HISTORY GUIDE

Pattaya, also known as Fun City, is Thailand’s most popular resort and only 90 minutes by car from Bangkok.

Once a sleepy fishing town, Pattaya first boomed as an R&R spot during the Vietnam War and has been a popular tourism destination ever since.

Currently, Pattaya is booming and the opening of the Suvarnabhumi Airport has made visiting easier than ever.

Pattaya is popular not only as a beach resort and for its entertainment, nightlife and shopping, but also for the broad selection of recreational activities it caters for, from golf and horseback riding to bungee jumping, karting and shooting - not to mention a wide variety of watersports such as scuba diving, jet-skiing, sailing, windsurfing and kite surfing.

Pattaya, unlike other beach resorts, shows no respite after sundown; it’s nightlife is unique and fascinating with Walking Street, South Pattaya in the heart of it all. This is the most popular place to go amongst tourists and expats and you’ll find many gogo bars, beer bars, discos, street entertainers and even the occasional ladyboy.

Food is another highlight of any trip to Pattaya.

From giant prawns to spicy som tam salad, there is every imaginable cuisine here. Cajun, Chinese, Indian, Italian, English, French, Vietnamese, German, Russian and more.

Today Pattaya attracts annually more than a million tourists from all over the world. Pattaya provides world class hotels, restaurants, sports, entertainment and shopping.

GETTING AROUND

One of the wonderful things about Pattaya is the fact that getting around is so easy, either locally or nationally.

Here are some of our tips for getting around when based in Pattaya.

LOCAL TRANSPORT BAHT BUS Baht buses are a fantastic way to get around the city and run along all major routes. The price for most journeys is 10 Baht although for longer distances this maybe 20 Baht. Off-route baht buses are expensive so check in advance.

MOTORBIKE TAXI There are lots of motorbike taxis available around Pattaya and they are a fast and cheap way to get around once you overcome the initial fear!

METERED TAXI Metered taxis are becoming more common in Pattaya although the drivers prefer not to use the meters and will ask for a steep fixed price for the journey.

GRAB TAXI This method of transport is growing in popularity and is often cheaper than using standard metered taxis. However, there is some resistance from local taxi drivers so getting an available car can prove difficult but worth a try.

REGIONAL TRANSPORT BUS & COACH There are two main bus stations in Pattaya, one on North Pattaya Road and one on the southbound carriageway of Sukhumvit Road near the Pattaya Klang turn. From here you can travel to several destinations around the country with more destinations offered by other operators.

0952 480 084

MINIBUS There are lots of minibus services running between Pattaya and Bangkok as well as other areas. These are a faster alternative to the larger buses with prices being similar. Downside is they are known to drive dangerously.

METERED & PRIVATE TAXI You can get metered and private taxis to most areas of the country. Some have fixed price lists whilst others prefer to negotiate a price. This is an excellent option if you are visiting places that aren’t directly on a bus route.

FERRY The Koh Larn ferry runs every hour daily which is convenient and well-priced.

The Hua Hin passenger ferry is modern, takes under 3 hours although pricey.

TRAIN Trains are not the faster way to get around but they are a great way to see the country. Pattaya Train station is in East Pattaya close to the Highway 7.

PLANE Domestic and international flights are available from U-Tapao aka as Pattaya International which is 40 minutes drive, Suvarnabhumi and Don Muang take 90 and 120 minutes drive respectively. Regional flights are good value.

OTHER OPTIONS CAR & MOTORBIKE RENTAL Having access to your own car or motorbike certainly gives you more freedom. There are lots of reputable vehicle rental companies in the city but make sure they offer first class rental insurance.

BUYING A CAR OR BIKE Regular or long-term renters may find it cheaper to purchase their own vehicle. New vehicles are quite expensive but hold their value well and there are naturally the same potential issues as you would find anywhere else in the world when it comes to buying a second-hand vehicle. Obtaining credit can also be a problem.

TRAVEL TIPS Common sense obviously plays a huge role in travelling around Pattaya and Thailand. Drink driving is naturally a big no-no but there are plenty of occasions where travel can be particularly difficult. Friday afternoons always see a large increase in the volume of traffic as too do Public Holidays and weekends. Allowing plenty of time for travel is advisable as accidents are holdups are common.

SHOPPING GUIDE

Pattaya has large malls, small malls, supermarkets, bazaar-style markets, and thousands of other shops.

