Gay Pattaya: things to do

Floating Market Pattaya

You feel like a day at the Jomtien beach? See our list of local attractions and fun excursions.

Well, we know that well developed Beach and Pattaya gay scene bar can keep fully occupied: day and night. However if you want a change of scenery, then, there are a lot of interesting things to do in and around Pattaya. Here are some of our favorites.

Floating Market PattayaFloating Market PattayaFloating market of Pattaya

Floating market of Pattaya is different from those found in other parts of Thailand. They do not float. The site of 27 hectares, which opened in 2008, consists of a large lake that 'Islands' of stores and coffee has been built on stilts, all connected by wooden walkways.  The style of each of the buildings on the island reflects, to a degree, the architecture of four regions of Thailand. This sounds a little tourist and really is. However it is a well thought out and shows an interesting place to visit with many opportunities to buy authentic products of art and crafts, shows some pretty good regional Thai cuisine and see Thai dance and martial arts.   Open 10 to 11 hours.

Nong Nooch GardensNong Nooch garden

Highly recommended. The incredibly beautiful 600 acre Nong Nooch Garden have 14 different themed gardens and walks. They include cacti, French and Roman gardens and surprising floating oasis.  In addition to the gardens there are daily traditional Thai dances and a Show of popular performance of elephant.  It is located 18 km south of Pattaya. Open daily from 8 am to 6 pm.  Tel: + 66 38 709 358-62

A day trip to Koh Larn

Koh Larn is a small island situated 7 km from the coast of Pattaya Beach. This tropical island is only 4 km long and 2 km wide.  It has 6 white beaches with clear blue water, the majority is Hat Ta Waen, Hat Laem Thian and hat thong long. The island has a lot of restaurants and beach bars, which is a great day of Pattaya travel destination. There is a regular ferry service from boat to Koh Larn of Pattaya (45 minutes each way).
