Growing cultural Thailand
Thailand’s famous beach resort town of Pattaya has developed a colorful reputation over the years. It’s a convenient place to enjoy sun, sand and sea. The beach town has drawn tourists and ex-pats from all over the world ever since US soldiers “discovered” the once-sleepy getaway destination during the Vietnam War.
The park at Nong Nooch Village offers a little bit of everything on the spectrum. There’s a magnificent orchid garden that will awaken the inner horticulturist in everyone, and a zoo that’s fun for all ages.
Escape the bustle of the main city, but still enjoy Pattaya’s highlights by relaxing at Jomtien Beach.
The massive building of Sanctuary of Truth is a study in Thai architectural styles. Every available space is intricately decorated with wooden carvings and the entire structure was built to pay homage to ancient religions and philosophies.
The Wat Yansangwararam offers insight not only into Thai design and architectural traditions, but also into the society’s values. 
The first and only floating market in Pattaya, this bustling hive of commerce gives guests an opportunity to experience local living and indulge in excellent Thai fare.
A day spent at Pattaya Park will be a fun one, whether you’re young or young at heart. Get the adrenaline pumping with a ride on the roller-coaster.
A trip to Underwater World is not your average day at the aquarium. Here, at Thailand’s first modern aquarium, guests can spend the night among the animals, feed koi fish from bottles, and dive with sharks and rays.
For some quality time at the markets, head to the small town of Naklua. Plan your excursion in the morning to take advantage of the fish market, or in the evening for the night market. You’ll find several good restaurants in the area and get a taste of local life.