Regardless of what you are looking for in Pattaya, you will be able to find it but don’t expect an abundance of shops all selling different things. In reality, you can expect to find plenty of clothes shops and coffee shops but the city has a long way to go to catch up with Bangkok.

The major malls are Central Pattaya Beach, Royal Garden Plaza, Central Marina, and Harbor Mall which has excellent facilities for kids that can keep them occupied for an entire weekend. King Power mall is purely for holiday-makers.

Terminal 21 mall and hotel is located on North Pattaya Road next to the Dolphin Roundabout, adding to Pattaya’s international reputation.

Thepprasit Night Market opens Friday to Sunday and is the largest night market in the region, it’s definitely a must see for all tourists. There are also smaller markets open day and night selling clothes to hand made crafts Like with many other parts of Asia, bargaining is a way of life and often something that feels quite alien to Europeans and North Americans.

Don’t let a small matter like not knowing your Thai numbers put you off either, most shop keepers will carry a calculator to show the price.

As a general rule whatever their first price is, halve it and you will be closer to what they are actually willing to sell the item for. If you are not happy then simply walk away as the shop keeper down the street will be selling the same thing. Always remember to smile and make eye contact.

Try to have some fun when bargaining because if the shop keeper likes you they may give you a better price and never get aggressive, it doesn’t pay.

Losing face in Thailand or losing your temper for that matter are big no-no’s so always keep this in mind if you are looking to pick up a bargain.

TELEVISION GUIDE

Sometimes the hectic life of Pattaya takes its toll, and we want to sit back, relax and watch some great telly. However, deciding what to watch can be a bit of a challenge!

The options for watching our favourite shows have improved a great deal in recent years, and we are no longer stuck with the local cable offering old movies, English speaking news channels and dreadfully produced local TV. Faster internet speed now means that we can access pretty much all our favourite shows from around the world. Here we give you a brief lowdown on the free and available paid streaming options.

FREE STREAMING Free streaming is available to everyone who has a laptop, mobile device, smart TV, Chromecast or media box. It is excellent for accessing thousands of options literally, but it’s heavily reliant on fast internet connections.

If you don’t have this, sadly the free-option may not quite cut the mustard.

PAY-TV SERVICES True TV is one of the most expensive but best options for movies and sports fans and is available via cable, satellite or internet. Netflix offers an excellent selection of international TV shows and movies. The variety of children’s programmes is a fantastic way to keep the young ones happy and quiet!

Once again it is available across a range of devices making it ideal for families.

Amazon Prime is perhaps a superior version of Netflix and offers plenty of content that isn’t available from other sources. Prime works well when streamed across multiple devices. Minix boxes, Chromecast and Apple TV, provide an excellent selection of free and paid content.

30 Television Guide

more info at www.tv.pattaya.guide

Stream your favourite TV services from your home country so you don’t miss your favourite programs whether you’re on holiday or live here.

SmartPlay technology ensures you can access more than 400 geo-restricted streaming services; Netflix, Amazon Prime, Pandora, BBC, and others. With more and more VPN servers unable to access Netflix, this is a welcome feature.

Have a Netflix account? Then watch Netflix USA for the full inventory of movies and TV shows.

ISLAND GUIDE

Sometimes we feel like we need to get away from the hustle and bustle of Pattaya and there are several islands nearby that are perfect for just that.

KOH LARN Koh Larn is the closest island to Pattaya and is just a 45 minute ferry crossing from Bali Hai Pier. The island has several sandy beaches lapped by clear, azure waters with the most popular being Tawaen Beach and Samae Beach.

Accommodation on the island varies from basic chalets to upmarket resorts.

The Phonpenyom Restaurant offers excellent seafood and the Klom Klom bar is modern bar offering music and pool. Transportation on the island is via Songtaew or it is possible to hire motorbikes.

KOH SAMET Koh Samet can be reached by ferry leaving from Ban Phe Pier which is around an hour’s drive from Pattaya. Samet has some of the best beaches in the region and the island has plenty to offer in terms of nightlife and water sports.

Accommodation ranges from small beach front bungalows to luxury villas.

Ban Ploi restaurant is a floating restaurant close by that is renowned for its seafood and other popular Thai dishes. Transportation around the island is either by speedboat or Songtaew although motorbikes can be rented.

KOH CHANG Koh Chang is around 4 hour’s drive away from Pattaya and is possibly the best-preserved tourist destination in Thailand. Comprising of 70% rainforest, the island has an abundance of sandy coves, beaches and wildlife. Koh Chang has a lively nightlife and excellent restaurants.

