    Amazing place to visit while in Bangkok. They make you wear a helmet. You need to cover your legs, they do rent sarongs for $3.00 US dollars. You go in groups with a guide according to the language you speak, very informative. Souvenir shop and restaurant on premises.

    It’s a brilliant atmosphere most of the staff and people are Amazing. It’s got more bars to choose from than you could wish for. I felt safe here had a lot of fun dancing and drinking. The prices are not too bad either.

    The only set back to be very aware off is some bars. Jack Daniel’s being the worst and one to avoid at all costs. Will try to find sneaky ways to charge you extra. They offered us a free shot and a drink at a cheap price to get us in. Which was a warning as we got given a menu and no shot so the offer wasn’t real.

    After we were ready to pay for our drinks. One beer was 180 baht a vodka tonic 250 baht. They asked us if we both wanted to pay connect 4 they all love it out there. Bet us each a shot they would win. Shots were charged out at 190. We both lost which was fine. They then said that staff drinks are charged at more 250 each and we have to buy 3 even tryed to push for 4 as other staff were near watching. I managed to playfully argue we both got a shot each given to us. I then reluctantly payed the bill. As they have the advantage you don’t want sny trouble. That meant we had to pay 750 baht for drinks we wasn’t having!

    Tuk tuks are great but tell them were you going and you will pay 200 baht don’t back down they will take it. Otherwise they charge 400 baht. Grab is the taxi they use with an ap on your phone like Uber. They work great as much cheaper. But search for offers in the ap. They do cancel a lot so you have to be willing to wait. They charge 200 Baht minimum so distance doesn’t mean much. Always barter too for prices when out shopping always works. Beautiful place though shame some ruin it.

    Took the the family here, good value for money, excellent set up how they organise, lockers very beautiful plaice, lots of chairs to sit. Lots of rides, toilets first aid and showers there. Food and drink prices reasonable. They do offer shuttle services. Only little issue if you like to use bolt can be hard at end of day to get one. Also the horrible Russians are there in droves

    Samae beach is the best to vidit, additional 30 baht and 10 minutes by Sangtaw from Naban or Tawaeng. Its serene, peaceful, without jetskies around and lots of tourists. Loved it. Only pebbles when reaching the sea is voncern, but its hardly 8-10 feet, then its soft silky sand and cleanest water.

    Be careful on Jomtien Beach there are women wearing pink shirts offering treatments, you agree on a treatment which they hassle you for, they start doing something else and charge you for it. Got done for 800 bhat plus my had treatment for 200 as they would not leave us alone.

    We came here for cheap lunch at food court and a bit of shopping. You'll find everything here. Large shopping mall. It was pretty busy even on weekdays. Better come here during 10.00-11.00 just to avoid the crowds.

    This place is easy to find. The support crew are excellent at setting you up. I enjoyed the experience very much. We went on a Saturday evening and it was very quiet. Make sure your phone is fully charged.

    Have been to the Pattaya beach area several times.
    This area has a lot of life. Was at Pattaya beach myself on New Year's Eve 2024/25, and there were a lot of people there then.

    I previously visited in 2019 and wanted to support the park in its work looking after the Tigers. There is a line between being a good place for the Tigers or a bad place but for me while some of the cages seem on the small side I’m sure they get rotated to have more space and they are fed and cared for.

    I arrived around 10:30 on a Sunday, not too busy but by the time I left around an hour later the reception area was very busy so I suggest and early visit.
