Pattaya city is a popular weekend getaway for locals and tourists. It is located at the Eastern Gulf Coast of Thailand and it is about 150km away from southeast of Bangkok. The travel time is around 2 hours from Bangkok.
Pattaya’s main attraction is its red-light district areas (i.e. go-go bars and beer bars). Its beaches may not be the main reason for tourists to visit this city as the beaches are not as clean as other cities'. Nevertheless, there are some sightseeing places that are worth to explore.
