West Baray, also known as Baray Teuk Thla, is a massive 11th-century reservoir located around 12 km from Siem Reap center. This ancient site, originally built during the Angkor era, now serves as a popular recreational spot for both tourists and locals. Visitors can enjoy activities such as swimming, boating, and relaxation in hammocks without needing an entrance ticket. The clear waters of West Baray offer a refreshing escape for families and friends to unwind.
Great place to visit and walk the dogs or ride the MB around the shore so relaxing beautiful with many little bays you can explore or swim at 👌👍

West Baray Covering an area of over 1,700 hectares, the West Baray is the largest reservoir at Angkor, with a capacity of over 65 million cubic liters. Construction probably began during the reign of King Suryavarman I in the early eleventh century. The baray was completed decades later urder the reign of King. Udayadityavarman II, who also ordered the tonstruction of the West Mebon, the temple the 'eservoir's center. While most experts believe that the baray had a mainly symbolic function-serving as an enormous earthly representation of the Hindu Sea of Creation-it may also have fed canals used for irrigation in the dry season. The West Mebon is located on an artificial island and consists of a large square with 11 stepped levels and a sandstone island at its center, which once housed a reclining statue of Vishnu. A fragment of this statue was found in 1936 on the advice of a farmer. Considered the largest bronze statue in Khmer art, it is currently on display at the National Museum in Phnom Penh.

Last weekend, we spent one night camping at West Baray, Siem Reap. It was a peaceful and beautiful place by the big lake. The sunset was amazing, with orange and pink colors across the sky. We set up our tent near the water and made a small fire to cook dinner. At night, the air was cool and fresh, and we could see many stars shining above. We talked, laughed, and enjoyed the quiet sound of nature. In the morning, we watched the sunrise and felt calm and happy. It was a simple and wonderful camping experience to remember.

The West Baray is an ancient Khmer Empire reservoir that was built close to 1,000 years ago. It was used both as both a religious monument with temples on an island and along the shore, and to irrigate the vast rice fields in the area. The ancient city of Angkor Thom was built just a short distance to the East of the West Baray. Popular both with tourists visiting the Angkor temples and locals coming to enjoy a family outing along the shore. There are boats available to visit the island temple and a bathing beach with food shops, umbrellas and inner-tubes for rent, at the south-western corner of the Baray.

I went over there and I saw many tourists ( foreigners) as well local tourists enjoyed their relaxations with their families, their groups, their friends, and there are many local fruits for sales and its price is reasonable , tasteful, and sellers are so friendly and also water of Western Baray (Lake) is so clear and there are many boats for waiting the tourists to visit the Western Mebon Temple ( this temple in the middle of lake as in the east and there is 1 pagoda with) and I really like visiting this site and I can look the sunset or sunrise, too. This lake is so attractive with best personal regards from James.

A huge, man made reservoir that was built to feed the waters into canals for rice fields, during dry season - that was being told to me! However, many locals would flock to West Barray especially at week ends and holidays for fun time!! A great time for family - swimming, boating. Hammocks were constructed and to rent out. Local food being sold here.

Battambang Crocodile Farm is a secure environment where visitors can get up close with crocodiles of various sizes. The farm even has baby crocs that children can touch and feel their skin. A girl was thrilled to catch one in her hands and learned not to scare animals unnecessarily. While it's important to be aware of the danger of approaching large crocs, this well-organized farm offers an entertaining and educational experience for everyone.
Got what we came for, saw lot of crocs l, all looked healthy and well fed. Had mixed feeling about owners but in the end there wasn't anything totally wrong. Animals seemed well and we got what we came for for very little price 2$.
Jakub P — Google review
I visited as a part of a tour and I enjoyed my time there. You can get on top of a tall wall and walk on the wall watching the crocodiles down there. However, there is not safety net or fence. I see a bit of a safety risk. You can also pose for a photo, with a baby crocodile in your hand.
Thilina D — Google review
This place is mental, when we arrived we didn't expect this many crocs. Being this close to them and feeling as frightened as we were haha, super fun! $2 entree, $3 if you want to hold a baby croc. Only downside is that you're not really able to communicate with the owners so any questions you have can't be answered. Overall a really fun experience :)
Bryan J — Google review
Wow so many crocodiles and you get to hold a baby one. Had a lovely thrilling time for $2. You also get to walk around on yourself but there's a lot of sections with only one side of the rail so not for children or anyone with balance problems. Family run so she will answer any questions, she has children and chickens so if you all don't want to go in you can wait behind with them and just look at the baby crocs in a bucket :)
Sam C — Google review
It’s a safe place for Crocodiles tour in a close range. They have all different sizes who lay everywhere. They even have a baby crocs for the small children to touch and feel the skin. My daughter was allowed to catch one of them in her hands and she was so proud of it after all. It’s important to let her know the danger of getting close to the big croc, but at the mean time, she learned not to scare things while it’s not necessary. If you are in Battambang, I suggest you should go and see them yourself.
Jenny S — Google review
Amazing seeing so many crocs and being so close to them. From babies to fully grown adults, was definitely an experience and all for just $2.
Delta R — Google review
An actual farm chargjng a $2 entrance fee, not a tourist attraction. Be aware the pens are accessed by concrete walkways above the crocodiles with a rope seperating you from a fall... hang on to your kids! I enjoyed it
Ruth W — Google review
Worth seeing for $2 per person. It’s a working farm so don’t expect zoo conditions and you won’t be disappointed. The lady guide (she’s not the owner) speaks almost perfect English and is very knowledgeable about the crocodiles and happy to answer questions. You can hold a baby crocodile. They have a rare ‘blonde’ croc. They feed the crocs once a week - call ahead and ask which day and time and go and see that.

