Probably the most interesting monument in Pattaya, this temple by the sea in the area of Naklua is gigantic wooden construction built according to ancestral techniques

Pattaya Big Buddha

Perched on the hill between the sulfur area of South Pattaya and Jomtien, the 18 meters high statue of Buddha seems to watch over the city. This is the largest statue of its kind in the Province.

Koh Larn island

This small island just opposite Pattaya has much prettier beaches and is easily accessible by boat. Most people just come there for the day but personally I recommend spending the night there, it allows you to enjoy Koh Lan before and after the horde of tourists.

Other nice places to visit in Pattaya

Pattaya Floating Market

starstarstarstar built from scratch, this floating market is certainly artificial, but still a nice place to shop, stroll and eat especially if you have not yet had the opportunity to see this type of market. The choice of wooden and bamboo houses and boardwalks gives it an appreciable semblance of authenticity even if the place is still far from a real traditional Thai floating market.

Khao Chi Chan

starstarstarstar mountain a few dozen kilometers from Pattaya with a large Buddha image drawn on one of its walls. It is located in the district of Sathahip.

Koh Si Chang island

It is a short trip from Bangkok.
