It's because of all those go-go bars and the red-light district that most foreigners are lured in, but in truth, Pattaya is much more than just this. If you are travelling solo, there is so much to explore in this part of Thailand and here's a list of tips on how to make the best of the city.
When you are travelling solo, it's easy to be spontaneous and might even get you some of the best experiences in your life! Still, planning ahead can help out too, especially if you are travelling on a low budget. Go through some of the online Pattaya guides and try to find out prices for the attractions you want to visit. This way you won't be too surprised when you actually get there just in case the price is on the higher side. Moreover, you can ensure that you get maximum value for money.
Whether it's beach resorts in Pattaya the likes of Avani Pattaya Resort or a hostel or boutique hotel, booking in advance is the best option. There are so many tourists visiting the island, so accommodation providers are often fully booked. Booking in advance will help you secure a place to stay as well as entitle you to various discounts, offers and extra benefits for your stay. However, you will have to look into whether meals are included in the package or will have to be paid for separately.
If you are not travelling with a loved one but still like to be around people, then a group tour is your best option. This way, everything is already planned out for you, including places to stay and an itinerary with as many places to visit as possible. You will also get the chance to meet new people from various countries as well. Your cost will reduce significantly too.
Pattaya is home to quite a few museums and they are definitely not to be missed! It's always more interesting to know the culture and history of the country you are visiting, and the museums here hold so many artefacts to keep you occupied for a good few hours. If you are up for some fun with photography, visit the Art in Paradise museum. Here, you'll find illusion art that can easily deceive the eyes but will be a magical experience.
Pattaya offers visitors the chance to indulge in a various number of water sports. Kite surfing, jet-skiing, snorkelling, parasailing and much more await the ocean lovers. Beach resorts on the island are often equipped to facilitate such water sports. It's not only by the beach but fun in the water awaits at the many theme parks in Pattaya. Splashdown Waterpark, Pattaya Park and Cartoon Network Amazone Waterpark are some of the most famous parks to hang out in no matter the fact that you are travelling solo.
