Things to do in Pattaya
Pattaya is an overly stimulating experience for anyone visiting Thailand. It's a place to have whatever fun you want and need. Travelers from every corner of the world come to this hyperactive coastal city, to get the chance to witness Thailand's looser and whacky side. The city is notoriously famous for its "redlight" atmosphere, flamboyant aesthetic vibe and high-strung activities, where tourists are spoilt for choice between pubs, clubs, beach-parties and massage parlors, mainly located on the famous Walking Street and Beach Road. But aside from its surging touristy personality, Pattaya does still preserves some of its cultural charms. Stepping away from the busy city center, tourists can still experience enchanting sights, unique to Thailand, such as the Sanctuary of Truth, the sacred Wat Yansangwararam, the monumental Khao Chi-Chang Buddha Mountain, the Big Buddha Pattaya (Phra Yai) and, of course, the gorgeous floating markets, not to mention its countless beautiful beaches.
