Day 1 in Pattaya: Immersive & Digital Art
Start your 3 days in Pattaya with the city’s most photogenic indoor attractions. Morning: Art In Paradise Pattaya, a 3D trick-art museum where every room is a photo op.
Afternoon: head to Pado Media Art Space Pattaya, Thailand’s first fully immersive digital art museum, for 12 themed rooms of projection art.

Day 2 of your 3 days in Pattaya is all about cooling off. Spend the day at Ramayana Water Park Pattaya, one of the largest water parks in the region with slides for every age group.
If you’d rather stay dry, swap in an ATV and buggy tour through the hills outside the city for an adrenaline-filled afternoon instead.
Day 3 in Pattaya: Nature & Relaxation
Close out your 3 days in Pattaya at a slower pace with Nong Nooch Tropical Garden, a sprawling botanical park with cultural shows, elephant areas, and some of the best photo backdrops in Chonburi.
