Description

Forget the shared coach and the shopping-mall detours. This private tour puts just your group, a dedicated driver, and an English-speaking guide in one air-conditioned vehicle for a full day across Pattaya's best sights, on your own schedule. The day starts with hotel pickup, then heads to Khao Chi Chan, a giant Buddha image carved and gilded into a cliff face above the city. From there you'll ride a traditional boat through the narrow canals of the Floating Market, browsing local snacks, crafts, and souvenirs from the water. Next comes Pratamnak Hill and the Big Buddha, where many visitors make an offering for luck and prosperity, followed by a panoramic viewpoint and the Royal Thai Navy Admiral monument. You'll stop for photos at the iconic Pattaya sign, pass the lighthouse and Walking Street, and take in the wooden architecture of the Sanctuary of Truth from its viewpoint. The day closes at Baan Sukhawadee Palace, known locally as the Chicken King Palace, lit up with illumination and music in the evening. A dinner buffet with a Thai show can be added on site if you'd like to stay longer.