Ek Phnom Pagoda

Mentioned on 
+37 other lists 
Buddhist temple
Sights & Landmarks
Ek Phnom Pagoda is a fascinating site located just over 11km from Battambang. It features a modern pagoda and a large sitting Buddha statue, set against the backdrop of an 11th-century temple in ruins. The eerie atmosphere of the temple's jumbled stones and pillaged carvings gives visitors the feeling of stumbling upon a hidden secret ruin. Nearby, Phnom Sampuove offers natural beauty with its temples, natural wells, and picturesque mountains.
Saturday 11th October: Nice temple to visit, as you stand in front of it look right and you see the ruined temple, very similar to those seen at Angkor Wat. (You can't miss it to be fair) Well worth a stop off, some interesting plants and animals at the ruined temple
Alan H — Google review
It’s a nice pagoda, pretty much the same as the structures you would find at Angkor Wat and other temples from the Angkor Period. There’s also a little shrine inside the pagoda. You do have pay to get in. I find this p,ace to be one of those places you go and see it one time and you’re good. There’s no tour guide or anything from what I saw when I came. Hardly any people on a weekday.
Timothy T — Google review
Wat Ek Phnom, an 11th century Angkorian Hindu temple. Easily accessible with a few wooden steps to climb and only about a 15 minute ride from Battambong's city center. Unfortunately, most walls have collapsed and looted, but still a nice place to visit since there aren't many visitors. Wat Ek Phnom has many shady Bodhi trees and large tamarind and milk fruit trees, making it an ideal place to seek relief from the heat, and if you look closely, you'll see many pendulum bird nests among the large trees (near the front of the ruins). You can also stroll around the moat of wat Ek Phnom and the temple ground. You're visiting a place of worship, so dress appropriately and be respectful.
Amie K — Google review
A small but atmospheric eleventh century Hindu temple, so older than Angkor Wat! It's very small and there doesn’t look to be a lot to see but there are some well decorated door lintels to be found on doorways and on the ground.
Chris S — Google review
I had the best time here. Walkies around the pagoda and temple ruins were super duper. $1 USD entry.
Jesse T — Google review
Very cool temple to see. There’s both a new temple and some ruins which are older than Angkor wat, according to our tuk tuk driver. It was $1 per person which is fair enough if they have to maintain the place.
Noah T — Google review
Definitely worth the visit! The entry was 4000KHR or $1 It wasn’t busy at all, when we visited there were only two other people there other than the locals. It’s a temple from the 1100s in quite a bad condition, but definitely fascinating. There is a modern temple right in front of it and a big Buddha just to the side.
Sam H — Google review
We enjoyed our visit here as there is an old temple from I think the 1100s. This Temple is not in very good condition but that is what makes it interesting. Take the time and walk through it, its amazing, took lots of pics. There is also a newer temple and a large statue of a huge buddha. Definitely worth visit, I think the cost was a dollar. 3btraveler

Angkor Express Boat

Ferry service
Transportation
Ferries
The Angkor Express Boat, operated by Khmer locals since 2002, offers round-trip rides between Penh and Siem Reap as well as Siem Reap and Battambang in Cambodia. It's best experienced from August to February when the Mekong River water levels are high. The journey provides a unique opportunity to witness the beauty of Tonle Sap Lake and the bustling life of floating villages along the river.
We took the ferry from Siem Reap to Battambang. A very nice way (but not very comfortable) to combine transport and sightseeing. It toon us 6.5 hours. Mostly cruising the river with the busy life of the floating villages and friendly waving locals. The boat does look different than on the website😏. It is very noisy so take earplugs. There is a simple toilet and they stop at a floating shop half way for 20 minutes if you fancy fried Rice.. ticket 30 usd and sometimes they can puck you up at your hotel.
Claudine M — Google review
I love boats and I love the water but this trip was not a favourite and I'd recommend a different mode of transport between Siem Reap and Battambang. Seeing the floating communities and locals transferred via their small boats to and from the ferry was great but the length of the trip at over 6 hrs and the small size of the ferry are negatives plus at times it sounded like the engine was going to die completely! It was not in a great state of repair with loose wires hanging off! Its a narrow boat to negotiate some of the tight waterways it has to travel but it means you dont have much legroom from those across from you and the bench seats just have a thin cushion so not very comfortable. We stopped after 4 hrs for a lunch break but the food did not look great so I bought some packet items. There is a very small toilet on board that you kind of have to back into as its such a low ceiling. At Battambang we stopped well outside of town and had to disembark onto a muddy riverbank as it seems the local government has built a dam further upstream and banned boats from travelling further! Not sure if this is temporary or long term. As a result its a USD5 Tuk Tuk into town
David S — Google review
The price proposed by this company for the boat transfer from Siem Reap to Battambang (or the other way) is really expensive compared to normal prices to the normal counter office, and even much more expensive than prices for local people. And absolutely no service justifying this price. A scam!
Devy J — Google review
Interesting journey! See the floating villages! But seats are incredibly uncomfortable. The 6 hour journey took seven hours. Watch out for this unscrupulous tuk-tuk driver at the Battambang end! Not recommended to hire him for any length of journey. He's unnaturally happy, but his follow-up sales tactics leave much to be desired.
Gerry C — Google review
It was a good way of getting close to the floating villages AND getting from Siem Reap to Battambang. It took us close to 9h in end of February 2020 due to dry season and we couldn't reach Battambang but stopped before it. No aircondition but airstream from boat speed (23km/h max). Boat had sun roof and a small hole-in-the-flor toilet. No drinks provided on board. If you are looking for "local-kind-of-adventure" this is EXACTLY your thing. If not go by bus. Startet at ~7am in Siem Reap by getting picked up at the hotel with a pick up truck (with what else?! 😁😁 ) Drove probably 40min to an harbor outside of Siem (at Siem Reap River). Went over the TonleSap to Sangker River. Lots of floating villages on this riverside. Nice to watch. 👍😎 Had "lunch" at 12 in boat stop. You might want to bring your own lunch. After the lunch break the rivers gotten thiner and driving was not easy anymore. Jurney got a bit boring. Reached a place close to Battambang finally at ~4pm. There a tuktuk has to be taken and paid to get to your hotel (paid 5$).
Schorsch S — Google review
Attention fraud! you get thrown off the boat 20km from Siem Reap in no man's land. Everything arranged. tuk tuk drivers are waiting on site and charge $5 per person to be taken to Siem reap. there are no other ways to get there. There is also no internet to call a vehicle with the Pass app. The boat it also not the same like on the picture.
Aiken A — Google review
For me it is fraud! I bought tickets from Battambang to Siem Reap. But, the driver stopped about 20km before Siem Reap, everyone had to get out and walk to the already waiting tuk tuks. For an inflated price you have to be driven into town for another $5. So in total I paid 35 euros for 6,5 hours on a small boat on which you can not move, with a short stopover and with fraud later.
Iona L — Google review
Echo what everyone else has said. Wish I read these before travelling. It too us 11 hours door to door between BB and SR and cost $30 for first transfer and boat trip. They dropped us off 39 minutes away from SR and we had to take the tuk tuks available. They started at $8 each but when we complained dropped to $6 each. Just be aware before you book. It is a long and uncomfortable trip. The scenery is lovely but only for the first couple of hours. Then it becomess boring.

Prasat Sdok Kok Thom is a remarkably preserved stone Khmer-style Hindu temple from the 11th century CE, located in Thailand. This historical landmark is the top site for historical parks in Thailand and boasts tourist signage, maps, information clearly marked, ample parking space, helpful staff, clean modern toilets and well-maintained buildings and grounds with shady areas. Best of all - there are no tourist charges to visit this non-commercial park!

