Overview :
Pattaya is always switched on and fun. Experience spirituality at its stunning temples, enjoy shopping at the many shopping malls, weekend bazaars and floating amrkets or soak in the Thai culture by way of its delectable cuisine full of flavours and fragrances - all here in Pattaya. With its many attractions, shopping, dining and entertainment options, Pattaya is a delight for holidaymakers. Add to that, its proximity to Bangkok makes it an easy reach; and apart from water sports and nightlife, Pattaya offers endless possibilities when it comes to accommodation and entertainment, and a variety of things to do are some of the many good things about Pattaya. This vibrant coastal city shot to fame in early 1980s, and stayed there. From sunrise to sunset, Pattaya’s beaches are constantly brimming with life, as water sports lovers and sun worshippers take to the waters. After dark, the action shifts to the streets, as revellers explore its electrified nightlife scene, where drinking and partying continue until dawn. It has outgrown its image as a seedy beach town to a destination for a wider audience; whether couples, families or business travellers, Pattaya has something for everyone.

This is also the peak tourist season and most beaches and other places of attraction are packed with visitors. One can expect short spells of rain and regular days of bright sunshine. But do try to make all your bookings in advance because places get sold out and prices tend to rise.
March to May: The weather becomes hot and humid during the months of March, April and May but nevertheless the influx of tourists remains high. While the beaches are busy during this period, they aren’t as crowded as during the peak season. Be sure to carry plenty of sunscreen lotion, sunglasses and a hat.
June to October: Pattaya experiences heavy rainfall from June to October and if you’re looking to enjoy Pattaya at its quiet best, then the rainy season is ideal. The beaches are much less crowded, temperature is not too high and hotel accommodation naturally becomes cheaper. Many people prefer to travel to Pattaya, especially during July and August, when rainfall is considerably lower and accommodation prices are more favourable. Don't forget to pack a sturdy pair of shoes to handle the rains!
Overview :
Bangkok is always among the world’s top tourist destinations. The city is a true tourist paradise. The 'City of Angels' has funky markets, upmarket malls, a riverside full of surprises, a vibrant nightlife scene, many fabulous sights and attractions that reflect its unique heritage, great city of immortals, magnificent city of the nine gems, seat of the king, city of royal palaces, home of gods incarnate, erected by Visvakarman at Indra’s behest and much, much more. To the outside world, the capital of Thailand has long been known as Bangkok, but this is not what the Thai people call it; it is officially known as Krung Thep Maha Nakhon. Bangkok is by far the largest city in Thailand. The city has sprawled out, especially since the boom of the 1980s. Today the city is divided into fifty districts with 35 of them located on the east bank of the Chao Phraya River, and only 15 on the western bank. As if 50 districts wasn’t enough, these are further subdivided into 169 subdistricts. There are a great variety of tourist places in Bangkok, mostly historical attractions and temples with elaborate architecture and art. Famous temples are Wat Phra Kaew, Wat Pho, Wat Arun, Wat Phu Khao Thong, Wat Ratchanadda, Wat Traimit, Wat Benchamabophit, Wat Bowon, and Wat Sutat. There are also palaces, museums, parks, and a big array of shopping places, from luxury malls to flea and street markets like Chatuchak Weekend Market, Sampeng Market, and Pahurat Textile Market. Largest Chinatown in the world is also in Bangkok. Bangkok is famous for its nightlife, from go-go bars to beer bars, nightclubs to sky bars, but if you’re seeking out one of the most spectacular places to enjoy a drink it has to be a sky bar. Sky bars are named as such because they’re usually located in high up places, on the tops of buildings, where they offer fabulous views and settings.
