8 of the Best Things to Do in Pattaya Thailand

What is Pattaya famous for? For many travelers to Thailand, Pattaya is a nightlife and entertainment hub. Yet beyond the clubs and neon-lit go-go bars, local cafes, massage parlors, museums, and floating markets await. The best part is that the TAGTHAi Pattaya Premium Pass includes the best things to do in Pattaya Thailand for an affordable flat fee. If you wonder whether it’s worth it, read on to discover how wallet-friendly it is.

1. La Baguette Naklua 

Enter this cafe and patisserie on Pattaya’s Sukhumvit Road near the Terminal 21 shopping mall, and you’ll immediately catch the milky and buttery scents of freshly baked baguettes. As well as baguette bread, La Baguette specializes in cakes, chocolates, and Danish pastries. 

Apart from the crumb that tastes even better with olive oil or butter, people love this French-themed cafe for its coffee, signature almond croissants, and homey vibes. One of the best cafes in Pattaya, La Baguette also serves European meals and several teas.

Using the Pattaya Premium Pass between Monday and Friday, you can get one of three sets for free. Set A includes a yummy banana chocolate crepe served with iced red Thai tea or green tea.

2. Sanctuary of Truth Museum Pattaya 

One of the best things to do in Pattaya, the Sanctuary of Truth is a visionary art museum north of Pattaya Beach, made entirely of teak. The architecture is reminiscent of the styles ubiquitous on the Indochinese Peninsula in the last millennia.

Arrive at the premises, and you can’t help staring at the four Gopura entrance towers that look like South India’s Dravidian temples. Aside from those structures, the 300-foot-tall spire is an eye-catcher. Beyond the visual delights, a visit to the Sanctuary of Truth is an enlightening history lesson. And, you guessed it, while the museum is one of the unusual things to do in Pattaya, it’s a benefit of the Pattaya Premium Pass.

3. Kloud Beach Bar 

A cafe, lounge, and restaurant, Kloud Beach Bar is one of the best Pattaya cafes. Epitomizing the style you’d find in a Korean home, its light-flooded design is visually appealing, as are the wide spaces and white-green tones. It’s also the quiet atmosphere, the ambient lighting, and the music that make Kloud Beach Bare an excellent place to unwind with a cocktail in hand.

Using the Pattaya Premium Pass, you can get a mocktail of your choice, e.g., the Rosy Blood, Pink Flamingo Island Tea, and others. Or, if your stomach rumbles, opt for the calamari dish, the salmon wonton cups, or the chicken and blue cheese meal, and listen to the waves washing ashore as you enjoy your food.

4. Pattaya Floating Market 

If you’re eager to explore a floating market with some tourist attractions, then look no further than the Pattaya Floating Market, one of the benefits of the Pattaya Premium Pass. Diving into a world where water transport plays an important part in daily life, you get to see more than vendors offering exotic fruits and noodle dishes from their boats. 

Watch live music shows and Thai manora dance performances as you dig into meats that come in a mouthwatering variety of spicy tastes, grilled on skewers.

One of the best things to do in Pattaya Thailand, the Pattaya Floating Market also has mini-museums and cultural exhibitions that give you an idea of Thailand’s customs.

5. Puwaan Gelato Pattaya 

Who said ice cream is only delicious in Italy? Puwaan Gelato Pattaya is a bakery that serves up Italian-like gelato with cookies and chocolate flavors. Just as tasty are the crispy waffles and creamy milkshakes. Oh, and, the owner has given everything a personal touch, from the homemade ice cream to the crab-shaped plates.

With the Premium City Pass for Pattaya, you can choose one of the various sets. From ice cream and bakery sets to sets with granitas, milkshakes, and cookies – there’s something to please every sweet tooth.

6. Kanenoyu Hotstone Spa by Gold Finger 

A stone’s throw from the renowned Walking Street Pattaya – the best answer to “What to do in Pattaya at night?” – Kanenoyu Hotstone Spa is one of the oldest spas in the city, around for over 20 years. With hot stone spa treatments and other Japanese-inspired sets, you can drift into deep relaxation. Pure bliss is also the oil massage. Picture what it feels like when warm coconut oil is applied to your skin.

TAGTHAi gives you a free two-hour oil or Thai massage. You can also choose the Gambanyoku Set, which includes a Japanese hot stone spa without time restrictions, a face mask, an afternoon tea set, and more.

7. Moom Aroi Restaurant – Na Kluea Branch 

Stave off your hunger pangs at Moom Aroi Restaurant, one of the best things to do in Pattaya Thailand. Off the main drag of the city center close to the Sanctuary of Truth, Moom Aroi specializes in Thai dishes. Need a teaser? Fried fish cakes with rice, topped with a minced shrimp omelet and served with sala loy kaew (a citrusy Thai deserted with iced syrup) are popular with locals and foreigners alike. 

You can also choose Set 4 instead, which includes tom yum seafood with stir-fried morning glory, rice, and the irresistible mango sticky rice renowned far beyond Thailand’s borders.

8. Tiffany’s Show Pattaya 

Tiffany’s Show Pattaya isn’t just for queer people and single men fond of ladyboys. Far from it. Undoubtedly one of the best things to do in Pattaya Thailand, Tiffany’s is popular with families for a reason. Transgender people clad in feather costumes with sparkling sequins perform dance moves while lip-syncing to songs in English, Chinese, and more. Don’t miss the opportunity to take selfies with them when the show ends, and do tip them.

These eight attractions alone would set you back $150 if you paid every time you visited a place. The Pattaya Premium Pass includes a lot more benefits than those listed here and is available for a paltry flat fee of $97.02. Check it out and let our blog inspire you.
