How to Make the Most of a One Day Trip Pattaya

Pattaya is the epitome of a nightlife and entertainment hub, which is key to the city’s economic power. But beyond the neon-lit go-go bars of the Pattaya Walking Street near hotels, local cafes, massage parlors, and thrilling waterparks await. And the best part is that they are all included in TAGTHAi’s Pattaya Premium Pass. If you’re wondering whether this City Pass is really worth it, read on to learn how to make the most of a one-day trip to Pattaya.

Save Massively While Visiting Countless Attractions

One of the benefits of the Pattaya City Pass is that you can forget about ticket queues. While other people line up patiently, you get instant access to 27 attractions by showing the TAGTHAi QR code. Besides, paying every time you visit a place instead of a one-time flat fee of $103 can be costly.

 

That doesn’t need to be. TAGTHAi Has Partnered with:

• Restaurants
• Cafes
• Massage Parlors
• Water parks
• Ladyboy shows, and more

To give you a better idea of what you can do on a one-day trip in Pattaya, here’s a cool itinerary for you

Eat at Charm All-day-dining at 8.30 am 

(Price without the City Pass: $5.93)

Fuel up for an exciting day at Charm, an all-day dining restaurant specializing in seafood. TAGTHAi lets you choose from one of three sets. Aside from authentic Thai food such as homemade fried rice with seafood, you can also eat Western fare like green curry chicken hamburger or French fries with cheddar and bacon cheese.

Visit the Sanctuary of Truth Museum Pattaya at 10 am 

(Price without the City Pass: $13.99)

Who says there isn’t much to do in Pattaya early in the morning? One day in Pattaya with TAGTHAi can start in an enchanting way at the Sanctuary of Truth, a visionary art museum consisting entirely of teak wood. It’s situated in the Na Kluea neighborhood north of Pattaya Beach.

Apart from visual manifestations nodding to Hinduism and Buddhism – e.g., the Buddhist cycle of life or humans’ relationship with the universe – a visit to the Sanctuary of Truth is more than a history lesson.

One of the unusual things to do in Pattaya, the museum’s architecture paying tribute to the styles present on the Indochinese Peninsula in the last millennia is quite a sight. Set foot on the premises, and you can’t help staring at the four Gopura entrance towers. You’d typically find these structures at South India’s Dravidian temples. It’s also the main spire rising 300 feet into the air that makes for fantastic photographs.

While the Sanctuary of Truth is included in the Pattaya Premium Pass, please note that you need to make a reservation 24 hours in advance.

Have Lunch at CHAAM.PTYA at 12 pm 

(Price without the City Pass: $7.28)

Within walking distance of the beach, CHAAM.PTYA’s modern wood look stands out on Pattaya 13 Alley. The best coffee shop in Pattaya for many a traveler, is the Japanese-style CHAAM.PTYA cafe serves freshly roasted coffee, e.g., a single ristretto shot in a demitasse glass brimming with steamed, latte-like milk. Equally frothy is the Caramel Macchiato with smooth vanilla and velvety caramel. And the staff serves an Americano in lovely pottery.

The Pattaya Day Pass covers Thai dishes like Pla Salid fried rice, salted fish with onion and eggs, Chinese broccoli, and dried chili.

Enjoy Splashing Time at Ramayana Waterpark at 2 pm 

(Price without the City Pass: $30.75)

Looking for water activities in Pattaya? A day in Pattaya is big fun at the Ramayana Waterpark. Built on an ancient city, the 160,000 square-meter south of the city center is more than a waterpark. Besides high-speed water slides and three wave pools creating surges and swells for people, boards, and tubes, this family-friendly waterpark boasts four huge themed zones that kids love. They perfectly match the remains of walls and crumbling buildings that tell the story of a long-forgotten city, where Ramayana sits.

If you make a reservation 24 hours in advance, you’re all set for the waterpark complete with a 600m-long river with waves and waterfalls, two kids’ playgrounds, and a swimming pool for sports with an obstacle course.

Enjoy a Massage at Kanenoyu Hotstone Spa by Gold Finger at 4 pm 

(Price without the City Pass: $22.39)

You’ll drift into deep relaxation as the therapist applies warm oil to your skin during a two-hour oil massage.

Watch Ladyboys at Tiffany’s Show Pattaya at 7.30 pm 

(Price without the City Pass: $27.98)

An attractive show in Pattaya, Tiffany’s is of interest not just for Westerners who are single but also for families. Think feathers, sparkling sequins, and lip-syncing ladyboys. One of the oldest shows in Pattaya, Tiffany’s dates back to 1974. It has stood the test of time not least because it's been the long-standing site of the Miss International Queen. Once a year, the beauty contest awards the most beautiful ladyboy in the world.

But Tiffany’s is attractive not just because of this annual event. A lively locality all year, Tiffany’s has gorgeous transgender people showing their skills. Clad in extravagant costumes, the ladyboys perform dance moves while lip-syncing to Chinese, English, and Hindi songs. You’ll get the chance to shoot photographs with them at the end of the show, and tipping is much appreciated.

is a night show in Pattaya you’ll want to add to your itinerary. The young, old, and young at heart will utter oohs and aahs in admiration of extravagant costumes and props, as well as the ladyboys’ dazzling performances.

All the above-mentioned attractions would set you back $120.91 on a one-day trip to Pattaya. Now picture how grateful your wallet will be if you can visit all of them for a paltry flat fee of $41.04.
