DAYTIME ACTIVITIES IN PATTAYA

Pattaya is awash with lively discos and clubs too and serves up its own distinctive big city vibe for a night out, such as the world famous Ladyboy shows at Alcazar and Tiffany theatres, and glitzy Vegas-style Pattaya cabaret.

Thai people love a festival and Pattaya doesn’t disappoint with a large number taking place throughout the year, such as the famous International Music Festival, numerous food festivals, the lights festival, the water festival, and many other vibrant community festivities. Almost every weekend throughout the high season, there are fireworks displays illuminating the skies over the city. On the terrace of your Siam Royal View villa, you have the best view in the city to watch the dazzling pyrotechnics. Pattaya expat clubs also organise regular evening social events for their members.

20 GOLF COURSES AROUND
Thailand has had a long love affair with golf, and in Pattaya the game has a passionate following. The country offers numerous international standard courses with many designed by iconic names in golf course design such as Jack Nicklaus, Nick Faldo, Peter Thompson and others of a similar stature.

Thailand hosts some of Asia’s most prestigious pro tournaments, including the Johnnie Walker Classic and the Honda LPGA Tournament.

However, nowhere in the country offers quite the array of first rate golf facilities as the Pattaya area. The eastern seaboard’s delightful climate allows for year-round play and you will find the service and course management at Pattaya golf courses among the very best in the world. They are arguably the best value for money anywhere. Caddy service is pretty much obligatory, with well-trained (usually female) caddies who know the course layout well enough to help you improve your score by a few strokes.

Most courses have refreshment bars every three holes or so, where you can have a drink and a snack and take your time – in typical Thai-style.

here are 21 golf courses within just an hour’s drive of the city and 15 of these are championship standard. The courses are rarely crowded and there is no need to book weeks ahead. Pattaya is truly one of the most golfer-friendly locations on the planet.

CULTURAL ACTIVITIES IN PATTAYA
Pattaya hosts a comprehensive program of cultural happenings throughout the year with a multitude of vibrant traditional Thai festivities, along with an ever expanding range of big events with a decidedly international flavour. The Pattaya Music Festival is a major musical event while the city’s legendary New Year countdown party is a five-day extravganza of revelry much loved by local Thais and visiting tourists.
