The "sun and fun" culture of Pattaya beach resorts, just a 2-hour drive southeast of Bangkok, offer something completely different for the entire family, including all major water sports, house-riding, tennis, go-kart racing and golf on a dozen challenging golf coursed designed by such luminaries as Jack Nicklaus and Gary Player. Children will enjoy water parks, model villages, open zoos, including the Sri Racha Tiger Zoo, and elephant shows. Quality accommodation, restaurants, entertainment and shopping help make Pattaya the perfect all-round holiday destination.