This is an ancient Hindu ruins that you would only see in a history textbook. The ruins, the exhibition hall where the relics are displayed, the parking lot, etc. are all very well managed. There is no separate entrance fee, and if you are visiting this area, I highly recommend you visit this place.

Cool place to see if you're passing bye, although I wouldn't go too far out of my way to visit. If you've been to Ankor Wat, it's not going to impress, same style architecture, just on a small scale. Very hot area, sweltering heat makes it hard to hang around too long. It's free to enter even for foreigners, which is a nice change for Thailand.

One of the lesser known major historic structures from the days of the Khmer Empire. It is located near the Cambodian border in Thailand and boasts with beautiful structures, informative digital information centre and staff who keeps the area astonishingly clean. Due to its remote location, the site receives very few visitors. No fees. Pay a visit and feel special!

Avery well maintained historic park. There is plenty of parking and nice clean restrooms. There was no entry fee on the day I went. The main structure was a marvel to look at even if parts were restored. This is not a very big site so it’s easy to see everything in less than a hour.

Very beautiful even just stepping into the compound of this place. Well maintained and preserved temple. A bit difficult to travel from aranyaphrathet to this place even it is only 30km sth. Need to rent Tuk Tuk for 800bht from aranyaphrathet n wait n sending off to the main road of khouk song district. After all, it is very beautiful n recommended temple to visit if you are in Sa Keo or Aranyaphrathet.

We came right at the place a bit late, around 17.00 something but luckily the security guy was very kind, he allowed us to go in. We have a good opportunity to capture this exquisite castle with the twighlight background. Glad to visit.

2. HAND HEAVEN To call Rong Kluea market anything else would not be fair. I do not know where all the 2. clothes come from originally. I was told that the majority of the seller's which is from Cambodia bring all the products they are selling them from Cambodia. The goods are brought to the market from Cambodia on big hand-pulled carts. The products are mostly 2. hand clothes mixed with some new copy products. The 2. hand clothes look like is origins from the west, how it end up at a border market in Thailand's one can only wonder about. The market is supplying most of the 2. hand clothes shops around Thailand. When you look at the license plates at the cars at the parking lots you see cars from all over Thailand.

A stone’s throw away from cambodia border. You could find plenty of goods here, ranging from sneakers, flip flop, bags, household items, cosmetic, etc. Most of the merchants are khmer.

A great night market. Like mostly night market, you need to have a bargain skill before buying things.
Margareta H — Google review
If you are looking for second hand clothes, brand name handbag, original or copy clothes/shoes, machinary and toy, this is the place. Not worth going just to buy few items but if you need to buy a lot or just on the way to or out of Cambodia, great place to stop by at least couple of hours. Better take a bus from Ekamai bus terminal or Lumpini Park.

Golden Gate Plaza Thailand border is so much cheaper than buying in Poipet or the country Cambodia itself. I save a lot of money buying there and a lot of Khmer merchants who have their own stores in Cambodia would buy whatever they need in stocks at a discount rate and sale them in Cambodia for a huge profit. If anyone of you want to save money, shop in Thailand either at the Golden Gate Plaza or somewhere else in Thailand, you will save lots of money. Here in Cambodia, it is the land where one get scammed, get rip off, lied to. Khmer merchants will lied through their teeth and raise the price of whatever you want to buy. Very dishonest. Go to Golden Gate Plaza.

The Verona at Tub Lan

Hotel
Sights & Landmarks
The Verona at Tub Lan is an unconventional hotel that features cowboy-themed quarters, situated within a themed resort that boasts dining and various activities. The location itself is picturesque with a reconstruction of traditional Veronese buildings, making it ideal for Instagram-worthy photo opportunities. Despite the current situation due to Covid-19 resulting in some outlets being closed, it remains a great place to rest and take photos upon check-in. The hotel rooms are spacious and include large bathtubs for added comfort.
Nice place, good location. It’s about 3 hours from Bangkok by car.
Sutida S — Google review
The hotel looked good from the outside, but the interior felt somewhat outdated to me. Unfortunately, there was a strong unpleasant odor in the bathroom coming from the drainage system, which was quite overpowering. Additionally, the towels didn’t seem very clean and had a yellowish tint. However, the overall facilities were decent. The main issue I encountered was the poor service from the IT team. I attended a seminar at the hotel and needed to use the projector, but the screen quality was terrible, with numerous lines appearing across the display and distorted colors. When I asked the staff for assistance, they had little to no knowledge of how to fix the issue or even how to properly connect my laptop to the equipment. They seemed very young and inexperienced, which made the situation even more frustrating. That being said, I was impressed with other staff members, such as the drivers and restaurant staff. They provided professional, attentive, and friendly service, which made my stay much more pleasant.
Supramongkhon F — Google review
It would be an extremely beautiful and stylish gas station with Italian flair. I wasn't in the hotel, just at the rest stop. Unfortunately, as is often the case, it was built once, opened with great fanfare, but then the necessary maintenance of such a complex was seemingly forgotten! It looks a bit run-down in places.

Good for a quick get away from busy city. Nothing worth a return but a good get away. As there is no other choices around her. The place is run down while the original idea must be awesome. But seems like the owner are not bothered anymore or it’s just not worth the effort.

Serene mountainside gardens featuring exotic fruit trees & plants, tours & a fruit buffet.
The entrance is cheap, there is a lot of diferent animals you can play whit and feed for cheap. There is easy access to the bathroom and there is both an indoor and outdoor café plus extra places you can have picnic if you want. There is also a lot of things you can take foto whit your friends or family.

Well well, another cattle herding facility: not recommended. Busses of big groups. Ticket counters and waiting areas. Factory-like processing of tourists. Mass feeding on fruit buffets. See a fruit orchard from the safe seat of your train. No need to walk or move. Buffet is decent - but you better eat a lot to make it worth the money. Specials like Durian are extra. The fruit itself is really delicious. Would I come back? Definitely NOT!
Matt ( — Google review
We booked an all-you-can-eat durian tour for 35 people, but the experience was extremely disappointing. Upon arrival, the staff made us wait in line for over an hour. When it was finally our turn, we were told that the durian had run out and were offered fried chicken instead. To make matters worse, they attempted to charge us half the price we originally paid for the durian tour. I strongly recommend staying away from this place—you could end up in the same situation.

