There are several reasons for Pattaya’s popularity. One reason is that the city is close to Bangkok, which makes it popular with Thai tourists wanting a break from Bangkok, and also accessible to Asian tourists on shorter breaks.
The city also has several beaches, some better than others, and a really diverse range of activities on offer, restaurants serving up many different types of food, and lots of value for money hotels to suit nearly all budgets. In addition the city has lots of shopping outlets.
Children will enjoy the city’s two large water parks, and its zoos and aquariums.
Everyone from single men wanting to visit Go-Go bars, to extended families from the middle east, choose to come to Pattaya because it has something desirable to offer. The people Pattaya tends not to attract, however, are independent travellers looking for cultural experiences.
