Choose from Pattaya luxury condominiums, Pattaya serviced apartments and Pattaya villas to make the most of your stay in this tourist hot-spot.

Pattaya is famous for its signature Pattaya go-go bars and nightlife, and is also one of Thailand's best locations for all manner of activities. Many tourists visit to watch or take part in Pattaya sports events and to visit the beach.

Located on the North Gulf Coast of Eastern Thailand, 150km south-east of Bangkok. Pattaya also offers an excellent range of eating choices and a wide variety of things to do and see. Pattaya villas are as modern and luxurious as you’ll find anywhere in the kingdom, and Pattaya serviced apartments are an independent and luxury way to enjoy the location.

The new Suvarnabhumi Airport (located to the east of Bangkok, alongside the expressway to Pattaya) created increases in tourism revenues and the town is booming.

Pattaya is a broad ranging holiday destination. Pattaya is popular not only as a beach resort and for its entertainment, nightlife and shopping, but also for the broad selection of past times it caters for. Pattaya activities include the Pattaya golfing circuit and horseback riding to bungee jumping, go-karting and shooting - plus a wide variety of Pattaya Beach watersports such as scuba diving, jet-skiing, sailing, water skiing, windsurfing and kite surfing, and a whole lot more. Pattaya is also very popular as a conference, convention and seminar venue, and future developments may include a horse racing track, casinos, and a tram system.

Pattaya's sub-district names sometimes cause confusion, usually when the official Pattaya Bay area titles of North Pattaya, Central Pattaya and South Pattaya are misunderstood. These names do not relate to Pattaya as a whole. They refer to the sections of Pattaya Beach to which each sub-district is aligned.

Pattaya's downtown area is easy to get around. Running north-south, a few hundred metres apart, are Beach Road, Thanon Hat Pattaya, which borders the main beach, Pattaya Second Road and Pattaya Third Road, with the smaller but busy Soi Buakhao in between, and the main Sukhumvit Road coastal highway.

Pattaya is well connected by air to the rest of Thailand.

Pattaya villas and Pattaya luxury condominiums

Pattaya has an extensive selection of inexpensive mid-range accommodation, and a good variety of more up market options. Take it easy and stay in a Pattaya serviced apartment, a Pattaya villa or a Pattaya luxury condominium.
High season dates vary from accommodation to accommodation, but typically prices go up considerably during the Christmas-New Years period (which co-insides neatly with the season of best weather), and are lower between February and October/November.