Nice Place in a Valley surrounded with Hills and Trees. Fruit Farm, Sheep Farm, Restaurants, Coffe Shop, Caravan Park for Accommodation and many more. Waiting for enjoy the Fruit Buffet if the Season starts.
Lebua T — Google review
Come here to introduce your self Durian, Rambutan and some other exotic fruits in the fruit season. You get fruits, salads and chicken thighs buffet with ticket B, for 350 bahts. with ticket A, higher priced, you get durians as well. Tram Bus takes you to the buffet, that is first stop later, tour around the farm. You can take pictures with Durian trees. There is a sheep farm next to it also. Camping and caravanning you can do here, there is a small pond next to it. But I didn't find durian sold here cheap. It was 250 per kg. Normally 150 right in the centre of Pattaya where farmers sell direct to consumers.
Sonny K — Google review
Suan Lamai (sheep farm) is a very large garden and farm that grows a diverse range of fruits and flowers. One can easily spend most of a day exploring the area. You can purchase fresh produce, flowers or feed the sheep. There are several places to eat, indoors and outside. Dress comfortably and wear. Comfortable shoes or sandals. Be prepared to walk a lot. The terrain is hilly, but there are buses to take you to the higher areas. A beautiful and fun place to visit.
David D — Google review
I have to admit we did not spend too much time to explore the gardens. But it is a nice place to shoot some pictures. We also did visit the coffee shop, but I did not like my coffee Americano wasn't delicious and the muffin was heated up too much. A little disappointing.

WAT SAMAN RATTANARAM

Mentioned on 
5 lists 
Buddhist temple
Sights & Landmarks
Wat Saman Rattanaram is a vibrant and captivating temple in Chachoengsao, Thailand. The main highlight is the enormous pink statue of the Hindu deity Ganesha, which measures 16 meters tall and 22 meters long. The temple grounds also feature a variety of other large and intriguing statues representing figures from Thai, Chinese, Buddhist, and Hindu traditions. Visitors can explore shrines dedicated to different deities, creating a harmonious fusion of cultures and religions.
Wat Saman Rattanaram is a famous temple in Chachoengsao with a big pink Ganesha statue. The statue is huge and beautiful — you can see it from far away! It’s very peaceful there, and the temple is next to a calm river. You can also see many other Ganesha statues around the big one. People like to whisper their wishes into the mouse statue’s ear — it’s fun and special. There are lots of spots to take nice photos. Great place to relax and feel lucky. There are shops nearby selling snacks and souvenirs. Easy to visit if you’re coming from Bangkok. Really worth a stop if you’re exploring nearby places!

The pink Ganesha has a charming presence. The area around it is lined with various shops, making it lively on weekends. In front of the statue, you’ll find three mice. Since you’re here, don’t miss the chance to whisper your wishes into the ear of one of them.

A very interesting and unique temple. spread over a large area, this temple seems to have a Chinese theme from the type of the decoration and design. Car park is free and available in many areas around the temple. There’s also a 7Eleven, lots of small shops and stalls selling various items from fruits and vegetables, to sun-dried fish and other stuff. There are also few small restaurants as well as larger ones by the river. Many people come to visit and perform rituals and take photos. Enjoyable and nice.

We came here on 5 October 2025. Perfect weather today as the rain ended. A great place to visit. Nice temple area. Toilets and car park spots are available. A huge market area is here too. Many local produce. Affordable fruits and vegetables. We can come back here again 😃
Christopher L — Google review
Visiting Wat Saman Rattanaram was a truly unforgettable experience! This temple, located in Chachoengsao, is home to the largest Pink Ganesha statue in Thailand, and it’s absolutely breathtaking in person. The giant reclining Ganesha—standing at about 16 meters high and 24 meters long—radiates positivity and calmness. Unlike traditional depictions, this Ganesha is painted pink, symbolizing kindness, compassion, and the removal of obstacles in a gentle way. What makes this temple even more fascinating is how it blends Hindu, Buddhist, and Chinese cultural influences in one place. Surrounding the main statue are numerous smaller deities, including the mouse statues believed to carry wishes directly to Ganesha—each color of mouse represents a different day of the week and has a unique spiritual meaning! The atmosphere here is vibrant yet peaceful. You’ll find local food stalls, souvenir shops, and floating markets nearby, making it a wonderful place to spend a few hours. The temple is well-maintained, colorful, and full of life—a perfect reflection of Thai spirituality and creativity. The Pink Ganesha holds a rosary, a broken tusk, and a sweet (laddu)—each symbolizing wisdom, perseverance, and life’s sweetness. Devotees whisper their wishes into the ears of Ganesha’s mice statues to send their prayers directly to him. The temple also features statues of Chinese gods, the Hindu god Vishnu, and the Buddha, showcasing Thailand’s harmony between different faiths. On weekends, you can enjoy a floating market and boat rides along the river nearby. Overall, Wat Saman Rattanaram is not just a temple—it’s a cultural experience. Whether you’re seeking blessings, stunning photo spots, or a deeper understanding of Thai spiritual fusion, this place is a must-visit!

Mae Ram Phueng Beach

Mentioned on

Beach

Mae Ram Phueng Beach is a 12-kilometer long stretch of white sandy shoreline, making it the longest beach in the province. The area is adorned with tall casuarina trees that provide ample shade and add to its allure. Visitors can enjoy a variety of water activities such as snorkeling, swimming, and scuba diving in the turquoise waters.
Quiet beach close to Bangkok. Nice for weekend trip or staying if you like a quiet beach area. A hidden gem here is the Treeroot Retreat, a small hotel/retreat close to the beach with beautiful rooms, training facilities, surfboards, bicycles and a real familiar feeling to it.
Anders B — Google review
The beach was filthy with trash including broken glass. The sand was rough and had holes in it and hurt to walk on even with sandals. Lastly, the waves were so violent that swimming was definitely a no-go. We wanted to stay for a few hours for the sunset, but that was not an option with how disgusting and unsafe the beach was.
Christopher M — Google review
I heard complaints many times about the lack of cleanliness of this beach. It looks like some visitors forget to put the rubbish in the blue bins on the main road to avoid littering the beach. However the District Government and National Parks make HUGE efforts to keep those long and beautiful beaches, tidy and enjoyable. If you visit, PLEASE remember NOT to throw away in the beach any plastics nor any garbage, so we can continue to enjoy those fantastic beautiful beaches!

There's garbage everywhere and it smells awful. The smell I do believe was from someone who ate seafood and later threw the leftovers in the sand, but that's just my guess. It could be nice if there were some trash bins available and if people actually used them. The beach itself is not that bad and I would like to visit again when the place doesn't look like a garbage dump. I hope the place can get it's act together. It could be a proper tourist destination if it did. 🗑️🚮☹️

Okay beach in Rayong. No toilets around but parking in the road. Mostly clean but some rubbish and some stray dogs. Nowhere to sit really but a few food truck style cafes around.

