| Pattayai Info |
| Pattaya the place for all tastes For the past centuries, Pattaya was a small fishing village almost cut off from the outside world. But after its beauty was discovered by the first group of Ameerican servicemen from nakhon Ratchasima in 1961, sleepy Pattaya became Thailand's premier beach resort which annually attracts hundreds of thousands of pleasure - seeking visitors, Fishermen's huts along the beach were replaced by a full range of accommodations from super deluxe hotels to bungalows and sunbathers from various parts of the world. The adjoining beaches of Pattaya City, from Naklua Bay to Wong phrachab (Crescent Moon) and Wong Amat beaches in the north down to Jumtien beach in the south , cover a total length of about 15 km. But only the area of Pattaya Bay called "Pattaya Beach" (with the length of about 3 km,seemap) plays an important role in tourism aspect. |
