Pattaya: emerald beach
The landscape around Pattaya is a low-lying coast on the Gulf of Thailand, where beaches, dense development and offshore islands have shaped both the built environment and local life. Pattaya grew from a fishing community into one of Thailand’s major seaside resorts, with promenades, hotel districts, seafood markets and working piers sharing the shore. Ko Lan lies offshore, while the Sanctuary of Truth in northern Pattaya is a vast wooden structure covered in hand-carved figures inspired by Buddhist and Hindu traditions. This stretch of Chon Buri’s coast is defined by the meeting of urban resort life, the sea and island horizons.

Tucked along Pattaya Bay on the Gulf of Thailand, Pattaya is a place whose character is shaped by its long beachfront and role as one of Thailand’s major seaside resorts. Once a small fishing community, it expanded rapidly in the 1960s as American servicemen on leave during the Vietnam War began coming here. The compact coastal centre combines hotels, markets, restaurants and nightlife, while the Sanctuary of Truth in the north is an elaborate all-wood structure covered in hand-carved figures. Ferries connect the shore with nearby Ko Lan, an island off the bay known for its beaches and coral reefs.