An another 5 stars beach in Rayong. Mae Ram Phueng Beach is about 10 kilometres long beach on the outskirts of Rayong. People were there and there. Peace. We rented the sun shelter on the point of 2nd 7-Eleven. In the picture 5 meal see food dinner, one beer, one big cola, one big water, and my vegetarian spring rolls (not in the pic), altogether 1300 baht, about 35 euro. Not maybe the cheapest meal in Thailand, but nobody of us complained. Pattaya is full of farangs (as we will see, again, after couple of days), in Rayong I saw almost no tourists. And, then, Rayong is as a city (with much better beaches) much more interesting than Pattaya.
Hannu T — Google review
Just a typical beach that's is unusually uncrowded!! As with all beaches around the world it is littered with plastic, old shoes etc but this is common place these days. It does look like they have a clean up but the ocean will still throw up the trash that we all discard.. Along the beach you will find food stalls that have sun shades, deck chairs and plenty of designated roadside parking. The water looks surprisingly clean compared to Pattaya. Not many dogs around to, but the one we saw was very friendly. A lot of seafood being sold at the food stalls but with how quiet it is here the seafood will be hit and miss on how fresh it is! My girlfriend took some crabs and they had a mix of old/fresh crabs. At 550b kg prepared it's not expensive and each shop will be different prices. Overall a nice beach to go to if you want that uncrowded feel but still have everything you need for a decent day out.

Recommend to book the tickets before enter, the park is very strict on number of visitors to the park. The park is massive and we were place on the park designated vehicle that takes us around the park with explanations of each plant. Towards the end of our tour, the driver drop us off at where the buffet food was. There we can have as much fruits (including durian). As a durable lover, I would say the quality of durian at the park is not as good as the durian that you could get from the market.

Khao Kheow Open Zoo

Zoo

Wildlife and safari park
Nestled in the picturesque province of Chonburi, Khao Kheow Open Zoo is a must-visit destination for animal lovers and adventure seekers alike. This remarkable safari park showcases an impressive array of over 300 species, including majestic African mammals, tigers, and playful apes. What sets this zoo apart is its open-concept design that allows visitors to interact closely with the animals—feeding them and even enjoying unique experiences like a penguin parade or elephant rides.
Apart from getting that golf cart, everything was smooth. The variety of animals in the green zone was astonishing. The pink zone sadly wasn’t that great. Nevertheless, must visit compared to all those places with animal cruelty. Loved the animal interactions. Would definitely recommend! The bird aviary was awesome. Cage for humans is better than a cage for the birds

The zoo is very pretty , fun and really big . Had an amazing time with my family . I recommend rent the golf cart which will make your trip even more exciting.

Must visit 👍👍

Great zoo, a good place to spend the whole day. We bought a tour in Pattaya. Very huge territory. It's hard to understand on your first visit and impossible to walk around everything. Be sure to use the shuttles in the area or rent golf carts. I definitely recommend it! We fed lemurs, giraffes, elephants, rhinos, deer and a lion!
Ilvars T — Google review
The entrance can be confusing as a foreign visitor. I prebooked a ticket on Klook, then had to redeem it at the small white house a short walk from the entrance. Then I could return to the entrance and turn in that receipt. Zoo is a bit run down but the animals are interesting! I walked but ran out of steam pretty quickly. The tram and golf carts look like great options because you can stop and get off and on frequently. Lots of bathrooms and snack places. Souvenirs aren’t great but they are available.
Ellie N — Google review
I only gave 3 stars as it states it's an Open Zoo, it is for some animals, but others are kept in cramped caged areas. You can rent a self drive Golf cart or small tuk tuk to get around (recommended) as it is spread out over a vast area, too hot and humid to walk around. There are public trams that make the rounds, you can hop on/off, but of course have no control of where you're going. Bolt taxi from Pattaya was around £5 each way, a bargain considering the distance. The carts and tuk tuks are also very cheap to rent.

This place is wildly fun! For the first half of it. You can rent a golf cart and zip around and for the second half you can take a vehicle to get from exhibit to exhibit. There is so much more there than just one adorable, fantastic, feisty little hippo. Go for Moo Deng, stay for everything else! So great!

It’s changed a lot since my last visit when I was a kid. It’s very dirty with lots of trash on the floor and everywhere. It turned out to be a disgusting place and it looks deserted too. There is not many monkeys left there at the time of our visit.

Theme park
Water & Amusement Parks
Ramayana Water Park is a top destination for families, offering an array of thrilling water slides, wave pools, and attractions suitable for all ages. Located just 10 minutes from Pattaya beach in the picturesque Silver Lake area, this expansive park boasts 21 exhilarating rides, including unique experiences not found elsewhere in Asia. Visitors can enjoy everything from high-speed slides to relaxing in private cabanas while savoring the diverse food offerings.
Incredible fun waterpark with stunning garden and double wave pool. Amazing view from the top of the rides surrounding by the mountains. We have so much fun. Must visit!!! I definitely take the kids here again. Service needs to be improved from the ticket counter to information. Someone has stolen the kid glasses from the house we rent and no security check, no CCTV. No one ever walks to cleck but only says nobody has returned it yet.

We had so much fun here. Got our tickets online with a discount. Aside from water activities they also have table tennis and badminton. I love that they have a lot of stalls for food. Definitely a must try when you visit Pattaya. Also there’s free videos for the rides, just tell the operator and they will scan your wristband and you can claim your free videos on a machine and send it to your email.

A great water park, neat and clean. Plenty of places to eat and drink. A wide selection of slides. Towels can be rented for 100 baht. Small lockers large enough for a reasonable-sized bag are free, and larger lockers are available for rent. Unfortunately, it rained almost all day, which is a shame, but in good weather it's worth it. There are discounts in case of rain, but you have to ask for them, hence the lower star rating.
Ed R — Google review
Except the prices, everything’s great. There are many fantistic slides, pools water flows where can make everybody feels exciting. But the only problem of this place is very expensive price of all kind of things which sells inside, not only the entrance, locker fee but also the foods and drinks. They inspect every customer’s bags completely to check and prohibit of bring in own foods at the gate. Only the drinking water is allowed.

We came on a Saturday and really expected to have to queue at many attractions, but that was not the case at all. The park is huge and therefore many people are spread out and the queue times are very reasonable. If you come early you are guaranteed to not have to queue anywhere. The park is absolutely amazing with many attractions available, including multiple thrill rides. Highly recommended!

