Arabiaweather.com - Ismail Qasimi - Pattaya is a city and seaside resort overlooking the Gulf of Thailand in its eastern part, 150 km southeast of the capital, Bangkok.
The beaches are the main tourist attraction in Pattaya, and water sports activities are the peak of tourist activities, as well as boat rides to a number of small islands off the coast such as Coral Island, Ko Larn, Ko Vai and Ko Khrok.
And because the beaches are clean and rich in coral reefs, this makes snorkeling and diving a common practice to see the diverse marine species in its crystal clear waters.
One of the most important beaches in the city is Pattaya Beach, which extends three kilometers along the city center, and is a busy destination full of hotels, restaurants, cafes and clubs along the coastal road.
To the north of it, there is Wong Frachan Beach, which extends one kilometer in length, and to the far north of Pattaya Bay, there is Wong Amat Beach and Nakulua Beach, in addition to a large group of charming beaches.
The Nong Nooch Tropical Garden Resort is one of the best family-friendly tourist destinations, where everyone can watch elephants, learn about Thai culture, botanical gardens, and a butterfly garden.
Tourists cannot miss visiting the floating market to purchase some handmade souvenirs or eating traditional Thai foods and wandering around the boat between the wooden houses standing in the middle of the water.
