For the past centuries,Pattaya was a small fishing village almost cut off the outside world.But after its beauty was discovered by the first group of American servicemen from Nakhon Ratchasima in 1961,sleepy Pattaya became Thailand's premier beach resort which annually attracts hundreds of thousands of pleasure-seeking visitors.The adjoining beaches of Pattaya City,from Naklua Bay to Wong Phrachan(Crescent moon)and Wong Amat beaches in the north down to Jomtien Beach in the South,cover a total length of 15 km.But only the area of Pattaya Bay called"Pattaya Beach"(with the length of about 3 km)plays an important role in tourism aspect.
For sun lovers and water sports fans,Pattaya's sunny climate provides ideal conditions for swimming and all other imaginable water activities,including boat sailing,speed-boating,jet-skiing etc.For shoppers,fashionable boutiques and shops of ready-made garments,silk,paintings,handicrafts,gemstones,jewellery and souvenirs are centred in the main streets of Central and South Pattaya and also in the luxurious hotels.
In short,Pattaya is the place for all.No wonder it has remained popular among those who come to spend their holidays from far and near alike.