It’s so much fun and amazing setup for families with kids or friends who want to play existing games or relaxing. Helpful staff and great facilities are always clean and welcoming to everyone to use. Anything you need for a perfect day you can find it from shops inside. Sweeping stuff and food or drinks are available for all day long and evening for all ages with different types, sizes or styles.
Jason S — Google review
The place is spacious and clean. There are many games, food, drinks, and services. It is suitable for children and families. Parents can sit and wait for their children to play and do activities alone because there are security guards inside the place and they take care of everything closely. My family comes here every time we have a trip to Pattaya.

The Sanctuary of Truth Museum

Mentioned on 
+158 other lists 
Museum
Sights & Landmarks
Sanctuary of Truth is a 20-story complex made entirely of hand-hewn wood carvings, still under construction but open for tours. Similar to the Tibetan sand mandala art, this massive teak structure is a blend of architecture and philosophy, depicting lessons from various religions emphasizing respect for elders, choosing company wisely, and treating others well. It serves as a remarkable place for reflection on higher ideals and the impermanence of life.
We came from Bangkok to Pattaya and found this place thanks to our driver. The entrance fee was very fair, and the ticket included several activities. You can choose, for example, to join a guided tour with other visitors. The site itself is truly stunning, with everything carved out of wood. It’s a real masterpiece and absolutely worth a visit. You can even rent traditional Thai clothing to take beautiful photos. Unfortunately, we didn’t have much time and couldn’t explore all the activities, but we highly recommend it!
Mirantee B — Google review
The Sanctuary of Truth is absolutely breathtaking. The entire building is made of intricately carved wood, and seeing the craftsmanship up close is incredible. The guided tour was informative and helped explain the symbolism behind the design. The seaside location adds a peaceful atmosphere, and the photos came out amazing. There is some ongoing construction, but it actually makes the experience even more interesting since you can watch artisans working in real time. Overall, one of the most unique and memorable attractions in Pattaya. Highly recommended!
Ammy M — Google review
If you ever go to Pattaya, This place is a must visit. You may think it's just a temple but once you look at it with your own eyes, you will change your perspective about it. The art in the temple is commendable. Every inch here makes you wonder. Can't even imagine how they made it all the way. Most importantly they never used any concrete or civil joining items to make this temple, it's just wooden joint technique which holds this massive temple. Even 6 hours won't be enough to admit it's architecture beauty. Must must must visit place, never miss it.
Rahul — Google review
Absolutely stunning! The Sanctuary of Truth is one of the most breathtaking places I’ve ever visited. The entire structure is hand-carved wood, and every corner has incredible detail and symbolism. It feels more like stepping into a living piece of art than visiting a temple. If you’re in Pattaya, this is a must-visit.
레오이즘 L — Google review
I would have given 4 starts if it was not so expensive! This used to be free as it should be for a place of worship and not exploiting the tourists. 500 baht is a very big amount! All the temples are using the tourists to make big money. I would understand reasonable entrance fee but 14 euro is too much! Also the staff is hustle and you are obligated to go via a tour guide and special hours with your chosen language. We preferred to see the place on our own and in peace. Also very expensive restaurant. They even charged us 10 baht for ice in our very overpriced drinks we bought. All the statues are half naked but people are obligated to cover up, this part we did not get at all.
Parisa D — Google review
Any trip to Pattaya is not complete if one doesn’t visit the Sanctuary of Truth Museum. It’s an astonishingly beautiful structure which is made entirely of wood and has wonderful sculptures and wooden carvings inside teaching the visitors the philosophy of life. One can also try out the Thai Traditional costume for an hour and take pictures. There are different activities within the vicinity of this museum that visitors can try like feeding the animals, horse riding, boating etc and also a number of cafés and restaurants to satisfy your food cravings, as well as a souvenir shop if one wants to buy souvenirs.
Amenla L — Google review
An amazing structure which is well worth the visit. A one hour tour but you could spend another 2-3 hours admiring the architecture and carvings. There are food stalls and foot massages available and an amazingly tranquil river next to the temple grounds to have a nice meal and drink while soaking in the atmosphere. It was quite a trip from Bangkok city but well worth the effort to view it. Only drawback is that they have animal rides in the form of horses and elephants and I feel sad for the forlorn looking animals made to serve so that their masters can earn some money. Temple wise - it's absolutely majestic. From the same people who designed the awesome White Temple in Chiangrai.
Huen Y — Google review
Must visit place in Thailand. Its completly built by wooden. Includes indian, chinese and thai culture and history carvings. I recomend every one to visit this. Entry fee is really woth and dont miss to wear full dress for ladis (Shoulders and knees should be covered) no shorts for boys (to wear full pant). If you come with short dress you will have to refundable deposit of 200 thb and get the cloth for boys and girls.

Botanical garden

Gardens
Nong Nooch Botanical Garden is a sprawling 500-acre attraction that offers a diverse range of experiences. In addition to its themed gardens showcasing Thai culture, it features elephant shows and rides, as well as a variety of dining options. The garden is one of the largest botanical gardens in Southeast Asia and boasts an array of plant species, including orchids, bonsai trees, and cacti. Visitors can also enjoy performances, activities, and even explore a small zoo within the expansive grounds.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Nong Nooch Garden is a beautiful place in Pattaya and really worth the visit. The gardens are huge with so many zones — orchids, cactus, French style, and even dinosaur valley. Everything is well kept and perfect for photos. There are cultural shows, elephant shows, and a sightseeing tram if you don’t want to walk too much. Lots of food options inside too. The ticket price is fair. If you book online on sites like Trip.com, it’s even cheaper. Best to plan at least half a day here because there’s so much to see. Tips: Go early, wear comfy shoes, and bring sun protection. Some people may not like the animal shows, so keep that in mind. Overall, I had a great time — beautiful, relaxing, and very good value. Highly recommend! 🌿✨

Well one of the must visit place in Pattaya. You can visit here with your family or friends and spend some quality time. It is away from the main city ,you can book a cab or any group tour. But you can easily get Grab/bolt. This place needs your full day to explore. This place is good for childrens. Tickets should be book in advance.

