Below are the 15 best pattaya tours and attractions in Thailand at the moment, with what each one costs, how long it runs, and the sort of traveller it suits, from a Bangkok half-day to a week on the Andaman.
Tour Pattaya Sanctuary of Truth, a seaside all-wood temple with guided explanations, photo time, and respectful rules. From $15.
“Great I loved the sanctuary of truth experience, a bonus was the rowing boat ride and being provided with a fresh coconut which was refreshing!”
Day trip from Bangkok to Pattaya and Coral Island, with a guided Sanctuary of Truth visit, speedboat ride, and beach time.
“Ko Lan island , what a beautiful place to relax , lovely beach , lovely day.”
A 6-hour Pattaya islands adventure with parasailing, snorkeling, paddleboarding, and optional jet ski and seawalker options.
“It was very nice from the beginning, worth every penny. They are the best at what they do.”
Tiffany's Show Pattaya cabaret ticket for a 75-minute world-first transgender production with major costumes, sets, music, and laughs from $34.
“I have gone to Tiffany’s multiple times and it is always a great show and definitely an experience that everyone should have on their list while visiting Pattaya. Think of it as a budget off-Broadway show that takes you around the world with impressive lip-synched number, lavish outfits and creative scenic backdrops. Be sure to go with plenty of 100 baht bills as the performers do expect tips if you want to take pictures with them after the show. 200 baht is an acceptable amount.”
Ethical half-day elephant sanctuary trip from Pattaya with free-roaming, hand-feeding, jungle walks, and a chance to join bathing in Chonburi.
“Excellent trip tour guide Crazy man excellent funny & knowledgeable Wing Minibus driver very helpful careful driver. Elephants were roaming free so lots of chances to photograph Gentle giants. Lovely lunch Pad thai & water melon lots of bottled ice cold water help yourself to. Clean toilet facilities. Maybe could go with a little more shaded areas up the mountain as very hot stood around whilst given information on the elephants All in all great value for money and a fabulous morning.”
Nong Nooch in Pattaya is a 500-acre botanical park with themed gardens, daily Thai shows, and a plant conservation mission for $12.
“Nong Nooch Tropical Garden was an excellent day out. The amount of work and maintenance that goes into maintaining the area was spectacular. We spent 5 hours here and didnt even do any of the extra activities. Would have hired bikes instead of using the shuttle bus if we knew before we bought our tickets. Highly recommend this activity if in Pattaya.”
Pattaya Alcazar Cabaret VIP ticket, discounted, 75 minutes with 400 performers and 17 acts. Long running show since 1981.
“The thratre is large and well furnished. The cabaret show was entertaining and the costumes were spectacular. Well worth a visit”
From Pattaya or Bangkok, enjoy parasailing, snorkeling, clear-kayak sea views, banana boating, and Coral Island beach time with drone photos.
“Amazing experience .. everything was on queue loved it ... Best thing to do in pattaya”
Feed rescued elephants at a sanctuary near Pattaya, learn from the guide, take great photos, then cool down with a soft drink.
“Ethical sanctuary, amazing elephants. I would like to give the company some constructive criticism: the instructions of pick up time is not clear or clearly highlighted in the app (in one place is mentioned that you have to be at the pick up place 10 min before and another 1h and 10 mins before- the correct one is 1h and 10min before) and they don't contact you before hand to make it clear.”
VIP Max Muay Thai Stadium tickets in Pattaya: close seating, real fight nights, and a 2-hour show with top bouts.
“Well organised event. The seat provided was excellent with a great view of the action. . Muay Thai is not for the feint hearted.”
Pattaya 3-island snorkeling cruise with hotel pickup, Thai buffet lunch, catamaran water fun, and Koh Ped monkey island.
“Take an extra pair of shoes if you don't have flip flops as I wasn't able to swim I went in trainers and needed them for monkey island so they were very wet my fault just a heads up.”
Snorkel Nemo Island near Sattahip from Pattaya, 3 hours in clear water, free underwater Nemo photos, fins, and pickup included.
“Great trip worth the money, beautiful locations you stop at. The only issue we had was ourselves and another couple sat at the front of the boat and when giving instructions the tour guides only said it inside the boat so those of us outside didn’t always know what was going on and had to ask others what was happening so communication could be better but other than that it was a great trip and they got some really great photos of everyone”
Walk through a 105 m acrylic tunnel at Underwater World Pattaya, see sharks, stingrays, jellyfish, and touch marine life. Foreigners ticket.
“Achtung nicht thailändische Personen werden verarscht !!!!! In der Beschreibung steht für ausländische Menschen. Am Eingang heißt es auf einmal diese Tickets sind nicht gültig. Wir mussten noch mal komplett kaufen !!!!”
Private Pattaya highlights with an English-speaking driver, air-conditioned comfort, flexible stops, and cruise-friendly transfers for $28.
“Mr. Tong was right on time picking us up at the cruise terminal and knew exactly where we wanted to go. He not only drove us to our destinations but he accompanied us in to them and assisted us in navigating our way. We had some extra time so we stopped at another nearby attraction and we also were able to work in a relaxing seaside beer in Pattaya before returning back to our cruise ship. He was much more than a driver as he guided us through the attractions we had decided to visit. He is an excellent driver with a very comfortable van ( and good a/c).”
Beginner-friendly 28 km ATV or beach buggy tour from Pattaya with pickup, safety gear, lunch, and easy guided training through farms and jungle.
“I been on many ATV Excursions in different parts of the world but this ATV Excursion in Thailand has been the best I been on so far. It was a little slow in the beginning because of all of the beginners that never rode but more experience ATV drivers can request more advance course which is filled with dirt, mud, deep puddles of muddy water, rocks and up hill climbs. This course is NOT for beginners but if you're advance enough then I recommend it. Of course it's a separate cost (1200 baht) but it was WELL WORTH IT!”
