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 just want to sit back, relax and watch some great telly.

However, deciding what to watch can be a bit of 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 mean 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 paid streaming options that are available.

FREE STREAMING Free streaming is available to everyone who has a laptop, mobile device, smart TV, Chromecast or media box. This is great for accessing literally thousands of options 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 selection 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 offer an excellent selection of free and paid content.

26 Television Guide

more info at www.tv.pattaya.guide

Stream your favourite TV services from home so you don’t miss your favourite programs while on holiday.

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 biggest thing to hit Thailand this year has just been launched in Pattaya, and you can be a part of it.

Are you a holidaymaker in need of some guidance, help with directions, what to do and where to go? Are you an expat on the hunt for the latest bargains, the best deals and rewards points? Maybe you’re a business owner looking for the latest, smartest way of attracting and retaining customers?

The Pattaya Guide ‘Geo’ smart app has it all… right in your pocket.

‘Geo’ is available for free download via the Apple app store & Google Play store. It offers deals & discounts, flash deals, secret deals, VIP membership, user reward points, 2019 Rugby World Cup promotion & prizes, local business directory, online magazine, online radio, plus other cool features.

USER BENEFITS Social media platforms like Facebook appear to offer you all the latest and greatest deals, but the reality is that across the globe, advertisers have been leaving in droves due to the chaotic, uneven opportunities that stop them from reaching YOU, their target audience. That’s fewer deals for you to enjoy.

The ‘Geo’ smart app uses the latest in smart technology to know where you are and to bring you the best, most relevant deals and offers available, within walking distance, or a short hop on a baht bus or a motorbike taxi. Imagine, the latest info, more deals, more prizes and more rewards for you and your family, all in your pocket and available 24/7.

New deals and promotions will be added daily ensuring you can enjoy new experiences or stay ‘loyal’ to your favourite venues and be rewarded for your loyalty. On-the-ground events will also be included, such as our exciting plans for the 2019 Rugby World Cup with prizes and promotions in partnership with local venues. Plus the ‘Miss Pattaya Guide’ beauty competition in 2020.

32 Cover Feature

more info at www.app.pattaya.guide

MEMBERSHIP Enjoy free membership as standard or upgrade to VIP membership. As a standard member, users will have access to the business directory, deals & discounts and will receive push or iBeacon notifications of standard deals.

VIP members benefit from even greater discounts at a variety of venues.

REWARD POINTS & SECRET DEALS Members check-in to each venue to receive their discounts. In doing so they accumulate points which can unlock secret deals and other rewards.

Exclusive by nature, these offer a tremendous opportunity to experience the very best activities at the greatest discounts available.

PUSH & iBEACON NOTIFICATIONS Push notifications are an essential tool for any business to retain existing customers and acquire new ones. Our ground-breaking smart technology allows businesses to choose when notifications will be sent and who the targeted audience will be.

Geofencing takes things one step further and establishes a virtual fence around a predefined geographic area, sending a specific message highlighting the relevant local special offers and deals.

An iBeacon works in a similar way to geofencing, however it’s more suitable for localised high-density areas, such as shopping malls and tourist hot-spots.

Imagine walking past a business and receiving the latest info on their deals and promotions, delivered to your smart device at your fingertips.

BUSINESS OWNERS We provide a proven method to develop your business through the Pattaya Guide ‘Geo’ smart app by delivering you more customers from our user base.

Using traditional digital platforms, such as Facebook and Twitter you only ever reach a small proportion of your target audience. That’s about to change with ‘Geo’ which utilises smart geofencing technology with client profiling to push your message right to your audience, right in their pocket.

From 900 baht per month we can provide a smarter way of driving customers to your business by targeting your marketing to where people are and where they want to be. Email sales@pattaya.guide for further information.

DOWNLOAD THE APP & WIN To celebrate the launch of ‘Geo’ we’re giving away worth 50,000 Thai Baht in various prizes. Simply visit www.app.pattaya.guide to download the app.

Once you have logged in, you’re automatically entered into our free prize draw. Winners will be notified via the ‘Geo’ smart app.

THAI COOKING GUIDE

Thai This month’s recipe is the popular Thai Chicken Tacos that’s easy to cook even for the culinary challenged.

COOKING TIME Total Time: 10 Mins

Prep Time: 5 Mins

INGREDIENTS: 1 lb. boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces 3 Tbsp. rice vinegar

Cook Time: 5 Mins

2 cups shredded cabbage 1 cup bean sprouts

1 Tbsp. soy sauce

1/2 cup Thai peanut sauce, homemade or storebought

2 Tbsp. olive oil

1 cup chopped fresh cilantro

4-6 small tortillas

1/2 cup thinly sliced green onions

METHOD In a large bowl or a Ziplock bag, toss the bite-sized chicken pieces with the rice vinegar and soy sauce until evenly coated. Let marinate for anywhere from 15 minutes to 4 hours.

In a large saucepan, heat oil over medium-high heat. Remove chicken from marinade with a slotted spoon, and add to pan. Season immediately with salt and pepper. Saute for 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink inside. Remove chicken from pan and set aside.

Lay out tortillas on a work surface. Portion out the shredded cabbage, bean sprouts and cooked chicken into the center of each tortilla. Drizzle the chicken in each tortilla with Thai peanut sauce. Then top with cilantro and green onions. Serve immediately.

FITNESS GUIDE

A healthy lifestyle can be achieved anywhere in the world and Pattaya is certainly one of the most popular places people choose to stay fit and in shape.

Keeping fit and healthy may not be one of the first things that you think about when you come to Pattaya, after all, there are so many other distractions and activities but it is something that everyone can take part in.

You can walk on the recently improved promenades at both Pattaya Beach and Jomtien Beach or why not take an evening stroll around Buddha Hill at Pratamnak? There really is plenty to do without breaking the bank.

If you are looking at being a little more active and considering going to a gym, you will find some excellent options all around the city. Gyms are in most areas and for those living in East Pattaya, you can find the superb Castra Gym where you can buy all the necessary supplements to help with your workout. You will also find several places where you can play tennis, squash or badminton to help you keep in shape.

Fitness, health, and wellbeing are all incorporated under the same banner. In addition to the excellent gyms, water sports and other recreational activities that take place in the city, there are also a number of yoga and pilates studios.

If you are in a need of a bit of pampering, you could consider visiting one of the vast number of 5 star health massage organisations such as Jomtien Sauna, beauty parlours, plastic surgery clinics, spas and fitness centre mean that Pattaya really is the place to improve your overall health and look.

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.

There are very few places around the world as good as Pattaya for golfers.

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. info@opendesign.studio | 0890 160 077 | www.opendesign.studio 70 Marketing Guide

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).