If you are three lover and interested in knowing different varieties of tree plants, flowers, this is the place for you to go. It’s huge categorised in proper manner. Be ready to walk more. Spend time over there or else you can just take a tour from outside (you won’t be able to see much from outside). The elephant show place is also nearby, so if you are planning to go over there, then take little extra time to visit there as well. It can be a day affair.
Megha S — Google review
The one of the best tour scene for foreigners. It’s not only the gardens, but there are so many artistic works on the walking zones. We encountered the heavy rain during the day which, however, we were dry due to covered sky gardens. The food in the cafeteria was good and the drink is perfect made. The dinosaur zone is vivid and educational. Amazing that I never saw such around the world. The best price, of course are comprehensive one in the world. In the addition the folk dance show as well as the elephant show are so well organized, and the elephants are well trained and so awesome in that and very entertaining. I would recommend to come next time with the kids or grandkids. Unfortunately, we don’t have enough time to finish all to comers. I highly recommend to everybody who stays few days in Pattaya.
John Z — Google review
For the show in the theater, only the first part of it worth seeing, showing about the traditional Thai provience clothing's and dance. The second part is some old pop song with fancy dancers. Other places of this garden is too big to walk, although you can take the sightseeing mini bus, but only you will see some concrete dino and animal statue. Food inside is good and cheap, no worries.

As much as garden is impressive and I really enjoyed visiting it, I didn't realise they keep elephants on hand and they let people ride them. I cannot watch cruelty like that! I got really upset when I saw staff member training young elephant to be ridden on and was hitting it with a stick in the head. Poor animals so abused and frightened. Garden might be the most amazing, I post photos, but I will never visit it again. Not contributing to animal cruelty

Pattaya Beach Road is the beating heart of the city, a dynamic and ever-changing strip that offers a true microcosm of the Pattaya experience. While some might describe the beach itself as less than pristine, the energy and convenience of the road more than make up for it. ​During the day, the vibe is relaxed but active. You'll find a steady flow of tourists strolling along the promenade, vendors selling snacks and souvenirs, and people enjoying water sports. It’s a great place for people-watching and soaking in the seaside atmosphere. The road is also home to major shopping destinations like Central Festival, providing a modern contrast to the more traditional beachside activities. ​As night falls, Beach Road transforms into a vibrant spectacle of neon lights, music, and social activity. It serves as the main artery connecting visitors to the legendary Walking Street and a wide array of restaurants and bars. While the area can get incredibly busy, especially on weekends, the lively atmosphere is part of its unique charm. For a first-time visitor, or anyone who wants to be in the center of the action, Beach Road is the perfect location.
Sashank U — Google review
Pattaya Beach Road is the vibrant heartbeat of the city — a perfect mix of beachside relaxation and electric nightlife. Whether you’re here for a peaceful sunset stroll or ready to dive into Pattaya’s famous after-dark energy, this stretch has something for everyone. During the day, the palm-lined promenade is ideal for walking or cycling, with beautiful views of the ocean and plenty of shaded spots to sit and watch the world go by. Street vendors serve fresh coconut water, Thai snacks, and seafood, adding a local flavor to your experience. The beach itself is lively, with options for water sports, boat rides to nearby islands, or just unwinding with a cold drink in a beach chair. As the sun sets, Beach Road transforms. The atmosphere becomes more vibrant, filled with music, lights, and the buzz of nightlife. Bars, restaurants, and local markets line the street — perfect for enjoying fresh seafood, meeting travelers from around the world, and experiencing the true spirit of Pattaya. It’s safe, well-maintained, and always alive — whether you’re a solo traveler, a couple, or a group of friends. If you’re in Pattaya, spending time on Beach Road is a must

Interesting place for tourists but prices are higher compared to other markets. Can bargain a bit. It gets really hot from 10am to 4pm even if it's open space with covered walkways . Some local food stalls too. Can spend around 2 hours. The boat ride is nice but expensive. The water is visibly dirty.

It’s a great mix of traditional Thai charm and fun tourist experiences. The food options are amazing (don’t miss the coconut ice cream!) and the people are warm and welcoming. Perfect spot to spend a few relaxed hours soaking in the local vibe and taking photos. Definitely worth a visit! 🌸🚤

I loved this place. We had an hour to explore but the was no where near enough time. (We went there on a tour) Wide variety of things to buy. I was able to grab a couple dresses and some souvenirs for my family and friends. We had some almonds that were delicious and a couple fruit smoothies. We also had a traditional Thai meal...eggs, seafood soup (with the entire shrimp including the head) and another, I think, it was soup...but very spicy. When we first got there, the took us to the other side on a boat, it was like Italy. *fun fact* there is no toilet paper nor paper towels in the bathrooms. So be prepared to let everything air dry....lol But definitely go.
Latonia S — Google review
Pattaya Floating Market is a popular tourist spot, but overall, it’s an mixed experience. The entrance fee is on the higher side compared to what it offers. While the concept of a traditional floating market sounds exciting, the actual arrangement and environment are not as impressive or authentic as expected. The beauty and charm that one might hope for are somewhat lacking. It’s more of a place to check off from a list rather than one to truly enjoy. Worth a short visit if you’re nearby, but not something to go out of your way for.
Shahzad S — Google review
The place is listed in the top of my Pattaya vacation with highest expectations. However the price was incredibly high, but the activity delivered almost nothing of value; the quality of food was shockingly poor and very unhealthy. For example I paid 800 B per person and 1600 for my wife and me. The list price is only 600 in google map. In one of fruit seller, she sold me a 300+ golden stale and fermenting Durian. I Felt still painful with grumpy stomach. The water was muddy and no sightseeing worthy of any photos. The boat is only about 10 minutes on muddy water pond. I would not recommend this to anyone because the price is high and the service is practically zero. I also recommend the local government should involve in the regulation of food, price, and activities fitted to the price.
John Z — Google review
I liked this place, but I recommend not taking the boat ride — it’s a waste of money. Just buy the 200-baht entry ticket and explore. Don’t go for the 800-baht ticket. Other than that, it’s a great place to visit, shop, and take photos.
Loorixx A — Google review
Undoubtedly one of the best in the world. It was really a very delectable experience. The beautiful black gondola-like boat meandering through the narrow canals bordered by endless small shops on either side is an amazing sight, and, of course, an unforgettable experience. It was nice to watch the innumerable small boats serving as little shops selling everything on earth. One thing worth mentioning is the perfect cleanliness of the place. Hats off to the people and the authorities, for keeping such a busy place so neat and clean

Ko Sichang

Island
Nature & Parks
Ko Sichang is a picturesque island that can be easily reached by ferry from Bangkok. It offers various hiking trails, beaches for relaxation and scooter rentals to explore the island. You can hire a bike to travel conveniently from top to bottom and relish local seafood in numerous restaurants. Although it has limited beaches, the stunning sunsets compensate for it. This place is ideal for running enthusiasts as the roads are good with some great hills.
A beautiful and quiet island. If you are looking for a non touristy place, peaceful and not too crowded than that's the place to be! Despite the fact that several establishments are abandoned and half ruined, the other part is still functioning and being maintained. Plenty of local shops, local supermarket and local restaurants that doesn't appear on the Google map. Some of the places doesn't have things translated in English but you can use your phone. Better to rent a Motorbike and within a day you can visit everything from north to south. People are smiling and easy going. If you need to rest or retreat somewhere quite you can try this island.

