Pattaya is a famous city two hours drive from Bangkok. Pattaya tried too hard to become a Bangkok with a coastline and lost its identity in the process, but now it is trying to revive itself and we could feel a shift in culture, comparing it with our trip six years back.

We have spent a day in Pattaya on two occasions and have managed to see most of what the city has to offer at a leisurely pace.

An ideal day itinerary will be:

0600 hrs - Depart Bangkok

0800 hrs - Arrive in Pattaya

0900 hrs - Drive to Khao Chi Chan Buddha - Because this lies on the extreme east, outside Pattaya, and is best to be covered early morning. A brilliant laser etched Buddha in the monolith rock, you won't need much time to see this, but it simply has to be seen.

1000 hrs - Sanctuary of Truth - This temple is a never-ending under construction temple, simply because they have decided to build a wooden structure next to the sea, and the wood gradually degrades, nevertheless when you have a billionaire backing it, money is never the problem. It is a beautiful structure, and one can definitely find peace inside if tourists do not make sound, we were able to sit quite peacefully for twenty odd minutes.

1100 hrs - Pattaya Floating Market - Now we have taken you to the west of Pattaya, this floating market is quite different from the ones near Bangkok, because it is a village along the canals that house shops. Very beautiful and definitely worth a visit. Take some rest, have some food, chill for a few hours.

1600 hrs - Pattaya View Point - The best view of Pattaya city and Pier from the top. There is an excellent cafe, drink coffee and take in the fresh air.

1700 hrs - Golden Buddha - On the opposite side of the same mound is a Buddha temple and a very nice one. This is the best view in Pattaya for a sunset, so take out your cameras and keep them set for timelapse of the city and the sun.

1900 hrs - Streets - It is all streets and malls now, first quickly visit the Ripley's Believe it or Not museum and relive your childhood memories, and then move on to the Night Markets and Shopping Malls one after the other in one km radius.

2030 hrs - Dinner - If you are a veggie, find yourself a good restaurant, plenty of Indian food options available, and for the true non-vegetarians, head to Nong Jai Restaurant for the best seafood in town.

2200 hrs - The one and only Walking Street - Pattaya's most infamous spot previously, has now transcended into a glamour street with Muay Thai matches, restaurants, discos, and also retains its old charm of go-go girls, ping pong shows, nude shows, strip clubs etc and the list goes on.

If you are interested in an island with no corals, then visit the Coral island next day first half.

That's it from Pattaya, do remember it is a crowded place, so living in Jomtien area makes more sense, you will be 5 km from all the action, and still, have peace.
