I have been to Pattaya a few times. Once, I took a coach from the basement of the airport and reached Pattaya in about 2 hours.  Pattaya is a place where you can rest and relax as it is not that congested as compared to the city of Bangkok.

Other Attractions

Ridey’s Believe It or Not

Underwater World

There is a straight road around the beach from the north to the south. Just hop into one of those public “taxi” to get to either side for 40 bath or you can walk for more than 2 hours from one end to the other.  

Mini Siam

The Beach

You can stay a week in Pattaya during the high season as the days are busy and the nights never sleep.  There are also many attractions to visit.
