Highlights
  • Pattaya - Walking Street is an entertainment and red-light district in the city of Pattaya, Thailand. The street is a tourist attraction which draws foreigners and Thai nationals, primarily for its night life. The Walking Street area includes seafood restaurants, live music venues, beer bars, discothèques, sports bars, go-go bars, nightclubs, and hotels.

  • Bali Hai Pier - Bali Hai Pier – commonly known as Pattaya Pier – is a central feature of the city, located at the end of Walking Street, near the southernmost point of Pattaya Bay. It is a hive of activity, with endless day-trippers on the way to the nearby Coral Island (Koh Larn), as well as scuba divers, fishing enthusiasts and even private charter boat trips setting off or returning to dry land. The jetty stretches quite far out into the bay and is lined on either side with boats of all descriptions. It can be seen clearly from Pattaya View Point and has now become a classic image of Pattaya itself.

  • Pattaya City Sign - Viewpoint - Khao Pattaya Viewpoint is a small hilltop that offers spectacular panoramic views of Pattaya city. The sacred Wat Kho Phra Bat temple is also located on the hill and is one of the major attractions here. A photographer’s delight, Khao Pattaya Viewpoint is also the perfect spot to enjoy magnificent views of Pattaya Bay.

  • Big Buddha Temple - Get set to be amazed by one of the largest Buddha images in the world on your trip to Pattaya. Also known as Wat Phra Yai, Big Buddha Temple has a 300 feet high image of Lord Buddha and is the most prominent landmark of Pattaya. The huge image was established in 1977 and is often referred to as Luang Phor Yhai or Big Buddha by the locals. The hilltop location of the image also sets it apart from many other attractions in the city. A long stairway leads to the mighty Buddha image and various smaller images surround the huge masterpiece on the hill. Wat Phra Yai is located on Khao Phra Tamnak Hill, which is a popular vantage point in Pattaya offering beautiful city and bay views. If you are driving up to the hill, you will see the Big Buddha image from a far off distance as well.

  • Buddha Mountain (Khao Chi Chan) - Buddha Mountain (Khao Chi Chan) Khao Chi Chan is a famous place as it features a giant sculptural image of Lord Buddha erected on the giant cliff. It was built 1995 as initiative from then Supreme Patriarch who felt it’s such a waste to let these marble mountains were destroyed so he ordered to create the giant Buddha image on the cliff that was cut half already. It was also built to honor His Majesty King Bhumibol on the occasion of his Golden Jubilee

Intricately carved entirely from teak wood, the awe-inspiring 105-metre-tall hall on the headland to the north of Wongamat Beach is a one-of-a-kind structure in the whole world. Neither temple nor palace, despite looking like a hybrid of both, it was commissioned by a local business tycoon to act as a place of appreciation for philosophy, art, culture and faith, without being tied to a single religion.

Excellent day out sightseeing - Excellent day out, our guide Vikki was very good, lots of knowledge and tips and every place that we visited. Loved the Big Buddha, the Buddha Mountain, Floating Market and the Santuary of Truth. So much to see on one day.

A must-visit for first-timer ! - The coverage for this tour is awesome! For first-timer, all these attraction is sure a-must visit ! However, the schedule is very pack with the given time, it is very hardly that you can spend quality time explore and submerge yourself into the culture. Last, but not least, ART Paradise was NOT IN THE TOUR, despite it was in Aivtor iternery. We are only aware after the tour.

Pattaya barely average experience - Average experience with some nice sites. First stop is basically a parking lot. Guide made an effort. Last minute pick up information was a scramble. English can be improved, caused confusion at drop off. Highlights said lunch was included but it was not.

Confirm what you purchased before boarding - Most of the sites were worth seeing but we registered with one provider and it appeared another provider ran the tour. Ensure immediately that what you expect is what they plan to cover. Ours was different and caused challenges. In the end, the provider , Nok, did come through for us but it made for a very long day the way they organized it. The potential for a good tour is there but they need to be more prepared. They also added a Gem store stop which was the 3rd time going there and of no interest to us!

Not for Cruise Passengers - Website made it seem like they could pickup from Laem Chabang cruise port for free. Booked it months in advance. Tried calling to confirm pickup but no answer. Called viator day before tour and they called vendor who told them it would cost an additional $72 for our party of 6. We agreed because not enough time to book an alternative. They were an hour late and couldn’t pick us up near the dock. We had to walk to the front gate of the port. The sites themselves were good. Since tour started late and we had to leave to get to another event, we couldn’t enjoy sanctuary of truth as much as we would’ve liked. That’s definitely the place to see.

Not the promised tour of Pattaya - The floating market and Sanctuary of Truth were interesting, but the tour was less than 6 hours long and did not include food as promised. The guide was friendly but her English ability wasn’t sufficient. Out of the 58 USD I spent they gave me 4 dollars back. Not worth it.

Very bad experience with this company - They allow me to book the tour with meeting point at cruise port. I tried to contact them twice via Viator platform, in order to confirm the meeting point a day before and in the morning, they did not reply at all. They We only realised at morning that they sent a message a few hours before telling me that they changed meeting point to a hotel somewhere via WhatsApp, because we are in cruise ship, we only received that message in the morning. When I called them, they told me that this tour do not do port pickup. Why did they told us right after booking so we can book with someone else? I would like to get the refund.

Disappointed - When I was booking that trip for us (6person) they say pick up us from the hotel. A trip day they write us on WhatsApp that we need to come alone to meeting point. And pay alone for that. We was waiting on meeting point 1 hour without info
