5 Things To Do In Pattaya
Elephants on stage and in action at the show.
1. Experience the Thai Alangkarn Theater Show in Pattaya
Did you know this
is one of Pattaya's most fascinating Thai Cultural Theater Shows? The show is called Thai Alangkarn, and it is a must-visit if you like theatres with something different to offer.
The attraction is also situated at km.155 Sukhumvit Road, Na-Jomtien, Sattahip Chonburi, with 32 acres. This project includes a prototype Hexa stage theatre with 2,000 seats in tiers, a Cultural Rostrum, and a restaurant with a 1,000-seat capacity.
The show's highlight is the use of live elephants in a mock-up war, which is pretty surreal when you see them perform.

Restaurants at the Pattaya Walking Street.
3. Explore Pattaya Walking Street
Famous
or infamous, Pattaya Walking Street is a place everyone must visit, minus the children. This main street is closed to traffic in the evening and becomes a carnival street, with all kinds of entertainment offered on this one-kilometre-long street.
If you must bring your kids, make it a morning or afternoon visit. Expect hoards of tourists during weekends, too. But security is fantastic, as many Thai policemen patrol the area.
From stylish and catchy seafood restaurants, live music bars, cabaret shows, gogo bars, clubs, discos, shopping, and even an Elvis Show. Read my previous review on Pattaya Walking Street.

Koh Larn Beach, Pattaya.
4. Visit Koh Larn Island in Pattaya
Koh
Larn is a beautiful island located about 7km off the coast of
Pattaya Beach. It can be reached within a day if you go there in the morning via ferry.
The island is about 4km long and has about a thousand residents, most of whom live in the main village called Naban. Visitors can enjoy many activities here, including parasailing, snorkelling, jet-skiing, banana boating, swimming in tropical waters, and even a shooting range.
If you want to explore the island, you can do so on foot, as there are temples and shops in the village area. Tourists usually visit the main beaches, as there are about 8 beaches throughout Koh Larn.
The main beach where the ferry drops you off is usually packed with tourists, so it is best to take a local taxi to a more secluded beach around the island if you prefer it to be less crowded. See more pictures of Koh Larn on my Facebook Album.

restaurants, and unique attractions like Ripley's BRipley'st Or Not and

Overall,
I recommend Pattaya to adventurous travellers as there is so much to do there. If you are booking a 3D/2N trip, you could do quite a lot in that short time. Please note that this is not your cup of tea if you are a serious nature person or like less crowded places.
However, for the very adventurous and ambitious traveller, there are several unique things that you can do in this fascinating city of Thailand.
Pattaya is also very different from Bangkok, and again, worth a visit if you have never been here, so enjoy the 5 Things to do in Pattaya, Thailand.
