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.
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
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.
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.
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.

starstarstarstar Located opposite the town of Si Racha, a little north of Pattaya, Koh Sichang island is quite rocky with only two sandy beaches but between its viewpoints and landscape, its temples, its seafood restaurants and the location of a royal residence which was dismantled and rebuilt in Bangkok, it is an island very popular with Thais who come in large numbers on weekends and public holidays. It is a short trip from Bangkok.
