Hello ,
I just have visited Pattya and Bangkok for a 5 nights 6 days tour with family ( 3 of us )
I am family travellor and providing you all details - it will help you boss
Visa :
See you are mostly prepared to pay 2200 bhat ( flights arriving by 3 to 4 Hrs- even they used to close normal visa office (2000 bhat) , so mentally prepared for 2200 bhat to pay , if you got by 2000 bhat then that your luck + savings
If you are paying 2200 bhat visa - they used to check return flight and hotel stay - nothing more
But always keep your insurance ready - travelling duration + additional 5 days better - this will cost you around 700 per person
1 to 1.5 hr within visa + baggae you will get and leave the Airport
1st i went to Pattaya from BKK airport via car ( pvt based) - journey time 2 hrs ( early morning roads have less traffic , cars used to run from 100 to 140 Km / hr ) .. u will reach by 7 to 7 :30 at your pattaya hotel
Note : most of the hotel check in at pattaya by 2 PM , so for early check in they will charge you 50% of the cost of a day ( plz pay and get freshen up - my suggestion if you are going with family ) , if with friends or colleagues then go early morning freshen up at Airport ( choose Indian style western commodes- means where water flush then to wash your self or else tissue papers for you to clean up)
Breakfast - u can take at your hotel but it will be costly as like 150 to 200 bhat per person , so better take English breakfast at pattaya in the morning at restaurants - within 100 bhat per person - see these breakfasts are good - do not enjoy something else than Indian
Visit - pattaya floating market - waste of money , nothing so great , if you want to be in a boat then go ( as if you have never been to a boat or else do not waste your time their)
If you go- ready to spend 500 to 600 bhat per person
Tiger park- must suggested - go with family , children will enjoy , spend 2 to 3 hrs watching tigers closely . Big, medium , small tiger 650 bhat each per person , smallest tiger - 800 bhat - spend 15 mins time with them - enjoy - this is memorable . For your photo shoot by professional - hire the photo grapher with 300 bhat if you want
Art in Paradise - must go all will enjoy , keep 2 to 3 hrs in hand , camera and mobile full charge - as you are going to take so many pics that time . They have AR now - download the app and take photos , you will find something different their . A china market near by Art in paradise - you may go to watch the food and fruits - can buy if you like
Alcazar show - must go , take VIP seat - see it wroths if you get A to H - VIP sear row - you will enjoy close . A market near by Al Cazar show - Crocodile , Octopus , all bizarre stuffs are being cooked their , sea foods , take photo with live pythons ( small ones) . Visit the market - record the things to enjoy
Nong Nooch Park - you have brought the ticket for show and lunch + visit ,, but while you go u have to buy to travel inside the garden by electric car ( 150 for children and 200 per adult extra thai bhat) - you need to pay this as you can never walk and visit the entire area - so prepared for additional cost . The 1st Thai cultural l show + Elephant shows are excellent . You will enjoy , children will enjoy .. You can feed elephant by 50 bhat for a some banana , i suggest buy and feed - enjoyment and happiness is their . Elephant ride with 600 bhat is their per person - you can do if you want . Here indian food is good . When you visit - you can take photos with Macaw with 50 bhat and with 4 macaws at a time - cheapest among each place do it ,,,, other location to pay heavy . even photo with elephant also 50 to 100 bhat in different positions can be done as cost is low among other locations . take photos - visit dinosaurs park , golden temples . Wroth of visiting. Gardens , orchid garden specifically
Coral Island - see activities banana boat + jet ski + sea walk + para selling - 2400 bhat ,, without parasailing 2000 bhat for rest 3 . .. Do all activities ...para selling is more enjoyable . Sea walk is good if the fishes came to you - jet ski and Banana boat is good one . Swim in the sea water ( blue , clean water) - enjoy the ambiance . and by 2PM your boat will leave for land and take launch at pattaya ( see by coat everything is so high than india .. but if you have never made these activities then go for . Yes sea walk is not available in many locations in India
Ripley's believe it or not - visit if have interest in history , or children wants to enjoy laser war , ghost shows etc. ( if you go take minimum 3 or 5 attractions)
Pattaya Night bazar - all are costly if compare to India
Now come to nIGHT LIFE - Go to walking street , Soi 6 , L K Metro - 3 locations majorly to enjoy . Cost wise Gogo bar , beer bar whatsoever you like bar -- is costly by Walking street , then L K Metro and last Soi 6 . I found Soi 6 have more young and hot girls than Walking street - see this is your choice and like. Enjoy yellow massage - the bike taxis can help you to reach anywhere you want - they charge 50 to 150 bhat depending upon distance for one side. In walking street their is new shows going on - as people will call u - Live Sex show @ 250 to 350 bhat per person - i have not went , u can check .

Massage ( family one) - see where ladies are doing massage thats very soft , but the differently gender's massage are really hard one .. price from 200 bhat to 500 bhat per hour - foot massage to thai body massage and oil / aroma massage
always stay near to Soi 15 (L K metro) , Soi 6 , beach line - hotels as easy to aces sable to all locations by walk
