PATTAYA THAILAND.
PATTAYA is Thailand's capital of fun. Just ninety minutes by car from Bangkok, Pattaya allows you to shed your suit or the city stress and let your hair down. In fact it has been attracting visitors to its lovely sweeping bay for more than forty years, making it the most established and one of the most popular of Thailand's resort centres. Although Pattaya is most famous for its nightlife, there is someting for everyone here and families and good value travel packages both enjoy the fun and excitement of Jomtien beach, which is removed from the bright neon lights of Pattaya beach. The city offers some superb accomodation, including excellent hotels and exclusive condos and many foreigners now have second homes here, particularly clustered aroud the small exclusive beaches of the North.Offshore are several lovely islands and sailing excursions are popular along with all sorts of fun watersports. But if you prefer to stay on land there are several excellent golf courses in the area as well as a whole host of cultural and family attractions. Welcome to the Pattaya in Thailand.
PATTAYA also provides plenty of on land recreation, a number of excellent 18-hole golf clubs, while other sporting options include tennis, horse-back riding, go-kart racing, shooting, archery, bowling, snooker...the list goes on. There is even a motor racing track. True to its city status, Pattaya, unlike other beach resorts, shows no slackening of pace after sundown. South Pattaya, popularly referred to as "The Strip", is packed with all kinds of restaurants, bars, discos, and shops. If South Pattaya is a trifle overwhelming, those seeking quieter opportunities for shopping, dining and evening entertainment will not be disappointed. Such has been the development of the resort in recent years that full amenities are now to be found throughout Pattaya which extends well inland from the bay.
Shopping possibilities are as varied as Pattaya's other attractions. Souveniers, handicrafts, gems and jewellery, ready-to-wear and custom-tailored clothing, paintings and more are all to be found along "The Strip" and increasingly at smart shops and department stores throughout the resort.
PATTAYA FESTIVAL
Wan Lai Festival of Pattaya
The heat in Thailand intensifies once the month of April comes. People of old were wise enough to initiate the Songkran festival to cool themselves off from the heat and celebrate it as the Thai New Year. In the central region, the festival is usually held on the 13th, l4th and 15th of April while in the East there is a difference as the water throwing activities commence on the l6th or 17th, 18th or 19th known as "Wan Lai" (Flowing Day). Pattaya City holds its Wan Lai festival annually on April 19th with activities such as water pouring for the elders, processions and the fun of dowsing and another with water, a time for Thais and foreigners alike.
Pattaya Festival usually held at the middle of April to promote tourism and Pattaya's reputation. Floral floats are paraded along the streets. The Miss Pattaya Beauty contest is held as well as traditional aquatic sports competitions and construction of sand castles. A spectacular fireworks display takes place on the beach and fire crackers are also set off. Simultaneously, there are arts and cultural performances, exhibitions and souvenirs for sale.
Chonburi Buffalo Races
is held in Chon Buri during October every year. The water buffalo is one of the mainstays in the life of a Thai farmer, but in this annual event it is put to more amusing uses than ploughing the local fields, such as buffalo races and contests pitting buffalo and man. Beauty contests add to the fun a festival that attracts crowds from nearby seaside resorts.
