Developed from a small fishing village, Pattaya first attracted attention as a high quality beach near Bangkok. Overall beach length is 4 km, it is dotted with many small offshore islands where you can get if you hire a small boat. Beach is surrounded by wonderful alleys that are excellent for promenade. While southern part of Pattaya Bay is left for trees, the northern one is left for hotels and restaurants.
Geographically Pattaya is located in Chonburi Province that is divided into 11 districts. Greater Pattaya (Banglamung) area is mostly for beaches as it’s a coastline one. The most northern beach and district are called Naklua Beach and the most southern district and beach are known as Dongtan Beach. In general, each beach has own specification and will be suitable for specific purposes. For example, if you have arrived to Pattaya with your family, the best solution for you is Jomtien Beach as it brings in peaceful, lovely atmosphere and is children friendly.
Pattaya was first discovered by American forces that used this place for recreation purposes during war in Vietnam. Pattaya was chosen due to its location as this place was 20 km away from Utapao Military Airport. American Military Forces were that force that started the process of turning of small fishing village into one of the best resorts in the world.
