Pattaya City is a popular coastal beach destination on the Gulf of Thailand; located on the southeast of Bangkok with easy access just over an hour’s drive.

The destination is home to some renowned hotel brands such as Lifestyle branded Pullman Pattaya Hotel G, Mövenpick and Renaissance.

Further to this, the destination welcomes a large number of diverse visitors from across the world, there’s no surprise that modern travelers are still seeking multicultural experiences where in the present day, Pattaya has all the characteristics of the needs of a globetrotter: superb restaurants, good entertainment and countless leisure pursuits, amazing Golf Experiences and some of Asia’s largest Water Parks including Cartoon Network and Ramayana.
