PATTAYA

Pattaya, located on Thailand’s eastern Gulf coast, is famous for its beaches. Once a peaceful fishing village in the 1960s, it has since transformed into a bustling destination filled with resort hotels, towering condos, shopping centers, cabaret bars, and round-the-clock nightclubs. Close by, the Wat Phra Yai Temple on a hillside is home to an impressive 18-meter-tall golden Buddha. The region also boasts several high-end golf courses, some offering stunning views of Pattaya Bay.
