If this is your first visit to this vibrant coastal holiday resort, you will find an enviable choice of things to do in and around Pattaya and Jomtien.
Not only is this area world famous for lively nightlife, but there are beautiful beaches, elegant shopping malls, and a myriad of water sports for tourists to experience during the day time.
A once quiet seaside fishing village has since transformed into one of the most popular tourist destinations in Thailand.
Pattaya has become one of the preferred entertainment hubs flanked by luxury resorts and lively shopping centres.
Apart from that, foreign visitors will also find a range of unique cultural attractions, such as the Sanctuary of Truth, and coral islands nearby to try scuba diving or for snorkeling tours.
So, no matter whether you're seeking adventure or relaxation, you will find it at Pattaya, located in the eastern province of Chonburi.
But, before you make a visit to the Kingdom of Thailand, here is a comprehensive list of day tours in Pattaya with some helpful tips and advice for first timers.
There are several ways to enhance the experience before you book a day tour in Pattaya. For example, do some research on local tour operators to make sure they have good reviews, positive feedback, and they are adhering to ethical practices (e.g. animal interactions).
Group tours tend to be budget-friendly and it's a good way to meet up with fellow travelers. On the other hand, private tours provide you with a personalised experience (albeit with a higher cost).
The transport options for getting around Pattaya and Jomtien are second to none and very convenient. Remember, Baht Buses (known as songthaew in Thai language) are a cheap way to navigate the city (20 baht per trip), but the public services only follow set routes.
In the main, the weather in Thailand is very hot all year round. Even so, December through to the end of February is usually less humid, dry, and pleasant for outdoor sightseeing trips in Pattaya.
Even though average temperatures will be around 31° Celsius (88° Fahrenheit), it's always best to check the local weather forecast and prepare accordingly for participating in outdoor activities.
Pro Tip: Don't forget to wear comfortable clothing and take some high factor sunscreen, a hat for extra shade, sunglasses, and swimwear (if appropriate). Most tour operators will accept cash and Pattaya day tour prices range from eight hundred (800) to three thousand (3,000) Thai baht - depending on the specific tour.
