more to think about...

Nestling the Gulf of Thailand about 140km south-east of Bangkok, Pattaya has gained the enviable reputation as one of the country’s most dynamic and attractive destinations.

Having long been the tourism, business and commercial centre of Thailand’s eastern seaboard as well as a major

lifestyle, shopping and entertainment destination, Pattaya boasts an array of amenities for business and leisure travellers alike.

For tourists, world-class water sports, golf, shopping, cabaret shows, an elephant village, Muay Thai, and fascinating museums add to a broad spectrum of restaurants, serving some of Thailand’s freshest seafood and an excellent selection of authentic international eateries.

For business travellers, Pattaya is one of Thailand’s five premiere MICE Cities, dubbed ‘A colourful eastern MICE City’ thanks to its reputation for sea, sun and beachside fun, where pleasure and business meet. Such is its reputation; Pattaya is being promoted as a leading MICE destination not only in Thailand but also in the ASEAN region.

As the Thai government’s official flagship body for the MICE sector, a core part of TCEB’s mission is to raise awareness of Thailand’s world-class MICE destinations. To encourage more meetings and events, TCEB is developing a range of aids to promote and facilitate MICE events in Pattaya.

These include DMICE@Pattaya, a mobile app that meeting attendees can access to help them during their visits, and the ‘MICE City Break: Pattaya’ campaign to create awareness of the potential and readiness of the city as an international MICE destination of the East.

With more than 390 local and international brand hotels offering a total of 28,459 guest rooms, from luxurious hotels with superb convention facilities to simple guesthouses, there is something to suit every tourist’s preferences and needs. Add to this a wide-ranging choice of 102 meeting rooms, the city is ready with open arms to host international MICE events of all scales.

On behalf of TCEB, I am pleased to congratulate the North Pattaya Alliance for their great work in spearheading a renewed interest in the city’s dynamic northern district. With seven of the city’s top hotels speaking with one voice to boost Pattaya’s image under “more than you think” concept, significant success will undoubtedly follow.

North Pattaya - probably the biggest bang for your buck in the meetings business.

more to see...Easily accessible, beautiful offshore islands that are ideal for barbecues, team building or simply relaxing.

With North Pattaya as your base, sufficiently distanced from the more colourful nightlife, you have access to one of Asia’s largest and most modern shopping malls packed with designer brands.

Street Markets where it seems you can buy anything, a breath taking wooden temple by the ocean, a huge golden Buddha, a winery, and fun for all the family with glitzy ladyboy shows, water parks, a temple complex that gathers together different temple styles from around the world, tropical gardens, a gigantic Buddha etched into a mountainside, go kart racing, an equestrian centre, and nearby fishing villages where you can watch the timeless village life and eat the freshest seafood you are ever likely to find.

You want more? How about paintball parks, museums and some of Asia’s best golf courses - and all at affordable prices. And amidst all this, if you get up early enough in the morning, you can still see Buddhist monks in saffron robes making their morning rounds to collect alms.

The options for social programmes are simply overwhelming. Surprised? You will be. There is more to North Pattaya than you think….

more pampering and partying... Enjoy a traditional Thai massage as you lay on a sandy tropical island beach, serenaded by the sounds of the waves gently caressing the shore and the breeze softly rustling the palm trees. Or experience the very latest international treatments and therapies in a world class spa - and all for a fraction of the price you would pay back home.

For a day of luxury, charter a yacht or catamaran for a private picnic on a secluded island beach - or have the event set up and catered by one of North Pattaya’s hotels. Savour outstanding international cuisine at award winning restaurants or discover the true taste of Thailand and understand why Thai food is one of the world’s most popular cuisines. There’s a host of dining opportunities on your doorstep at North Pattaya.

And afterwards experience nightlife that includes jazz bars, blues bars, sports bars, fun pubs, local breweries and modern discotheques that wouldn’t be out of place in Europe’s capitals. Listen to live Italian opera as you sip a locally brewed German beer, enjoy musical talent covering all types of popular music or visit a glitzy cabaret show. Pattaya is so much more than the reputation of its nightlife that precedes it.

You won’t find more fun in one place anywhere in the world.