Beautiful island peaceful and quiet compare with the tourist crowded Pattaya. But overall the boat service to the island was a nightmare. The fishing boat modified my family and me boarded was lack of safety even thought it has the life jacket equipped. The boat’s boarding walk way was too narrow. An accident happened during my trip back as one local fell to the sea. Just be prepared and caution when travel with elder and children.

What I liked about the small, cozy island of Ko Si Chang: # No cars allowed! Only scooters and stylish tuktuks. # Very little number of tourists, so no noisy night life. # Diversified hilly terrain with super satisfying narrow winding roads for scooter riding (rent your own Zoomer for 300 bht/24h). # Some quiet resorts and natural nooks where you can hide from the world and avoid crowds - good for writers or thinkers perhaps. # Dry microclimate: you feel like in Greece for a change, not a greenhouse. # Wonderful vistas from a promenade to the west and other high points. # Some choice of vegan food in certain restos. # Low prices. # So close to Bkk, 4 hrs by bus and ferry in total. # Smiling friendly locals. Be aware of sea urchins (bring plastic shoes) and jellyfish in the ocean. Be prepared that life slows down rapidly right after disembarking and you might need some time to get in sync.

Paradise. Small, quaint peaceful little island without too many tourists. Immerse yourself in Thai culuture and be sure to check out the amazing Chinese temple, talk a walk along Asdang pier and catch the sunset from Hat Tham Phang Beach.

Buddhist temple

Wat Phra Yai, also known as Big Buddha Hill, is a hilltop religious site located in south Pattaya. It features an 18-meter tall Buddha statue and a staircase flanked by huge dragons. The temple complex includes other popular temples like Wat Yansangwararam Woramahawihan, Wat Khao Phra Bat Temple, and Wat Pa Pradu. Visitors can enjoy the serene ambiance and panoramic views of Pattaya and its coastline from this elevated location.
Visiting the Buddhist temple was a truly peaceful experience. The atmosphere was calm, the surroundings were beautiful, and the positive energy inside the temple felt refreshing. It’s a perfect place to sit, reflect, and find inner peace. I highly recommend visiting if you want a quiet and spiritual break from daily life.

A Peaceful Gem Above Pattaya – Wat Phra Yai Despite being one of Pattaya’s most visited landmarks, Wat Phra Yai remains a calm and peaceful sanctuary. The moment you begin your ascent up the stairs flanked by golden serpents, there's a quiet spiritual energy that sets the tone for the experience. The Big Buddha statue itself is impressive, but it's the atmosphere that truly stands out. Even with tourists around, the temple grounds are incredibly well-maintained and respected, allowing visitors to soak in the serenity without feeling rushed or crowded. One of the highlights is the panoramic view over Pattaya city and the bay – it’s absolutely stunning and well worth the climb. Whether you’re there in the early morning or closer to sunset, the cityscape offers a beautiful contrast to the peacefulness at the top. Don’t miss the chance to write your wishes on the wish tree – it’s a thoughtful and grounding experience, adding a personal touch to your visit. Whether you're spiritual or simply seeking a peaceful escape, Wat Phra Yai is a must-visit that offers both reflection and a deeper appreciation of #Thai culture. No ticket required. #ThingsToDo #Pattaya #Buddha

The Wat Phra Yai also called the Big Buddha Temple at pratumnak hills is a beautiful temple on a hill top in Pattaya. A must visit place if you are looking to learn more about Buddhism and its teachings. They have different statues of Lord Buddha depicting his various stages of life. The city view from here is mesmerising and so you can capture great pictures and make memories here. They also have souvenir shops right outside the temple and a place where you can borrow a Sarong in case you are in shorts as they don’t allow entry into the temple with shorts for the ladies and entry is free

You will be greeted by long stairway before reaching to the top. Once you reach to the top, you will be greeted by a handful of Buddhas in different forms. It is an interesting visit because not only you can have a chance to view all these unique looking Buddhas, but also a nice panoramic view of the city, which makes this an one of a kind experience.

The hilltop location gives you beautiful views of Pattaya city and the bay 🌅. The temple is clean, well-maintained, and free to enter. Wear modest clothing and be respectful of the local customs. Great spot for photos and a quick cultural experience! 📸 Tip: No need to book this through agent, just take GRAB, easily available and cost effective.

Free entrance as it should be for a temple! All the rest of the temples are making a business out of the tourists. I would understand 3-5 euro for an entrance fee but less than 500 baht you don’t find anymore which is a huge amount! This one was luckily free and we did a donation of course. It has nice views up the hill and some small shops in front of it. Cover your shoulders and legs, covers you can borrow for free as well.

Make sure to cover your shoulders and knees. The temple and statues are incredible. There is an ice cream truck with flavoured waffle cones which were a total hit and so affordable! I highly recommend visiting here.

Definitely worth a visit! It's free and very pleasant; there were few visitors at midday, allowing me to take beautiful pictures and enjoy peace and quiet in the shade on a mezzanine level. Thank you!

There is plenty of parking space and many restaurants to choose from. The area is full of trees, making it a nice spot to relax and enjoy food. The sea is beautiful with very clear water, and the beach is clean. Many foreign tourists like to visit here. However, there are not many restrooms, and trash bins are quite hard to find. 19/09/2025

The area is a picturesque haven, boasting a clean, soft sandy beach and crystal clear water like you see in the movie. The beach is a great place to spend a day, offering a natural shaded area with pine trees and a great selection of fresh Thai food that is good value for money. You can see coral and specially the sea punching just by walking . Awesome experience and it's a must place to visit when you are in Pattaya or Jomtien.

Nice hidden Gem. Beach is kept clean. Monkeys are not aggressive. They play a reminder every hour or so for everyone to clean up after themselves. Plenty of options for food. Well worth a few hours sitting under a tree.

For visiting Sae Kaew beach, it is recommended to take a local taxi. From Patraya, it is 200-300 baht (September). The taxi driver knows, where to stop to buy an entrance ticket (100 baht/person) and will easily get a permission for driving through the marine military area. Sae Kaew is a relatively clean beach with very good service in the blue restaurant. Eventually, you can see some apes jumping around.

Coral Island, Pattaya, is an absolute paradise! The crystal-clear waters, soft sandy beaches, and vibrant marine life make it a must-visit destination. The range of water activities is impressive — from underwater walking amidst colorful fish to parasailing, banana boat rides, and sea scooter adventures.
