Things to do in Pattaya

The highlight of our Thailand trip! We booked the half-day morning program through Klook, which included convenient hotel pickup and drop-off. We visited on a Wednesday, and there were only 7 guests, including us, making the experience feel very personal. Camp 1 has 7 rescued female elephants, and we had plenty of time to interact with them without feeling rushed. We enjoyed complimentary snacks and drinks before the tour, then learned so much about the elephants from the amazing guides, who spoke excellent English and clearly loved and cared for them. We prepared their food, fed them bananas, gave them a mud spa, bathed them, played with them in the water, and even made eco-friendly paper from elephant dung. After the activities, we enjoyed a delicious buffet lunch and received a free eco bag. Everything was well organized and unforgettable. Highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Pattaya!

Initially, when booking, I filled in the hotel address, but there was no contact before the trip, so I was worried at first. On the morning of the trip, around 8 AM, we waited in the hotel lobby. A songthaew driver came to pick us up, and after confirming our names, we got on the vehicle, which then picked up other people from various hotels. We had fun parasailing and snorkeling and would like to do it again. There were many tour guides at each location; they were easy to recognize because they wore the same clothes. Later, when we landed on the island, there was a sun umbrella area for us to rest. The lunch environment was simple, but the food wasn't bad.

Amazing views and architecture. To enter, you need to join a tour which could last for 45-60 minutes. After the tour, you will be allowed to go around by yourselves and take photos. Our tour guide (Judy) is very knowledgeable and speaks good English. He comprehensively shared all the life truths embedded to the architecture and design of the sanctuary. A great experience overall.

Definitely enjoyed our time in Noongnooch Tropical Garden. It is one of the highlights of our recent trip to Thailand. Aside from the large variety of tropical flowers which can be found here, we totally enjoyed the shows as well especially the elephant shows. I highly recommend that you purchase show tickets when visiting Noongnooch and allocate time to watch their shows. They’re amazing. The elephants here are very playful and shows great wit. They also know how to interact with huge crowds. This made our trip very memorable for both me and my mom.

This is a beautiful aquarium. Although it's a bit old, it's very well-maintained, with many aquatic and reptilian animals, making it perfect for children. The tunnel is quite long, 100 meters divided into three sections. In the afternoon, there's an underwater feeding show, and the staff are very helpful and have a great attitude. It's a shame that the jellyfish exhibit was under renovation during our visit, so we didn't get to see the jellyfish that the kids love.

This is a beautiful and excellent water park with many colorful and fun rides, suitable for families and all age groups. The price is very good, not expensive, and it's not crowded. Facilities: Complete. Shows: Good. Ease of booking through Klook: Very easy. Wait times: Not long at all, very fast. Price: Very cheap and great value.

The show was truly amazing. The performers danced wonderfully, and the stage design, lighting, and costumes were all of a high standard, giving it a Broadway feel. This time, I bought diamond tickets, which were directly in front of the stage, allowing me to see every performer. However, it was a bit too close to fully appreciate the overall spectacle. For the 6:00 PM show, about half the seats were empty, likely because it wasn't peak season. If I hadn't been told it was a ladyboy show, I would have genuinely thought everyone on stage was female.

There were 12 of us, and it took 30 minutes to get from the hotel to the park. We called 3 Bolts, and each cost only 200 local currency. It was also easy to get a ride back. Taxis waiting at the entrance might start at 400. The park opening at 11:00 AM is a bit late, and we didn't have enough time to play because upon entering, we still had to change clothes, buy a locker, get wristbands, etc. We went on a Sunday, and it wasn't very crowded. The pools were super clean, and the staff were very nice. We managed to try almost every attraction. The foam pool has specific operating hours. The floor was so hot that my little one's feet got a bit scraped. I recommend wearing diving socks or flip-flops, but you can't wear shoes on the waterslides, which makes it inconvenient to keep taking them on and off. Sometimes the entry and exit points are different. My child said they want to come back again next time!

By far the best theatric show I have seen. from the performers to the production team, every single aspect of the show was incredible. I did not want the show to end. if you are in Pattaya, don’t even hesitate to get your tickets and go see this show. 100/10. Highly recommend for any age. added photos are not from the show.
