Pattaya for Shy Guys

Pattaya is a beach resort, about 2 hours by car from Bangkok. However, you don't need to go to Bangkok first to come to Pattaya. You can make the decision at the Bangkok airport (Suvarnabhuml Airport). Head west from the airport for Bangkok or head south for Pattaya.

…Sometimes I think to myself something bad has to happen because life in Pattaya is so good, surely I am living some kind of dream? But that is not the case; Pattaya offers us foreigners a fantastic life and it’s a reality…

Because Pattaya is not an island, you can still enjoy all the modern amenities at competitive prices. Pattaya is mini-Bangkok with beaches.

…Pattaya is popular not only as a beach resort and for its entertainment, nightlife and shopping, but also for the broad selection of recreational activities it caters for, from golf and horseback riding to bungee jumping, karting and shooting, not to mention a wide variety of water sports…

Add Pattaya to your Bangkok trip. Stay for two or three days.
