We had heard so much about Pattaya the good , bad & ugly that we decided we will go there and try to explore it in a different way though we ended up doing many typical Touristy things but we realised Pattaya has a lot to offer apart from the typical Activities that People do there . We stayed a little away from the Main Town of Pattaya where generally everyone flocks to stay which is famously near the Walking Street or Pattaya Beach Road . We wanted to stay very close to the Beach or we wanted a Villa or Resort facing the Sea or to be precise right at the beach .

This Place where we stayed was at least 20 kms away from Walking Street but it lived upto our expectations . The Resort had free shuttle services to a point close to Walking Street and was functional couple of times a day so that helped us make up our mind about the distance .

Day 1 – After relaxing we explored the Night Bazaar which had good colorful Stuff and that too at very competitive Prices .

We didn’t buy much but it was a good way to understand Local stuff that you get here and a good welcome to Thai Culture .

Then after exploring the Markets we headed to see the famous Walking Street . The Night Market to Walking Street is a long walk and we decided to Walk .

Walking Street is a very Crowded Place and you get to see a lots of Indian Tourists there too . People keep walking and exploring the Bars & Pubs . Lots of Agents try to get Tourists to come inside and see one of the Shows inside the Pubs or Bars , they show a Menu Card land try to sell these Shows . Also Women try to Invite Tourists in these Bars as well .

We tried the Local Thai Food here as we try Local food in every Place that we explore . Another interesting Fact is Pattaya is filled with Indian Restaurants so Plenty of Indian food if you wish to stick to Indian Food . In Pattaya you don’t have to worry about getting Indian Food specially on Beach road there are many Options .

Really Yummy Sticky Rice & Sea Food .

Tried One of the famous Thai Soups for which you need to have a aquired Taste , not something everyone would relish

A very Exciting Day ended here and we headed back to our Resort .

Day 2 - We began with Coral Island Exploration

Coral Island is also called Koh Larn but popularly known as Coral Island .The Journey began from Pattaya Beach Road . First a Speed Boat Transfer to a Place where you can do Parasailing which is a quick Stop on the Way to the Island .

Parasailing was a Satisfying Experience and thrilling too at the same time . But if you ask them too many questions about the Activity or Safety measures they get a little irritated as Pattaya is super Touristy and a very Busy place at any time of the Year .

Finally We reached Coral Island , it is a very beautiful Island but super crowded , atleast it was when we went which was the Month of April . Again it is full of Indian Tourists as well .There are many water activities like Under Sea Walk , Banana Boat , Jet Ski but if you have done Under Sea Walk in Australia or some fancy place it is nothing like what you will experience so pls don’t with any expectation if you wish to do Under Sea Walk here .

We had taken a Tour for Coral Island which included Transfers and Indian Lunch . The Indian Lunch offered here to us was really bad in taste but when you travel you cannot get great tasting Indian food everywhere . In the City of Pattaya Indian food was tasty but on this Island what was offered to us was not upto the mark .

Floating Market is another attraction here but we couldn’t gather Time to Explore this Market . Floating Markets are inherent part of the Thai Culture and an interesting way to understand local life here .

On the 3 rd Day of our Stay we were just chilling out and enjoying our Private part of the Beach and Villa Stay and strolling around the beach .

In the Evening we headed to the City again and this time explored the Central Festival Mall just 1.5 kms far away from Walking Street .

Overall a good a Relaxed & good Experience in Pattaya but we did miss many good places like Sanctuary of Truth was one such place on our list .

Another Local Food Experience We Had in Pattaya . Was Pretty Good to Eat like the Locals .
