if you're looking to book Pattaya vacation rentals before Christmas. Still, the days will invariably be hot – think temperatures in the high 80s – and laden with sun, so there's loads of time to soak up rays on Pattaya Beach.
Pattaya spreads out along the Thai Gulf just south of Bangkok. It's one of the first major seaside resorts outside of the capital, which ensures the main beachfront of Pattaya Bay is usually packed during the dry season. Don't worry – there are loads of places you can go to escape the crowds. Northwards is Naklua, home to more secluded Wong Amat Beach and the casuarina-shaded arc of Crescent Moon Beach. Even more of an escape is the island of Ko Lan. It's got white-sand bays, like Tawaen Beach, to kick back on and swathes of underwater coral reefs.
The nearest airport is in Pattaya (PYX-Pattaya Airpark), located 7.2 mi (11.5 km) from the city center. If you're unable to find a flight that fits your schedule, you might consider flying into Utapao (UTP-Utapao Intl.), which is 17.9 mi (28.8 km) away.
If you'd rather travel by train, make your way to Pattaya Station or Pattaya Tai Station to see more of the city.
