As per my plan, I didn’t stay in Bangkok first because of its dangerous traffic. I moved directly to Pattaya because I needed to relax at the beachside from the beginning! So, here I am going to explain the thrilling 3-Day Adventure in Pattaya. Fasten your seatbelt and stay focused to know what thrilling events are happening.
Terminal 21, A Shopping Mall (Day 1)
I already explained that this day is for relaxation! Not so thrilling. I checked into the hotel, had lunch, and then visited a famous mall in Pattaya named Terminal 21. I explored the shops, product prices, and the wonderful decorations in the mall. It’s very nicely decorated with an airplane structure, and inside it resembles terminals from Singapore, the USA, etc. It’s cool and fun. In front of this mall, there is a small local market where they arrange local girls’ dances, local foods, fruits, drinks, and various shops. Until the evening, I took photos, visited, and bought some dresses and things that I needed!
The Glorious Evening Near the Mall
In the evening, when I came out of the mall, the market was very busy and enjoyable with music and dance performances by local girls. Foreigners are very interested in these arrangements. I then had dinner and went back to the hotel because it was a relaxing day!
Where is it located?
456, 456/1 Moo 12, Nongprue, Banglamung, Chonburi 20150. Nearby landmarks make Terminal 21 Pattaya an easy spot to visit. Pattaya Beach is just a short walk away, perfect for a beachside stroll or relaxation. Central Festival Pattaya Beach, another major shopping hub, is also close by. For getting around, you can hop on a bus, which frequently stops near the mall, or take a taxi, which will drop you right at the entrance.
When you’re on Pattaya Beach Road, just keep an eye out for the mall’s entrance—it’s a prominent spot on this busy road, so it’s hard to miss!
Is this mall expensive?
Not really! The brand shops always maintain their prices, so they cannot be considered expensive. But the local shop’s products or dresses are very reasonably priced. If you visit here, you will enjoy this mall in Pattaya! Guaranteed!
Skydiving Pattaya (The Thrilling 2nd Day)
That is most exciting day of 3-Day Adventure in Pattaya. In the morning, I woke up early and searched on Google for the best skydiving agency in Pattaya. I contacted them and asked about the requirements, read more..
Afternoon at Pattaya Beach
After skydiving, I went back to the hotel and rested for 1 hour. I then visited the most famous Pattaya Beach in the afternoon, felt the waves and the fresh air, and enjoyed the sound of the waves! It made me feel very relaxed. I drank coconut water and sat near the beach for half an hour before returning to the hotel.
The Late-Night Life at Pattaya Walking Street
After resting for 2-3 hours, I went to the popular Pattaya Walking Street! This area is actually made for parties, late-night clubbing, and has many shops and bars. It’s a very busy and loud street. You will feel the music, DJ, and dance performances all around. You can enjoy a night full of music. I walked on the street for 30 minutes and felt hungry, so I went to McDonald’s, had dinner, and then went back to the hotel.
Perfect Time to Visit
If you’re heading to Pattaya’s Walking Street, the best time to really experience its buzz is in the evening, usually from around 7 PM to midnight. That’s when the street is most lively, with bars, clubs, and all sorts of entertainment options in full swing.
If you want to avoid the bigger crowds, consider visiting during the week rather than on weekends. Also, if you’re aiming for the best weather, try to go between November and March when it’s cooler and dry. The off-season from April to October is hotter and can be rainy, but you might find lower prices and fewer tourists.
Discover the Various Club Categories Available
On Pattaya Walking Street, while exploring, I was surprised to find several Indian clubs on this road. They also have different categories: some are regular Indian clubs, some are Punjabi clubs, and regular Thai clubs feature European and sometimes Thai music.
Tiger Park (Day 3)
This is an exciting spot where you can get up close and personal with tigers. Imagine petting these majestic animals and even snapping some memorable photos with them!
Perfect Time to Visit & Location
For a great experience at Tiger Park Pattaya, try to go in the morning when it opens, usually around 8 AM. I also went there at 9 o’clock. That’s when the tigers are most active and playful, and the weather is cooler. Weekdays are often quieter than weekends, so if you want a more relaxed visit, aim for a weekday. Also, visiting between November and March is ideal since the weather is cooler and more comfortable. If you go during the hotter, rainy months, be prepared for the heat and occasional showers.
Location: It’s about a 30-minute drive from Pattaya’s city center, located on Sukhumvit Road. Don’t forget to check if there are any special events or feeding times—you might get some extra special moments with the tigers!
How much does it cost?
The Tiger Park Pattaya depends on its tiger size. Actually, which one you want to meet with or take photos of! The receptionist will show you the list of tigers! So, I chose a Medium Size Tiger which costs 700 Baht for one person. With this cost, you will get the chance to:
- Meet the tiger inside its nest.
- Touch and feel its body.
- Take pictures with them.
- There will be a guard to manage the tiger. If the tiger gets angry, the guard will handle it!
Is it safe to go near a tiger?
Yes! It’s safe until you touch its head. The caretaker also told us one thing: Don’t go near its head or touch its head or nearby areas like ears, eyes, or nose. So, keep your distance from the head and be safe! Follow the caretaker’s instructions.
The Pattaya Floating Market
The Pattaya Floating Market is a lively place where vendors sell their goods from boats on the water. It’s a vibrant spot where you can experience a bit of traditional Thai market life.
Perfect Time to Visit & Location
I went at 12:00 o’clock; the sun was high, and the weather was very hot. But when I sat on the boat, the wind made me feel good.
By the way, the best times to visit Pattaya Floating Market are early in the morning or late in the afternoon. If you go around 8:00 to 10:00 AM, you’ll enjoy a quieter, more relaxed experience with cooler temperatures. Alternatively, visiting from 4:00 to 6:00 PM can be great for soaking up the lively atmosphere as more people arrive and catching some beautiful sunset views. Weekdays tend to be less crowded than weekends, so if you prefer a more peaceful visit, aim for a weekday.
Location: It’s a bit outside of Pattaya, but definitely worth the trip. You can get there easily by car or taxi.
How much does it cost?
They will charge you 800 baht per person for:
- Traveling by boat into the market on the river. The boat has a cover that will save you from the sunshine!
- They will provide ice cream and juice.
After the boat ride, you may go shopping at the local floating market. The prices are cheap and good. During shopping, you may notice some local dances participating in the market. It’s a nice place, carrying a real culture in some ways!
Is The Floating Market in Pattaya Preferable?
In my opinion, if you have extra time, you may spend it there. If you are busy, you can skip this place. They provide nothing worth the charge. I would rate this place 50 out of 100.
Nong Nooch Botanical Garden
Nong Nooch Botanical Garden is a sprawling garden paradise where you can explore a wide range of beautiful plant species and themed gardens. Read more…
Is Pattaya Preferable to Visit or Safe for Foreigners?
Yes! It’s highly preferable to visit Pattaya if you are in Thailand because of its unique vibes. These vibes are only available in Pattaya and cannot be compared with any other country.
As for safety, I would say it’s completely safe to visit! Nobody will disturb you if you don’t want to be disturbed. There are many girls who may ask you to go with them, and if you think it’s safe, you may go, but I don’t know if they are safe or not—you’ll need to explore that yourself!
I really enjoyed 3-Day Adventure in Pattaya and got ready for my next destination, which is Chiang Rai. To get to Chiang Rai from Pattaya, I had to drive to Suvarnabhumi Airport, BKK, and then take a flight to Chiang Rai. Let’s explore together!
