Visiting Pattaya, Thailand


Situated on the east coast of the Gulf of Thailand, Pattaya receives millions of visitors annually. Family-friendly Jomtien Beach makes a pleasant contrast to crowded, polluted Pattaya Beach, with its jetskis and beach bars. Daytrips to nearby island groups are popular diversions, as are days spent at Pattaya's 21 golf courses and slew of amusement parks. Although more families are now visiting the city, most tourists flock for Pattay's legendary nightlife. Baht bus routes cover main streets.

Destinations of the Day
Acapulco, Mexico
  • Resident population: 616,394 Annual visitors: 5,000,000 (est.)
  • Major features: beaches, water sports, nightlife
  • 3,936 TripAdvisor reviews of 199 accommodations, 68 attractions and 134 restaurants
Mountain views, raucous nightlife and a C-shaped bay with a plethora of beaches make Acapulco a more upscale, yet reasonably priced, escape than its spring-break cousin, Cancun.
Honolulu, Hawaii
  • Resident population: 374,676 Annual visitors: 1,733,000 (est.)
  • Major features: beaches, surfing, Pearl Harbor, Diamond Head
  • 31,602 TripAdvisor reviews of 414 accommodations, 206 attractions and 1,127 restaurants
If you visit Honolulu simply for the wide Pacific beaches, the striking views of Ko'olau's pali (cliffs) and the laid-back "aloha" feeling, you'll be missing out on much this city has to offer.
Dubai, United Arab Emirates
  • Resident population: 1,422,000 Annual visitors: 6,120,000 (est.)
  • Major features: shopping, historic sites, beaches, nightlife, golf courses
  • 15,630 TripAdvisor reviews of 488 accommodations, 71 attractions and 374 restaurants
With its ultramodern skyline, it's easy to forget that Dubai, part of the United Arab Emirates, was once a small town of Bedouin traders.
Bali, Indonesia
  • Resident population: 3,150,000 (est.)
  • Major features: beaches, water sports, spas, temples
  • 23,017 TripAdvisor reviews of 1,138 accommodations, 147 attractions and 379 restaurants
The Indonesian island of Bali is a favorite destination for both adventurers and those in need of a little relaxation. The waters off the coast of Bali's white beaches are an ideal spot for diving, while the dense jungles, teeming with monkeys and hidden stone temples, call out for exploration.
Riviera Maya, Mexico
  • Resident population: 125,000 (est.)
  • Major features: beaches, water sports, archaeological tours
  • 69,774 TripAdvisor reviews of 1,028 accommodations, 110 attractions and 301 restaurants
The Mayan Riviera, Mexico's Caribbean coastline, is more than just the resort town of Playa del Carmen. Stretching from the fishing village of Puerto Morales to the biosphere reserve of Sian Ka'an, the area offers visitors a plethora of both eco-tourism and luxury destinations.
