DAY 1

Around Ko Lan · Nature·Views & landmarks

Directions in Google Maps
  1. Morning
    Ko Lan

    Nature

    Ko Lan is an island about 7.5 km off the coast of Pattaya, known for its relatively clear water and sandy beaches compared to Pattaya's crowded city beaches, making it a popular day-trip destination. Visitors come for marine activities like snorkeling, banana boats, and jet skis, or simply to swim in a quieter setting away from downtown Pattaya.

  2. After lunch
    Ko Khrok

    Nature · 3.3 km from the previous stop

    Ko Khrok is a small island off the coast of Pattaya, known for a large seated Buddha statue on its clifftop. The shallow, calm waters around the island draw many visitors for snorkeling, and it's often included alongside Koh Sak and Koh Larn on Pattaya island-hopping tours.

  3. Afternoon
    Ko Sak

    Nature · 2.2 km from the previous stop

    Ko Sak is a small uninhabited island off the coast of Pattaya, where coral reefs in the surrounding waters draw many travelers for snorkeling. The island itself is small and has few facilities, but its relatively clear water and quiet atmosphere make it a peaceful alternative to the nearby, more crowded Ko Lan.

  4. Evening
    Ocean 1 Tower

    Views & landmarks · 9.8 km from the previous stop

    Ocean One was a planned supertall skyscraper for Jomtien Beach near Pattaya. Designed with 91 floors, 587 units, and a height of 367 meters, it was set to become Thailand's tallest building, but construction never began and the building was never actually built.

DAY 2

Around Sanctuary of Truth · Parks & gardens·Temples & religious sites

Directions in Google Maps
  1. Morning
    Sanctuary of Truth

    Parks & gardens

    The Sanctuary of Truth is an all-wood building on the outskirts of Pattaya's Naklua area, designed by Thai businessman Lek Viriyaphant around motifs from the Ayutthaya kingdom and Hindu-Buddhist cosmology. It looks like a fusion of temple and castle, built entirely from woods such as maidaeng, maitakian, maiphanchat, and teak. Its interior and exterior walls are covered throughout with wooden carvings and reliefs.

  2. After lunch
    All Saints church

    Temples & religious sites · 0.9 km from the previous stop

    All Saints Church is a Christian church in the Naklua-Wongamat area of northern Pattaya, offering a quiet, understated worship space amid a city known for its ornate temples. It draws mainly resident expatriates and congregants rather than tourists, so it doesn't offer much sightseeing appeal like the grand temples do, but it does provide a glimpse of Pattaya's other religious side.

  3. Afternoon
    North Point - Tower A

    Views & landmarks · 0.6 km from the previous stop

  4. Evening
    Wong Amat Beach

    Nature · 0.2 km from the previous stop

    Wong Amat Beach lies on the Naklua Bay peninsula in the Naklua area north of Pattaya, stretching about 1.3 km. Unlike Pattaya Beach, it has no road running along the shore, so instead of shops and stalls crowding the roadside, it offers a relatively quiet beach atmosphere. It sits on the eastern coast of the Gulf of Thailand, about 165 km from Bangkok.

DAY 3

Around Ko Phai · Nature

Directions in Google Maps
  1. Morning
    Ko Phai

    Nature

    Ko Phai is an uninhabited island about 21 km west of Pattaya, the largest island in the Mu Ko Phai (หมู่เกาะไผ่) archipelago. Its name is also rendered as "Bamboo Island," a translation of its Thai name. Since no one lives there, the island has almost no development, and it's visited for snorkeling and beach time thanks to its clear water and coral reefs.

  2. Afternoon
    Ko Klueng Badan

    Nature · 3.5 km from the previous stop

    Ko Klueng Badan is a small uninhabited island off the coast of Pattaya, where clear, calm waters meet a beautiful white sand beach. It's a well-known scuba diving spot, home to sea turtles, moray eels, coral reefs, and other marine life.
