While not the best destination for families, for all other types of travelers Pattaya probably has something to offer. Here are links to the topics covered by ThailandForVisitors.
- Activities / Sports
- You'll find all the major water sports on offer from many outlets along both Pattaya and Jomtien beaches. There's scuba diving, wind surfing, jet and water skiing readily available.
- Beaches
- Pattaya's main attraction is its long curving beach.
- Expatriate Life
- Pattaya has become rather popular as a retirement destination for many westerners. So much so that there is an extensive support network of other expatriates to rely on for help and advice.
- Gay / Lesbian Travelers
- The Pattaya gay scene runs the gamut from the rather sleazy go-go bars of Boyz Town near central Pattaya to the country's only really gay beach.
- Shopping
- Probably because it attracts so many weekend holiday-makers from Bangkok, Pattaya has quite a few shopping centers. These offer a range of goods, from clothing to books, as well as a large number of restaurants to choose from.
