PATTAYA


PATTAYA



          Once a fishing town, Pattaya has now become an  amazing city surrounded by 30 offshore islands.
Pattaya is located approximately 140 km southeast of Bangkok, and faces the Gulf of Siam. Pattaya’s accommodation ranges from luxuriously beach-side hotels to simple guesthouses. It also offers the allure of a truly vibrant nightlife with a great variety of restaurants, night clubs, bars, discotheques, and the most famous Cabaret Show which one should not miss!
