Pattaya City's main beach is separated in North / central and South area, going from a more family oriented to the iconic night life walking Street in the South Pattaya area. The destination, originally a small fishing village, has known an exponential growth in the last twenty years and is well on its way to become a premier beach destination. Both local and international chain hotels are well established. All the development and hotels are separated from the main beach by the beach road, running from North to South.
The beach – while a bit of a coarse sand is well appreciated by residents as well as visitors for its range of available water sports and activities. Aside of the day activities, there are many restaurants built on rafts and piers serving delectable seafood right above the water. Not to forget also the wide range of golf courses available in the close vicinity of Pattaya city.
Shopping is widely available as well to both locals and foreign visitors and on the way to Bangkok (airport) there are some factory outlets which have become very popular in the recent years.
There is a very wide range of accommodation available to all budgets in area, ranging from guesthouses to up market design properties, via family oriented garden resorts.