COVER FEATURE

The 8th Annual Pattaya Boat Show will be coming to Ocean Marina between 21st to 24th November.

This is the largest event of its kind in Thailand and always attracts some of the biggest companies not only from Asia but from around the world. There will be in excess of 100 booths and boats available along with latest engines and accessories plus everything else that you could possibly imagine that would make your sailing experience complete.

The event certainly offers plenty of glitz and glamour with the exhibition show time starting at 11am every day and finishing at 7pm, except on the final day when it finishes at 6pm. There are plenty of activities that you can participate in including taking a cruise on yacht and jet ski shows. Food and drinks will be available throughout the day with large numbers expected to travelling from Bangkok, other parts of Thailand, and from across the rest of Southeast Asia. If you are into your boats, then this is something that you should certainly visit.

It is perhaps fair to say that when we are thinking of things to do in Pattaya, boating or yachting isn’t one of the first things that springs to mind.

Yes, we know that there are the Yacht Clubs and, of course, Ocean Marina but this is certainly a pastime that is more closely associated with the wealthy and perhaps less so with the more regular visitors and residents in Pattaya.

However, for all that being said, companies such as Pattaya Yacht Charters are making it something that is more accessible to the masses.

Pattaya Yacht Charters have a wide selection of boats to cater for almost any occasion ranging from speed boats to super yachts and, of course, the ever popular party boats. The Ocean Marina Boat Show, may just whet your appetite enough to get you interested in chartering a boat and taking in the waters around Pattaya.

You can feel like a superstar or one of the elite even if it is just for one day.

Book as a group to make it more affordable and you can be sure to have a great time. For more information visit www.pattayayachtcharters.com There are so many things to see is you travel to some of the more isolated islands that go largely undisturbed by tourists – mainly due to the fact that the only way to get to them is to charter a boat. The ‘Far Islands’ as they are often referred to include Koh Rin and Koh Khram to name just a couple.

Both of the islands are surrounded by crystal clear waters and have stretches of white sandy beaches. As these islands are well off the usual tourist areas they are a great place to relax and is just take in the peace and quiet along with the magnificent scenery.

Most will know that the waters off Pattaya are renowned as being excellent for diving. This is something that had largely been unavailable to the majority as they didn’t own a boat, had no interest in scuba diving and basically, had no other means of getting there. Pattaya Yacht Charters has now made this something that is now more available and with the mass media highly publicising the boat show and the high season just started, we can expect.

With the Boat Show seemingly getting bigger and bigger each year, we can perhaps expect more of the boating a yachting fraternity to come to Pattaya, or more to the point, the waters off Pattaya and the surrounding islands.

There is so much available that many people won’t be familiar with as they often only aware of the main tourist attractions and miss out on some of the other fantastic things that are available.

Pattaya has so much more to offer than what initially meets the eye. If you scratch the surface and dig a little deeper you will realise what an eclectic mix the city is. Perhaps the Boat Show will highlight this a little more. email sales@pattaya.guide | website www.pattaya.guide

GOLF GUIDE

Pattaya has an incredible selection of golf courses to meet all budgets and skill levels that you won’t be disappointed.

There are 26 championship standard courses within 45 minutes of Pattaya, designed by the very best golf architects and designers. Clubhouse facilities are excellent with everything you might need and more, including great restaurants, swimming pools, massage facilities, shower and locker rooms.

Caddies guide you through your round with advice and encouragement.

Quite simply, golfing in Pattaya is a match for anywhere in the world at a fraction of the cost with each course offering a fantastic experience for golfers of all abilities (with no course requiring a handicap card). So, whether you are a low handicap golfer, one who enjoys a challenge or a complete novice there is no better place to play than the courses around Pattaya.

Green fees range from 750 baht during the week at Crystal Bay all the way upto 5000 baht for a weekend round at one of the top courses such as Siam Country Club. Caddy Fees range from 300 baht to 400 baht and carts are from 400 baht to 700 baht depending on the course you choose.

There are now 38 golf groups in Pattaya which offer golf outings and tournaments on a regular basis, and players often get a better deal compared with booking direct with the golf course. You can find out more by visiting www.golf.pattaya.guide or www.birdie.in.th - both these sites include handicap software so you can also track your golf scores and progress.

