Pattaya, Coastal resort city in Chonburi Province, Thailand
The eighth largest city in Thailand extends along the eastern coastline, 100 kilometers southeast from Bangkok with palm-lined beaches and modern buildings.
The name derives from a 1767 military event when Phraya Tak marched his troops through the area, transforming from 'Thap Phraya' to current Phatthaya.
The Pattaya International Music Festival and Songkran celebrations showcase Thai traditions through performances, parades, and water-splashing ceremonies throughout the year.
Transportation links include regular bus services to Bangkok, daily train connections, and proximity to both Suvarnabhumi Airport and U-Tapao International Airport.
From a small fishing settlement, the city transformed into an urban center after American servicemen during the Vietnam War period started visiting the area.
