Book Pattaya hotels

Tucked on the east coast of the Gulf of Thailand is a town known for beaches, elephants and hostesses. Thanks to these three things—and probably more—Pattaya has been attracting expats and weekend tourists for decades, and we know you’ve been eyeing it too.

Where else can you go to ride an elephant and see a live show that’s beyond your wildest imagination all in the span of two hours? Browse lastminute.co.nz’s ridiculous deals on Pattaya packages and save big bahts.

Things to Do in Pattaya

Don’t worry, you’ll have plenty of time to relax in your Pattaya accommodation, but before you do, wander the town. Make your way to Elephant Village Pattaya and spend the day getting up close and personal with the awesome beasts. Take the one-hour elephant trek through the bush while riding on the back of an Asian elephant. If you really want to become friends with the animals, keep a stash of peanuts nearby.

If you think you’re going to take the night off after elephant riding, you’re mistaken. This place transforms into a neon wonderland of bars, clubs and show palaces, and there’s no better place to experience it all than on Walking Street. Need a mental image? Think of the Las Vegas Strip condensed into a couple of blocks.

Be careful of the mates you make here—they may not be who you think they are.

Getting to and Around Pattaya

Getting to Pattaya is as simple as flying into U-Tapao-Pattaya International Airport (UTP), 40km from the central business district. Head outside and get a door-to-door minibus that will take you to any of our hotels in Pattaya.