Pattaya has plenty of driving ranges for you to practice your swing before you hit the fairways, and the number of golf shops has risen dramatically over the past decade, with golf proving popular with tourists, expats and Thais.

VISA GUIDE

Thai Business Help has been helping thousands of expats and tourists from around the world with all types of visa applications, extensions and renewals since 2010.

They’re Pattaya’s 1st choice when it comes to getting visas and work permits, with many business owners, and even local lawyers choosing them for their fast and professional service that no one else can match.

They offer excellent advice when setting up a business in Pattaya, they’re renowned for the best value too, look at the prices in the advert opposite.

Some customers price compare, and always come back to use their services.

All too often, we hear of horror stories of customers who have chosen service providers who either deliberately mislead, or unknowingly offer poor advice which results in higher prices and add hidden costs, and worse of all, a service that takes weeks and months. Be careful of visa/business service providers that don’t have a website, or don’t advertise in magazines, or those that have been recently setup. This will save you a lot of hassle, time and money.

Thai Business Help should be your 1st choice for visa services, business services, bookkeeping and accounting. You can rest assured you’ll get a good service at a great price, with everything delivered on time to your satisfaction.

They also offer services that include company setup and company changes, work permit application and renewals, plus licence applications for bars, restaurants, guesthouses and hotels, and a host of many other services. So whatever services you need, from visa applications, extensions, renewals to work permits, business services to non-trading annual audits for your home.

You can contact them for more information or to arrange an appointment at their office in Soi Khao Noi, 800m fr. Sukhumvit Road.

MARKETING GUIDE

Understanding the differences between online marketing and traditional marketing that deliver the best results.

Over the past few years Facebook has become more popular with Pattaya business owners as a free alternative to paid marketing. Unfortunately, there are very few examples where businesses have been truly successful with just Facebook alone. Sure you can boost posts and set your targets but is it truly enough to capture all potential customers? The answer is no.

Traditional marketing along with online marketing is the best method for the majority of businesses to succeed in Pattaya. Most businesses have a physical address, from a restaurant to an office, customers turn up and place orders. For this to happen, exterior signage is very important, but how many times have people been let down by poor signs in trying to find a place in Pattaya?

But before customers come through the door, they will be seeking services maybe from an optician or a dentist? Many people search on Google and Facebook via their mobile, others prefer to ask their friends at the local bar.

Plenty of tourists pick up the Pattaya Guide, some expats listen to the radio in the car. Whatever the medium, try and cover all options for the greatest reach.

There are many ways to capture an audience, and if you have a good business model, you’ll use all available methods that suit your business and budget.

Since 2006, OPEN Design Studio, a professional marketing company have had a great deal of experience advising many business owners the direction they should take with their marketing campaigns to increase brand awareness, and more importantly, sales. More than a decade later they’re still thriving.

If you’re a new business owner, then contact the team at OPEN Design Studio and arrange a meeting to discuss your marketing strategy.

NIGHTLIFE SECTION

You don’t need to have been in Pattaya very long to have worked out that the city is brimming with nightlife.

Over the following pages we cover nightlife in Pattaya so you know the best places to go. For more info, visit our website www.nightlife.pattaya.guide There are some superb hotspots on Walking Street such as Sapphire Club, Taboo Club and Wildcats Agogo plus fantastic live music venues such as The Stones House and many more choices. In terms of nightclubs, you have Mixx and Lucifer that cater for a variety of different genres of music. Along with a few excellent restaurants and the odd street performer, Walking Street has everything in terms of nightlife.

LK Metro just off Soi Buakhao is another of Pattaya’s gems. Once again you will find some excellent bars such as i-rovers in addition to Pulse Agogo, Touch Agogo and other great venues where you will find some of the hottest girls in Pattaya. This is becoming one of the best places for bars in the city and has come on leaps and bounds in recent years and will shortly be overtaking Walking Street as the main place to go.

Of course, Pattaya has many other hidden treasures away from Walking Street and LK Metro. Soi Buakhao, and beyond all have an abundance of bars, massage shops and sports bars where you will once again find a wide selection of beautiful girls who will be more than happy to keep you entertained for an hour or two. Phratumnak and of course the Darkside also have their fair share of hidden treasures if you fancy exploring.

Naturally, Pattaya’s nightlife has far more to offer than just sexy girls and sports bars. Live music is easy to find and most of the bands are excellent, there are plenty of pool and snooker venues to keep you entertained, overall there is a great choice across Pattaya including the Darkside (East Pattaya).
