Pattaya, the sleepless beach city, is located on the eastern coastline of the Gulf of Thailand.

Pattaya Beach, one of Pattaya’s most popular beaches, whose white sands stretch for three kilometers, is pulsating with life and just across Beach Road hotels, bars, restaurants and shopping malls occupy prime locations along the beach front. South of Beach Road is the famous Walking Street, renowned for its nightlife, the street comes alive with music and people as the sun goes down over Pattaya.
