Walking Street Pattaya
09:45 Hours:- Walking Street Pattaya is the biggest and busiest party hotspot in the whole of Thailand, with only a couple of the top places in Bangkok beating it for sheer volume and variety. A full kilometre from its high-tech gateway at the Beach Road end to the Bali Hai Plaza end, almost every building along its length is a nightclub, go-go bar, beer bar or restaurant. Each of the side streets – which span from Soi 14 to Soi 16, with a couple of uniquely-named streets in between - is more of the same, making the whole southern end of the city into a warren of nightlife entertainments, with something for practically every taste

Bali Hai Pier
10:00 Hours:- Bali Hai Pier – commonly known as Pattaya Pier – is a central feature of the city, located at the end of Walking Street, near the southernmost point of Pattaya Bay. It is a hive of activity, with endless day-trippers on the way to the nearby Coral Island (Koh Larn), as well as scuba divers, fishing enthusiasts and even private charter boat trips setting off or returning to dry land. The jetty stretches quite far out into the bay and is lined on either side with boats of all descriptions. It can be seen clearly from Pattaya View Point and has now become a classic image of Pattaya itself.

10:30 Hours:- Get set to be amazed by one of the largest Buddha images in the world on your trip to Pattaya. Also known as Wat Phra Yai, Big Buddha Temple has a 300 feet high image of Lord Buddha and is the most prominent landmark of Pattaya. The huge image was established in 1977 and is often referred to as Luang Phor Yhai or Big Buddha by the locals. The hilltop location of the image also sets it apart from many other attractions in the city. A long stairway leads to the mighty Buddha image and various smaller images surround the huge masterpiece on the hill. Wat Phra Yai is located on Khao Phra Tamnak Hill, which is a popular vantage point in Pattaya offering beautiful city and bay views. If you are driving up to the hill, you will see the Big Buddha image from a far off distance as well.

Nice place to visit
When I visited the first time in 2004 it was not that much going on its certainly changed now the view from here is great and it's worth a visit and it's free of charge.motor bike taxi is cheap you can speg a good few hours looking at the Bhuddas and the temple.
via Tripadvisor
A tour with a reasonable price.
The duration of the excursion was most of the day, not half-day as expected. That said, the excursion was well worth the price. We saw the Big Budda, the Budda on the rock, the Floating Market, and the Sanctuary of Truth. The pace was excellent. Our guide explained everything to the group. Our driver was also excellent. We had sufficient time to take many photos.

Pattaya viewpoint
Was here many years ago over 20 years ago but didn’t have reviews back then. It is still a must for foreigners to do highly recommended.

Why this scores 60
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Pattaya Viewpoint, Big Buddha & Floating Market with Lunch: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Pattaya.
How much does Pattaya Viewpoint, Big Buddha & Floating Market with Lunch cost?
+
Prices start at $74 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Pattaya usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Pattaya Viewpoint, Big Buddha & Floating Market with Lunch take?
+
Plan for about 6 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Pattaya is not rushed.
Is Pattaya Viewpoint, Big Buddha & Floating Market with Lunch worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 60 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.2/5 across 12 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Pattaya, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Pattaya Viewpoint, Big Buddha & Floating Market with Lunch?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Pattaya Viewpoint, Big Buddha & Floating Market with Lunch suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Pattaya Viewpoint, Big Buddha & Floating Market with Lunch?
+
Around 4 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Pattaya can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Pattaya and add a light layer if any part of the 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Pattaya Viewpoint, Big Buddha & Floating Market with Lunch start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Pattaya within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Pattaya?
+
On Outty we rank every Pattaya experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Pattaya Full-Day 3 Tropical Island tour Snorkeling Cruise Buffet, Elephant Jungle Sanctuary: Half Day Morning Program, Beginner Rider Tour Pattaya 28km ATV or Buggy Adventure. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Pattaya?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Pattaya?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
