Pattaya resort is situated not far from Bangkok, that gives opportunity to minimize expenses for travelling to Thailand. Everybody know how wonderful Thailand is, but as it is pretty far away from Europe, to European citizens it is not easy to find a cheap flight to Phuket, for example. It doesn’ t take much time and money to get to Pattaya beaches from Bangkok airport. You can get there by taxi, or even by bus, road is not long. But this is not the only reason that makes Pattaya so popular.
Pattaya is famous for it’s wonderful beaches, sun, sea and fun, but as compare to other entertainment resorts, Pattaya welcomes people of every age. If you are looking for fun, ,it is better for you to stay closer to the center, and if you are looking for a calm holiday or you come with your family you can stay a bit far from the center, or even on Koh Chang island, so you will have opportunity to relax in your holiday and to visit the city anytime you get bored.
Pattaya is situated on the eastern coast of the Thailand Gulf and has some popular beaches for swimming, sunbathing and water sports. Hotels on the beaches have affordable prices all year round, though in high season ( December and January ) prices are usually higher, especially if you book your holidays on the New Year days.
Though Pattaya beaches are not so attractive, as, for example, beaches of Phuket, you can find some very clean places for swimming. For example, Naklua beach is unpolluted and not overcrowded. I can say the same about Jomtien beach. So do not believe those, who say that water in Pattaya is dirty, sure it is not adviced to book hotels in the city center if you are looking for clean water and calm holiday. One more great opportunity to find beautiful beaches is to go to Koh Chang island. About travel sights of this island I will tell you more in my next article.
