Pattaya is a popular tourist destination in Eastern Thailand. 150 km south of Bangkok, it is a popular destination for those travelling from the capital too. Although a renowned party spot, with plenty of bars and nightclubs, in recent years efforts have been made to create a more family-friendly atmosphere.

As travelling to Pattaya and the Far East in general means taking a long haul flight for UK holidaymakers, the flight costs to Pattaya will usually be the most expensive aspect of your trip. However, if you search online, using comparison websites to help you, you can often find cheap deals and special offers on flights all year round.

Costs within Pattaya itself, whether they be accommodation costs, food and drinks costs or transport costs, are incredibly cheap, so it is very easy to have a comfortable holiday here without breaking the bank. To cut your costs even further, do your shopping at one of the many street markets, where you will find everything from food and clothes to crafts and jewellery at low cost prices.
