If it is tropical weather and a place to sunbathe or exciting nightlife that you seek to explore, one of the best choices for your holiday in the city of Pattaya. It is a great place to travel to with family, as a couple or even solo.
A bit of history
The name Pattaya came to be from the march of Phraya Tak and his army from Ayutthaya to Chanthaburi. Phraya Tak confronted the ruler of Pattaya at the time, Nai Klom. The ruler seeing the discipline of Phraya’s army and his well-mannered ways surrendered the throne to him and joined his army. The place at which this incident and the meeting of the two occurred is known as ‘Thap Phraya ‘.
Nong Nooch Botanical Garden
This is an award-winning garden that is famous for the amazing landscaping that contributes to its beauty. Situated in Pattaya, the garden is home to over 670 species of orchid flowers. It spreads over 2.4 square meters and has some beautiful flowers apart from the orchids. The garden is not only about flowers, it also hosts exciting elephant dances!
The Pattaya floating market
Of the many floating markets in Thailand, the one in Pattaya has something unique about it. This market is known as the ‘four regions floating market’. The reason for this is that the market is divided into the four regions of Thailand, the north, northeast, south and central. The small shops in each of these divisions sell products that belong its respective region.
Art in Paradise
This is a building housing a unique collection of art. The art here is not just for show but, one can say that it is interactive. Why you ask? It’s because here, you have the opportunity to become part of the artwork itself. For example, you could take a snap that makes it seem as if you are flying over a dessert on a magic carpet. Pattaya is a city worth checking out if you happen to be in the vicinity of Minor Hotels or any other residence belonging to an international hotel group in the city.
