Once in Pattaya, you cannot absolutely miss this tour, as this is one of the highlights of the Pattaya area: the Grand Coral Islands. All the water activities like jet skiing, banana boating, parasailing, and underwater sea walking are brilliant in their own way, and one needs to experience them. The tour was very well organized, as usual, by Klook.com. Early in the morning, they picked us up from the hotel, and from that moment until the end of the tour, it was thoroughly coordinated, including a good lunch. The guide was with us throughout, guiding us on how to Proceed step by step . This is highly recommended.

The tour itself is nice and highly recommended. I only want to emphasize to skip or avoid House of Benedict in your itinerary. The staff are not very nice,and entrnce fee of 200B is just too much for such a place. Please work with the operator to suggest alternate attractions in Pattaya

I had a very satisfying trip. Most reservations on other sites were half-day group courses which were too short, and private tours were too expensive, and the duration wasn't that long. I was also worried about not being able to find a Grab or Bolt for the return trip, as there were reviews saying it was hard to get one. I found exactly the tour I wanted on Klook and booked it. I was a bit worried after booking because there were many concerning reviews. Some reviews mentioned arriving late, charging extra for the Pink Zone, or not being able to provide proper guidance due to unfamiliarity with the route. So, I inquired about the Pink Zone inclusion in advance, and prepared myself to navigate independently if the driver didn't know the way, researching a lot about Khao Kheow Open Zoo. But in conclusion, a very knowledgeable driver came and provided excellent guidance. He guided us well. He suggested the Pink Zone first. I was worried that the rental time would be delayed, but he told me not to worry. We spent about an hour in the Pink Zone and moved on to the Green Zone. Since it was a weekday, we were able to rent a cart easily with almost no wait. The car was very clean, the driver was knowledgeable, kept the appointment time, and it was a very satisfying tour. Highly recommend.

Everything was well-organized, relaxed, and super enjoyable. Our tour guide, Nok, was really good—friendly, knowledgeable, and made the whole experience even better with helpful tips and fun insights. Overall, it was a memorable and hassle-free tour. Highly recommended!

The Sanctuary of Truth is a must-visit, especially if you’re soul-searching or looking for something meaningful during your trip. Booking was smooth, and communication was excellent. Even though my hotel wasn’t on the pickup list, they still arranged transport for me. I booked a join-in tour but ended up being the only guest, and they still went ahead without canceling. Huge thanks to Chayada Cherry, an incredible and hands-on guide who took care of everything, letting me fully enjoy the moment. As a solo traveler, I felt completely supported—she even offered to take amazing photos for me. The driver was also great—he knew the area well and avoided traffic by taking smart shortcuts, making the ride comfortable and efficient. The Sanctuary itself is breathtaking, with detailed carvings and a peaceful, spiritual vibe. It’s not just a beautiful structure but a place that really encourages reflection and presence. Everything was well-organized from start to finish, and I left feeling calm

It was a wonderful day. Our guide Noni was funny and very friendly. We sang and laughed along the way. He told us a lot of interesting things about Thailand. We visited very beautiful places and took a lot of beautiful photos.

I recently took the plunge and bought an Enduro motorbike, and I couldn’t be happier with the performance. Whether it’s tackling steep hills, muddy trails, or rocky terrain, this bike handles everything with ease. The suspension is top-notch, absorbing bumps and making even the roughest trails feel smooth. The power delivery is strong, but it’s manageable enough for all skill levels. It’s lightweight, responsive, and feels like it was built for adventure. If you’re an off-road enthusiast looking for a versatile, durable ride, I highly recommend this model. It’s definitely built to last and deliver.

What to know before visiting Pattaya

Top Pattaya Attractions

Sanctuary of Truth

The Sanctuary of Truth is one of the most famous landmarks in Pattaya. You can explore a huge wooden temple filled with detailed carvings that show Thai culture, religion, and art. It’s a peaceful place where you can learn about the beliefs and history that shape Pattaya.

Pattaya Beach

Pattaya Beach is the most popular beach in Pattaya, and it’s perfect if you want to relax by the water or try activities like jet skiing and parasailing. You’ll find restaurants, shops, and beach chairs all along the shore, making it easy to spend the whole day there.

Nong Nooch Tropical Garden

At Nong Nooch Tropical Garden in Pattaya, you’ll see beautiful themed gardens, elephant shows, and cultural performances. You can walk through flower displays, take photos, and watch traditional Thai dances. It’s one of the most family-friendly places in Pattaya.

Walking Street Pattaya

Walking Street is the busiest nightlife area in Pattaya, filled with bright lights, music, and clubs. Even if you don’t want to party, you can stroll through the street to see live performers, street food vendors, and the lively energy that Pattaya is known for.

Art in Paradise

Tips before visiting Pattaya

1. Explore different beaches

Pattaya Beach can be crowded, so you may want to visit quieter places like Jomtien Beach or Naklua. These areas offer cleaner water, calmer vibes, and better spots for swimming or relaxing.

2. Be mindful of nightlife areas

Walking Street is famous but can be overwhelming, especially for families. It’s safe to visit, but it’s best to know what to expect. If you prefer a calmer evening, try beachside restaurants or night markets instead.

3. Dress respectfully at temples

When visiting places like the Sanctuary of Truth or the Big Buddha Temple, make sure to wear clothing that covers your shoulders and knees. This shows respect for local culture and helps you enter all areas without issues.

4. Plan your transportation

Pattaya has many ways to get around, like songthaews (shared taxis), motorbike taxis, and ride-hailing apps. Before you go out, check prices or use an app to avoid paying more than you should. This will make your trip smoother and easier.
