Description
Your tour begins with a hotel pickup in Bangkok at approximately 7:30 AM, followed by a two-hour drive to Pattaya City. The first stop is the Sanctuary of Truth, an extensive wooden structure at Laem Ratchawet built using traditional wood-joining techniques such as tongue and groove, butt joint, dovetails, and sapped spurs. The Sanctuary reflects the idea that human civilization is rooted in religious and philosophical truths.
Next, visit the Pattaya viewpoint on Khao Phra Tam Nak, a small hill south of Pattaya Beach. This location offers a broad view of Pattaya City and its bay. The hilltop also features the Naval Radio Station and a monument to Krom Luang Chumphon Khet Udomsak, the Father of the Royal Thai Navy, alongside a sacred Buddha image.
You will have free time to enjoy Pattaya Beach, a 4-kilometer-long half-moon-shaped beach lined with restaurants, bars, hotels, shops, and entertainment venues.
