Table of Contents
Pattaya is a popular holiday resort in the Thai province of Chon Buri. The city is located on the east coast of the Gulf of Thailand and is about 81 miles from Bangkok. A highway leads from Pattaya directly to the capital.
Pattaya is officially home to about 100,000 people, but the actual number is estimated to be up to four times this number, as many emigrants have also never officially registered with the government or are still resident in Europe.
Directly opposite the city centre is the 15 kilometre long beach of Pattaya, on whose section Pattaya Klang most hotels and clubs are located. Jomtien Beach in the north of Pattaya is a popular holiday region also for families.
In principle, Pattaya is considered a destination where something is on offer at any time of the day or night. The island of Ko Lan off the coast, which can be reached by boat or ferry in a few minutes, is quieter.

The climate in Pattaya is tropical and monsoonal, the temperatures fluctuate only minimally throughout the year. On average, the daytime temperature is around 31 °C. Although there are no classical seasons in Thailand, there are three different climate phases with very different amounts of precipitation in the Pattaya region.
November to February are hot and dry with little rain, the humidity on the coast around Pattaya is only around 50 percent. March and April are transitional months. From May to August, however, it gets very hot, humid air and regular rainfall cause sultriness. The third phase is the”real rainy season” in Pattaya with an average humidity of 90 percent and enormous rainfall in September and October.

When to go to Pattaya?
In general it is very hot in Pattaya all year round, even at night it stays very warm with 22 °C to 26 °C. From November to February is the main tourist season in the region, especially around Christmas and the beginning of January the hotels are well filled. Pattaya and Jomtien Beach peak in the winter holidays, prices are lower before and after.
In general we recommend the months November to February as the best travel season in Pattaya, but also March and April are worth a recommendation with rather low rainfall and pleasant weather. Since most Europeans have left by the end of February, the time before Easter is a good alternative. As it gets noticeably hotter again in March and April, however, we do not recommend the months as the absolutely best travel time in the region.
The rainy season from May to October is very volatile, heavy rains are more frequent and many shops in the tourist centres are now closing. Mosquitoes can also occur more frequently. All in all, this off-season travel season is extremely inexpensive for good reason. Don’t let yourself be tempted by the often conspicuous bargains, but consider whether you really want to take the weather risk on a long-haul trip.

Highlights and Attractions
Besides the popular beaches of Pattaya Beach and Jomtien Beach, the offshore islands of Ko Lan and Ko Phai are popular seaside resorts in Pattaya with crystal clear waters and great coral reefs. Boat trips as well as diving and snorkeling tours are offered in many places as excursions. Sights in Pattaya are the Sanctuary of Truth and the statue Big Buddha on the highest peak of the city.
Activities such as petting tigers in special parks are loved by many tourists and actively promoted on site. However, we ask you to consider the housing conditions and to agree with your own conscience whether you would like to support the confinement of wild animals for tourist enjoyment. Even if the operators vehemently claim that they are injured / orphaned animals and that the farm serves their welfare.
