HISTORY GUIDE

Pattaya also known as Fun City is Thailand’s most popular resort only 90 minutes 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, Pattaya’s nightlife is unique and fascinating with Walking Street, South Pattaya in the centre of it all. This is the most popular place to go amongst tourists and expats and you’ll find many go go bars, beer bars, discos, street entertainers and the odd ladyboy.

Food is another one of the highlights 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 then a million tourists from all over the world. Pattaya provides high standard hotels, restaurants, sports, entertainment and shopping. It really has it all and a whole lot more.

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 THB10 although for longer distances this may go up to THB20. 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.

UBER & 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.

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

Expect to find plenty of clothes shops and coffee shops but do not expect to find variety as most shops are selling the same things. Pattaya actually has a long way to go to catch up with Bangkok for variety and volume of shops but it is trying with several new shopping centres opening in recent years, and there’s more to come.

Bargaining is a way of life here but don’t worry if you don’t know your Thai numbers as most shop keepers will carry a calculator to show the price. As a general rule what ever their first price is, half 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.

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.

TELEVISION GUIDE

Sometimes the hectic life of Pattaya takes its toll and we just want to sit back, relax and watch some TV. 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. For a more in-depth guide please visit tv.pattaya.guide 22

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 beachfront 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 is generally 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.

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.

Thailand has a tropical climate and is therefore ideal for the pursuit of outdoor activities: volleyball, soccer, sailing plus many more.

However, for and in indoor healthy lifestyle, Pattaya is also among the best and the vast number of 5 star health massage organisations, beauty parlours, plastic surgery clinics, spas and fitness centre mean that Pattaya really is the place to improve your overall health and look.

Many people now choose to partake of the various treatments from facials, to waxing and detox to botox in order to gain that healthier looking body and due to the current price of treatments in many western countries, Thailand has found itself an entire new market in patients arriving for plastic surgery treatment and general medical operations which in their own country would cost much more than locally in Thailand.

COURSE OF THE MONTH GUIDE Designer: Nick Faldo and Desmond Muirhead Course: 18 Holes Par 72 Distance: 6628 Yards THE EMERALD GOLF RESORT

The Emerald golf resort provides an almost surreal experience for serious and avid golfers.

Nestled in amongst meandering hillsides and natural terrain and waterways.

It is an ideal setting for a memorable round of strategic golfing. The 18 holes are carved through a mature setting which still provides sanctuary to a variety of native birds and wildlife. One of Pattaya’s more challenging courses!

Facilities are by no means luxurious but offer a clubhouse with shower and locker room plus a restaurant offering Thai and international favourites.

GOLF INFORMATION GUIDE Pattaya’s best kept secret is undoubtedly the quality and value of its golf courses.

There are 20 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, superb shower and locker rooms. All courses provide caddies to guide you through your round with words of 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).

BUSINESS 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.

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 or challenged business owner, then we suggest you contact the team at OPEN and arrange a meeting to discuss your brand’s marketing strategy. Email info@opendesign.studio or call 0890 160 077 today.

INSURANCE GUIDE

Insurance is an essential item when in Thailand, where all types of accidents happen daily.

Whether you’re an expat or holidaymaker, you cannot ignore the importance of been well insured for all types of risk. From health & medical, to personal accident, to travel.

In Thailand, a trip to the hospital costs money and you better have deep pockets if you’re not insured. A serious accident can cost hundreds of thousands of baht, and if you don’t have the money you’ll be sent to the nearest government hospital, where treatment is a life or death situation.

You may own property over here, or a car or motorbike. Theft is a growing problem in Pattaya, and you want to ensure if the worst happens, you’ll be reimbursed quickly and fully. No insurance and your at the mercy of the local police catching the thieves, and hope that your items are not pawned.

You maybe a restaurant owner, one of your staff accidentally spills hot soup on your customer. Your responsible, do you have liability cover?

For a stress free future, been fully covered will save you lots of money, and ensure you and your families own peace of mind. We recommend using a reputable insurance broker who deals with multiple insurance underwriters, this will save you a great deal of time as they are experienced in meeting your needs within your budget.

So if your worried you don’t have any insurance, you have the opportunity now to arrange insurance to cover you and your family. We recommend A1cover.com an insurance broker that is connected to over 20 registered insurance companies in Thailand.

PROPERTY GUIDE

Pattaya is a beach resort with city status, with something for everyone. Year round tropical climate, there are hospitals, schools, shopping malls and supermarkets.

Add in the low cost of living in Pattaya, the friendliness, warmth and hospitality of the Thai people, and this makes Pattaya City an extremely popular choice for a secondary home or retirement The last decade has seen a massive growth in the number of people, particularly from the West, investing in property overseas. Some buy principally as an investment, while others buy a holiday home; and some a permanent residence, having taken the decision to emigrate. Pattaya has become a very popular choice

When it comes to purchasing a property, there is a massive variety of houses and condominiums, in terms of size, price and quality, to choose between, which, in general terms, represent outstanding value for money, particularly when compared to the cost of real estate in the Western world. There are some major difference when buying property in Thailand so it is advisable to take advice from a knowledgeable and trustworthy real estate broker 68
