Pattaya & Coral Island Tour
On this day trip from Bangkok you will discover the bustling city of Pattaya on the Gulf of Thailand. This town has become famous for the nightlife it has to offer. We will take you to one of the many islands in the area, which is very suitable for relaxation.
Pattaya
Pattaya, located on the Gulf of Thailand, is the largest of Thailand’s beach resorts with its four kilometers long sandy beach. It is also a major shopping and nightlife area.
Once a quiet fishing village, Pattaya started to develop as a recreational destination during the Vietnam war when American soldiers on leave came to town to relax.
Although Pattaya is well known for its nightlife with countless go go bars, beer bars and massage shops, it has a lot more to offer like some of the best golf courses, five star hotels and luxury resorts and some of the finest restaurants.
Coral Island
A short ride by speedboat away is the island of Coral Island or Koh Larn. This is the largest island in the area. It is a popular place for all kinds of water activities like scuba diving, snorkeling, diving, banana boat rides and parasailing behind a speed boat.
The island has a number of beautiful sandy beaches with clear water while the interior is mostly mountainous covered with forest. On top of the mountain is a Buddhist shrine.
Play your favorite beach sport, go snorkeling or just relax on the beach. If you want, you can have lunch at one of the beach side restaurants.
Pattaya Viewpoint
After a speedboat ride back to the pier in Pattaya, we’ll head to nearby Pattaya viewpoint. Located on top of a hill, the viewpoint has some of the best views of Pattaya city, Pattaya Bay full of boats and the sea. You will also be able to see the golden Pattaya Big Buddha.
Pattaya City and the Bay
Sanctuary of Truth
Last stop of the tour is the Sanctuary of Truth. Sitting right on the beach in North Pattaya, the Sanctuary of Truth is a huge wooden building over a hundred meters tall. Everywhere you look are delicate carvings done by hand. Although not a temple, the building’s architecture is based by Buddhist and Hindu beliefs.
