Best At Thailand Holidays

To reach Pattaya from the UK, one must fly into Suvarnabhumi International Airport and travel approximately one hour by motorway to Pattaya. Western visitors generally prefer to holiday in Pattaya during the dry winter months (November to January). Although Christmas and the New Year are the high season for Pattaya holidays, the warm tropical climate means that Pattaya resorts and hotels receive visitors throughout the year. Pattaya is a lively city which offers endless options and a wide range of activities for all ages, preferences, and travel budgets. Pattaya hotels and serviced flats are plentiful in every price range and cheap holidays to Pattaya can be arranged in advance through a variety of Pattaya deals. A Pattaya holiday can be virtually anything you want it to be. Renowned for its vibrant nightlife, Pattaya is much more than a ‘pleasure-seeker’s paradise’. The numerous beach resorts, wide array of water sports, leisure parks and lavish tropical gardens make Pattaya holidays a perfect option for families with children, as well as for singles and couples, both young and old. The city has a truly superb range of dining choices, trendy shops and Thai style street markets, and you can also plan excursions to destinations on the outskirts of Pattaya. Going on holidays to Pattaya is a truly unique experience because of the diversity of activities and attractions that are available. The city’s 15 km-long scenic coastline and its tropical climate (water temperatures are in the vicinity of 28°C throughout the year) make it an ideal beach holiday destination. Pattaya resorts  offer a dizzying selection of fun activities and water sports and Pattaya is also one of the oldest diving centres in South East Asia. However, a holiday in Pattaya is certainly not limited to enjoying the sunny beaches and related activities. Sports lovers who holiday in Pattaya can practice all manner of extreme sports, such as bungee jumping and motorcycle racing. A Pattaya holiday can also be a golfer’s dream come true; the city has over twenty championship-standard golf courses, and several package holiday Pattaya deals are centred around golf. Like all of Thailand, Pattaya is famous for its spas.

Upscale spa salons abound at the junction of Beach Road and South Pattaya Road, and most Pattaya hotels have spa centres where you can get real Thai massages. An exciting modern city, Pattaya is internationally famous for its exhilarating nightlife, offering everything from British-style pubs to world class discotheques. There are many attractions to visit when on holiday in Pattaya. Popular Pattaya holiday excursions for families with children are Pattaya Underwater World aquarium and Mini Siam (a miniature town featuring replicas of some of Thailand’s historical and religious sites). Adults and children alike enjoy visiting Nong Nooch Village, about 18 km outside of Pattaya, to watch traditional dancers, ride elephants and walk in one of the largest orchid gardens in the world. While on holiday in Pattaya, be sure to visit Khao Pattaya (Budha Hill), to the south of Pattaya Beach, to take in the breathtaking view of Pattaya City and Bay. Every holiday in Pattaya should also include a boat trip to at least one of the islands off the coast. Koh Larn Island, only a 40 minute boat ride from Pattaya, provides a pleasant change from some of the noisier Pattaya beaches. To visit a genuine Thai fishing community and take a break from the resort city atmosphere of Pattaya, include a trip to Ko Si Chang Island in your Pattaya holiday plans. This involves travelling to Ko Loy in Siracha, about 30 km to the north of Pattaya, and taking a 45 minute ferry ride, but it is well worth the effort.
There is no shortage of hotels for every budget in the ever-expanding city of Pattaya. Although some top class Pattaya hotels are in the centre of the city, most Pattaya resorts and 4 and 5-star Pattaya hotels are located in North Pattaya and Naklua, an exclusive suburb. Unlike other Pattaya resorts , the 5-star Centara Grand Mirage Resort & Spa on Naklua Beach has direct access to a 230 metre long stretch of beach, with an exciting ‘Lost World’ theme water park and is therefore particularly well-suited for families with children. Closer to Pattaya town centre, at the northern tip of Pattaya Bay, the 5-star Dusit Thani Resort & Spa is a favourite romantic Pattaya holiday destination. Its lavish covered gardens and serene atmosphere, combined with the easy access to Pattaya’s popular eateries and nightlife (it is only about a mile away from Walking Street), make it ideal for young couples. An equally popular Pattaya hotel is the 4-star + Amari Orchid Resort & Spa, located a few short steps away from North Pattaya’s animated beaches. Less expensive hotel accommodations are available off Beach road, close to the city’s famous night spots in Walking Street, South Pattaya. The hotels along Jomtien beach, about 4km from Pattaya, are a quieter alternative, perfect for a relaxing Pattaya holiday. Dining in Pattaya is a truly multi-cultural experience. Restaurants abound all over Pattaya offering a wide variety of cuisines, including French, Japanese, Italian, German, Scandinavian, Korean, Indian, Arab, and Russian food. For traditional British fare, you can try The Queen Victoria Inn and Pat’s Restaurant. Visitors can eat very well in Pattaya, whatever their budget is. Thai food may be sampled in upscale restaurants as well as at many budget restaurants - or it can be cheaply bought from the many vendors and street stalls. Restaurants offering Western style fast food – including fish and chips – are plentiful as well. Direct flights from the UK to Suvarnabhumi International airport (BKK) only take off from London. The following airlines provide direct flights from Heathrow Airport to BKK: Thai Airways, British Airways, Qantas Airways and the Taiwanese Eva Air. Flights from regional UK airports (or from Ireland) will involve connections at Dubai airport or at a European airport such as Frankfurt or Amsterdam. An exotic Pattaya holiday can be affordable if arranged through a package holiday Pattaya plan, and late deals are available during the summer months as well. Spend seven relaxing nights at the 4-star + Dusit Thani Resort & Spa, all taxes and surcharges included, for example. Pattaya holidays offer extremely varied entertainment options and are suitable for almost every type of traveller, from the young and single partygoer to families with children, to couples on their honeymoons. Going on holidays to Pattaya also means you will be only one hour away from Bangkok, should you feel the urge to learn more about Thai culture.
