Bangkok Pattaya super practical guide! Attractions, restaurants, performances, cars, tips

【Attractions】—Pattaya Beach

The overall quality of the beach here is average. The water is not as clear as that in Phuket, and the sand is not fine enough. However, there are not many attractions in Pattaya, so you can go around the beach. There are many choices of beaches here. It is recommended that you go to Koh Larn to find a beach with relatively few people. You can take a taxi to the pier to take a boat on Koh Larn. The big boat takes about 40 minutes and costs 100 per person. The speedboat takes 20 minutes and costs 200 per person. Don't be cheated. The speedboat asked me for 400 per person at the beginning.

【Attractions】—Pattaya Show

This should be a must-visit for everyone who comes to Pattaya. I bought the ticket from Taobao. There are not many sellers that can be searched. Some of them are not listed. I sent a private message to ask if there is a sale. It costs more than 200 per person. The show is a loop performance and will not stop between performances, so you can go in at any time and sit in the back first. People in the front will leave after watching. You can move to the front, but it is not recommended to sit in the first row, so you may be invited to the stage or interact. As for the scale, it is definitely full of lou, but it is just a show. Moreover, it is not exaggerated and not as erotic as imagined. If you book a ticket online, you will be informed of the time and then picked up at the hotel, which is very convenient. PS: Be sure to bring your passport

[Attractions] - Pattaya Temple of Truth

It is a niche attraction with few people, but it is worth a visit. The entire temple is made of wood without a single nail. It is handmade by workers. It has been built for more than 30 years and is still not completed. It looks quite shocking. The ticket is bought online for only 300 baht per person.

[Attractions] - Pattaya Nong Nooch Botanical Garden

Here are basically all kinds of fake small animals, trimmed flowers and plants. Come here to take pictures. You can choose to watch the elephant show or not. The ticket price will be different. It is worth mentioning here that you can go to the Dinosaur Valley and download an APP called: Nongnooch. After downloading, use the software to take pictures of the dinosaurs where there are 3D photo marks. A moving 3D dinosaur will appear in the picture, which is very cute. You can also pay to feed elephants and take photos with tigers, etc. It is not expensive and you can try it. I fed the elephant bananas and he bowed to thank me, which was very cute.

【Attractions】—The Sky Gallery, a must-visit restaurant in Pattaya

I didn't make a reservation in advance so I arrived before 5 o'clock that day. There were not many people at this time. I chose a super good seat. I could take all kinds of photos starting from 6 o'clock when the sunset started. It was super beautiful. There were Western and Thai food, and the price was not expensive. I ordered two drinks, a sandwich and fries, a pasta, and a chicken wing. It cost more than 900 yuan, about 100 yuan per person. Little fairies who love taking photos must come.

【Car】

Usually, I recommend everyone to use Uber in the city, because drivers don't use meters to ask for random prices when you wave to take a taxi. This problem does not exist with Uber, but the disadvantage is that it usually takes a long time to call a taxi because Thailand has serious traffic jams. For short distances, you can also choose Tutu cars similar to Chinese Bengbeng cars. This is definitely faster than a taxi, but there is no air conditioning, and the price is not cheaper than Uber. If you have a fixed itinerary time when Traveling, you must make it in advance. Traffic jams in Thailand can occur at any time regardless of morning or evening peaks.

If you charter a car from Bangkok to Pattaya, it will cost more than 300 RMB, which is quite expensive. It is about 150 kilometers. It is recommended to book a carpooling on Taobao. It costs about 40 RMB per person, but if the luggage is more than 24 inches, you need to pay another 25 RMB, but it only costs 60-70 RMB per person. The car you take is a business car, which is also OK. It will pick you up directly from the Bangkok hotel to the Pattaya hotel. It is very convenient and you can choose to leave in the morning or afternoon.

[Shopping]

I won’t say what you buy in the duty-free shop. Basically, it is cosmetics, skin care products and luxury goods. I recommend you to buy some affordable small items and aromatherapy. The recommended items are all in the picture. It is recommended to visit the Boots store here, which is similar to Watsons. There are also some drinks that I think are very good, which can be bought in 711. See the picture.

[Tips]

1: Although you can get a visa on arrival, it is still recommended to get it in advance because the price will be cheaper. I got a visa on arrival because I was in time. After filling out the form after getting off the plane, you can pay 40 more per person and go through the fast lane without waiting.

2: There are really many scammers in Thailand, and they are also very good at cheating Tourists. I suggest that you buy tickets or activities on Taobao if you can. I saw five or six water activities on Taobao, such as water transportation, parachuting, snorkeling, etc., which added up to more than 300 yuan, but when I got to this one, it cost more than 100 yuan. Including taking a boat, I originally wanted to go to Gran Island to take a big boat because it was cheaper. On the way, I met a speedboat driver who told me that the big boat was not there, so we took a speedboat. But when I came back, I asked and the big boat was clearly there.

3: When you go out every day, you have to leave a 20-cent tip on the table, so I suggest that you change some change when you change money. When you arrive at the hotel, you also have to give it to the waiter who helps you move your luggage. It is inconvenient to pay in whole money. If you do SPA, you have to give a 100-cent tip.
