Generally, foreigners come to Pattaya for the beach and to party and do other activities that we will not detail here. But there are still some interesting visits to do in Pattaya. The most interesting monument in the town is the Sanctuary of Truth a beautiful wooden building built according to ancient techniques. Pattaya Big Buddha also worth visiting.
