Beach culture and nightlife apart, Pattaya offers a complete range of attractions that are sure to suit a wide spectrum of interests. Listed here are just some of the highlights of this vibrant city.
Ripley's Believe It or Not!
Inspired by Robert Leroy's book, the museum has to its credit more than 300 exhibits inside 10 individually themed galleries. Every exhibit that you see here will challenge your perception of the world as you know it. The museum is located at the Royal Garden Plaza, Pattaya Beach Road.
The Sanctuary of Truth
The monument is neither a temple nor palace but at best a hybrid of both. Standing tribute to Thai craftsmanship at its best, the magnificent monument pays home to Eastern philosophy, ancient knowledge and also reflects the ancient vision of earth. The monument does not only reflect a fusion of architectural styles but also a fusion of religion, philosophy, art and culture.
Pattaya Floating Market
The floating market is spread across 100,000sqm and is divided into different sections, with each section representing and selling items from different part of Thailand - from north, northeast, south and centre. In the afternoons, you can also enjoy a cultural show and also hire a manpowered boat for a ride.
Khao Kheow Open Zoo
The zoo is considered to be the most fascinating in the country. In fact it is more a wildlife conservation and research centre housing over 8000 wild animals. The zoo has been designed to resemble a natural environment where the animals can roam around freely and you can view them from your own car or the zoo's tram.
